    Now, in my world of sushi, this place isn't 5 stars. But for London, it is.

    I was seriously craving some Korean food, so I convinced my boyfriend to bring me here. When I saw that menu, I thought I had died. It had everything I needed to survive here. Ditching my initial craving for some dolsot bibimbap, I decided to order the sushi here.

    Boyfriend ordered the shrimp tempura combo, I got, what I think, was the maki combo.

    The soup was good, and the salad, though not as amazing as I would have liked it to be, was much better than my previous experience at asahi sushi. The food came and it looked delectable.

    It was the rice that did it for me. Sushi can be ruined if the rice is bad, and for the first time since I have been in this city, I found rice that was perfectly cooked. I ate all the amazing sushi pieces, and snuck some of my boyfriends tempura into my tummy while I was at it.

    I would definitely recommend this place over that other highly rated sushi place in London

    This is perhaps one of two Korean food restaurants in London, Ontario.   The service staff and owners are super happy and friendly!  They go out of their way to make it a great dining experience.  There is a great diverse selection of both Japanese and Korean food.

    The restaurant has primarily private booths - about 10 of them.  Most of them are for 2-4 people, and there are two booths that hold 10+ people.  The decor is very dated in Hunter Green pleather seats and flower carpets.  Tons of silk flowers in the seating area.

    Panchan included kim chee, bean sprouts, spinach, fish cake, and soybeans.  Grade:  B.

    For appetizers, we had two:

    Appetizer #1:  Siu Mai.  There were 6 pieces of siu mai served with a side of soy sauce.   The siu mai were the ones that you buy frozen from the store and were steamed.   Grade:  C-.

    Appetizer #2:  Tempura combination.  Two pieces of shrimp tempura, one piece each of cauliflower, broccoli, kabocha pumpkin and carrot.  Tempura was freshly made and served hot.  Grade:  B.

    Hwe Dul Bop:  Sashimi salad.  A bed of lettuce topped with freshly grated beets, carrots,  two colored tobiko (red and orange), maguro (red tuna), and Tai (whitefish snapper).  Served with a bowl of rice and a dollup of kochujang sauce.  Nice and fresh.  Grade:  B+

    Soon tofu soup:  Kim chee broth soup served with tofu and pieces of shrimp and onions.  The tofu wasn't the silky soft, but it was very firm and hard.  Little taste to the soup.  I asked for it to be spicy spicy spicy but it came barely colored in peppers.  No flavor and blan.  I ended up not eating 75% of the dish.  Grade:  C-.

    Kal Bi Jim:  Braised shortribs dish was served with about 4-5 pieces of shrtribs, tender and fall off the bone.  Lacked a bit of flavor, but was well prepared.  Meat was fatty, which was nice.  Grade:  B.

    Service here was OUTSTANDING!   Grade:  A!

    Believed they've have been here forever
    The price range can go over the top if you're a "sushi sushi eater"
    The freshness of the fish are amazing
    Korean cuisine and Japanese Cuisine by this place are excellent
    definitely cooked by skilled and experienced chef
    The wait is depends on the day
    Recommend order from the menu

    All you can eat menu doesn't have as much varieties  as every other place in London

    Keep it Yelp !

    Dated decor in a state of disrepair -- large piece of wall paper hanging from the wall, seat cushions cracked and revealing foam.  Sushi tasted very bland with no distinction between different types of fish.  My Dol Sot Bibimbap had almost no beef in it.  Loud.  Slow service.  I will "Take" my money elsewhere.

    Pretty standard Japanese fare at this place that for me was nothing terrible yet nothing special either.  I had the tempura soba which was ok.  The broth was a little bland and the tempura was a little on the heavy side.  I've heard however that this place is more known for their Korean food which I haven't had a chance to try yet (and this place seems to be quite popular with many Koreans in London).  Will have to try again.
