In a Korean style restaurant like this, you just need to know 3 things. How fresh is the sashimi (how they slice/texture), quality of the extra side menu, and how delicious is the maeun-tang soup.
Instead of multiple cheap fried side dishes, we were given abalone porridge, clam soup, salmon head, and a whole platter of fresh seafood. This restaurant checked off all 3 boxes and I recommend it if you want authentic Korean style seafood/sashimi.

Wow… talk about a literal hole in the wall restaurant. I've lived in LA for 30 years but I've never heard of this place.
First off, the vibes of this place is pretty unique in a Korean way. The interior is pretty cramped, they play Korean music from the 70s & 80s, and the servers help you so long as it doesn't inconvenience them too much. It definitely helps if someone in your party can speak Korean, but it's no guarantee that you'll receive great service.
Even if the service can be bad, the food is absolutely amazing. I need to know where they get their fish from because the "fresh" sashimi I get at Korean markets don't come close to what this restaurant serves. I can never go back to eating market sashimi again. I'm ruined. The portions are absolutely massive as well. My family of 4 got the Combo C but it was way too much food for us. We ended up taking almost half of the sashimi home. Definitely get a serving size less than what they recommend.

We ordered 2 full lobster sashimi, when they took the claws back to the kitchen to make into a soup, only 1 pair of claws came back. When we asked what happened to the other pair…they made excuses about it being too small and they threw it away…. It was not small at all.
Food was not bad, but it felt very rushed and disorganized…& the place is super small.

Hidden away, if you didn't know you'd never find it, super friendly staff, fresh seafood, and good atmosphere. Was a pleasure to dine and talk to the staff.

Great service and hospitality, a Korean traditional home style raw fish restaurant, super fresh halibut and seafood. Small cozy atmosphere for family dinning out.
