If you look a good proper Korean soup dish, or need some hangover remedy, definitely recommended.

Very spacious restaurant with lots of seatings. We were seated immediately on a Friday night. We all ordered the combo/mix-and-match and the portions were huge!! Loved the seaweed oyster soup and grilled mackerel. Others ordered the LA galbi which was probably one of the best we've had. So flavorful. Seafood pancake was also good. Prices were very reasonable. Staff were very friendly. Service was attentive and fast. Our Korean friend said their kimchi was one of the best she has had. No wonder the restaurant actually sells it in a jar. Only complaint is it's tiny parking in the front but street parking is also available. This restaurant definitely has become one of our favorites.

I wish she had told us this sooner, as we had to place a new order for my in-laws while we were almost done with our own food. strange that they were out of snow crab legs and dungeness crab so early in the evening and with so few customers. also the restaurant is freezing cold, dingy, and dark, which adds to the over all unpleasant dining experience. definitely skip this place!

When they first opened, it was a bit more affordable but the way the menu is now, it's way pricier. And now if you want sausage or corn, you have to pay for it as a side (they do give you a lot!). I think it does come with potatoes automatically. Their garlic noodles are a must! I like it on the side so it's not soggy or overly spicy from the sauce. I think their sauce is always good (Capt Loui sauce) and their seafood has never been soggy/overcooked whenever I ate there. I suggest going on the weekdays when it's less crazy. Oh, but Tuesdays are busy, too, because they have $1 oysters. There is definitely a super long wait for weekend dinner time. I went on a Friday around 6:00 and got seated after 30 minutes (we were only 2 people) and while I was eating, there were sooo many people waiting. I never get dessert there because the only desserts they have are beignets and funnel cake fries (with or without ice cream). And, every time I go, everyone is super nice, even when it's crazy busy. I always ask for extra gloves so that I could switch out my gloves often and they are always accommodating.

The service was consistent, only once did we have to ask for refills for water. Food: we ordered the half and half raw marinated crab, bibimbap, abalone congee and fried oysters. Raw crabs: marinated and seasoned perfectly. We aren't a spicy loving family, but this was perfect amount for us that we could handle the spice. Our lips and mouths burned, but the good tingle, not the fire breathing 911 burn. lol Fried oysters: well battered and fried, nicely aromatic Abalone congee: perfectly textured and the abalone meat and taste was present. This helped offset the spiciness of the crabs. Bibimbap: not your average clay pot type, this was on a plate and with lots of green vegetables. Also delicious! The Bon chon was different and excellent. Variety of different vegetables, pickled and fermented. We enjoyed them all. FYI: there is a small parking lot as well

Ordered three things: 1) marinated crabs, small size (5/5). Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

The restaurant itself is a little worn around the edges, and the bar area seems to be a gathering spot for locals, which can feel a bit intimidating if you're visiting from out of town. It's definitely not the place I'd choose for a romantic date night. That said, the food is absolutely worth the visit. They're known for their seafood, and it's easy to see why. The standout for me was the calamari, which completely lived up to its reputation. The rest of the meal was equally satisfying, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. If you're looking for atmosphere, there are probably better options nearby. But if your priority is excellent seafood and classic Italian cooking, this place delivers.

I found out much later that the owner was the one actually serving and cooking for us. We were able to walk in with a party of ten on labor day. Super accommodating staff, owner knows what he's doing. Never caught his name unfortunately We ordered 4 different combos and dude was able to cook for all of us at the same time. Everyone left stuffed and I even had leftovers for the next day. I didn't get to eat everything but here's what I tried. The duck combo, pork combo, nayengmen (cold noodle I butchered the spelling I know sorry) and corn cheese. They don't do the brisket sauce like they do in la. Instead I think it was a mixture of miso and vinegar? With onions soaking in it. Paired perfectly with the pork. I've never had anything like it before. The thin cut pork belly was probably my favorite out of all the pork. The marinated duck combo was pretty interesting. It kinda felt like a ttkekbokki dish? But a little light on the rice cakes. The duck itself tasted like some really good charcuterie. It was a little too spicy for me but super good. We ended up opting to throw everything into the fried rice at the end and it made for some perfect late night leftovers that I'm enjoying as I write this review. Lovely place, hope they do well.

The veggies are delicious, all the different meats are amazing, and all the little things you can add to your broth just make the whole experience so enjoyable!
