Story: we were heading home from Kalahari and everyone was hungry. I did not want to eat here but everyone else in our group voted for sushi. The place did have good Google reviews overall but I chalked those up to being written mostly by rural bums (also coming from the nearby Kalahari resort) who just didn't know any better. Well, as soon as I walked in the boss was very clearly Korean. I was like heol, maybe I'm not gonna get duped (at least in regards to their Korean food.) And yes-- the Yukgaejang, sundabu, and bibimbap were on point; the japchae was a bit soggy but otherwise good. I was more pleasantly surprised by how fresh all the sashimi was (totally didn't expect it from a spot that was a bit far from the coast!) We were a largish party consisting of mostly kids. They were their usual hellion selves (utensil drumming, loud talking, etc.) and I was a bit worried that I'd get an earful from one of the servers. We got none of that! Just a brief warning when one of them climbed on a chair. I didn't get any "grrr kids" vibe from anyone here and I'm very grateful for that. Sorry about that again! In regards to pricing-- it was exactly what I'm used to but I was kinda hoping that a little stop along the highway was going to be cheaper than NYC's midtown. Pulling quality chefs and then ingredients to the middle of nowhere can't be too cheap though.

Love this place! This is our birthday spot. They have delicious rolls and the sashimi is is always fresh when we order! I recommend the party platters for groups! Even small groups...there's never leftovers!

This is a fusion place that blends the cuisines of Korean and Japanese. Further, wait staff were diverse which makes this a more interesting location. The waitstaff were very knowledgeable about the dishes and gave GREAT recommendations. So there is this whole blend of cuisines and diversity going on! Locals and tourists started to come in by 6pm on a weeknight! The food is solid in terms of rolls etc. (But it is not going to be exceptional.) For a town that should include more variety, this place works!! Just enjoy it! Support your local businesses!! The seafood pancake were decent.

Very decent Korean and sushi restaurant in the area. I wasn't expecting much when searching up Asian food to eat in the area and found this place to have pretty good reviews. It didn't disappoint. The entire restaurant was humble but lovely. I liked the cozy interior, the selection of food was great, and the wait staff were friendly, experienced, and efficient. The sushi wasn't bad. The rice to filling ratio was good (there wasn't too much rice), and I thought the rice was cooked perfectly (it was on the firmer side, which I like). We ordered the Dragon Roll, Tiger Dragon Roll, Eel Avocado, Salmon Avocado, Salmon Dragon Roll. They were all good and as expected. Love that they have several combo sushi menu items like "2 rolls," "2 rolls and 1 special roll," "2 special rolls," etc. We also ordered the Avocado Bomb appetizer, which wasn't bad. It had a lot of sauce, and anyone who likes special sushi rolls (which usually come with more sauce) or California Rolls would love this. It's basically a California Roll without the rice and seaweed. We also ordered a hot stone bibimbap, which wasn't bad but wasn't great, I'd say. The rice like the sushi rice was cooked perfectly, but the whole rice dish felt like it was missing some key flavors even after having the gochujang sauce mixed in. I think it was because the veggies weren't pickled veggies, and it was lacking some seasame oil that bibimbaps usually have. The Bulgogi beef was normal/good though. Not the worst bibimbap I've had, but could've been better. It was still satisfying, and it came in a good portion. The LA Galbi also wasn't bad, but it was pretty salty / had a bit too much sauce for my liking. Not the best, but also not the worst galbi I've tried. Overall, I had a very satisfying meal here, and I would definitely return if I ever was in the area. The staff really are homely, and everything (the staff, ambiance, food quality and selection) just made for a comfortable dining experience.

We were looking for a quick dinner and came across Kimchi and Wasabi. Really friendly staff, very nice and kind. The food was pretty good. The sushi was enjoyable and the chicken wings were a perfect fry.
