    Interior
    Sharon L.

    Alas, there's a new restaurant replacing the old Hansol (RIP), and appears to be another promising mom & pops Korean restaurant. The interior is nostalgic for sure - the layout is like that of its predecessor, but much brighter and with fresh coats of paint. My fiance and I came for dinner on a Friday night & were promptly seated. They've only opened fairly recently, but there were a few tables occupied already, and quite a few takeout orders. We ordered our usuals - kimchi stew for the fiance, and yukgaejang for me. Banchan came out shortly after, and we started with 4 but ended up trying 6 by the end of the night. The banchan is definitelty tasty, but the kimchi is not for spice wimps. Trust me when I say, it is SPICY. Our entrees came out not too long after that, and to my liking, each one was piping hot. Perfect for a cold winter night! Portions are pretty big for the price, and they don't skimp on the fixings either. My yukgaejang was perfectly spiced, had a deep beef broth flavor, and was actually less spicy than the kimchi. All the usuals are in there - glass noodles, healthy portion of beef, green onions, egg, and maybe a few pieces of gosari. Kimchi stew flavors were well balanced with good depth, and didn't err or being too sour. Service is friendly & fast. Our banchans never went empty, and our glasses were always filled quickly. The whole dinner was well priced too - $35.91 before tax, and I still had enough of my yukgaejang to take home. Card and cash are both accepted. Definitely worth trying, and a welcome addition to the area. Although I'm still saddened by Hansol closing and the fact that they don't have dakgaejang here, Duk Soo Goong shows a lot of promise. Looking forward to coming back to try other items!

    Sushi rolls

    I got the worst sushi I have ever had here as take out a couple of days ago. They are incredibly cheap with the fish. They were more like rice rolls with a hint of fish. If you are going to sell sushi rolls like this you should not even sell sushi. The eel was especially terrible. They only added a sliver of eel to the role.

    So glad we found this place! Came in after lunchtime on a Sunday and had the best cheonggookjang (extra fermented soybean soup) and haemul kalguksoo (seafood knife cut noodles). The side dishes were fresh and plentiful, and service was friendly. Hope to return soon.

    10/10 recommend for quality Korean food. Reminds me of jipbap and something about home cooking just hits different. Portion sizes are huge, great value.

    Lovely service and great banchan. Ordered the Galbitang and Seolleongtang. Galbitang comes with 3 huge bones and they cut it for you. Meat is fall off the bone, but the broth is slightly too salty. The Seolleongtang broth is milky and tastes amazing with some added salt. Not enough meat in it though!

    Very nice clean place. The food was very fresh and home cooked taste. I finally found a spot with perfectly crispy rice in the bi bim bap. Souls and Mandu were all great. Driest time here and I'll be back.

    On a recent cold and frigid night. My wife and I had a hankering for sushi and sashimi. We were in…read morethe area and based on their stellar reviews were decided to try out Yoi Sushi Japanese. We are very familiar with the area and must have walked passed this neatly tucked away gem without ever noticing it. Our son had mentioned that he and his friends have been going to a sushi place near Asian Jewel, our former dim sum go to place. When we sat down to order, my wife and I were quite impressed by how clean and cozy the restaurant was. Kind of on the small side with a few tables on the ground floor level. The menu offered cooked food as well as fresh sushi. We decided to start with the sushi & sashimi combo. They also offered a sushi or sashimi a la carte menu where you can choose to order by the piece. I believe that if you choose one of their standard menu sushi or sashimi orders and pay with cash, the a la carte price per piece of sushi / sashimi is only $1.35 / piece! Well we were famished and in addition to the sushi & sashimi plate we ordered two rounds of sushi & sashimi a la carte. Their salmon and yellow tail was so fresh and so scrumptious as was the sweet shrimp. The tuna was also very yummy and did not disappoint! When all was said and done we were quite happy with our experience with Yoi Sushi Japanese. I highly recommend Yoi if you're anywhere near Tangram Mall or Asian Jewel and have a hankering for yummy sushi. They also offer cooked food as well as ramen bowls.

    My family's second time here; highly recommend!…read more You get excellent quality sushi for a very reasonable price point. The shrimp tempura roll has the perfect amount of breading and the salmon tastes fresh! The interior is clean and I love the decor. I believe they have an upstairs seating area too. The staff is also very friendly.

    Beautiful space! I came here for an event so there wasn't tables for seating. There was plenty of…read morehors d'oeuvres and champagne and we each had a free drink ticket. There were yellowtail, eel and California rolls. Yellowtail was my favorite. They also had a crab salad with imitation crab and was a kick from siracha. Also they had fried chicken, a jalapeño crab on rice crackers, as well as a dumpling. Everything was yummy so don't mind coming back to try a sit down dinner. Unfortunately too busy to take pics of the food but managed to take pics of the space b4 everyone showed up.

It was three oysters, similar to Crown Shy except I wasn't a huge fan of the flavoring here. The nigiri sauce didn't really elevate the flavor of the oysters much as they're already a slightly salty food and a soy sauce sort of just added more salt to it. I think a bit more kick was needed to enhance the flavor profile. The handroll set was pretty good, I liked the spicy tuna the best, then the salmon and then the yellowtail the least. In order, I'd probably give the spicy tuna a 9/10, salmon 8/10 and yellowtail 7/10. However, the tiramisu was fantastic, one of the best tiramisus I have had, creamy, good notes of coffee flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Our server was also very friendly, she showed us how to properly eat the handrolls which was nice. The place also has a nice vibe to it, very relaxing and not too loud or overly grand.

    My friends have been to this Omakase place a couple of times and they highly recommend it so we…read moredecided to come check it out. It is $165 for a 13 course - it also comes with appetizer and dessert as well. The place is located inside Siam Thai - behind a bookshelf, the vibes are immaculate back there. The chief was so friendly and took his time to explain each dish to us and also took time to chat with us which I thought was really nice especially since I have mainly been to "fast casual" omakase locations recently where they don't really chat with you. There was a good variety of appetizers, fish and dessert. The appetizer options were so unique and the platting was so pretty. The fish options were also very plentiful and I liked the topping that they put on top of each one, the rich was not as warm and soft as I would usually like it but they paired well with the fish. The portion sizes were also pretty large which I thought was nice especially since we were paying about $165 a person. If you are getting sake, they do let you sample the sake before opening the whole bottle. The presentation of the opened sake was also so fancy. Overall - if you want a more traditional omakase experience, I highly recommend checking this place out. The vibes are immaculate and you will have a good time chatting with the chef while enjoying your food!

    The cost of this omakase does not match to the quality provided. For $165 a person for 13 courses,…read moreI would expect a more diverse selection of fish and include fish that are not as common as seen in the fast casual $60-$70 omakase in NYC. Service did match up to the price tag and we were treated well but the fish quality was very mediocre. Some pieces were overly warm and did not taste that fresh. The rice was often falling apart. There were the basic chutoro, salmon, otoro fish but no other fish was unique. There were only 13 courses and it felt that they were reusing ingredients because we had uni and caviar multiple times. One dish was uni, caviar, and white rice which felt like a cop out considering uni was a separate course. I did not need uni 3/13 courses provided as someone who enjoys uni. This place is comparative to those $60-70 omakase but not reflective of $165. I went to Shota Omakase for $195 and the fish quality and selection were more diverse.
