``Located at the edge of Koreatown, Los Angeles, in a mini-mall, this sushi bar appears to be run and patronized almost exclusively by Koreans. It's very good. This is the only sushi establishment you may find anywhere that does not have the word `sushi' plastered all over the outside. The magic word is nowhere to be found on the outside! Only the words `Japanese restaurant.'

``Heaping, chirashi-like bowls of raw fish on rice, in various presentations, appear to be of significant interest to many customers. But all the standard favorites are there. Freshness, from yellowtail to albacore to uni, is excellent, with prices only slightly above par.

``Green tea consists of loose leaves and some other herbal-type supplemental things floating around in it.

``A very tight, conservative, yet innovative operation. Would go again just to try something new. You won't be disappointed. ''
