What makes it special: Dual AYCE format combining sushi and Korean BBQ at bargain pricing
Who should go: Budget groups wanting maximum variety and quantity over refinement
When to visit: Early dinner before the rush, closed Mondays
What to order: Balance between grilled meats and sushi rolls strategically
Insider tip: No more free water bottles - drinks sold separately as of 2024
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking challenging in Koreatown - metered spots ($2/hr until 8pm), multiple paid lots within 2 blocks ($5-8 flat rate)
Dress code: Casual wear perfect - expect BBQ smoke smell, wear clothes you don't mind getting smoky
Noise level: Loud and energetic - communal dining energy makes intimate conversation difficult
Weekend wait: 60-90 min wait typical Friday/Saturday 7-9pm, reservations strongly recommended
Weekday lunch: Minimal wait, usually seated within 10 minutes
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited - vegetable sushi rolls and grilled vegetables available but AYCE model less valuable
Vegan options: Very limited - cucumber rolls, avocado rolls, and plain vegetable sides only
Gluten-free options: Challenging - shared grills, soy sauce throughout, no dedicated prep area
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Skip it for first dates - loud atmosphere kills conversation, BBQ smoke clings to clothes, and communal AYCE vibe is better for established relationships or groups
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weekday lunch/early dinner (before 6pm) usually fine. Weekends or after 7pm expect 60+ min waits - call ahead or use Yelp waitlist feature
Is it kid-friendly? Great for kids 8+ who eat enough to justify the price - younger kids pay full AYCE rate but may not eat $25 worth, making it poor value. Hot grills require supervision
How long can we stay? 90-minute time limit during peak hours (enforced on weekends), more relaxed during off-peak - plan accordingly
What's the catch with $25 AYCE? Quality is basic (no premium fish), drinks cost extra now, limited selection compared to higher-end AYCE spots, and there's often a 2-hour minimum table charge during peak times
Best For
Better for: Unbeatable value for hungry groups prioritizing quantity - best bang-for-buck in Koreatown when feeding 4+ people who actually eat a lot. Late-night option when most places are closed.
Skip if: You want quality over quantity, intimate conversation setting, premium fish selection, or you're dining solo/as couple (per-person pricing makes it expensive for light eaters). Choose Gen BBQ or Chubby Cattle for better quality at $35-40 range.
