Walk-in

Maru Sushi is a small neighborhood counter near Soongsil University in Sangdo-dong, with about six counter seats and two or three tables serving an entry-level omakase alongside an A-set nigiri from ₩14,000. Residents describe visiting repeatedly over the years rather than treating it as a special-occasion trip, and dinner waits are common without a reservation. ChopChop University matched it against Toyosu in its omakase bracket.
