I stopped by for an impromptu lunch and was seated quickly. I ordered the tempura udon, which was delicious and generously portioned. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a pleasant experience!

Got Teriyaki lunch for my husband and I the food was really good For a reasonable price. Dined inside for lunch . The service was great and the restaurant was clean. Our server was very nice and greeted us immediately when we came through ...

The Buljokbal was great had to add rice and kimchee as side orders we got upgraded to a garlic butter cream fries more like garlic cheese we had some sushi and it was ok but the Korean was on point

Great food. Attentive and polite service. Not so bad atmosphere despite its location. ...

Great experienceamazing service food. My husband and I always talk about coming back to this spot! Sooooo good! Highly recommend 1010 for sure.

Had a wonderful Soju night with friends! It used to be a great sushi place, and transformed to a fun soju place with delicious food. While the sushi remains topnotch, the addition of Soju and tapas has elevated the experience to new heights. A definite mustvisit for a lively and delicious night out. Highly recommended!

My husband and I had a dinner at this restaurant. Their sushi man Soogii made us super testy sushi rolls. We will definitely come back to this place.

This unassuming Japanese and Korean restaurant has some of the best, fresh, and affordable sashimi you will find in the area. ...
