Seating was a little tight but the food was very good! The service was great too. The food was definitely not as spicy as I thought it would be for a Korean restaurant so it’s definitely friendly for those that prefer non to low spice.Dietary restrictions: They do have non seafood options but I can’t say if it’s safe for someone with severe allergiesWheelchair accessibility: The seating was very tight so it may be difficult for someone with a mobility aid

My first time trying marinated raw crabs and it was so delicious. I had no expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. The side dishes were also very good and flavorful, especially their tteokboki. I will definitely be back ?

Craving raw Korean crab marinated in soy sauce? This is the place to try it. You eat this with rice, seed weeds. They also teach you how to eat it. The place is small and there is always a line. Weekend is always full but go on week day lunch to avoid line. Lots of parking and sometimes it has valet. Service staffs are very attentive and polite. They also had raw shrimps, abalone marinated in soy sauce and uni serviced the shell. Must try when you’re curious. You won’t be disappointed. It is really good. I’m am addicted. Delicious!!!

I got the combo 7 which is a soy marinated crab and a small sea urchin. The food was good but i tend to like my raw crab with more garlic and ginger in the marinade. The sides were really good. I liked the rice cake the most. The tea they served with the meal was a good addition flavor wise to the meal.

Most people that come usually come for the marinated crab, but I come for the crab soup. The crab is super tender and it goes so well with rice. Raw crab is good too but if you have a chance, you should try their soup. It's not overwhelmingly spicy nor crabby.

A very pricey seafood place but rightfully so. Their marinated raw crab is a must try experience. The uni bowl is fresh and amazing! The place is quite small so expect to wait during peak hours.

I stopped by Crab House for lunch for the first time after a busy night, and it definitely didn't disappoint. I've heard so many good things about this place, and now I can say that they're true! My friends and I each got the $40 combo which came with 2 blue crabs and an uni bowl. In addition to the rice and side dishes, I would definitely be able to share one combo with another person for a lighter meal. The seafood was super fresh and did not smell fishy at all. Each bite was packed with flavor and the variety of the combo never let the meal get boring. Depending on the time and day, there might be valet, so parking is not too much of a problem. Definitely come here for some korean raw marinated crab or uni bowls!

I had very high expectations coming here since it seemed quite popular on social media. The crab we ordered was super small for the price we paid and the flavor profile wasn't as unique or delicious as I thought it could be. Maybe I'm just not a fan of the raw crab mouth feel, but I was pretty disappointed.
