Koryo Sushi - Oakland - 2.5 stars

Date visited: Often

Type of cuisine: Korean-influenced Japanese sushi

Comments:Average

General impression:
From the name you can tell that it is operated by the same family as Koryo of Berkeley. In fact, they are next to each other. I'm putting this under Berkeley because it is on Telegraph, and actually at the border between Berkeley and Oakland. The best thing about this restaurant is that it opens really, really late. So if you want sushi in the wee hours of the morning, here is where you'd get it. They also use a lot of Korean ingredients in their sushi, and expect "SPICY" when you order spicy items. No kidding there. It is definitely burn-your-mouth spicy rolls!I had their sukiyaki and grilled squid, and I cannot recommend it at all. The sukiyaki is too sweet, squid too rubbery. Come here for therolls. However, if it is around 9ish, I'd recommend Sushi House, as Koryo Sushi is a bit more pricy.
