"We always love coming here. Food is always fresh and delicious. Their side dishes are always so good. I love the fish cakes. Always friendly and fast service compared to other restaurants around. You won't be disappointed!"
"Coming from NYC wasn't expecting good sushi in the middle of Florida, no offense intended :(. But right from the door met with a friendly family leaving the restaurant giving us a heads up that the food we were about to eat was really good. Servicer, Lisa, was efficient and friendly. The drinks, sweet tea and hot saki were excellent, the teriyaki entree, fried crab, salads, all delicious. The rolls took some time to wait for, but when they came, you could understand why, so big and so much, have to bag those to go :p. Highly recommend"

"Came here for a friend's birthday (party of 12 - dinner and karaoke). Every staff person was friendly, attentative, and genuinely seemed to care about us having a great time. We started our dinner on the patio. I'm pescatarian, so there were veggie dumplings, veg rice, and plain fries for me, my husband ate the chicken and everything was delicious! The decor is cute and the karaoke was a lot of fun! I'm glad they gave us to-go boxes at the end because there was a lot of food leftover. I'd love to come back here again and try more of the menu."
"This place is great. Very cool ambiance, although small and gets busy fast.The food selection is MASSIVE and has a wide influence of asian foods from Japanese to Chinese to Thai to sushi. What you see online as the menu isn't even close to their entire offering which they present in an iPad with menu photos.The food is excellent. The prices are comparable. The service has always been good. Hot sake is presented in a very unique way which we really enjoy.Overall, this is one of our new favorite spots in Tampa. Definitely give it a try."
"Did I just buy two tubs of cucumber kimchi and a huge tub of kimchi after I ate my lunch....why yes. Yes I did. Because the house made kimchi is SO GOOD - it beats any store bought any day. I think the kimchi alone being too good, speaks volumes for the remainder of the food I enjoyed. The place is very quaint - market like really, but still has the comfort of a Korean convenience store with all the options. Loved the fact that I could purchase and enjoy the pouched beverages "ade", it's like the Asian equivalent of caprisuns but better. So refreshing - especially when their staff gave you a cup of ice with it! Overall I was not expecting the rice bowls and plates to be as large as I got. Usually Korean food can be pricey and you may be full for a few hours - but the portions here are amazinggggg (for a foodie). I had soo much food - I saved the rest for dinner! Their marinated meats were so juicy and flavorful, their Japchae was the best Japchae I've had from a Korean place. I loved the variety the box came with including pickled veggies!!! I'm not from the tampa area but WOW will I be coming back every time to enjoy this Korean gem. So good, so comforting and so worth the cost."

One of my favorite Korean restaurants in the area.It's been a while since I've been here, but I still love it. If you like fatty meat, their Galbi is top notch. I came for lunch and got the Galbi, the Bulgogi and the Kim bob. All are very good. They don't have a lunch menu so you will be getting dinner prices and dinner portions.I find bulgogi can be dry some places, but it was great here. The Galbi was my favorite by far and it comes with a lot of it. It came steaming hot, which was nice. They didn't have fish cakes with the banchan which I was kind of sad about, because I love fish cakes. Otherwise their banchan was pretty standard.Their parking lot was pretty full, but I could find a spot. This place is hard to find, so make sure you are going to the way back of the parking lot. Service was good, we never felt rushed, but I was also able to get the check at about the hour mark so we could go back to work. This won't be a speedy shove it into your lunch break spot, but it is a nice place to have a more leisurely lunch. The place does look almost like you're dining in someone's house. I enjoy this type of atmosphere.

Tsunami sushi is one of my favorite Sushi joints In the brandon / riverview area. I have a few favorites but they are definitely included. One of the rolls that I get frequently is the Volcano Roll. It's so good. I like this place a lot because they are fast and friendly and the food is delicious. Definitely check them out if you are in the mood for some Sushi!

**New owners, new menu**Love the appetizer Kimchi Jeon, all the flavor without the pungent sourness of regular Kimchi. Service is also prompt and everyone will take the time to explain the menu if you have questions. Get the Korean Snack Plate, it has various Korean snacks that change day to day. The chicken wings are also nice and crunchy with sauces you'll enjoy, but get it on the side of you're not sure. Finally, ask about the Soju pairing with their beers... They have Korean and local beers. Explore and enjoy!

Great 25. Pad Thai and 39. Red Curry. We ordered take out and it was available right at the time the staff told us to come. The food was great. Next time I would look to eat at the restaurant as it looked very inviting and cozy.

I came here mostly for the cute little store they have inside with a bunch of amazing Korean snacks. They also have a recommendation for drinks (currently it's the banana milk with the hazelnut coffee - which was delicious). I also tried their new milk and egg dessert waffles which were so good and soft, it was the perfect dessert. The service here is always top notch. They are very quick, catering and nice. I haven't had a chance to try the food yet, but based on the layout of this place I'd recommend you do a pickup order if there's more than two people in your party. There's limited seating inside with about 10 chairs up against a wooden table that's connected to the back wall.

This place popped up on my random Yelp search. It's inside of the Korean market (bonus, you can shop while waiting for your food) it's a little more pricey than K-kitchen but they have fairly large portions with tasty banchans. There is a spot to eat in but most people that ordered took it to go (I did too) Definitely, worth a try. I may go back to try other dishes next time I'm in the area.

No review could do this restaurant justice, as it is truly unique. All of the food is handmade, never frozen, including the hand-trimmed meats. Everything here is exceptional.I mainly come here for the handmade hotteok, which is hand stuffed yeast dough. Griddle fried and filled with gooey cinnamon sugar. So dreamy!

Tried out the new KOGI GRILL on Park Blvd next to MD Market today. It was delicious and a great fast-food option. I had the Bibimbap which was a base of rice loaded with veggies & meat, topped with an egg. My man had the Triple Meat and I LOVED the chicken. I'll definitely get the chicken next time as my beef was a bit chewy. Not a good option for lower carb as everything seems rice based. Overall a delicious and flavorful lunch. I definitely recommend checking it out.

"Our new favorite Korean spot! I love that it's attached to their market so you can shop and eat all in one. I tried the galbi beef and the marinade was delicious and gave the beef a little carmeling flavor. My husband tried the spicy chicken bulgogi and he said it reminded him of his favorites from when he lived in Korea. The kimbap didn't come with a dipping sauce but was tasty as well. We will be going back for sure!"
"I was originally tossed between a 4 and 5 star review due to price. It was the unique Korean offerings and great service that made it a 5 star review. It's a great place to share a meal with family & friends. It was very comforting!We were greeted immediately by Dilara. She was so friendly and helpful throughout the visit. She even gave me a great suggestion on choice of drinks. The Milkis Banana Soda was the perfect fit for me. The restaurant started to get very busy at lunch time, and none of it phased her. She handled it like a pro.We started with the Corn Cheese appetizer. I would have never tried it if my friend had not mentioned it the day before. It was such a great shareable dish. It's delivered all bubbly on a hot plate. It looks almost like Mexican street corn, but it has a totally different flavor profile. It was almost sweet enough to be a dessert. I love that sweet cheese topping!It was a cold day, so we decided to get soup. I went with the Galbitang, and my friend selected the Soft Tofu Stew. It also came out bubbling hot, and served in its own cast iron pot. A very hot pot, so don't touch it. Lol! The rib meat was plentiful. There was a large rib bone in my soup. The meat was so tender, and fell right off the bone. The broth was meaty and full of flavor. There wasn't a whole lot of glass noodles, so I suggest you add the meat dumplings for an extra $5. Otherwise, just add the rice that comes with it. It was perfect with the rice. The banchan sides were also very tasty. I was surprised that the kimchi wasn't overly spicy. I really loved all the different flavors. What's even better is that they don't rely on salt to make it tasty. All the natural flavors of the rich rib meat shined through in the broth. It was a meal to be savored slowly as the broth started cooling off from the hot temperature. You can actually carry on a conversation while enjoying it, and not worry about your soup getting cold. Again, it was a very comfortable & enjoyable experience!We wanted to try the Korean Hotteok for dessert. Unfortunately, they didn't have any that day. I definitely want to go back and try that. I'm also very interested in trying their vegetable ramyun & gimbap lunch combo. There was a Bulgogi Wrap special that also looked very reasonable. They have different specials each month. Everything was great! I could definitely tell that a lot of hard work goes into making each and every dish. This hidden gem deserves multiple return visits. It's very close to the Manatee Viewing Center, so you might as well check it out while you're in the area."
"Update: I went back to try their veggie bowl but they apparently don't have veggies in at all. That was super disappointing. I was able to try the egg on top at least, which was tasty. The guy at checkout was very friendly which helped me get better impression. They still have the sign out front for the dessert shop so I was still sad not to have yummy dessert options, haha. The drink selection was pretty boring. Overall, it's tasty but no real reason to go back at this point, sadly.First off, I'm all about the BOGO for the new Pinellas Park location until the 16th! But also really appreciate the customer service. I accidentally called the owner's personal cell phone number when I was trying to place a takeout order. I guess the website I was trying to order from had the wrong number listed. Once I realized this mistake, I kind of expected the guy would be a little upset that I just interrupted his personal time and assumed he would redirect me to the correct number to call. But instead, he very calmly and patiently asked what my order was and told me it would be ready in about 15 minutes. I really appreciate that added level of customer service!My disappointments were 1) there is still signage from a dessert shop that I guess was there before. I had been falsely really excited for some dessert afterwards! Haha. And 2) they didn't have chopsticks. But I get it, they're a new place and don't always have all the materials.The menu is limited for vegetarians, but I do appreciate that they have a vegetarian option at all. For pescatarians, I was pleased they have salmon and shrimp, though was disappointed that the bowls just literally come with rice, lettuce, protein, and sauce. I must be used to other places where a bowl comes with veggies as well and so kind of had that as my expectation, potentially unfairly. The food itself was pretty tasty though. A bit spicy for my preference but there was definitely good flavor to it. I'd definitely go back and next time I'll add the bibimbap veggies and maybe an egg to try. Glad to have a new place for good food in the area."
"This plaza already had great options and it only got better. Yumsem eats is a welcome addition and a great fit. The staff was friendly, the kimbap fresh, and most importantly delicious. We can't wait to go back to try some of the other options on the menu."
