Myung San

This is a wonderful place to meet up a small group 2-3 friends. It is not a very big restaurant so it’s not good for a big party. The food is shareable although the portion is a bit small to us. We ordered a marinated soy sauce crab, a beef soup, raw fish with pork, and marinated grill eel. I would say the pork is good but the raw fish is very traditional Korean dish. I personally don’t like that. It’s like a very salty raw fish. The rest of the dishes are good. We went there for marinated soy sauce crab. There is not much place has this dish. It is definitely worth to try if you like soy sauce crab. I can tell they cleaned it very well before marinating the crab. Overall, it is a great place to chill with your friends!

Small mom and pop shop with incredible authentic Korean food! If you’re looking for something homey, this is definitely the place to go to. The marinated raw crab is a must-try!

I’ve been trying to find good gejang spot since I’ve been craving it and nothing has matched up to the gejang I had in Korea but then I tried this place!! I’m so happy I found this spot, the crab isn’t super salty and it’s super meaty and tasty. I would say it is pretty expensive for 3 crabs each serving but it definitely satisfies the craving haha!

Very small portions for your money - pork belly was just two pieces, bulgogi didn’t have any meat maybe a couple slivers max, Kalbi had about 6-7 pieces - each of these dishes were around $30

Located Korean restaurant for real!! Place to eat raw crab in soy sauce. Very goodddd

What a homely Korean place! We visited for late lunch (3+pm) and there were a couple of tables occupied. I was very very impressed with the banchan- they served warm fish cakes and tofu!! 🥹I was so touched, love it! We ordered 2 soups and a seafood pancake. The spicy galbi tang came with big pieces of galbi, they were soft altho I wished they were thinner pieces. The clear fish and vegetables soup was nice too. The pancake was crispy and came with a lot of ingredients. Overall very satisfied with this meal and can’t wait to be back to try the raw crab!

I’ve been coming here for the raw crab a couple times now - great price and awesome flavor. We also ordered the bossam and it is served with oyster kimchi (YUM!). Service is good, the ahjummas are so friendly. Every time I come here with my group, we inhale. Proof in the before and after pics.

Interesting soy sauce cold crab 🦀, spicy pork pairs well with the vegetable bibimbap. Galbi tan (non spicy soup) was good too and seafood pancake was ok, better with the sauce. There’s a really strong smell when you walk in and not that many seats, pretty packed when I came over on the weekend for lunch Saturday. Good portion for 4 people. More like 3.5 stars and bumping it up to 4 since other people in my group like it.

Myung san was a pleasant surprise. Out of all korean places, the service of Myung San is the best. The crab meat was very good. For the first time eater, I enjoyed it a lot even though I don't know how to differentiate good from bad. My friend told me that crab provided was fresh as it did not have bitter taste. This place banchan was different. The spices and hot levels of each side dish were different. The bean sprouts were mild while lotus root was spicy. I enjoyed the varieties. Duck meat was lean as told by the employee was the healthy food. Gopchang was good quality too. For 2 people, we ordered too many dishes and decided to take seafood sujebi home. Next day the sujebi was still flavorful. The service was excellent . They let you take your time to enjoy the food

*4.5/5 maybe Had an intense craving for raw marinated crab after seeing a million and one Tiktoks on the matter -- Myung San proved a worthy introduction to the dish. We went for the Yangyeom (spicy) version & ordered soondubu too & both of us walked away quite stuffed. Nice variety of tasty banchan. The soondubu was soft and delicious and had bits of seafood. The crab was a process to eat (they give you gloves and tools) & is piled high with spicy green onions -- these pair well with everything on the table and will make your nostrils burn. Service was friendly & most patrons were middle-aged/older Koreans, which automatically gives Myung San a stamp of approval. I would def return to try the soy sauce flavor, as I heard that lets the raw crab flavor shine thru.

Randomly stumbled upon this small restaurant with a picture of raw marinated crabs that have become so popular on social media. The restaurant only has 6 tables and is located next to the Broadway LIRR station. I originally called to make a reservation for a table of 2 because I heard it gets packed but there were empty tables. Spicy Raw Marinated Crabs - This dish came with 3 blue crabs with a spicy and sweet sauce . They were so delicious and had lots of roe. The crabs themselves were fresh and sweet. Like most reviews mentioned, the crabs were on the smaller side but they were meaty. I mixed the rice in the head and it was so creamy. LA Yangyum Kalbi - The short ribs were nicely grilled but slightly dry. There were only 6-7 pieces. Not a dish to rave about. Daegu Maeuntang - This is a spicy dish with codfish, bean sprouts, spinach and tofu. I asked the waiter for mild but it was still spicy. The flavor was on point though. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. There was a lot of banchan such as tofu, eggplant, kimchi, sweet potatoes, spinach and bean sprouts. The service was excellent. There was only one man working and he was the server, waiter and cashier. He was super sweet and friendly.

Non spicy marinated crab is the bomb. This is the first time I tried and def will try again next time when I visit flushing area. The octopus with vegetable was good too. I finished all my rice with the sauce from this dish. Food came out all quickly.

Been here twice and this place has officially become my go-to Korean food spot. The menu is extensive and each dish I have had has been solid. The side dishes are great (pan fried tofu is spectacular). The price is more reasonable than most restaurants within the area. I cannot wait to come back and try new things on the menu. The food is very comforting and tastes like home!

Came back again and ordered the seafood soojabi. Still super comforting and the ladies are so nice there. Always my favorite Korean spot. Came back to reconfirm that it's still top tier.

Great Korean comfort food. Love the soy marinated crabs and kalbi tang. Good variety of pan-chan! Service is great as well. The kalbi jim was god as well!

Great food and great local spot to have some raw marinated crab!! The army stew was superb as well and was the perfect portion for the 4 of us and we finished it all. Service was by a Korean Aunty and she was super warm and nice and attentive despite it being so busy. Definitely deserved the tip. Atmosphere in the restaurant was lively and it felt like I was in Korea! The only thing I wouldn't really recommend is the Bossam (pork belly with cabbage and oysters) because 3 of us had the oysters and we were bedridden sick with some sort of stomach virus for 2 weeks the moment we got home. Not sure if it was the oysters or not but theyre a pretty big suspect since we did not eat anything else that day. Other than that, everything else was amazing and would come back again for some more stew and crab on a cold day!

If you are looking for raw crabs, this spot is it! Amazing dish and fairly priced for what it is. I personally like their soy sauce crab over the spicy one but they are both good and worth the try! They have a lot of your standard Korean dishes from sundubu, to bibimpbap to bulgolgi as well. So if you are just craving traditional Korean, feel free to stop by as well! They seem to be short on staff so service maybe a bit slow but they try their best to serve you!

Trusted place for Korean food that's reasonable in price and not outrageously expensive like K-town in Manhattan. This was my last meal in 2023 and it was delicious! The food comes out really quick and I've never left hungry. It's a very small restaurant but homey and comfortable. I love the raw marinated crab there! Service is great, quick, easy, straight to food!

Went around 12:30PM on a weekday afternoon and there were only 2 tables left. A very mom and pop shop. The service is great and timely. There's nothing special about the atmosphere. Just another cozy mom and pop shop. The food was amazing. Came here to try the soy marinated crab that been trending and would definitely come back again. It is salty and goes well with rice. Boosam pork belly is also amazing with the rice and cabbage.

Came here for a Sunday afternoon lunch. Wonderful staff, excellent service, and incredibly delicious food! The environment was friendly and comfortable, I can't wait to go again

If you are coming here for their raw marinated crabs: Taste wise it was pretty good but their crabs are on the smaller side, so less meat for the price. I liked the marinated and soy crab equally and didnt feel like one was particularly better than the other. We also got the galbijim which was also on the smaller side portion wise which was disappointing considering its over $50. Their Bossam was delicious and would get again. We also got their tofu soup which I loved. The flavor was rich but not too heavy and complimented the other dishes well. Very different from your usual tofu soup from BCD. Bill came out to over $230 for 4 people and none of us were full but cane for the raw crab experience. Service was great, nothing to complain about there!

My only spot to go for raw marinated crab. I get this craving every few months and I come here every time for it since it is know as their specialty. Seems like a very legit place as all the people dining in are Korean families. The crab is so good and fresh ugh can go for some right now!!!

Came for the CRAB! They were out of the spicy one- seemed to happen to everyone lol is it still on the menu? Soy Marinated Crab - yum, sweet, fresh Grilled Eel - don't get tricked by the photo, it came half size of the photo and it was pretty tough to chew. For $33, I suggest you order something else. Belt Fish - pretty good very soft but almost too soft and flaky. The base was very salty. Ground Mud Fish Soup - wanted to try something unique but everyone hates it lol. You can taste the ground fish bone in the soup. Wish it wasn't ground, just mud fish. Beef Soup - very good!

After thinking about raw marinated crabs for a while, a friend suggested coming for lunch, so I of course, could not decline! Myung San felt like a locals mainly, hole in the wall restaurant with the ladies calling each other "unnies". After ordering, I was not prepared for the plentiful banchan, with a whole tofu side dish that could be an app on its own. Every banchan was on point, but I quite enjoyed the potato. Starting with the main show, the Ganjang Gaejang ($25.95) was raw crab marinated in soy sauce. It was 3 crabs. It tasted exactly like what you can imagine raw crabs to taste, but with a slightly overly salty sauce doused all over. Despite the sauce, you can still taste the raw parts, which were a gooey slightly sticky texture. I think the crabs could have benefited from a different, kind of more dimensional sauce. I was prepared for low expectations of the Kimchi Jeon ($14.95) thanks to some friends' initial reactions, but I quite enjoyed it! It's not crispy, but instead quite mushy. But it was so flavorful, not spicy, and went so well drenched in the pancake sauce. The Galbi Tang ($19.95) was a fitting dish on a cold day, but it was a little too salty for my taste. I enjoyed the creamy rich beef short rib and glass noodles though! I took a gamble at the Kot Gae Tang ($18.95), as it went along with the crab theme. It was a hot spicy crab soup with veggies, and wow was it a go-down-your-throat-spicy! There was definitely a kickback to it. There were tons of crab pieces inside, with some leg pieces still succulent. The service was phenomenal, with the lady refilling our tea and banchans without us even raising a hand. Although I'm tempted to come back to try the spicy version of the raw crabs, they're definitely a try once and not again type experience. But given the equally as delicious other dishes Myung San has to offer, you just have to give this place a try!

The soy raw crab was decent, though it needed to be supplemented with rice secondary to the textural difference from cooked crab. The galbi soup was refreshing and clean, not overly thick; the beef was quite tender. The pancake didn't have too much seafood but was fairly crisp.

Ganjang Gaejang (4.5/5) - $25.95 The Gan hang gaejang are Raw crabs marinated in soy sauce was very good. It wasn't overly salty or sweet. There were three crabs total. I would highly recommend this dish it was very fresh and delicious. La Yangyum Kalbi Joung Sik (4/5) - $24.95 The La yangyum kalbi joung sim are short rib and bean paste stew. The ribs are tender. Overall it was okay. Nothing overly special but nothing to complain about. Extra The food came very quick The service was okay Prices are decent Seem like a family own restaurant Came with tofu stew on the house

I've been to Myungsan once before and the food was delicious and the service is great but during a recent visit, three of us got pretty awful food poisoning from the crabs. Please stay safe and do not risk it. I'm surprised so many people have gotten food poisoning judging from recent reviews and it seems like there's been no action on this. I hope that they change their cooking process / buy safer crabs going forward.

Raw marinated crabs were very small. Similar to another reviewer, my friends and I also got food poisoning for 2 days after our visit. The other foods we tried - bossam and soybean stew - were really good. Seemed like a lot of other people at the restaurant also enjoyed the stews.

Came for the whole ginseng chicken soup and it was delish. I called an hour before to preorder as it takes an hour to make. It was quite fatty since there was chicken skin being boiled too. Lots of chicken meat and can easily fill 4 people if you get 1 appetizer (crabs) as well. It comes with green bean porridge. Next time maybe I'll try the whole ginseng duck soup! The duck takes 1.5 hours to prepare. Loved that the lady refilled my side dishes but it seems like if you go later in the night they run out of veggies.

I love the raw blue crabs! My favorite dish of all times. Absolutely delicious! The ambiance is calm and very home like. Love the service, the ladies there are wonderful!

Spicy crab was over the top great! I think it was better than the soy crab. Tried their duck soup today and it was very flavorful and fresh as well

I went to this restaurant to sample the raw blue crab and I was not disappointed. I had the spicy raw crab. It was absolutely delicious. The seafood pancake was very good also.

Not sure if all the social media recs got to this place but we got food poisoning after eating the marinated crab this past Saturday. The food was tasty and friendly staff as well but definitely not worth the vomiting afterwards. Will not be returning.

Really disappointing. $30 for very small portion and 4 tiniest crabs we have ever seen. This round box isn't even the normal take out size, it's actually smaller size. Most of the container was shells, no meat. There was no flavor other than soy sauce. I got this after a YouTuber raved about it, I should have known. The worst part is we had food poisoning for 2 days afterwards. They seem to pre-pack these and have them sitting in the fridge for gods knows how long, until an unsuspecting person comes to order one. I tasted a piece and it was super fishy. I've had raw crabs before (BCD tofu) and they are super sweet, not fishy. Do not recommend! This is just dangerous.

Ate here and got the bossam and marinated crabs. Food was delicious but my girlfriend and I got really bad food poisoning. My brother and his girlfriend also went a couple weeks before and they had also gotten food poisoning. Not sure what is going on since a couple months prior had decent reviews.

While searching for marinated crab near me, I came across Myang San! Conveniently located in Flushing, Queens. Just like most restaurants in the area, it is street parking The service was quick, efficient and hospitable. I ordered the soy marinated crab because the spicy marinated crab was not ready. I was delightfully surprised how much ban Chan came with the entree ( complimentary side dishes) They start you off with hot tea and the soup of the day. When I went it was the Kimchi soup ( SOOO GOOD!) I also ordered soju and several terra beer ( Korean beer) the crab, the sides and rice were super delicious and filling. Would definitely recommend this restaurant; the price was also very fair I visited in December 2022

Yummy soy marinated crabs - this is the spot! Kind family run business, came in on a Saturday evening and no wait!

Came here for the Raw Marinated Crabs! Nice small family-owned restaurant. Their banchan was very yummy. Soy marinated crab: 8/10 very umami flavor, although I wish the crabs were more meaty. They include the head of the crab which I love to mix rice in. Spicy marinated crab: 8/10 super good, perfect amount of spice but a bit sweet for my liking though. they also don't include the head of crab unlike the soy marinated crab. Soondubu: 5/10 definitely overpriced for the quality, was spicy but pretty watery and lacking in other flavor. Price isn't the cheapest but is pretty standard for a Korean spot.

Visited Myung San for some authentic Korean food, and I wasn't disappointed. The restaurant has a moderate size, which makes it cozy without feeling crowded. The service was prompt; from taking our order to placing the utensils, plates, banchan, and water on our table. I must commend their raw marinated crab - absolutely delectable. Tried the kimchi pork belly tofu dish, which surprisingly wasn't spicy but still flavorful. The LA kalbi was decent, while the soups were heartwarming and hit the right spot. Also appreciated the banchan - they were tasty and refilled without request. All in all, a lovely place for a Korean meal.

Our group of 3 arrived at 1pm and were seated outdoors since their indoor seating was full, but we didn't mind since it was a beautiful day out. We ordered their galbi jjjim, soondubu, seafood pancake, and of course, their soy raw marinated crabs. It was my first time trying Korean soy raw marinated crabs and will definitely be back for more. I also liked that their seafood pancake had the chewy almost mochi-like texture. Overall, the food was authentic and good. In terms of service, they really took care of us. From offering recommendations to consistently checking on us, we were always attended to.

Overall: 9/10 My friend and I were craving some raw crabs and decided to try this place out. It was very good service with small outdoor seating area. Would not recommend parties larger than 8 here since its smaller interior. Food we ordered: Bossam: $45.95 8/10 freshly made, still warm to touch pork belly and rendered to perfection with amazing oyster radish kimchi. Amazing dish to share with 4 people. We struggled to finish as two people. Raw marinated crab (spicy): $25.95, 10/10 Very fresh and perfectly seasoned here. It's spicy and sweet and savory all in one bite and the roe of the crab is quite amazing. If i came back here, i would order this again with some rice. Raw marinated crab (soy): $25.95 10/10 The crab roe was seasoned with a soy glaze that complimented rice perfectly and the combination of the two was quite amazing.

Soy marinated crab is legit, but you can get marinated crabs for FREE at other bbq places. This portion is pretty small for the price. The other items were so horrible. The spicy galbi soup had 3 pieces of galbi in it and 5 pieces of radish slices. The soup tastes like water with some sauce that's floating in it. All the ingredients taste like that they were cooked somewhere else and put together with no extra steps. They also run out of eel that day and we ordered grilled pollack. It again tasted like spices rubbed on some fish grilled dry. I don't recommend any other items besides the crabs.

Quiet, homey (a little divey) Korean restaurant across from the Broadway LIRR station. The lunch specials are great and lots of folks come here for the raw marinated crab - soy and spicy versions. Service is efficient and super nice.

Dropped by around 7pm. There were still tables available, but the restaurant got significantly busier as the night went on. I tried the soy marinated crabs, beef stomach bbq, and the somuri gukbap. The soy marinated crabs were filled with roe. The roe was rich and smooth. The soy sauce paired so well with the rice. It took quite a bit of effort to eat them though. I had to meticulously pick at each leg to make sure that I wasn't missing any meat. There was also an odd number of crab halves. There were three body shells but only five half legs. The beef stomach was only a portion of three. It wasn't a lot at all given the price. It wasn't seasoned. However, the samjang was amazing. It paired really nicely with the stomach and just brought it to life. The somuri gukbap had a buttery taste which I didn't enjoy that much. However, it did come with a lot of beef. The banchan was a good variety. Whenever we ran out and the staff saw, they could refill it without us asking. Pricing was kind of expensive, but the quality of the food was amazing.

Omg, this place is bomb. I've always wanted to try soy marinated crab and finally I got it. It is so so good. If you've never tried, it tastes a bit like uni, so if you're someone who likes raw fish and sushi, you will love it. Their side dishes are also the best I've tried. Highly recommend! We got soju to pair with and it was so perfect.

I've heard great things about this place, it was our second stop since we touched down in New York. Service is about what you'd expect in an Asian-esque place. Marinated crab were delicious! A little small but great! I would love for a place like this back at home in Orlando. We got there a little after 11 (when they open) so we were the first customer.

Tik Tok now serves as Yelp for my teens. My daughter insisted we come here after she saw it on Tik Tok and her friend ate here and raved about it. Myung San is a OG Korean eatery with homey food, no frills service and an authentic menu for traditionalists. The main draw here is the soy marinated crabs. I've had them a few times before and I don't like them. The ones here didn't change my mind on the dish but I did note that they were very clean and did not have any fishy smells or taste which is definitely an improvement for me. The banchan is really fresh and tasty here and as a plus they constantly refill them for you. The grilled eel here was scrumptious - smoky, spicy and fresh (not from a vacuum sealed bag). The seafood stew was also very good and had lots of fresh shellfish and fish. Prices here are meant for people to share the dishes and portion sizes are pretty big. I would be careful not to over order or you'll be taking a doggy bag with you for sure. Decor is a bit dated but here its about the food. Service is prompt and polite. Is it better than other eateries that do similar food in the area? Probably not but it's definitely on par and if you like the soy marinated crabs, I don't think anyone else is on their level. Thumbs up.

Was checking out the menus of Korean restaurants around here to see if there was something different we couldn't get back home in Texas. Spicy duck stew.. spicy crab stew..yes! I'm coming to try. Then I saw them on righteous eats tiktok.. I think. It was 45 minutes before closing. My mistake, but i wanted to try before going home to Texas!! I think they were ready to close up and go. You know how restaurants are when you come in before closing. Rushing. Felt rushed. My fault. I got the spicy crab stew. My damn family got bulgogi. Irritated me so much. I suggest a korean restaurant with food we can't get back home like spicy duck stew and yall want to order bulgogi!! Smh. Lol. The crab was for decoration I guess cuz there was no meat in the stew and had to crack. Husband got the meat out for me. I really liked it but it was missing the wow factor. I feel like if I didn't come in almost at closing that it would've been awesome. Then after husband got the meat out I couldn't enjoy it properly cuz I was being rushed from my family and the ladies. Again my fault. It was a letdown. I would come back though..way before closing!! Haha

It was my first time trying raw marinated crab and didn't like it. A bit too fishy for me. It didn't come with anything to dress it up. One thing for sure is I didn't get sick eating raw crab as I have a weak stomach. Also ordered a seafood noodle soup and a beef with beef tripe soup. They skimp out on the seafood in the noodle soup. Seafood was tiny with one piece of each. The noodles were very thick and the soup itself lacks flavor. The beef with beef tripe soup was beefy and has a strong taste of beef tripe which was a bit stinky in a way. Everything including the ban chan aka side dishes was on the very salty side. They do refill your side dishes if they see an empty plate. All the employees were very friendly and inviting. Food came out quick.

We went at 3PM on a Saturday and the place was full. That should tell you something. I went to the soy marinated crab, which is their specialty. One plate has 3 crabs and sells for $25...so it's on the pricier side. The crab was fresh and delicious and exactly what I imagined. The other dishes were pretty basic and similar to ktown prices.

My family decided to make the trip up here since we don't have many authentic korean options in our area and we've also heard some good things about this place. We were mostly here just to try the raw marinated crabs (both soy and spicy). They were both quite good but I would say the soy sauce one was a bit too salty. However the crab meat on both were very fresh. Waiters were friendly and attentive, and the place had a very traditional Korean feel to it. Overall a good experience and I'd come back to try some of their other dishes as well.

I've been dying to come here ever since I found out they had marinated raw crab!!! I had it for the first and last time when I went to Korea a few years ago and loved it I was really hoping that we would get some goood crab with lots of roe inside. I saw some pics that didn't look too good. I was very fortunate that day! My bf never had it so I was showing him how to eat it. The more I ate it the more I liked it! We mixed rice into the shell part so it was super flavorful. This was definitely the highlight of our meal. My bf also got the kalbi tang, which was ok. The broth was very light and meat could've been more "fall of the bone" I liked the banchan here too. The waitresses were really friendly too. Will be back soon for the crab!

A bit of a trip away from Manhattan but I think it's worth. I didn't realize it's a $15 round trip train ride away tho. This was the most authentic place I've ever been too. When I came in, I heard someone greet us but didn't see who. Then I saw it was the older ladies who were eating at a table. I thought they were customers. One got up and sat us. It really felt like I was at my aunts house or something. It's a really small homey shop. Only like 5 tables. And they're def humble cause there was signs saying if this place was full, the place next door serves the same quality of crabs. But the overall service was very laid back. Like they weren't attentive to you and you would have to raise your hand or call them for their attention. But they did the bare minimum of taking your order and delivering your food and replacing the side dishes when empty. We had to call someone to refill our water jug tho. I mainly came out here for the raw marinated crabs. I heard it was the best in NYC. I don't really have any other place to compare it to so I don't know if anywhere else is better but it was really good. But it's also my first time eating raw crab. In my opinion it was well seasoned. So soft. So moist. Not too salty. The texture was like raw scallops. And I think we got a decent amount for the price. We also got soft tofu stew. I'm not a huge connoisseur of traditional Korean food (like stews) and I saw reviews saying everything else on the menu was just average. So I can't tell you if it's average or not. But I thought the stew was really good. Perfect amount of spice snd sourness. It tasted so good with the rice. It was full of tofu and seafood. It just warmed my stomach up and settled it. It just felt good. They had really good banchan too. I loved their kimchi. It's hard for me to find good kimchi in stores so I asked if I could get some to go. They said no lol.

Of course I got the soy marinated crabs! Definitely worth it with their purple rice. This is definitely a small hole in the wall restaurant, very authentic Korean food. I can't wait to get the giant chicken next time, seemed like a lot of people ordered it when I was there yesterday. Worth checking out!

Cute little mom and pops shop. My in laws were saying how they've never seen such a small Korean restaurant in Queens haha. It filled up quick, good thing we called in for a reservation for Friday night. The service is great and you can see how friendly all of them are ! Their side dishes are very yummy and love the tofu they also give. We ordered the crab, galbi tang, pork belly, seafood pancake , bibimbap and soon dobu. I was sad eating the last piece of crab bc there's never enough for me to eat (how do I order 10 plates of these for $50 hahaha). Food was all great and they were fast. Will def come back

Came for the raw crab and would probably come back just for that. Prices here are quite high but that seems to be the case with Korean food these days. Ganjang Gaejang: 8/10 Pricey, pretty salty, and not much meat but still very tasty and mixing it with rice was the best part of my meal there. Soy sauce saltiness could be a bit overwhelming though. Galbi Tang: 7/10 Soup and meat were pretty standard and good. Nothing special but nothing to complain about. Soondubu: 6/10 Soondubus are getting pricey now too but still pretty good with a ton of tofu and not much seafood tbh. Seafood Pancake: 5/10 More mushy and full of scallion with not much seafood here as well. Was ok but would probably go somewhere else and not order here again for this. Sides: 9/10 Sides were great. Overall: 3/5 Pretty cozy family-vibe spot. Nice service and friendly staff. Feels very authentic but the food wasn't worth the price in my opinion. Was craving raw crab that I haven't had since Asia and this place scratched my itch with theirs but I would honestly only come back for it and not the other dishes.

Made a reservation for 3 and was glad I did. This place fills up very quickly during dinner time, so I'd highly recommend calling in to reserve beforehand. This place is known for their raw blue crabs marinated in soy sauce (ganjang gaejang), and my cousin was dying to try this place as it's one of her favorite dishes. She said it's definitely one of the best of all the ones she's tried and even finished the entire order by herself, so this places lives up to its hype over this dish! (If you're specifically looking to just order this, there is a sign on their door that mentions a partnership store nearby that serves the exactly the same dish if you're not able to get a table here) Other dishes we ordered: - seafood pancake was good, but ratio of scallion to seafood was a bit off. - seafood soondubu and kimchi jjigae weren't as great as we had hoped - weren't horrible, but we've definitely had better. - bossam was delicious - comes in second after the ganjang gaejang Even with every table being full, the food came out surprisingly quick and the service was great. I'd recommended checking out this place for their ganjang gaejang, but if you're looking for anything else, there would probably be better Korean spots around the area.

I came here specifically for the raw marinated crabs since a youtube mukbanger I watch said they were amaaazing lol. This place is pretty authentic - lowkey and no frills service. It also wasn't busy at all when I went on a Friday evening. I've only had homemade raw crab before and I found the portion here to be pretty small for the price. The crab was fresh though and not too "fishy." It was definitely salty but paired well with rice. Personally I prefer spicy raw marinated crab compared to soy marinated, and I'm not sure I'd come back to have it just because it's pretty expensive. Though, I would suggest this to other people. I also got the galbi tang. Had decent amount of meat and a LOT of radish. Flavor was fine but it didn't come out super hot.
