Gangnam - Sushi & Grill - Tempe, Arizona

El restaurante está un poco chico lo que te hace sentir cómodo, los chef están cerca y puedes ver cómo hacen su trabajo. Además, todos los días después de las 8 p.m. tienen happy hour de comidas y bebidas, esto es genial si no tienes tanta hambre pues los platos son moderados y el precio es muy bueno.

This place is an absolute disaster when it comes to customer service. I wouldn't even give them a score; I'd rather assign them a staggering -20 out of 10.

Upon entering, the waiter had the audacity to tell me to sit anywhere, but every table was either occupied or filthy. I begrudgingly settled at the bar, hoping for a glimmer of hope. I waited and waited, and guess what? No one bothered to bring me a menu. Frustrated, I had to get up and fetch the menus myself.

After a torturous 15 minutes of being completely ignored, I realized that waiting for someone to acknowledge my presence was a waste of time. I left without even knowing if the food was decent because the service was so atrocious. I have zero intention of ever returning to this pitiful establishment.

I ended up at this restaurant because everywhere else was packed, likely due to a university event. With a 4.3-star rating on Google, I figured it would be decent. However, my first impression upon walking in was that it felt dark and low-class. The restaurant only accepts cash and Venmo, which was a bit inconvenient.

I ordered a chicken katsu bento, and my friend got the temput udon. After 30 minutes, the udon arrived, but according to my friend, it tasted bland, almost like water, with just a few pieces of tempura. I waited 40 minutes for my bento, which turned out to be two separate dishes: crab stick rolls and a plate of fried chicken with some mixed tempura. To be honest, mine was just okay—not great, but not terrible either. That said, the prices were lower than usual, so I guess you get what you pay for.

My wife ordered take out tonight on their website (not an outside company like Uber Eats). The estimated time was 30 minutes. When my wife arrived after 30 minutes, she was told it would take 25 more minutes. There were only 4 tables seated in the restaurant. When she got home with the food, we noticed that they shorted us 2 rolls that we ordered. My wife called and was told that she needed to call the website number to request a refund. When she asked if they would call and handle it, she was told “no”. Also the rolls were pretty small compared to other places in the area. My wife got some salmon and thought that the first bite was kind of fishy tasting. Looked at the salmon rolls that we got and it looked dark and old and when we opened it up, there were brown parts on the salmon. Not very fresh at all. This placed used to be pretty good but not anymore. Not going back.

We were a little disappointed tonight. We've been coming here since 2015 but it's been a little bit since we were last in.

Our bulgogi bibimbap was lacking flavor, although it was hot. Didn't taste the same as I remembered it. We got the 22 piece nigiri and everything just tasted the same and bland. My sesame seed balls were delicious and warm. The service was good! We were able to pay with our card, but saw some other tables requested to pay cash or venmo. The water was quite odd tasting too!! The food quality did not match the prices paid.

Disappointed that it's not the same. We'll give it one more try as a redemption but will give it some time to improve before we return.

First of all, the food was AMAZING! I've went around to many sushi restaurants, and this sushi has to be some of the best! My rating is not because of the food. The issue was with the service, (not the waitress), but you can tell there is a management/organization problem. Sticky menus, sticky tables, They were out of multiple things, something I can't remember that we tried getting, out of miso soup, and out of chicken. 3 people at my table- the first got their food legitimately 20 minutes before the last person. I got 3 sushi rolls, they brought me someone else's order, before realizing and brining me mine... Which I'm not complaining about, I got 5 rolls lol. Infact I liked the other guy's even more than the ones I ordered. 🙂 sadly can't tell you what they were, but they were deep fried. I was fine with it, but be prepared because they only do Venmo, Zelle, or Cash. Overall, not certain if I'll go back or not. I may, hoping the kinks were a one time thing, however, it seems like it's a bit more of a problem than that. The food was just so good that I may have to anyways- plus there's a chance of getting someone else's food too! 🤗
I just try writing honest reviews to counter all the 5 star ones, and nice reviews to ballance all the negative ones, additionally giving a little praise and a little criticism for the Business to improve on. Overall, I do recommend you visit here if you are looking for some good grub, but maybe put it on the try later list if your having a 'higher stakes' evening. 🙂

One thing I’m going to say, the wait times are horrendous. The staff are very nice, but it took me at LEAST 45 minutes to get my food, little by little, and considering how so many people were waiting for their food, it’s like there’s only one chef or two that are working very slowly. The food itself was delicious though, but not something to remember or worth that long of a wait. If you’re in a hurry, I do not recommend this place. There was a gentleman who was very kind though and I do appreciate him.
