O. DEC 4, I had A GALBIJIM here, but it came with a hair in the food. It was so disgusting and their reaction was awful. Whoever is working inside the cooking room, they are not wearing hairnet at all. And they ask me to paid full amounts of food and pay the tips. So, i have paid in full

Soy source crab is too salty, it just too much I can tell. Maybe they not know how to make it well. Because of that I couldn't taste sweet crab meat at all, on top of it, too small size than price, tast was suck, too fishy and not fresh at all. I couldn't eat at all, I just thought it away.

Ignore the bad reviews, it’s just people complaining that they couldn’t bring a dog into the restaurant.
This spot is where all the OG’s go for marinated crab. Service is always fantastic and the food is as good as my grandmas cooking.

Get the crab soup! It was recommended by a friend and she never misses. It’s definitely more of an OG flavor and vibes. I wish I wasn’t so full so I could’ve gotten the sujebi (hand pulled dough soup) in the crab soup. You know it’s real when non-Koreans complain about service on the reviews

Amazing traditional Korean crab stew and marinated raw crab. Deliciously dank. Been going for years. Great for to-go orders and eating over a few days if you’re grindin’.
Amazing service from the 이모님. Ask for the fried rice or porddige at the end with the stew leftovers.

It's such a misleading advertisement (I started following them on IG several months ago, because they seemed so good). I traveled all the way from Colorado to take my sister here for her belated birthday celebration because she loves uni and crab. The first disappointment was being informed that uni was unavailable; next, the crab we ordered was nothing like what was shown in the video--it was extremely small, so I ordered another one and they turned out to be overly salty. The agoo chim (아구찜) we ordered contained only a few pieces of fish and mostly bean sprouts. Even their side dishes (반찬) were excessively salty, with the salad being the only decent item. I wish I had taken photos of what we were actually served. Ironically, I did enjoy their rice, likely because we usually eat brown and grain rice at home for health reasons, and I was also very hungry. I don't mind spending money or even paying significantly more when the food quality is excellent and tasty (especially on this special occasion once a year for her b-day), but I feel deeply disappointed and deceived. It's disheartening to take your favorite sister out for her birthday, filled with anticipation, only to end up disappointing her.
The service was very good and the food was okay :)

5 Stars!
Ondal Crab House is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly fresh and flavorful, making it a must-visit for seafood lovers. The spicy octopus rice was outstanding—the octopus was so fresh, tender, and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat. The live uni rice bowl was another highlight, with creamy, briny uni that melted in my mouth.
Beyond the amazing seafood, their rice drinks were also a pleasant surprise—light, refreshing, and the perfect way to balance out the bold flavors of the meal. The quality of ingredients and the attention to detail in every dish truly set this place apart.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-notch seafood and a great dining experience! Will definitely be back.

Overpriced, rude, bad service. For raw crab go to crab house or master Ha. We paid $60 for ONE super salty crab and they were discriminatory towards my friend who had a documented small service animal. Will not be returning and do not recommend.

Went to LA for a trip and followed a recommendation from Chinese social media. My friends and I were excited to try marinated crab, but as soon as we entered the restaurant, a staff member told us we couldn’t bring our dog inside and could only sit at an outdoor table.
Despite repeatedly explaining that it was a service dog and showing the service dog certification and doctor’s letter, the owner acted as if they couldn’t understand or read English. They kept emphasizing, “Only blind and deaf people can qualify as disabled, and I don’t see that you have these disabilities,” “What kind of disability do you have?” “You can only dine outdoors,” “Take a good look at the notice on the wall (photo 2),” “We don’t allow emotional support dogs inside,” and “Your certificate doesn’t match the examples on our wall (photo 2), so you can’t dine indoors.”
We stayed in LA for seven days, dining at Korean, Chinese, and Japanese restaurants, all of which were accommodating and accepting of service dogs. Not a single restaurant made such ignorant, rude, offensive, and discriminatory remarks. The owner of this restaurant crudely reduced disabilities to only hearing and vision impairments, refusing to acknowledge other types of disabilities. It’s hard to imagine how someone in their right mind could say such things.
The notice on the wall reads:
[Yes! Only service dogs are allowed inside the restaurant, such as guide dogs for individuals with mobility difficulties, visual impairments, or hearing impairments. No! Emotional support dogs are not allowed inside. Even if hidden in a bag, they cannot be brought in. If this is the case, you may dine with your dog on the patio.]
Food is pretty good here
