스시상 A one-man Japanese kitchen in a Uiwang side street, known across the county for a futomaki roll cut into eight pieces the size of a fist.

Data as of 2026-09-27 · Published 2026-09-30 · Compiled by Gilpost

Sushisang is a Japanese restaurant on the ground floor of a commercial block in Naeson-dong, Uiwang, about ten minutes' walk from Kaywon University of Art and Design. It faces away from the main road, towards the apartment blocks, across from the Lotte Mart. The menu runs through nigiri, scattered sushi, rice bowls, udon, soba and a spicy fish-roe soup — but people come here for one thing, the futomaki: a fat sushi roll cut into eight, each piece the size of a grown adult's fist. Open 11:30, closed 14:30 to 17:00, shut at 20:30, closed Sundays. There are only about ten tables, and they fill fast at mealtimes. One man runs the kitchen and the room; a writer puts him here well over ten years. The posts we read span September 2025 to September 2026. Of the thirty posts matched to this address we counted twenty-six: one was about a different sushi shop across the way, one carried only another restaurant's check-in, and two were month-long personal diaries in which this place appears once, as a box of futomaki somebody else brought home.

What sets it apart

One piece of this roll is the size of a fist, and not knowing that is how people over-order. A sign on the wall says swallowing a piece whole brings luck; almost nobody manages it — one writer reports even her husband, who is over 100kg, gave up, and several take each piece apart and eat it with a spoon. The same sign offers the workaround: pull out some of the rolled omelette to make the piece smaller, which two writers did. The two end pieces are bigger again, with whole slabs of fish in them. Two say four pieces filled them; several say two people finishing the eight-piece set always feels like overeating. A first visit is better served by the weekday lunch (four pieces and udon) or a single roll — everyone who added the scattered sushi on top of a set says it was too much.
With around ten tables, the answer at mealtimes is to be there when the door opens. Thirteen writers found the room full or a queue outside, and six deliberately arrived at opening — one got there at 11:30 sharp and people were already inside; another says the wait starts at 11:50. A takeaway order phoned in at six on a Friday evening was told to come back in thirty minutes. The wait is not long, though: three writers note this is not a drinking place, so tables turn over and food comes out fast. Only one found no queue at all, before seven on a Wednesday, and even she says the seats were nearly all taken. Tables cannot be booked — one writer asked and was told so.
It is a small room. Eight writers say so; one found it roomier than expected. Four counted the seats and none quite agree: four twos and four fours plus a bar; seven or eight tables; eight to ten; four tables of four plus three bar seats. Six writers note the counter would suit eating alone — and not one of the twenty-six actually came alone. A regular puts it flatly: there is a counter, but she has never seen anyone sitting at it. Several describe an ordinary neighbourhood Japanese room with a lot of wood in it, and four call it cosy. One noticed a large dried fish skeleton hanging from the ceiling; the walls carry the origin-of-ingredients board and the instructions for eating the roll.
Nine writers call it cheap and one says it has got dear. Both are right — the prices went up in the summer of 2026. The roll was ₩20,000 in five posts between October 2025 and June 2026 and ₩22,000 in a September 2026 one; the two-person set went from ₩35,000 to ₩38,000, and the scattered sushi from ₩18,000 to ₩20,000. A customer of seven years writes that it used to be cheaper and wonders aloud what has happened to prices. The cheapest way in is the weekday lunch: ₩12,000 for the nigiri set, ₩14,000 for the roll set, neither available at weekends or holidays and, according to one writer, not for takeaway. Four writers say local vouchers and subsidy cards are accepted, but each names a different scheme. We have not checked which of them still work.
The table is laid before you order. Nine writers describe small plates, a soy dish, a cup, wet wipes, soy sauce, pickled shallots and ginger already waiting, with hot soup and pickled radish and chilli brought over once you order. One notes the radish is flavoured with citron; another was won over by the size of the shallots. The soup is not the usual thing: served in a cup to drink, and tasting strongly of soybean paste rather than the thin broth one writer expected. Water is self-service, cold from a fridge and hot by the door. Takeaway orders get tea instead of the soup — a frequent takeaway customer describes gulping it expecting broth, being startled, and wishing they would put the soup in the bag.
One man cooks and runs the room. Five writers call him kind, and one was genuinely moved: watching him track the floor, sequence the orders and send the food out, she writes, is the first properly professional owner she has seen in a while. One had heard he has been here well over ten years. Others record him explaining how to wrap the sashimi, bringing more rice for a salmon bowl when asked, and quietly giving a bowl of udon to everyone at a table that had ordered a set for two. One writer, though, rates the service 'so-so' — we leave that standing. Another writes her review precisely because he does not seem to do any marketing.
A lot of this is written by locals. Seven writers are on a return visit, among them a customer of seven years who has ordered the same set eight times, a couple who have gone two or three times a month for two years and kept the photographs, and a lifelong Naeson-dong resident who rotates between here and two other neighbourhood places. One simply stops by whenever she wants sushi at home. Two were sent here by Uiwang locals and two came after seeing the roll on Instagram. Twelve first-timers say they will be back. The two-year regular notes that the plain mixed-sashimi order disappeared in November 2025 and now exists only inside a set for two — the menu here shifts.
Takeaway yes, delivery no. One writer states the shop is not on any delivery app and takes orders by phone only (031-423-0975), and that calling twenty to thirty minutes ahead means walking straight out with the bag. Four describe a steady stream of takeaway customers, and one noticed that the bags almost always contain the roll while the tables order the set with nigiri. The weekday lunch specials, according to one writer, cannot be taken away. Another, who normally avoids takeaway sushi because it never travels well, says the thought has never once occurred to her here.

후토마끼24 ate it
futomaki₩20,000 · ₩22,000
The thick roll that closes the sushi: prawn tempura, lean tuna, egg and spring onion
**A sign on the wall says swallowing a piece whole brings luck; almost nobody manages it.** One writer reports that even her husband, who is over 100kg, could not. Several take the roll apart and eat it with a spoon. The same sign offers a way out — pull some of the omelette out to make the piece smaller — and two writers did exactly that. The two end pieces are bigger still, with whole slabs of fish in them. Priced at ₩20,000 from October 2025 through June 2026, and ₩22,000 in a September 2026 post
모둠지라시스시8 ate it
modum jirashi sushi₩18,000 · ₩20,000
Sushi you eat with a spoon: rice under a scatter of eel, octopus, prawn, salmon, tuna, omelette, tofu skin and pickled stem lettuce. A small bowl comes with it so you can serve yourself a portion at a time
One writer describes it as the futomaki taken apart, and another finds it a touch sweeter than the roll. The pieces are cut small enough that one writer thought it would suit a child. Two asked for extra rice and got it. One recommends eating it wrapped in the seaweed sheets
후토마키세트 2인8 ate it
futomaki set₩35,000 set · ₩38,000 set
The roll's eight pieces plus eight pieces of nigiri and two small bowls of udon. The default order for two
The nigiri arrives two each of prawn, salmon, tuna and egg, which one writer notes means nothing to argue over. 'Don't let the number eight fool you — four filled me up,' says one; another finds that two people finishing it always feels like overeating. ₩35,000 in four posts between October 2025 and June 2026, ₩38,000 in two from August and September 2026. There is also a **buckwheat version at ₩37,000** that swaps the udon for cold soba — one writer asked to make that swap on the standard set and was told no, even for a supplement
후토런치 (평일 점심특선)6 ate it
futo lunch₩14,000 lunch
Four pieces of the roll and a bowl of udon. **Weekday lunch only, 11:30 to 2**, not at weekends or on public holidays, and one writer notes it cannot be taken away
Two writers expected four pieces to be too few and were full after them. One recommends it as a solo lunch. Another ordered it rather than the full roll precisely so there would be room to try something else
초밥런치 (평일 점심특선)3 ate it
chobap lunch₩12,000 lunch
Eight pieces of nigiri with a small bowl of rice under fish roe and half a bowl of udon, on the same weekday-lunch window as the roll set
**Writers disagree.** One likes the slightly crisped bottom of the roe rice and the thickness of the fish; another found the fish itself disappointing and suspects the lunch price is the reason. Even that writer was pleased that the wasabi is grated fresh
오늘의 초밥 10p2 ate it
oneur-ui chobap₩13,000
Ten pieces made with whatever came in that day, and the cheapest plate of nigiri here
One writer finds the rice seasoned and sticky and the fish noticeably aged, and adds that although she prefers things mild she liked it — **anyone who wants sushi with some punch will like it more.** Another wished she could eat the fish without the rice, it was cut so thick
광어·연어 초밥 10p2 ate it
gwangeo · yeoneo chobap₩22,000
Ten pieces of flounder, ten of salmon, or five and five
A flounder devotee was delighted by how thickly it was cut; the writer who ordered it half and half found the fish generous and the rice judged right. Two writers note you can also order by the piece — **flounder at ₩4,500 for two, soy-marinated prawn at ₩3,500 each** — and one praises the prawn for being trimmed right down to the tail
지라시 후토세트 2인2 ate it
jirashi futo set₩50,000 set
The scattered sushi and the roll together for two, with udon and fried prawns alongside
Two writers call it too much for two — one adds that they normally eat more than most and still struggled. The udon and prawns that come with it are dismissed as so-so by one writer and praised as good enough to reorder by another. The most expensive thing on the menu is a **sashimi-and-sushi set for two at ₩78,000**; nobody we read ordered it
장어 지라시스시2 ate it
jangeo jirashi sushi₩22,000
Despite the name this is **not the scattered sushi with eel added — it is a grilled-eel rice bowl.** Worth asking before you order
One writer ordered it expecting eel on top of the scattered sushi and was handed a rice bowl instead; her conclusion is to ask when a menu name is ambiguous. She liked it anyway, and rates it decent value if an eel bowl is what you want. Another came back specifically for it and loved it
서더리 곤이탕2 ate it
seodeori gonital₩8,000
A spicy soup of fish trimmings and roe sac. One writer notes it comes with rice
**Two writers, two verdicts.** One found the broth sharp enough to tip rice into and a clean finish after all that sushi; the other calls it shallow, watery and salty at once. **They agree about the roe sac itself** — springy, and the second writer, unimpressed by the broth, still calls it the best she has had
특초밥 12p2 ate it
teuk-chobap
Twelve pieces from the better fish. What is on them shifts from visit to visit
**One regular kept photographs of this place for two years and most of them are this plate**: one dish, she writes, but enough different textures to drink through, and every time she means to order something else she comes back to it. She enjoys that the plate it arrives on changes, and misses the days when the rolled omelette came as a slice of its own rather than on rice. No writer gives a price
사케동1 ate it
sakedon₩13,000
A bowl of rice under salmon. There are separate bowls for mixed sashimi (₩10,000), a premium mixed version, salmon and flounder
The one writer who ordered it found the salmon cut thick, and adds that **when she asked for more rice they brought it**

미니우동13 ate it
mini udon
The small bowl of udon that comes with the sets and the lunch specials. A full-size one is on the menu separately
**Mostly people write about how small it is** — 'one mouthful, honestly pointless' says one — while four argue that after that much rolled sushi a small bowl is exactly right. Several call the taste ordinary in a good way, and two note the broth is not over-salted. One writer, having ordered a two-person set for a larger table, was quietly given a bowl for everyone
새우튀김과 와사비 소스1 ate it
saeu twigim₩6,000
Prawn tempura straight from the fryer with a wasabi sauce; four posts mention mashed potato beside it. One notes: one prawn each
One writer urges you to order them — soft inside with just enough crunch. Another, eating the ones that came with a set, nearly ordered a second plate
연어배꼽구이1 ate it
yeoneo baekkop gui₩10,000
Grilled salmon belly, ordered as something to drink alongside the sushi
Only one of the twenty-six writers — a two-year regular — mentions it at all: soft, rich, and a different thing from the sushi to keep drinking with. The same writer first ate mackerel sashimi and the mixed sashimi plate here, and notes that **as of November 2025 the mixed sashimi is no longer sold on its own, only as part of a set for two.**

Parking

5 posts say you can park; 6 say you cannot. We leave the disagreement standing rather than picking a side.

Posts saying you can park	5 of 26 posts
Posts saying you cannot	6 of 26 posts

There is no car park, and the writers contradict each other for a reason. Six say you cannot park and five say you can — but every one of the five means the road outside, not a car park, and the road is only available at certain hours. One gives them precisely: weekday 11:30–14:00, after 18:00, and all day Saturdays and holidays. Another says weekday lunchtimes are fine and otherwise use the paid lot on the main road. One admits to leaving the car opposite in what she suspects is a no-parking spot. Those who say no walk from a public lot — one gives the one under the motorway, a minute away, at ₩1,700 an hour. The lane is tight: single-file, with few spaces, so you may have to go round again, and one writer advises takeaway customers to arrive exactly at the time they were given. A regular of seven years says parking stresses her out every single visit.

Getting there

Getting inside

Toilet inside	yes 0 · no 1 (of 26 posts read)

Nobody writes about floors or stairs. The registered address is unit 103 and one writer spells out "ground floor", so it is at street level. It sits on the back side of the block, facing the apartment towers rather than the road — two writers place it across from the Lotte Mart, one beside a supermarket opposite the housing estate's lane. Even so, no writer says whether there is a lip at the door or a step up into the room.

We do not know whether you can get in with a wheelchair or a pushchair. None of the twenty-six posts mentions a step, a ramp or a threshold. What we do know is that the room is small — eight writers say so — that it fills at mealtimes, and that the toilet is outside in the building. None of that is encouraging, but it is not grounds for saying no. Nobody who writes about this place came in on wheels.

There is no toilet inside the restaurant. You go out and use the building's, and it is locked with a keypad code. The one writer who mentions it — the only one of the twenty-six — says the building is old, so not clean exactly, but not dirty either. Nobody says where you get the code or whether it is separated by sex. If you plan to sit a while with a drink, ask on the way in.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 28 posts we gathered, 2 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know

One post's opening hours, phone number and parking note belong to a different restaurant entirely. A December 2025 post lists 11:30–22:00, a 15:00–16:30 break, last orders at 14:30 and 21:30, Mondays closed, no weekend break, a 0507 number, parking on site, wi-fi and high chairs. The other twenty-five posts all give 11:30–20:30, a 14:30–17:00 break, Sundays closed and 031-423-0975, and most of them say you cannot park. So we counted none of that post's facts except the plate of sushi she ate. We do not know whether there is wi-fi or a high chair here — not one of the other twenty-five mentions either.
Getting here without a car looks awkward. Only one writer addresses it: there is no station nearby, she says, but the Lotte Mart Uiwang bus stop is a two-minute walk. One other gives thirteen minutes on foot from the art college. The remaining twenty-four either drove — seven say so — or never say how they arrived. Nobody gives a station, a walking time or a bus number, so neither can we. Not one post discloses anything received from the shop, and eight state outright that they paid their own way.
