Korea Garden runs a daily sushi combination special with six pieces of sushi and one roll for $12.95. Service was reasonably quick, and the presentation was an explosion of color, with the individual pieces artfully prepared. The yellowtail (hamachi) was silken and buttery and unfailingly fresh. The tuna (maguro) was prime, soft, deep red, and rich. But a surprising standout was the Spicy Tuna Handroll, which was like a spicy tuna tartare rolled in nori and flavored with chile, sesame oil, and cucumber -- absolutely incredible.
