8th Street Live Fish Cuisine

This place is now called «Yuki No Hana»
They changed the interior and everything.
Check it out at the following link.

Expensive, good customer service, pretty small portions. But I had fun with my friends. Probably wouldn’t recommend to my other friends who really like good sashimi

Came here with my wife for her birthday and the Sushi chef treated us to a bottle of strawberry wine as well as made a cake out of tuna. Great place, great food, thank you very much… and our two little ones loved the abalone porridge, etc.

Dunno what everyone was complaining about in previous posts… place was mouth watering delicious!!!

When I want Korean sashimi, I come here. It’s small, homey, and the owner is super friendly and often greets his customers at the tables. It’s reasonably priced, the fish is fresh, and the cooked food is quite decent.
Like all Korean sashimi places, ordering is easy. Small is $ 69.99, Medium is $ 89.99, Large is $ 119.99, and Special Large is $ 149.99. You pick according to the size of your party and on your hunger level and they will take care of the rest. If you’re not sure, ask your server. They will steer you the right way. For every combo, you get a choice of halibut sashimi (Koreans love halibut) or combo sashimi (I chose combo to break the monotony) along with a spicy fish stew. Then they will give you loads of side dishes which vary depending on the day… grilled mackerel, onion pancake, steamed egg, mussel soup, and some «banchan» to name a few. You will also get some extra sashimi that is only common in Korean places… sea squirt, baby octopus, and raw sea worms! Uni (sea urchin) and live abalone are always a welcome treat.
Hungry yet?

We ordered the combo which led to one crazy dish after another, including:
— Side dishes: sea snails, edamame, vegetables, egg soufflé, ROASTED GARLIC GALORE.
— Raw abalone
— Raw sea squirt
— Korean vegetable pancakes
— Sashimi platter, including halibut, tuna, salmon, uni.
— Uni in an enormous shell. Not a huge uni fan but the presentation was cool.
— Soup and a couple of other side dishes towards the end.
This place serves up fish, but it seems like they’re more quantity over quality. About half the sashimi pieces still had the ice crystal crunch, and none of the actual fish seemed fresh. The side dishes were very authentic and legit, but that’s not saying much when your restaurant’s name boasts «live fish.»

My dinner partner swore by this place. I should’ve known better.
This place has the worst sashimi ever. Their uni came out of the shell (which is cool) but it was warm and had some weird white sauce on it with sesame seeds. It’s tasted funky and NOT fresh.
They serve way less than the other korean sashimi places. this place is def. a hole in the wall and the quality is poor.
It was empty when we arrived and when we left, there were only 2 other tables. and both tables were of old korean men who looked like their wives had left them and this was the only sushi place they could afford.
Just saying…

One of best korean style sashimi restaurants I’ve been to. Great service, fresh fish, yummy side dishes and the place is really cute and cozy. The owner is super nice. Will definitely come back! Oh and big parking lot in the back on Berendo.

Before this place opened, it was a Latin American restaurant for a minute, which I never tried.
Based on the name of the restaurant, I already knew what the restaurant was going to be like. It is one of those restaurants that bring out different courses of seafood — mainly raw seafood.
My friends and I ordered the small combination platter — $ 94.99 and it came with the following:
1. A plate of halibut sashimi –it was fresh and delicious;
2. Raw Abalone — i love abalone, but way too small;
3. Raw sea squirt; — an acquired taste;
4. 3 oysters — didn’t eat it;
5. 3 spicy tuna handrolls — gross, whatever they used to make it «spicy», they need to stop and figure it out;
6. Egg casserole — yummy;
7. Mussels soup — kind of bland;
8. some kind of raw intestine/​organ — did not look very appetizing so I did not eat it;
9. 3 pieces of seared ahi tuna;
10. Raw eel — yummy;
11. Small wooden plate of sea urchin — not as fresh as I’ve had before at a different establishment;
12. Bowl of spicy fish soup — delicious;
13. Rice;
14. Some kind of pumpkin/​yam pudding;
15. Choice of one beer or soju; and
16. A few other dishes not worth mentioning.
One thing that definitely bothered me was that they serve raw foods, but it was hot as sh*t in there bc of the lighting and it didn’t seem like there was any air conditioning in the establishment. I never like eating raw seafood and drinking alcohol in hot establishments — it does not make me a happy eater/​drinker and makes me über uncomfortable.
I would suggest that when they bring out the different courses, to not bring them out all at once or so quickly. They should give us some time to enjoy a few dishes at a time and not overwhelm us with so much food at once.
I see a lot of these kinds of restaurants opening up on Ktown, and I think it is definitely worth it if your party has 3 – 4 people.
The food overall was okay, and this type of cuisine is something that everyone needs to try at least once.
