The outside of the restaurant is a little dilapidated, but I prefer the food to the looks of a restaurant anyways.

The portions are enormous! This is the first non-BBQ Korean place I’ve been to and the food was amazing. I had the Jajangmyeon, and the noodles were hot and chewy just the way I love them. And the black bean sauce coating it was excellent. Unfortunately, all of our dishes were a little oily. Not a bad place at all!

The best sushi I’ve had outside of Japan itself! The couple that runs/owns the restaurant are really friendly and quick to serve, though it might help that my friend is a family friend of the owners?

The cuts of nigiri are by no means lean, they’re big and fold over the rice beautifully with just a hint of wasabi. With exquisite presentation, only the taste itself could match it! The cuts of salmon and tuna we had just melted and flowed. There was no hint of sinewy material getting caught somewhere in my teeth, it was just… delicious. The rolls are prepared with such care and taste just as good! Though the cuts here aren’t as magnanimous, they are fantastic.

I enjoy the katsu and beef teriyaki here as well, but I am by no means an expert on 4-legged meat. But I really enjoyed it.

Though, there was one annoyingly boisterous customer who kept screaming “I’M STILL HUNGRY, WHAT’VE YOU GOT TO EAT, MAN??” Alas, I cannot control who goes here.

Well sized salads with delicious dressings, though I love their poppyseed. And awesome sandwiches with all the fixings I could ask for! It’s unfortunate that they don’t have a slightly larger variety in salads, but they are very good! Though their quality can differ from day to day depending on who makes it. A solid staple in the restaurants in the area but nothing to truly rave about.
