ATMOSPHERE:
It's mostly a lunch take out place for workers in downtown, but they have several tables if you wish to dine here.

SUSHI:
To be fair, this is not a sushi place or claims to be. It's a Korean take out place that also services some Japanese food including the sashimi bowl for $10 which is loaded with lots of sashimi. With that said, their sashimi bowl is terrible. The fish tastes like it's been defrosted and frozen several times, and the worst part was that in between the sashimi slices and the rice, there are mayo marinated half raw vegetables. What is that!? I can forgive the bad sashimi as it's a cheap take out place, but having half cooked carrots on my way of the rice just ruins everything.

OTHER DISHES:
Since this is the Korean take out place (even though it's presented like a Japanese place), they do their Korean stuff well. Bulgogi and bibimbap are actually quite good and they give you really big portion. Their chicken katsu is also pretty good. But all of their bowls come with the mayo marinated half cooked veggies.

SERVICE:
During lunch time, people line up, so try going a bit later to avoid the crowd. As this is a take out place, even if you are dining inside, they will still serve your food in styrofoam bowl, but they pack it heavy with food. The bowls are decently priced from $6. I recommend their Korean stuff, but stay away from the sashimi bowl.
