Why here
Sushi Koya started out as a delivery-only sushi operation before remodeling into a sit-down omakase counter in Dapsimni, serving a ₩39,000 dinner nigiri course and a cheaper lunch set. It runs on a first-come waitlist sign at the door, with guests let in about five minutes before the course begins. ChopChop University paired it against Sushi Dowoo in its value-omakase shortlist.
