| - ThIs restaurant is OVERRATED. Don't be fooled by the hype. First, as many reviewers mentioned, the wait is VERY long between servings. I waited easily 45 mins for the appetizer. Second, the rice is not cooked well. As any sushi eater knows, rice is the most basic and the most important thing they must master. I don't know if it's the chef's fault.....but the rice was not consistent. It was sometimes too vinegary, sometimes too sweet and fell apart. It's really easy to have the freshest fish and have the greatest quality of fish. You just have to have to buy or order the best fish possible. People think the sushi is great because the fish is "fresh" and melting in their mouth. I'll repeat myself, the most important and the first thing they have to master is making a good rice. That's no way you can call yourself a sushi chef if you cannot make the rice right. You might have a great knife and the freshest fish, chef Park did not impress me.
I was sitting at the sushi bar in front of chef Park. I was truly disappointed that he was telling me all about the numbers of restaurants and the tv shows he was going to appear on. I have sat at many sushi bar. What an experience it is to see the humble sushi chef who has worked all his life to master the art of sushi.
I do not care about the cost of my meal, as long as it worth it. I am sorry, but the price I paid for my meal did not correspond to the quality and the details of other sushi restaurants.
I wanted to mentioned that I didn't try the other Korean plates on the menu. Therefore cannot comment on them, Unfortunately, I have no intention on coming back.
