I can definitely see why people are raving about this pretty new Japanese restaurant! My boyfriend came here with his friends and liked it so much, he decided to bring his family and me back again a few days later. Ambience: The restaurant itself is quite small, so apparently there is usually a long wait in order to be seated. They also dont accept reservations after 7 PM or so either, which is quite fair. And this place is quite popular among the younger crowd who dont seem to mind the hour or so wait that might occur. There isnt a parking lot either - besides street parking - or in the lot next door (which technically is a part of the farmers market). We were lucky and were able to be seated in a private room. The pictures on the wall and the furniture all were very nice, but the food is the focal point of this review! Food: People mainly come here for the uni bowl, which I think is a part of their sashimi deals. We ordered two large sashimi platters. Because they are a Korean owned restaurant, they served a lot of unique small dishes that included snails, kimchi, seaweed, shrimp, pancake, etc. The sashimi platter was enormous and had so many slices of fresh fish on it - salmon, yellowtail, albacore, lobster tail ... I cant eat fish, but I did taste the salmon and lobster tail, and both were amazing. Salmon was soft, succulent and overall smooth. But the best part of the meal was indeed the uni bowl. Each person had their own individual uni shell that had sticky rice, seaweed, uni, fish egg, and picked radish. The sticky rice had good flavor, so when mixed with everything else (along with the sesame and seaweed), had incredible flavor that made me want to keep eating even though I was already pretty full. After the uni bowl, they take the lobster (which is placed in front of you on the platter while it is slowly dying ... poor guy) to make into a lobster soup. Definitely hit the spot after a pretty full meal. And on top of that - vanilla ice cream to be served at the end! Service: was amazing. Everybody was courteous and really nice. They stopped by often to make sure we were okay, and I felt like they were constantly bringing us food. Even though I couldnt eat a lot of the food that was served, I felt pretty full by the end! tl;dr - I would DEFINITELY recommend this restaurant, especially if you are a fan of sushi or uni. Fresh fish, great quality, large quantity at a pretty good price! Just try to go early .. or if you dont mind, come with people you can chat with while waiting for a table. Definitely will come back to try that uni bowl again!

LOVE MAN SUNS! I was finally able to try their uni bowls and I really wanted to get the large ($15), but they ran out :[ However, they were going to let me have two small ones for the same price (originally $9 each), but I decided to just get a small one to try and leave room for all the other delicious fish on the menu. I was a little confused at first because, of course, I yelped this place before coming here and there were certain rolls that I saw in their pictures that were either not offered or not made the same way. It just depends on which sushi chef is working that day. Also, another turn off was that they gave us a menu, but it didnt have ANY rolls on it until I had to ask our server and then he brought out another menu. Last turn off was that when I asked our server what each sashimi platter came with and he told me it was just up to the chef that day.... mmmkay. I ended up ordering a small uni bowl, lobster roll, salmon crunch roll, and a sashimi platter. Thankfully, everything was great so I will forgive all the weird/mysterious ordering at the beginning of the dinner. Side notes: -Small parking. You can try to find parking on the street as well, but I just parked at the lot next to it and nothing happened to my car. Wooooo -Uni bowl isnt on the menu so youll just have to ask for it. -This place is Korean owned so you also get ban chan (side dishes)! Best of both worlds :)

I can see the hype of this place. Its located in DB/Walnut. It serves live fish and urchin (which is REALLY sad cuz you see the food moving). It has fresh sashimi. FOOD: I ordered the Man Sun dinner. 1. The sashimi was great. It was fresh. 2. The roll was standard. They ran out of tuna rolls so I got the California roll. 3. They forgot my salad... and then it took awhile but the salad was average. Its just a salad. 4. The tempura was good. 5. Green tea ice cream is always good. 6. Albacore roll: Meh, this didnt seem so fresh compared to the other sashimi. I was slightly disappointed. 7. The Lobster roll was pretty good except they skim you on the lobster. SERVICE: SUPER SLOW. Good luck getting water. Sometimes we had to remind them we were waiting on food. The place does always seem busy. AMBIANCE: Small hole in the wall NOTE: The urchin bowl - the urchin is still alive while youre eating it so youre basically killing it by eating it ALIVE. My husband said it was ok. I was so upset with him. There is also a live sashini - where the lobster/crab is still alive while youre eating it. Its really sad. PARKING: Free Parking lot or street OVERALL: Meh, pass.

very disappointed of last night celebrated my husband birthday. food terrible overprice.fish soup ...bones in the fish you got to eat slow or else your trouble in your throat.when the guy saw the tip he was being kind nice looking at the tip if i will change or not but my son n me really not happy giving him a tip .he does not deserve to have that, but bec of my husband who is always generous to give tip more than the allotment ok fine.never go there if you are not with their color .all i taught is authentic japanese but they are korean food.seems like got rip off. all i taught its nice last time i went with friend 2 years ago.never again will go there.

Order the sushi combination for 100 usd, but call first to make sure they have lobster before going to the resto. The 100 usd is food thats good for up to 4 people. Service is good. Sushi is fresh. The dishes from the 100 usd is abundant and they keep serving small dishes, uni rice, fish, soup, and all others depending on whats available. Its worth it!

미국에서 맛본 한국횟집! 가격도 싸고 맛도있고 사장님이 주신 서비스까지 배불리 맛있게 먹고갔네요. 회도 맛있고 무엇보다 urchin bowl 너무 맛있게 먹었네요.

Japanese food with a hint of Korean hospitality so whatever you order will come assorted ban-chans as side dishes. Lunch combos are pretty good. Highly recommend the sashimi salad. Owners are really nice and will take time to talk to customers if the restaurant isnt busy.

Worst sushi I ever had. Terrible service. Ignored most of the night. The fish tasted bad. The sweet potatoes tempura was not fully cooked. Sad. Avoid this place.
