Metromix eats: Samsung Plaza

A hidden sushi gem

One of the best-kept secrets at Samsung Plaza is #1 I Love Sushi, a sushi place hidden inside Samsung Plaza behind menu specials plastered on tinted glass. The owner says her main customers are savvy Korean nationals looking for fresh, inexpensive sushi.

The secret? The owners actually go to the fish auction at Pier 38 and operate a company that wholesales seafood to other local sushi bars, which is how they're able to keep the costs down on such fresh items. The dishes shown in this gallery are a sampling of one meal we had there. We've since gone back to enjoy some of the freshest sushi in town at good prices. There are a few rolls that cost just $7.50, which are great for filling up with friends.
