This was the best Korean food we had in Seoul by far. Service was perfect as were the crab and the ribs. Considering the quality and quantity of the food it's also super cheap. An absolutely amazing culinary experience!

How are there only 19 reviews.. this place is a hidden gem. If you’re visiting Seoul and you’re in the dongdaemun area, come here. The service is top notch, the environment is so clean and the food.. is the best. Holy goodness it’s so good.
I’m a huge fan of raw marinated crab. I typically go for the spicy marinade but we had the soy sauce marinade and now I’m converted. I’m a big soy sauce marinade fan now. This place does it right. If you’ve never had raw crab, let this be your standard.

Also the manager was so sweet. I was impressed by his hospitality.

Highly recommend.

I chose this place as it was near my accommodation and I’ve always wanted to try marinated crab. When I went to the restaurant, the atmosphere was nice, and the food was so amazing. Literally one of the best things I’ve eaten in my life. The crab was so flavourful and meaty, and the serving was very generous too. The service is great and I highly recommend this place. I will definitely come back when I go to Korea.

Found this place while craving for crab on my Bangsan market round. The crab bibimbap set meal was so good, I wished I had a second stomach to order another one. The boss was so polite and the restroom was so clean!
I will definitely come back on my next trip!
