It's Japanese. It's
Korean. It's both, yet the Korean gets completely short-changed on
the awning. It's a shame folks walking by won't know that there's
rotting cabbage and weird candied minnows inside. It's not as if the
Japanese food is really worth the visit either. The sushi is merely
passable, and the chicken teriyaki is not even as good as the Go
Sushi down the street. The Korean beef is not bad actually, but
isn't something I'd eat on a regular basis. I honestly don't understand
people who eat a lot of beef during the week--especially for lunch.
Beef should be for dinners on Fridays and weekends, dammit. All of
my cockamamie opinions about beef aside, I like what they've done
with this place. It's decorated like some sort of Japanese hut or
something. Okay, it's decorated like a half-assed Japanese hut, which
means they put some bamboo and fronds on the counter and spread around
some other random junk to spiff up what would otherwise be another
dreadfully depressing 9th Avenue space. I can't help but think of
Kojak when I think of this place, but there certainly isn't some giant-headed
bald dude sucking on a lollipop working here that I'm aware of. They
could certainly use Telly as a draw (even though he's been dead for
over ten years), as I've never seen more than one person in this place
at one time. Always a bad sign, if you ask us. [MF]
