Started off well -- the sukidashi side dishes were enjoyable and we were looking forward to the…read moremeal. Unfortunately, when the halibut sashimi came out, both of us immediately noticed a strong, artificial chemical taste (almost like dish soap). We each tried one piece and politely let a server know, who took the plate back. The owner/chef came to our table visibly angry and immediately questioned us with, "What do you mean it smells like soap?" Despite being caught off guard by his hostility, we calmly explained that it tasted strongly chemical to us. Instead of addressing the concern, he raised his voice and argued that another table had been served cuts from the same fish and didn't complain, so it "didn't make sense." He repeatedly asked, "What do you want me to do with this?" while gesturing at the plate, but refused when we suggested he try a piece from our dish. He emphasized that it hurt his pride as a chef and continued yelling at us at our table for several minutes, which made us extremely uncomfortable. We explained that we had enjoyed the other dishes and would never have sent food back if the issue was minor. We also told him that we're willing to pay for all the other food we enjoyed, but the interaction ended with him angrily telling us to "just pay for the sake and leave." In all my years of dining out, I have never sent food back lightly, and I have never experienced a chef yelling at customers over politely expressing a concern. What could have been a good experience was completely overshadowed by unprofessional and hostile service. Would not return. 해삼전복멍게 포함 스키다시 반찬들은 전반적으로 신선하고 괜찮았어요. 그런데 메인으로 나온 광어회에서 비누/세재같은 맛이 나더라구요. 도저히 삼킬 수 없을 정도로 강한 냄새가 뱉은 다음에도 입 안에 남아있을 정도였어요. 각자 한 점만 먹은 후 서버에게 조심스럽게 말씀드렸고 서버분이 접시를 다시 가져가셨습니다. 이후 사장님/메인셰프님이 직접 오셨는데, 문제를 확인하기보다는 처음부터 화가 난 태도로 "비누 냄새가 난다는 게 무슨 말이냐"며 큰 소리로 따지셨습니다. 같은 생선으로 나간 다른 테이블은 문제가 없었다는 말을 반복하시며 이해할 수 없다고 하셨고, 저희가 직접 한 점 드셔보시라고 했지만 거절하셨습니다. 문제의 원인을 확인하려는 태도보다는 셰프로서의 자존심이 상했다는 점을 강조하셨고, 테이블 옆에서 몇 분간 목소리를 높이며 "이거 어떻게하라는거냐"며 따지셔서 굉장히 불편했습니다. 다른 음식은 다 맛있었고 먹은 음식 값을 내겠다, 그런데 냄새가 나는 회는 먹을 수가 없어 돌려보낸거다 라고 정중하게 말씀드렸지만 결국 "사케 값만 계산하고 가라"면서 역정을 내시더군요. 이런 경험은 처음이라 매우 당황스럽고 황당했네요. 맛의 문제를 떠나 손님 응대 방식이 많이 아쉬웠습니다. 재방문 의사 없습니다.

We got their crab cream croquettes and cheese katsu set. The croquettes were perfectly crispy outside and creamy, fully stuffed inside; served with yummy dipping sauces. The cheese katsu was their signature and oh boy, you could see from the pic how serious the cheese game went. They're also way bigger than I thought!! Went very well with the salad, wakame, and soup.

We ordered seaweed salad, shrimp shu mai, Cilantro Salmon Roll, baked Baby Crawfish roll, house Eel & Avocado roll and Truffle Salmon Blue Crab signature dish. Everything was delicious and fresh, but I would've like a bit more unagi in the eel roll. My favorite was the baked baby crawfish. There was plenty for the 2 of us to enjoy. Service was attentive, friendly and quick, maybe because they weren't too busy at 3pm on Sunday. We were seated in a booth and the lighting was low and felt slightly clandestine, which we both liked. This would be great for a business meeting or after work drinks and starters. They validate parking for 2 hours and the 2nd floor location was easy to find. I look forward to bringing friends here for more private whispers and town gossip over good food. Cheers! "CC"

One of our friend is in a wheelchair, but it was pretty convenient for her to have a seat. We loooved the yubus! Especially the Kingyubu and Onion Mala Kaarage! We ordered a total of 17 yubus, some rolls, and 2 hand rolls. We liked that the yubus have each own distinct flavors, toppings, and sauces. Some were creamy, some were spicy; lemon-y; crunchy. We were surprised by how good they are. Staff were not helpful on getting us seated, they were rather confused too lol. But they did serve correctly. Parking is a lil restricted. Overall 8/10

Definitely a great spot if you appreciate fresh, high-quality fish without having to commit to a super expensive omakase. Would happily come back.

And the best seat in the house is at the bar watching the sushi chefs do their thing, the whole vibe is just great. It's perfect for lunch or a nice date night. I do recommend making a reservation, especially on the weekends. Definitely worth it

Also felt rushed through our courses. Wish they waited for all of us to finish before collecting our plates. Easily found free street parking around the corner so don't have to do valet

What a hidden gem just a few blocks away from the Convention Center and Crypto Arena! We needed a…read morequick dinner after KCON's convention part and before the concert part started, so we looked for a place that's not on Figueroa. We arrived before the restaurant got full at 6 pm and even still, the place was half full, so the servers had their hands full with customers. Our group of three didn't want to be food comatose during the concert, so we split the gyudon ($16.99) and two orders of the chirashi ($25.99 each). Plus, each of us didn't want to choose between the two ourselves, so sharing it amongst us worked out well. It was a good idea because both items hit the spot. The meat in the gyudon was tender and the rice was fragrant. The fish included in the chirashi bowl was pretty fresh. We each got a drink as well (refillable soda at $4) for our caffeine fix. There may be some street parking you can find to dine. There is a parking structure right by, but since I walked from the convention center, not sure how much that'll cost and if Mafia Sushi had a parking structure that they validate for.
