A Korean-run late-night sushi bar on Beverly Blvd that stays open until midnight, filling a real gap in Koreatown's dining scene. The gyoza and chirashi bowls draw repeat customers, while the omakase at around $80 delivers solid value for chef-selected courses in an intimate, no-frills setting. Strongest as a neighborhood spot for fresh, well-priced nigiri and rolls rather than a special-occasion destination.
Must-Try Dishes:
Hanabi Omakase, Premium Chirashi Bowl, Gyoza
What Makes it Special: Late-night Beverly Blvd sushi bar open until midnight with chef-driven omakase and pristine nigiri at neighborhood-friendly prices
