Confused, was looking for korean restraunt and there was lots of pics and reviews of Korean food. They had two things on the menu, korean short ribs and bugolgie beef. Both great but no kimchi or bimbop. Find out new owners, new menu. Needs to be relisted. Good food just not much korean anymore.

Hours are not accurate. Came here at 12:00 P.M. on Tuesday and the store was closed. Google says it's open until 8:30 P.M. Update your hours, please.

Very delicious sushi and rolls, great service

This restaurant in just down from a family members place, so we thought we could give it a try. The first time we went it was pretty good. Enough so that we chose to try it again a few months later.Our last experience (in early April) was a bit of a fail all-around. Once we were finally greeted by our server, we ordered several items straight out of the gate. First the garlic edamame as an appetizer, along with miso soup. The miso soup showed up in about 5 minutes, along with a few sushi dishes we ordered about 10 minutes later.It was a bit of a chore for the staff to keep our water glasses full. Funny enough, I had asked for a carafe or an extra glass from the start but our server instead asked if I wanted a straw? I think she missed the point that I was trying to make her job easier, but I digress.As soon as our food came. these fruit flies came out of nowhere. I saw them in the restroom but didn't think much of it. Now those same bugs were buzzing around, landing on our food. When I said something to one of the young ladies, she simply replied "yeah they came early this year, normally they don't show up until summer. It must be the weather". Like really? Your a restaurant in California, not Costa Rica. There are easy ways to avoid bugs taking over your inside eating establishments.About 30 minutes after sitting down we were wrapping things up. All of a sudden the gentleman that works the front dropped off our garlic edamame. Now by this time we wrote it off and figured the server simply forgot to order them. A few minutes later our actual server finally stops back by to check in on us. She asked if we were good. I gestured to the edamame and said we actually ordered these as an appetizer, not a dessert. She simply replied "yeah, I think the kitchen was back up". Not 'do you till want them?' or ' our bad, it's on us'. Anything besides passing the buck in true millennial fashion.Based on this experience it will be our last. It's really unfortunate a local restaurant in such a tight nit community would be so disconnected from decent customer service. If you don't love your job, do something else. For a $50 tab most expect better than this, we definitely do. Save your time, your money, and your patience. I am giving 2 stars because the food is actually good. But what's that worth if the ambiance and service is off, and you're sharing your meal with the uninvited guests of the flying type.

Nice atmosphere, good food. Everything was fresh and tasted great!

Tasty and fresh with great presentation??

I used to love this restaurant and would frequent it as I believe in supporting local businesses. However, their service has gone downhill in recent months. Prior to posting this review, I called the restaurant twice to speak to the manager and provide feedback on the service but the manager was not available each time and I never got a call back. That tells me they have no interest in hearing from a customer or improving their service. One major reason why restaurants fail is due to their lack of customer service.

Nice Ambiente and also the sushi was very good. Unfortunately we had to wait 20 minutes for our dessert (mochi). The taste of the dessert was like from the supermarket...

Tasty food, nice vibe and Nate was a great waiter.

Not sure what happened with this place… Two rolls ordered on Door Dash, and both of them tasted waaaayyyy too fishy. The Halo Roll and the Citron Roll — one is tuna and one is salmon — both VERY fishy, definitely not fresh. The other food was good… Tempura platter and Gyoza. Called to inquire, and the voice mail picked up to say they were closed on Christmas Day. Hmmm, it’s November 2nd. They haven’t updated their after hours greeting for 10 months — that might be a clue.
