We had dinner here a week ago based on recommendations from our friends (4 of us total). I had been here years ago (pre-Covid). Our friends recommended we have one of the offered combos. In addition to a lot of banchans (side dishes) and small appetizer portioned starters, the combo included: Sashimi (halibut) - 4.5/5: I'm not a huge fan of halibut sashimi (or sushi) as I think it generally lacks flavor. That said, this was very good and probably one of the best I've ever had. Spicy Monkfish Casserole - 5/5: One of the best versions I've had. Definitely spicy but not overly so. Bok (pufferfish) Soup - 4.5/5: Very "refreshing" and really flavorful. At the end of the meal, they will make a complimentary fried rice for you. This was absolutely delicious (5/5) as well. Overall, we were all very satisfied and full. Compared to other restaurants, a relative bargain as well.

Food is fresh & delicious+ quantity is plenty! The ladies are sweet and attentive I went twice in recent months and both times were great. They serve fresh true grated Wasabi. Don't even have to request it! Not even some sushi joints have that! Impressed for sure Parking is valet and $3 The neighborhood isn't the best but definitely worth going for the food!

Nice steamed monkfish and monkfish soup combo. Clean taste! Authentic Korean flavors. Nice side dishes too.

Not a fan of fish, especially ugly fish. However, I enjoyed dining here. The monk fish was tasty. First, I was wary being in this part of neighborhood. You would never know this restaurant would exist here but has been running business for several decades and still going strong. The set menu of halibut sashimi came with numerous side dishes, spicy fish and fish soup. The waitress recommended us to have the clear soup instead of spicy and it was delectable. The spicy fish platter was spicy but had a lot of flavor from spice and herbs. Hardly any work to pick out fish bones. The meal ended with waitress mixing rice in little bit of soup left over with seaweed, and sesame oil. That was good. Will definitely return when weather is cooler.

I've been coming here for years and taste is consistent. We ordered the halibut combo, which was started by the appetizers: pajeon, steamed egg, and side dishes. The main entrees were the halibut sashimi along with agujjim. Followed by the fried fish and agu. Finish the meal with a seafood stew with red chili and tons of garlic. Once there's a little bit of broth remaining, the server comes and makes fried rice and adds seaweed and chopped water celery. There's a huge parking lot for the restaurant. Not sure if there are valet attendants anymore.

Food is 4 stars Atmosphere and service is 3 We had spicy pork bulgogi This was accompanied by two large cold beers to compliment the hot lava spice heat !!

Great tasting food and fresh seafood. I liked how they had so many different ways to prepare the fish. I highly recommend the combo meals to get a good variety of seafood. Very generous portions, good service, and delicious.

Came on a Friday night, dinner before a comedy show with 3 other people. Read a bunch of reviews and wanted to give this place a try. As an intro, this restaurant is everything monkfish. Numerous courses of monkfish cooked in different ways. We ordered the Combo A. The combo menu is in korean so we had to ask the waiter what it included. He was nice enough to show us photos of the items. First came all the sides including the banchan, steamed eggs, veggies pancakes, scallops. Everything tasted good. I liked the scallops. Then came the monkfish sashimi. That was fresh. Monkfish sashimi has more of red snapper feel in my opinion. Then came the fried monkfish whole. That was very tasty and crispy. Fried monkfish (in fish and chip style) served with sweet and sour sauce. The sauce was a bit too sour for me. Monkfish stir fried with bean sprouts. I wasn't a fan of this dish. Just way too much bean sprouts and this weird tasting round thing that tasted like medicine. Last was the soup which we opted upgrading to the puffer fish soup. They cook the soup at the table. That was good too not too fishy. We were running a bit late for the comedy show so we asked for the check. Which we learned the final final dish is fried rice. They use the remainder of the soup, add purple rice, seaweed and sesame oil and cook it at the table. That was good too but we were full and in a hurry so we took most of the rice togo. Service was good. He explained the menu, brought our food, refilled our waters, and cooked the fried rice. The plus is they have a FREE huge parking lot which is rare in Ktown. I was all monkfished out by the end but definitely worth a try.

This restaurant has been around for many years and one of the few established Korean restaurants in the Westlake neighborhood that is still thriving away from other famous and trendy restaurants. This restaurant may be unknown to the younger generations but at one point a hotbed for Koreans getting their fish and sushi fix. What we ordered: COMBO A - Korean Sole Sashimi (small) + Agu-jjim (Braised Monkfish with Sprouts) + Pufferfish Maeun-tang (Additional $12 for pufferfish upgrade in the red soup) + Agu-tang-soo-uh (Deep-fried monkfish dipped in sweet and sour sauce) + Tsukidashi (Various appetizer selections). Korean sole SASHIMI is my favorite sushi. It is a white meat that has a very similar taste and texture to a halibut. You can eat it raw, dip it in soy sauce and wasabi, or in red chili sauce. Also, there was a live ABALONE was in the center. Braised MONKFISH was excellent as well. Although this dish is made with Korean chili powder, it is not spicy at well. The sprouts were refreshing and complement your taste buds with the fish. There are very few places in Koreatown where you can order PUFFERFISH meat. If improperly served, the tetrodotoxin (poison ) can put people to death. No death at this restaurant, so not to worry. Also, I believe they import the fish, so it is not served live. If you're a fan of fish in a soup, then this serving is right up in your alley. Deep-fried MONKFISH is very much like tempura. It is served with sweet and sour dipping sauce and can be poured on top or dipped individually. There is no wrong way of eating it. I thought it was tasty. Tsukidashi at Korean restaurants is typically add-ons to the sashimi. These APPETIZERS include pickled carrots, ginger, garlic, and escargot. Of course, it's always good to have options aside from ginger. Oh, there was a Korean pancake as well.
