Plenty of side dishes.
Quality of the sashimi was alright; but I have been spoiled my dad’s own sliced-​at-​home fresh sashimi =P
General feel of the restaurant is a bit noisy & disordered (in hindsight, I guess it’s a bit like the marketplace in rural areas of Korea)
Nice enough service
Valet parking

Quality and quantity of food for the price rocked
The side dishes were great
Service was less than stellar

I’ve been here a couple of other times with my boss. This last time we went the service was very slow. There was actually a point where there was no more food left on our table; a big no-​no in a Korean restaurant. One the people at our table said in Korean to our waiter, «Can I have something to eat!».
The food is here great and the staff isn’t that bad when you finally get a hold of them. It seems they are trying to keep staff at a bare minimum to save money. I’m not sure how that will work out since my boss said he’d never come back after the service we had last night and the dining room was the emptiest I’ve ever seen it.
We had the sashimi platter and it was great. We also had oysters, sea squirt (I think that’s what it was), and spicy fish soup. Everything was delicious except for the sea squirt, but that’s just my preference. Everyone else liked it.
Ja Gal Chi, how about you hire more severs. With more servers you customers will be served faster and the servers will have better attitudes since they aren’t being overworked to death. Also, a sign with some English might help to. The only reason I went here is because my Korean boss took us. Unless you don’t want whitey in there and that’s fine. It’s your prerogative.
Short Version: Good food; Bad service

I ate at a fish market in Pusan, a coastal resort city in South Korea. You picked your fish while it was still alive and then sliced it for you fresh. So the name of this new Korean sashimi restaurant is named after the same place in Korea.
It’s brand new. The actual address is 400 S. Western Ave, LA 90 020 and the phone is 213−388−0061. It’s on the southeast corner of 4^th and Western. The sign is in Korean and it used to be a place called Club Cool. It was definitely a cool experience. I went with a total of seven people. We ordered the $ 99 combination which included 12 things… an incredible amount of halibut sashimi, salad, clam, cooked fish (thin and about ten inches long, like a giant sardine) mussel soup, kimchi, radish, tempura, lettuce wraps and other stuff that I don’t remember. But it was a raw seafood feast. In addition to the combo, we ordered oysters (good but not great), octopus (it was sliced and still moving on the plate and in your mouth) and cooked eel. You could use soy and wasabi, a spicy sweet, red Korean sauce or a sweet, sesame oil based sauce. The meal ends with a bowl of white rice or rice soup (norangji) and a spicy seafood soup. It really hit the spot.
I remember turning to my girlfriend during the meal and commenting that this meal would cost over $ 700 in a Japanese restaurant.
Was a fun experience here in Ktown. Go with 6 – 8 people and enjoy.
