" Wow! I was blown away by how fresh the seafood was here. It surpasses my expectations completely! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and the staff were super accommodating to our needs. I would absolutely recommend making a reservation given the restaurant's popularity. Definitely will be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're a seafood lover, this is paradise! Hwal A Kwang Jang has such a fantastic array of sashimi selection, and the freshness is unrivaled. I took my friend who’s new to Korean food, and she was absolutely impressed! The combination plates give you a great variety to taste. Highly recommend the lobster sashimi! Be prepared for their bustling environment though. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent place for Korean sashimi, but I was a bit let down by the service. Sometimes the waiters seemed overwhelmed, and it took a while to get their attention. The food, however, was quite tasty and fresh. I would recommend coming here but maybe during less busy hours. Price is reasonable considering the portion size. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited this small gem hidden in K-town! The sashimi was incredibly fresh, possibly the best I’ve had outside of Korea. They served us an abundance of different types of seafood that left us stuffed. I did have some issues with the staff being a little curt, but the food made up for it. I really liked how authentic the experience felt. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! The seafood was fresh, and the variety was great. I particularly enjoyed the san-nakji and the attention to traditional flavors. The service was friendly and prompt, but as it was busy, I had to wait a few minutes for a table. Definitely worth it for an authentic Korean meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit was quite pleasant! The food was flavorful and impeccably presented. I loved trying the san-nakji and other traditional dishes. The only downside was the wait time—make sure to come with plenty of time set aside. But rest assured, the offerings are worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic place to indulge in some truly authentic Korean sashimi! The freshness is out of this world, and I can’t believe I finally found a place in the city that serves hwedupbap that rivals what I've eaten in Korea. The ambiance is laid-back and really welcoming—a perfect choice for dinner with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)
