Very reasonable price. The overall quality is good, although can not match to high-end restaurant, the price is much cheaper. The lunch set cost 660-1100. The staff were friendly for foreigners.

I dont understand why the rating here is relatively low on Google Maps. This restaurant is amazing! Staff is very friendly, there is English & Korean menu. Sushis are fresh and thick. The seaweed used for temaki(?) is really tasty too, i forgot how many temakis we ordered. (The seaweed roll type sushi) The warm green tea served comes in a cermaic mug, maintaining the green tea warmth. There are about 3 sushi masters(?) making sushi. It felt like I was in a Japanese cuisine movie. Four people (all adults) dined here at lunch and only paid 8000yen. (We ate A LOT and ordered expensive dishes like ‘toro’) At lunchtime, there is a lunch special priced at 660yen for 8 pieces of sushi! (OMG!) + miso soup is even included in that lunch set.
