Customer Reviews
Stop by this small local gem for some excellent gejang (or raw marinated crab) - I haven't seen a lot of places in the area that even serve gejang let alone specialize in it, and this restaurant is a very good one! The menu is somewhat slim and the space is slightly cramped, which meant that there was some wait time around peak hour and we didn't have a lot of space for our stuff. All that being said, I would definitely give this place a try if you're craving some authentic Korean cuisine!
Before this became a restaurant, I have been getting gaejang through their ordering system based off IG. So when I heard this restaurant was becoming a brick and mortar shop I was very excited to check them out ! The restaurant located in a strip mall is fairly small considering its popularity. If you’re not familiar with gaejang, it is raw crab that have been marinated in either soy sauce or Korean pepper sauce (gochujang). But, this place also offer a small variety of other Korean dishes like army stew (buddae jigae), knife cut noodles with clams and other raw dishes. My personally favorite is the soy marinated crabs and the knife cut noodles !!! They do not accept reservations so aim to go on the earlier side and also ideal for smaller groups. Price wise, it ranges from $50-$75 pp depe
We got the assorted jang and so so good! Split it between three people and we couldn’t eat everything. Loved the crab, abalone, and salmon. The shrimp wasn’t a big hit on table tbh. Would go again.
The soy sauce marinated crabs are so good. Put them over hot rice or you put some rice in back in the shell. The spicy ones were also good but can't have as many. 4 adults We did the half and half and added another soy sauce marinated crabs. The kalbi beef short ribs, seafood soft tofu and the kimchi pancake we're also very well cooked. Friendly attentive service. Also Korean beer or the makguli (Korean unfiltered sake) is an excellent pairing
Great service with attentive staff. Raw dishes are as good as it gets and not fishy at all. The soup was slightly watery, but everything else was excellent.
