Seoul Sushi Rolls

California Roll


One of my bucket list items is to eat some fresh, delicious sushi in Japan - hopefully anywhere and everywhere great sushi can be found. I have a particular view and idea of what good sushi is and usually categorize rolls apart from sushi. However, you will usually find many restaurants that serve a variety of both kinds. California Roll is a restaurant in Seoul in the Gangnam area (exit 7) that left positive memory for me. I was specifically looking for sashimi / sushi in Seoul and happened to stumble upon this restaurant during an eating frenzy. There sushi was good (can't say it was great), their rolls were delicious and beautifully presented, and their noodle dish was also pretty darn good. The ambiance was very clean and retro - and the only drawback of the evening was the staff, the lack of knowledge and experience of our waiter. I'm sure there are better places to find fresh sushi/sashimi, however the convenient location, and variety of their menu was good enough to keep me happy during my mealtime.
