An ideal choice for first-time visitors to Koreatown who aren't sure what to expect, the strengths of this part-sushi, part-barbeque spot rest mainly in the dcor, which is above average for the neighborhood. Expect a rocky waterfall, traditional music, an open sushi bar, and spaced out tables. First-timers will enjoy the attractively-prepared dishes, although true junkies might venture across the street for less expensive and more flavorful fare.
