Was super excited to try this place but it was just average :( This restaurant is known for for their raw marinated crab. I opted to go to this restaurant because of their know high quality, comparable. My friend has been wanting to try raw marinated crabs for the first time and I was already a big fan of spicy marinated raw crabs. Unfortunately, the best thing was the beef short rip soup, which might be just average compared to any of the many restaurants in Ktown. I also liked the ink rice bowl but again just standard quality. Note: we did get the prepeeled crab for the convenience but I felt this still would have been good quality. Even though the presentation was beautiful, it tasted not fresh/fishy than I think it normally should and the marinate it was in did not mask or just very light in general. The shrimp was a no for us unfortunately. Maybe the marinade was off that day but it just tasted salty. We couldn't eat another bite of it. The server noticed and was so nice to check up on us and even offered to switch it out for something else. Other notes: we went expecting a wait on a weekday but we were served right away. The restaurant's bathroom is also super nice with mouthwash and the whole works.

If you haven't gotten around to trying raw marinated crabs yet, this is your sign! Walking in, we could smell the seafood in the air, but not in a bad way. It was fresh, fragrant, and savory all at the same time. We went with the medium Master Ha's Marinated Crab with added Salmon and the Beef Short Rib Soup. Master Ha's Marinated Crab (+ Salmon): 5/5 Wow. Just wow. Everything tasted insanely fresh and was so perfectly complimented by the savory marinate. Top off your bite with a bit of rice and you're golden. The Salmon add-on was a superb idea! So buttery and melt-in-your-mouth. This set also comes with crab miso soup (one per person) which was a comforting touch. I'm gettin cravings just daydreaming back to it. Beef Short Rib Soup: 4/5 With super tender meat and a clean broth, this was a nice breather from all the seafood we were eating. Really healing and yummy!

My husband and I went here yesterday for my birthday and it was beyond what I expected. We overdid it because I let my stomach speak but it was worth it all. We had the uni bowl to share. The uni bowl does come with 3 little sides and seaweed to compliment the dish. My husband got a wagyu bowl, which also has 3 little dish, but it was different sides than the uni bowl. Lastly, we got the medium soy sauce marinated crab with salmon and uni added. This was 2 full crabs and a good amount of salmon and uni. Also, it comes with seaweed, kimchi, and kimchi radish (don't know the official name but you know what I mean). I did not try the wagyu bowl but my husband said it was amazing! The uni bowl was delicious. The uni was so fresh and the rice it came with was a little sweet but definitely compliments the uni. BUT the soy sauce marinated crab was to die for! It is given to you with plain white rice and squeezing the meat into the rice and mixing it all together was a treat! They did not skip out on the uni and salmon on that either. All in all, not only was the food amazing, the ambiance of the place was calming, and the staff was so helpful in giving you some recommendations on how to eat the dishes. Definitely a place to come back to

Came here for lunch on Saturday, there was zero wait time, and parking was easy to find around the surrounding streets (meter & free). The staffs here were all very friendly and the restaurant looked clean. We came in as a group of four people so we opted for the large marinated crab that has three whole crabs and a few marinated eggs in the dish. They also had the premium marinated crab which comes with four female crabs (more eggs) along with some other marinated goodies within the dish. We also ordered the premium uni bowl combo and a side of marinated raw shrimp. Everything tasted absolutely fresh and amazing. The marinated raw crabs is probably the best in ktown in my opinion. It was super fresh, meaty, not overly marinated, and we could taste the sweetness of the crab. Uni bowl and raw shrimp were a fun treat to devour but I highly recommend trying the marinated raw crab if you had to pick one thing to order. Our group also got the beef short rib soups and the ox bone soup with brisket. Both soups were very tasty. Overall, I highly recommend trying them out!

Raw marinated crabs (minimum order is for 2 people) WERE SO GOOD!!! Nicely plated, fresh, and delicious. I will return again just for this dish. This is what they're known for here, so if you aren't sure what to get, you can't go wrong with this one. Only downside is the price. The shrimp (4 pieces) for $10 was also super good and fresh. Would reorder. The wagyu beef bowl + steamed egg + 3 small side dishes was okay. Beef was pretty good (but pricey). Is it a must here? Not necessarily but for the price, the beef was delicious. Service was efficient. You may have to wait a little (15 mins?) if you come during peak hour.

The best marinated crab in the town! Presentation is so good as well as the food! I love how it's not too salty.

This is now one of my favorite restaurants! I haven't seen any other restaurants that present crabs so beautifully. The crabs and abalone with rice were delicious, and I especially loved the uni rice. The server was very friendly as well. I can't wait to go back!

Went again at a slower time and the service was really good. The seafood is so fresh! Love this place

Arrived during dinner time with a group of 4. We were seated within 15-20 mins. We got the soy marinated crab with salmon, uni rice, marinated shrimp, and galbi. All the seafood was so fresh and tasty! I LOVE uni and it did not disappoint, it was sweet and creamy. However, I would not get the galbi again. It was just ok and was overshadowed by all the good seafood options!! Would def recommend this place and hope to be back again.

Amazing service that is accompanied with great food. The seafood is always very fresh to me and this is my go to spot for raw crab
Great food here, crabs are super fresh. Uni is tasty as well. However the service is not that great. We asked for sesame oil but still didn't get it till we finished our food. Still rooms to improve for sure

We arrived around 6pm on a Friday night with only 15 minute wait to be seated. The modern interior design and lighting of the restaurant made the restaurant very inviting. The two of us ordered several items off the menu: -Soy Medium Marinated Whole Crab: Raw crab is interestingly fun to eat. Although this dish was a bit salty for my personal taste buds, it paired well with rice and banchan. -Uni bowl: Beautifully executed presentation, the raw quail egg added a nice texture after mixing all the ingredients together. -Beef Short Rib Soup: Soup flavor was bland and had very few meat but hot soup was nice to cleanse the palate. Service was excellent, we were checked on a few times and server gave great recommendations on how much food to order for 2 people. Uni bowl was the star of the night, will be coming back next time I am in the area.

So happy I finally got to try & it literally lives up to its expectations! The soy sauce raw marinated crab was delicious ~ I really enjoyed the egg as well :) the uni was so tasty & I loved cracking the quail egg and mixing it altogether. Everything was very fresh & the presentation was so cute :)

The crab and uni are delicious and a must order here! The restaurant is clean and cozy. The staff is very friendly and helpful, especially if it's your first time trying the Korean style raw crabs! The presentation is really pretty, the raw crab is very tasty and shareable! The only thing is I wish they had liquor license, it would go well with these delicious crabs!!
