I want to give some big propers to Sung's House! I made my first visit here yesterday evening for a quick snack before an event downtown and, to be honest, I wasn't expecting to be wow-ed. The unassuming storefront, the Playhouse Square locale, and the fact that they serve both Korean and Japanese cuisine, erroneously, made me think that I'd be in for some mediocre maki. Not the case!
My simple order of (1) vegetable and (1) eel roll really knocked my socks off. The sumeshi was head-and-shoulders about most sushi restaurants: perfectly cooked, well-seasoned (with just the right amount of tang from rice vinegar, which I find is too often absent), and lightly packed around the nori. Neither bland nor mushy - absolutely perfect!
I devoured my rolls with a smile and will be back to try more from the menu when I have more time to savor. If you're looking for a bite in Playhouse Square, I really recommend giving Sung's House a try.
