I prefer the Korean crab than the spicy one. The overall quality is good. It is different from the raw crab or shrimp in Chaoshan, which I like more. The Korean crab tastes sweet to me but it is perfect when I ate it together with rice. I will not recommend the spicy raw crab. The urchine rice was also delicious, and I recommend one for each person! 3-29 update: Pretty good. ~60 per person with two friends.

Was the best raw crabs I’ve ever had. Food was great. Atmostphere was warm enough to feel like I was in Korea. I love all the raw dishes. But it was pity that we cooked the hotpot too long, making the crab over cooked, losing its freshness and flavor. Would difinitely recommend for raw seafood here !

We came at 11: 30 am last Monday. It was a nice cozy restaurant. We were greeted by warm and friendly staff. Of course, we ordered the Soy Sauce Marinated Raw Crabs, Small Uni Bowl, and Spicy Seafood Stew in Hot Pot. Our order came with a complimentary Salmon Head Stew. It was our first time to try these dishes and they were all delicious. We loved them. The crabs were so fresh, as well as the uni. The soy sauce with the raw crabs eaten with rice and seaweeds were so delicious. The uni bowl not only looked good but tasted good, too. The spicy seafood and salmon head were very satisfying. We were happy and we highly recommend for seafood lovers.

I may not know the difference between Korean and American crab, but the food was absolutely delicious. The name “Crab House” was fitting, yet the sea urchin turned out to be just as impressive, one of the best I’ve had. The set perfectly satisfied both of my cravings in one meal. Definitely a spot I’d bring friends to, and overall such a great treat.

Delicious marinated raw crabs! So soft and fresh, yum. Leaning towards too flavorful but with the rice and banchan, it all still tastes amazing. We came on a Saturday around 4 pm and we were seated immediately. The waitress provided two dishes on the house which was really great: spicy monkfish head and a cabbage salad. Wait staff was attentive and timely. I highly recommend coming here.

I recently dined at Crab House LA and had a delightful experience! The restaurant has a homey decor that makes you feel right in Korean We ordered a variety of dishes, but the standout for me was definitely the uni – we each got our own plate and it was absolutely delicious! The seafood, especially the marinated dishes, was flavorful and well-prepared. However, we did notice that since we arrived at 9 PM, the staff started clearing up by 9:50 PM, lifting chairs and getting ready to close. While we understood the situation as we were the last table, it did feel a bit rushed. Overall, a great place for seafood lovers, especially if you’re a fan of uni!

I came here because Lisa Blackpink and it’s worth it! It’s my first time trying Korean raw crab marinated. It tastes so amazing. My favorite one is the spicy raw crab. It’s not that too spicy but it’s so flavorful and I love it at the first bite. Also the Salmon head was phenomenal. A must to try!! Only One thing that I really disappointed was the Uni rice bowl. I think it tasted nothing but the Uni was really fresh. Also our servers were really nice to us. They teach us how to eat and take care us very well.
