    Nigiri

    Starting going here about a month ago at least 1x a week. The atmosphere is pleasant with three sitting areas (lower area by the bar and two sections upstairs, one overlooking the bar and the other the street). We have ordered sushi rolls, nigiri, ramen, and other items to try out the menu and nothing disappoints! The service is always on point and we usually are helped by Andrea who is kind and helpful with her honest feedback on the items we are trying out. Out of the 6? or so visits each time we always leave with happy bellies.

    Crab roll , Lion King roll

    Visiting our daughter so decided to try something a bit off campus. We love Korean and Bimibop so…read moreToto's seemed like a good choice. We are a bit spoiled with a local Korean place, but this was pretty good. The Bimibop had nice flavor but wasn't cooked in a stone bowl. The beef rice bowl was good but didn't have a ton of flavor. I added Kimchi which helped. Service was fast and super friendly and prices were very reasonable. Location is adorable!

    I walked here from campus on a rainy day and it was totally worth it. When you walk up you realize…read morehow tiny the place actually is and its kind of endearing. The place is really cozy, I decided to eat outside on the patio as it sprinkled. They also sell some snacks and frozen goods you would find at an Asian grocer. Firstly, the prices here are amazing. I spent a little under $20 dollars and I got a large bowl of Jjam-Ppong Ramen and Bugolgi Kimbap. It also came with a side of Kimchi and Macaroni Salad. The food came out relatively quick despite there being maybe one staff member there at the time. The Jjam-Ppong Ramen was great! The noodles had the perfect amount of chew and there was a decent amount of seafood in the dish considering it was only about $9. It was also the perfect amount of spice, I think even those who don't like spicy food could manage with this one. The Kimbap was also really good and had refreshing flavor with the pickles and veggies. The cheese was a nice addition. Overall I totally recommend this place. The quality for the price is amazing here, and the atmosphere is cute as well. One of my favorites in Bloomington.

    Somewhat formulaic, largely Korean-based "fusion" foods. Bibimbap was good, and their sauces are…read moregood. Tried a few other items, and their sushi-substitute was deemed...OK. Service was very good. It's a bit expensive here for the Seoul street foods presented. Is it "Asian Fusion"? We thought.... not. Still very good, fresh, good ingredients, and fast thoughtful service. Good.... but will they survive on the tough Bloomington 4th St Restaurant Row? We couldn't decide. It's a tough street. The K-Pop music was OK. It's a good place for a date if you have budget, we decided.

    After four years in college, I discovered this place a few weeks before graduation. 18 months later…read moreand was finally able to come back. We started with the ttuk kko chi which were rice cakes covered in a gochujang sauce. The cakes were crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. The sauce it was in was amazing, balancing the heat from the gochujang with some sweetness. Next, we got the Korean fried chicken (they were out of KFC wings). I remember the sauce being a little more red last time, but it was still good. Super crispy exterior and no excess batter so we just tasted the juicy chicken. The two entrees we got were the spicy chicken and jaeyuk. The spicy chicken was flavorful and tender. Along with the chicken, the veggies were stir fried nicely and coated in the broth. The jaeyuk was a little better with the pork having a great marinade and also being super tender. On top of the food we ordered, we were given a salad, soup, and rice which were all nice accompaniments. This was the meal I was looking forward to the most in my return and it did not disappoint. The only and I mean only thing to change is having bigger napkins on the table. Everything else is great and most importantly all the food is delicious.

We think sushi bar is the best sushi in Bloomington and their prices are amazing. I bring my family from Chicago here every time they visit and it's always a hit. Excellent lunch menu as well. The sweet potato roll is one of my favorites for a crunchy roll.

    Good for casual Japanese dining. The restaurant is nicely designed (you can tell when you walk in…read moreit's a sushi restaurant) and I was seated in a cool semi-private booth. I thought the country music threw off the vibe a little. The staff were very polite. I would say the pace of service was leisurely but not nearly as slow as I had feared given some of the reviews. If anything, I had to wait a while to order after I was seated, but my food came out in a totally reasonable amount of time after that. I had the unaju and tempura ice cream. The salad that came with the meal was very basic, but the unaju was good. The eel was very flaky. The daikon tasted a little funny to me though. The presentation in the box was very nice. I really liked the tempura ice cream too. I've only had tempura ice cream once before, and this was a little different with a coating that was less crispy and more cakey. It was big, with two very generous scoops of ice cream. Good size for sharing. I felt like everything was worth the price and I would eat here again.
