| - We have been back a few times here, mainly for the food. The service itself is just soso.
You are greeted with a few tanks of seafood, some flounders, octopus, and some random sea creatures I cannot name.
We stumbled on this gem by accident. Usually came during lunch hour, and have the bento or sashimi rice. The seafood is always fresh and the presentation thoughtful. I especially love the 5 color natto vegetable salad that you eat wrapped with seaweed. I could eat this everyday. They never gave enough seaweed so you have to order more, which cost like a buck for 9 pieces or something. For something like this you'd think they'd just refill for free but no.
Then one time we came for dinner and decided to branch out and order the more exotic Korean style sashimi platter at the back of the menu. The quantity is amazing! The flounder sashimi was quite interesting. The texture is crisper compared to the usual tuna or salmon.
The rest of the sashimi are from things like sea urchin and other unknown creatures, but when the octopus sashimi came it was quite a shock. We had not expect the degree of freshness this would be. The chopped up tentacles were moving vigorously on the plate, so much so that some of them escaped from the plate. When you tried to remove them, the suckers on the tentacles kept them stuck on the plate. It was an interesting experience. I did not eat them, as I was still shocked by the liveliness of the severed limbs. When I spoke to my Korean relatives about this, they laughed and said that was the way it is supposed to be.
The combo also came with a big kimchi soup at the end. We were too full from all the sashimi to enjoy it.
All in all, I love the food here, will come back but just know don't expect too much on the service aspect
