Compiled from 27 blog posts read in fullSources →
A sushi restaurant on the ground floor of SD Tower II at 37 Myeongmul-gil, about a five-minute walk from exit 4 of Sinchon Station. It is the Sinchon branch of a sushi brand that started in Gwangju; one post says it opened on August 20, 2026. At lunch people order the Jeongseong (12,900 won) or Seongchan (14,900 won) sets; at dinner many order the sushi-and-sashimi set (29,900 won) with fried squid legs (9,000 won) and a highball (4,900 won). Every sushi set comes on one tray with chawanmushi, a small udon, tempura and an after-meal tea. You order from a tablet at the table. We read 30 posts dated July 6 to October 14, 2026; 27 describe a visit. Two were about other restaurants and one was a POS installer's case study.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- You order on the tablet at your table — 15 posts say so. Three add that there is also a paper menu for those who'd rather not use the screen, and one writer typed a request for less rice into the kiosk. One post notes you pay at the counter after eating.
- The sushi counter is an open kitchen visible from the dining room — 16 posts mention it, several describing a wave-video LED wall above it. The same 'open kitchen, so you can trust it' line recurs across posts sharing one hashtag set, so it is partly promotional wording.
- Seventeen posts say the room is much bigger than it looks from outside. Tables have high partitions; deeper in there are solo bar seats (one post counts about five) and a group area for eight to ten. Two- and four-tops line the front. Four writers went alone, five with a partner, six with friends, two with family.
- Seven posts describe waiting chairs and a Tabling sign-up machine just inside the door. Only one writer actually waited (a weekend in October 2026, three parties ahead); five walked straight in — weekday lunch, a weekday afternoon, just before a weekend lunch, and a Friday a little after 6 pm, when the room filled by about 7. Three booked on Naver and were seated at once.
1 more
- Nineteen posts call it good value and none call it expensive, pointing to the 12,900 and 14,900 won lunch sets and the 4,900 won highball. One says the sushi-and-sashimi set is pricey by this menu's standards but worth it. Many posts follow one promotional template, so read the count with that in mind (below).

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
19 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 2 (of 27 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 3 of 27 posts |
| Separate restrooms | 1 of 27 posts |
No post says whether there is a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or stroller fits. That means we don't know, not that it's impossible. Two posts note it is on the ground floor.
Three posts say the restroom is inside, at the back; one confirms separate men's and women's rooms. Nobody mentions an accessible restroom.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. 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, 1 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
- Many posts follow one template: the same 'Gwangju, city of flavour' and 'only healthy, safe ingredients' lines, the same ten hashtags, the same parking block and the same order of sushi-sashimi set, squid legs and highball, across September–October 2026. One post discloses sponsorship, one says it was an invitation, two say they paid themselves; the rest say nothing.
- The 3,000 won soju and beer and the free extra nigiri or futomaki were described as an opening promotion in September to early October 2026; we don't know if it is still running.
- Opening hours appear in 23 posts, all copied from listings: 22 say daily 11:00–22:00 with last order at 21:20, one says 11:00–21:00, and none mention a break. Phone numbers split: 02-364-7770 in eight posts, 010-2746-1457 in four. Reservations go through Naver; one post copies a note that same-day booking isn't accepted.
