Osan sushi bar dinner with cheese scallop steak: Special Sushi Osan

Special Sushi Osan Branch 🍣

🕖 Daily 11:30 ~ 22:00 🛍️ Takeout and delivery available 🅿️ 1 hour free at nearby public parking lot

I'd been craving sushi for a while and found this place 😋 It's a conveyor-belt sushi spot so I didn't expect much, but I walked out very, very satisfied, patting my full belly haha.

Seating and evening mood at Special Sushi Osan Branch

Special Sushi Osan Branch is mostly bar-table seating, with 2-3 four-person tables as well. I took the photo on my way out after eating so it looks empty, but even at 7:30pm on a weeknight, when I arrived, the tables were almost completely full!!

At some conveyor-belt sushi places you get sushi sitting out and drying up, but there was none of that here — everything looked fresh at a glance. Even the fact that the plates weren't covered made me think, this place must really turn the belt fast (?). Anyway, the chefs kept making and restocking it nonstop 😋

Early-bird takeout: 10 pieces for ₩9,900

Special Sushi Osan Branch's takeout price is amazingly cheap. Order by 11:50 for the early bird deal and get 10 pieces for ₩9,900!!! 🤑🤑🤑 Takeout orders kept coming in the whole time I was there — highly recommend it as a great-value lunch takeout spot in Osan!!

Raw fish sushi at Special Sushi: salmon, flounder, tuna

I started with the raw fish sushi, and I liked that the fish slices were pretty generously sized haha. 🍣 The salmon melts in your mouth, its savory fattiness spreading gently through the rice. The flounder has a chewy bite that finishes clean, and the tuna quality was quite good for a conveyor-belt place!! It's usually hard to find good raw fish at conveyor-belt sushi spots, but Special Sushi nails it too!!

The aged kimchi flounder sushi is also just ₩1,890!! Right when things start feeling a little rich, one bite of this tangy aged-kimchi topping resets your palate immediately.

Flame-seared steak sushi and the chef's sense of timing

And then these steak menu items, also delicious!!! Topped with sweet-and-spicy sauces that pack a ton of umami, and torched for that smoky char — total crowd-pleaser flavor, even for picky kids 🤤

The one with the giant shrimp bursts in your mouth, and the egg on top is so soft 💓 And when I picked up one plate that I thought might have gone cold, the chef reheated it for me — such a nice touch 👍🏻

The steak menu items seem good for kids to eat too. There was in fact a family there with a young child. They have baby chairs too, so keep that in mind.

Cheese scallop steak sushi, good enough for two plates

And the one that was truly delicious: cheese scallop steak sushi!!!!! That cheese-grilled-scallop flavor!!💗💗 It tasted exactly like that. I ate two whole plates of just this hahaha.

Meat sushi, futomaki, gunkan and rolls

I'd only been eating raw fish, so I tried the meat sushi almost as an afterthought midway through — and it surprised me by being properly good 😮 It felt like eating grilled beef, and the meat was tender.

They also have futomaki (thick seaweed rice roll) and gunkan (battleship-shaped sushi), so there's plenty of variety to keep things interesting!! The tako wasabi (octopus with wasabi) was surprisingly tasty too.

The eel sushi and seasoned shrimp sushi were both tasty with no fishy smell.

There were a lot of rolls, so I tried one last — exactly the kind of flavor kids love! Good for a final palate cleanser haha.

Ordering premium sushi like uni by tablet

Every so often, premium sushi topped with uni (sea urchin) also comes around! If you want to eat premium sushi, you can also order it separately through the tablet — keep that in mind~!!

With so much variety and everything tasting good piece by piece, it felt like a proper sushi meal after a long time 😊 A place worth remembering for a clean, satisfying meal in Osan!
