Not too expensive, easily accessible, delicious and healthy, that's what owners of Seoul Sushi, Jin and Brian Jeon, want customers to experience when they walk into their Korean fusion, sushi takeout location at 4775 Joyce Avenue.
Seoul Sushi was an Upper Coast People's Choice 2023 winner in the Lunch On the Run category and continues to be a popular takeout option for people in a hurry.
The Tuna Kimbap and Bulgogi (marinated beef) Kimbap are two items on the menu made Korean style. Kimbap is a Korean dish made from cooked rice, vegetables, fish or meat rolled in dried sheets of seaweed and eaten in bite-sized pieces. In both there are pickled burdock and pickled radish that give the rolls a delicious kick.
They also have the more familiar sushi rolls, such as the California, dynamite, yam and avocado rolls.
Jin and Brian officially took over Seoul Sushi on May 1 and are expanding their offerings.
"I started making traditional Korean kimchi," said Jin. "I was surprised that so many people like it. We are also using more technology to make our rolls and tempura, and we want to start making Korean fried chicken soon."
Jin said their main goal is to offer folks something different to eat, at a low price, but delicious and convenient at the same time.
"We are making fresh vegetable and prawn tempura now, plus a Korean dumpling called mandu-guk," added Jin. "We started making seaweed salad to go as well."
Jin estimates between 150 and 200 people stop by Seoul Sushi most days. The cooler on the right-hand side of the shop has boxes of ready-to-go, Korean-style sushi rolls, jars of kimchi and seaweed salad for take-away.
