Small Oncheoncheon sushi counter booked through Naver Reservation, with no dedicated parking

About

A small sushi restaurant hidden in the Oncheoncheon cafe-street lanes, marked by the ESC sign. There is no dedicated parking, so the practical driving plan is Oncheoncheon Cafe Street public parking or Allak Station No. 2 lot. Naver Reservation handles up to four guests directly, while groups of five or more should call.

The room is built around a counter facing the kitchen, so you watch the sushi being made rather than sitting in a broad dining room. It is clean, compact, and wood-toned, and the chef explains each piece as it lands. Salad, miso soup, and a small date, cream-cheese, and almond dessert make the meal feel more composed than a simple sushi plate.

The ESC 12-piece set sits around KRW 24,000, though the fish and price can vary by supply. Flatfish and salmon sushi is KRW 12,000 for six pieces or KRW 19,000 for ten, cooked sushi is around KRW 13,000 for six pieces, and the special cooked sushi is around KRW 20,000 for ten. One menu per person is expected, and the chef-special menu is available only by advance reservation.

The fish is repeatedly described as clean, springy, and free of fishy smell, with tidy rice seasoning. It is not the best choice if the goal is a very filling value meal; some diners find the portion light for the price. The quiet counter-only setting can also feel restrained for loud conversation, so it fits dates, solo sushi, takeout for an Oncheoncheon picnic, or a calm small sushi meal.
