- Food Fanily and I ordered Bone-in Sliced Fish and Live Fish menu item, which came with many side dishes for us to enjoy. Select favorites were the oden and katsudon. Best to come in on an empty stomach because you will be eating a lot! The live fish platter was nicely presented and had nice texture. It is served with sesame leaves and lettuce for you to wrap the fish in with soybean paste. - Service Very attentive service, cleaned the finished dishes in timely manner. There are a lot of separate plates so space management is key. We were glad to have good service. - Ambiance Quaint and small shop with cute lanterns above. There is a fishtank as well where they keep the live fish and other critters (abalone, eels, etc). In the back is the sushi chef. There is a bathroom as well.

We ordered the $270 set for 5 of us! We did the assorted sashimi set and it came with all of this food. Lots of sides and apps come with the set so it was a no brainer. The waiter was super friendly and helped translate things on the menu for us. Our favorite side was the baked scallops and the spaghetti. Oh and the starter abalone congee was made soooooo good!!! The sashimi was yummy but the flounder is definitely more on the chewier side. It seems like the most ordered dish as everyone around us also ordered the flounder sashimi. Would come back again!

I used to go to the other place for sashime bit found out that it was permanently closed so we tried this place for the first time. 5 of us had a nice early dinner. The server was super attentive and friendly. The quality and freshness of sashimi was superb. The quantity was more than what we can consume for dinner. The best dish served was 매운탕 which I dont have the picture uploaded. We will go back to try other dishes they have.

This is very personal review. Im crazy of sashimi. It is very impossible to find raw live fish in other states. But, Only N.Y and L.A. does have this because they have so enough sashimi restaurants with high demand that they could import raw fishes with acceptable Transportation costs from korea by airplanes. This is economies of scale. Anyway, Sashimi was excellent for me. Service and Atmosphere doesn't matter to me. I was so happy to enjoy live fish. I recommend you to visit if you like to live seafood.

I had the pleasure of visiting this newly opened restaurant, and I was genuinely impressed by the owner's warm welcome and attentive service. The enticing array of tsukidashi whetted my appetite, and the fresh raw fish was a delightful treat. Every dish, including the spicy stew, was executed perfectly, making it a memorable dining experience that I look forward to sharing with friends on future visits.

We have been craving for Korean sashimi for a while and decided to give Jeju Island a try since it has been on my bucket list for a while. It looks like classic Jeju Island style which I saw from Korean drama and we were surrounded by Koreans so I think it should be authentic. We were astounished by the spread of combo for three. The portion was incredibly huge with reasonable price. It’s overall fresh, flavorful and satisfying but not delicate at all.
