About
Casual neighborhood sushi spot located right outside Cheonwang Station, offering assorted nigiri combos accompanied by mini udon and corn cheese.
Tucked into the ground floor of Saerom Starville right outside Cheonwang Station’s Exit 4, Sushikooya is an unassuming neighborhood spot built on speed, precision, and reliable craft. Operating as a sibling to the original Oryu-dong branch, the compact space features an open kitchen flanked by a few two- and four-top tables alongside counter seating, making it equally welcoming for solo diners or pairs stepping in for a quick meal. The dining experience here leans into neat, traditional Japanese-style tidiness. When you sit down, table caddies are already stocked with ginger, rakkyo, soy sauce, and wasabi. Dine-in orders often arrive accompanied by a hot skillet of bubbly corn cheese alongside individual bowls of mini udon, spiked lightly with shichimi pepper and springy noodles. Sushi is shaped with modest portions of rice beneath generous, elongated cuts of fish. The kitchen works swiftly, sending out platters like the twelve-piece Modum (assorted) and Teuk-Modum (special assorted) sets, which feature soft cuts of salmon topped with thin slices of onion, flatfish, tender yellowtail, sweet shrimp, and inari. Those visiting on weekdays can take advantage of the lunch sushi set, pairing ten pieces of nigiri with a shrimp tempura and noodles. Beyond standard nigiri, Sushikooya’s extensive menu branches into oversized rolls blanketed in dancing katsuobushi shavings—like the savory shrimp and eel roll—as well as overflowing bowls of gwang-eo hoedeopbap loaded with sliced flatfish, fresh greens, and tangy chochojang. While it draws a massive delivery following across the Guro district, dining in rewards guests with immediate service straight from the chef's cutting board. Two hours of parking validation in the building's underground garage makes stopping by before a walk around nearby Pureun Arboretum completely effortless.
