Top 4 Western Sushi Restaurants in Pyeongtaek We’ve based the following UPDATED sushi recommendations based on the voting from the 2023 Best of Pyeongtaek Poll. Sam’s Sushi We have been surprisingly pleased each time we have eaten at Sam’s Sushi. The flavors have a very West Coast vibe that takes us back to Seattle or Cali sushi joints we used to haunt. We love the generous fish cuts and full flavors. As an Alaskan, I’m especially in love with the salmon skill hand roll but realize it’s an acquired taste. I Love Sushi Additionally, we have I Love Sushi who trained with California Roll & Sushi in Sinjang-dong, Pyeongtaek-si. Snow Pea Finally, don’t forget about the 2024 winner of Pyeongtaek-s Best Sushi, Snow Pea We have been loving Oishi for over 7 years now. The spicy salmon and tuna rolls are our addiction. The udon and tempura are also wonderful. Once again, we love their generous fish cuts and dynamic, fun flavors. Excellent for larger groups. California Roll and Sushi The best sushi shot near Osan Air Base would easily be California Roll & Sushi. Sushi In Jay How do I find the restaurants mentioned?

To Eat:  AK Plaza basement Although I’m not a fan of fast food, I am a fan of food on little plates going in circles.
