About

Casual sushi spot across from IKEA in Gwangmyeong, serving reasonably priced sushi sets and rice bowls with seasonal noodles.

Perched on the second floor of the Hyoseong Harrington Tower in Iljik-dong, directly across from IKEA and near Gwangmyeong Station, Sushi 153 (also known locally as Sushi Ichigosan) is an unassuming neighborhood go-to for dependable sushi sets and rice bowls. The dining room balances pale wood accents with functional, tidy seating: two- and four-top tables flank the walls, while a sunlit counter runs along the windows, offering an easy vantage point for solo diners. An open kitchen underscores the restaurant’s quiet focus on freshness and clean preparation. The kitchen moves at a brisk pace, starting every order with warm miso soup and a crisp cabbage salad dressed in a nutty blend of perilla and peanut sauces. Set options anchor the lunch and dinner traffic. The popular midday combo balances ten well-formed pieces—ranging from tender flatfish and rich salmon to seared buttery shrimp and tamago—with a seasonal side, swapping winter's steaming miniature udon for icy *naengmomi*l (buckwheat noodles in chilled broth) during the hotter months. The standard A and B sets deliver thicker cuts of sashimi draped generously over tangy, seasoned sushi rice, featuring pristine raw salmon, blowtorched *aburi* salmon, and aged white fish accented by aged kimchi (*mukeunji*). A crisp piece of fried lotus root often accompanies the nigiri, and meals wind down with a small cup of chilled *omija* (five-flavor berry) tea. Beyond sushi planks, the menu features wallet-friendly donburi like *sake-dong* (fresh salmon bowl) and *hoedeopbap* (mixed raw fish over greens and rice). Thanks to dedicated building parking and an exceptionally swift kitchen that doubles as a lunch-hour lifesaver for nearby office workers, the space hums with steady activity from opening to the evening shift. Closed Sundays, with a daily afternoon break.
