There are separate lunch specials, including the Gatseongbi Set, so keep that in mind. - Gasimbi Set ₩26,500: Aged nigiri (large) 10P, Katsuo udon (large), Aged soy sauce chicken don, drink - Gaseongbi Set ₩30,500: Aged nigiri (large) 10P, Katsuo udon (large), Aged vinegar-sauce sashimi rice bowl, house-sauce shrimp tempura 4P - Gatseongbi Set ₩24,900: Aged nigiri (small) 8P, Katsuo udon (large), Aged vinegar-sauce sashimi rice bowl, house-sauce shrimp tempura 4P You can swap the udon in any set for cold Namhae anchovy soba for an extra charge, and the nigiri can also be upgraded to the Premium Aged Nigiri 12P! Personally, if you want to try a bit of everything at once, I'd recommend the Gaseongbi Set — it comes with nigiri, sashimi rice bowl, shrimp tempura and udon all together, so you get to sample a wide range of dishes. ![Table setting at Sonsi Sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-09-nc43o-900.webp) ## What comes on the 18,500 won Premium Sushi Platter? Instead of a set, we went with the sushi platter menu. 🍣 The Premium Sushi Platter is 18,500 won. ![The Premium Sushi Platter arranged on one plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-10-11g5t-900.webp) The Premium Sushi Platter came out as one plate loaded with many kinds of nigiri — salmon, tuna, shrimp, flounder, ankimo (monkfish liver) and more, so it was a great way to taste a wide variety of sushi in one sitting haha. ![A sushi plate with salmon, tuna, and flounder nigiri](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-11-qs34f-900.webp) ![Close-up of nigiri from the Premium Sushi Platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-12-17d0e-900.webp) And they also have a separate kids' set ready for anyone visiting with children! ![Udon and salad from Sonsi Sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-13-1647e-1200.webp) Udon and salad come included in the set too, haha. ![Tuna nigiri at Sonsi Sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-14-1f30p-900.webp) ### Tuna nigiri and egg nigiri at Sonsi Sushi The tuna nigiri was clean and light — honestly moving. The flesh had a soft bite and went really well with the rice. It also seems like each type of sushi is aged with a different method and timing, which feels like a real strength unique to Sonsi Sushi, a top sushi spot near Yeungnam University. ![Egg nigiri at Sonsi Sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-15-7wnrg-900.webp) The egg nigiri in the middle had a fluffy, soft texture with a subtle sweetness, haha. It had that clean, savory egg flavor that went well tucked between the fish nigiri, resetting your palate in a gentle way. They grill the egg themselves, and it was fluffy and delicious. ![Eel nigiri brushed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-16-jx525-900.webp) ### Eel nigiri and octopus gunkan The eel nigiri was brushed with a sweet eel sauce, so the umami hit from the first bite, haha. The eel flesh was soft and moist, never chewy, with a subtle smoky note layered in for a rich flavor overall... I could've eaten a hundred of these, haha. ![Octopus gunkan sushi at Sonsi Sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-17-14doy-900.webp) The octopus gunkan was also nice and spicy-tangy. ![Sign explaining the low-sodium aged jujube soy sauce from Gyeongsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-18-79d5v-900.webp) ![The jujube aged soy sauce at Sonsi Sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-19-12f68-899.webp) ## Low-sodium aged soy sauce made with Gyeongsan jujubes Apparently this is Korea's first sushi soy sauce made with Gyeongsan's local specialty, jujubes. Because it's a low-sodium aged sauce, the subtle jujube aroma and deep umami add extra flavor to the sushi!!!! ![A plate of Thick Kobujime Salmon Nigiri 8P](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-20-1douo-900.webp) ## Thick Kobujime Salmon Nigiri 8P, 15,000 won The Thick Kobujime Salmon Nigiri 8P is 15,000 won. We ordered two of the torched ones. ![Close-up of kobujime-aged salmon nigiri](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-21-101hy-900.webp) ![Two pieces of torched salmon nigiri](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-22-u6ooy-900.webp) Because it's aged kobujime-style, the umami came through noticeably stronger than plain raw salmon, and the salmon flavor itself felt richer too?! As someone who loves salmon, I personally enjoyed this... a lot. ![Cross-section of a thick salmon nigiri](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-23-1mi1g-900.webp) Soft but never mushy, with a slightly chewy bite — the more you chew, the more the salmon's savory umami explodes. I want to eat it again already, haha. ![Wet wipes and convenience items by the register](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang-24-1eovq-900.webp) ## Self-serve items by the register, and is Sonsi Sushi worth it? After paying, I noticed wet wipes, hand cream, floss, hair ties, and a portable charger sitting by the register. Total respect for the owner's thoughtfulness 👍🏻 Overall, with so many types of sushi and multiple menu configurations, Sonsi Sushi Yeungnam University Main Branch made it easy to order exactly what suited my taste, haha. Both the Premium Sushi Platter and the Thick Kobujime Salmon Nigiri I tried came topped with generously thick fish, and paired with udon, it made for a satisfying, hearty meal. ## Where it is - Sonsi Sushi Yeungnam University Main Branch (손시스시 영남대 본점) - 325 Daehak-ro, Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - 경상북도 경산시 대학로 325 손시스시 - 35.8392178, 128.7566001 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%90%EC%8B%9C%EC%8A%A4%EC%8B%9C%20%EC%98%81%EB%82%A8%EB%8C%80%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8392178,128.7566001,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@suseong-noon-broth/sonsy-sushi-yeungnam-sushi-hansang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
