I found a restaurant that had delicious basic snacks!! I'm really happy that raw fish can be this fresh in the middle of Seoul!!! I was surprised that the mackerel sushi wasn't fishy at all and was so delicious!!

3rd visit💓 Long live Kotoru long live long live. Assorted sashimi, maranabe, jagamochi, and highballs are all crazy. They're so delicious. The high-quality sashimi melts in your mouth, and the maranabe is full of meat that doesn't have the slightest smell.😍 Jagamochi is a chewy potato bread(?) with pollack roe inside. Eat it for dessert. I know!!!! Well, the boss's special sauces are really good. Even the heater in the bathroom was turned on, so it was so warm and clean that I almost fell asleep. Amtun!! Please keep it going for a long, long, long time. The 4th is coming soon ❤️‍🔥

I went out with a friend and wanted to go to an izakaya, so I looked for it and saw good reviews, so I came here and the atmosphere was really good. It's close to my house, so I always saw it closed during the day, but I think I'll use it often from now on. The owner's recipe here is really delicious. Please sell it to me for money. 👀❤️

I like mackerel stick sushi, and this place does it really well. The mackerel is savory without a fishy smell, and the rice is not overly seasoned and moist, so it just complements the taste of the fish. Each piece is reasonably large and has a good chew. If you add the ginger/wasabi that comes with it, you can keep going without feeling greasy. The rolls are also full of ingredients (salmon/eggs/mushrooms, etc.), so they have a variety of textures and a satisfying bite. Overall, it's clean and the quality is solid, so I'll go there again next time. It's so delicious that I came here and ate it alone on a weekday. Thank you so much for making my mouth happy with such delicious food. ㅠㅠ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Please keep doing business for a long time.

I’m making delicious and happy memories on my first visit to Dongjak-gu! Yakisoba goes really well with a maturing party. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly, so I had a great time :)

The yakisoba is very generous and delicious. I ordered it as a representative dish and I am very satisfied!
