    Assortment $99
    Rena Y.

    Quick and casual dining experience for amazing food. I ordered the assortment seafood item for $99 before tax and tip. Its large enough to feed 4 people which is a great deal! The good comes with rice and korean banchan (side dishes). Its something I grew up eating as a child, so it definitely made me feel nostalgic. Would definitely come back when i'm in town!

    My first time trying raw marinated soy crab. Now I can check it off my list. At least we tried it once. We also tried army stew for the 1st time. Fast and friendly service. My fav is actually the selection of the free side dishes. The fishcake, jelly fish, kimchi, tomato one.

    - Great price for what you're getting - Place is smaller than expected but took in a table of 7 very quickly and easily on a Sunday around 6:30 pm - Nice and causal vibe - Service is great and attentive - Soups came piping hot and quickly - Beef kalguksu was super savory and full of umami - Preferred the spicy marinated crab over soy marinated because the soy is a bit salty. Wasn't wowwed by the abalone - Loved the soy marinated salmon the most - flavorful and fresh - Meaty and fresh dumplings - lovee the banchan esp the pasta salad!

    This is one of the few restaurants in the area that serves raw marinated crab and specialize in a variety of other seafoods as well. We got their combo that included a crab, salmon, shrimp and abalone. The seafood here is extremely fresh and very well marinated. The seafood has been soaking long enough for the flavors to penetrate all the way through. My favorite piece in particular was the salmon. They also have other dishes like Korean army stew and Kalguksu that we tried which were solid. I will say the restaurant is on the smaller side so there may be a wait but it is definitely worth it for some great seafood! Entrees: Assorted Jang (Spicy Crab and Soy Sauce Marinated Crab, Salmon, Shrimp and Abalone) Sides: Kalguksu (Clam noodle soup) and Korean Army Stew

    I can't believe how good of a deal this is. In LA, we pay about $50 for one raw marinated crab. I came with by brother and I think we paid $54 and it came with like 6 crabs (a combo of soy and spicy). It also came with a good amount of side dishes. Restaurant is on the small side but service is quick and fast.

    Another amazing meal here. What more can you ask for. Really nice staff, fast, and delicious. Our goal is to try a new item every time we visit.

    Their specialty is the raw marinated crab and seafood. Came on a Friday night with a group of 4 people. We had to wait for a table for about 30 minutes. They don't take reservations ahead. It was our first time so we wanted to try everything. We got the set combo which includes marinated and soy crab, soy salmon and shrimp and abalone. Between all of them, the salmon and soy crab were my favorite. The blue crabs were on the smaller side. Lots of banchan came with the order. Hard to find parking during peak hours and weekends.

    I watch a lot of videos of raw marinated crabs. Tried out GJ2 4U with my siblings and it was pretty good! We got the assorted set and a kalguksu to share. Everything was delicious! The salmon and raw shrimp were tender with a light soy flavor. The abalone was mild and sweet. The crabs were my favorite. The soy and spicy had different flavor profiles. Soy marinated crabs were light in taste but creamy in texture. Perfect to eat on top of the rice. The spicy was pretty spicy for me and I could only eat a couple and switched between the soy and spicy. Overall pretty solid meal, and I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu

    I had an amazing experience here!! We went as a party of four and got the half and half combo of spicy & soy raw marinated crabs. We also got an order of the spicy salmon and it was the perfect amount for all of us. The total came out to be around $100 with tax and tips! Very decently priced for being able to feed 4 in my opinion. The staff was very helpful in deciding and was very quick with any refills or anything that we may have needed. I am already planning my trip back here!

    Leah K.

    The soy marinated crab was good and portion is worth the $$. Lots of banchan came with the order. Also order kalguksu for those who don't eat the raw crab. Staff were attentive and helpful and the place had enough seats for small and larger groups. Parking available in the shopping center

    no need to go to korea anymore to try marinated raw crabs! This spot has delicious authentic soy and spicy marinated raw crabs as well as other seafoods like salmon, abalone, and shrimp! They also sell korean dishes like kalgooksoo (noodles in anchovy broth) and budae jjigae (army stew) which were both delicious and packed with flavor! I LOVED this spot and will definitely be back! the soy marinated raw crabs were my favorite - better than the ones I had in korea

    You will be consuming a lot of raw seafood. They do have some cooked noodle dishes and other entrees but their specialty is the raw marinated crab and seafood. This was my first time trying it so I did not know what to expect in terms of taste, etc. The restaurant is medium sized. More on the smaller side, considering how popular it is. They only have tables that would fit 5 comfortably. If you have more than 5, you'd have to wait for them to combine tables. We waited about 30-40 minutes on a Friday night. My final thoughts - between the crab, salmon, shrimp and spicy crab, the salmon and shrimp were my favorite. The marinate does not provide flavoring like I expected it to. It was very underwhelming. However, the salmon and shrimp provided the more "meatier" texture if that's what you prefer. The crab doesn't give you much. It's more for the experience, in my opinion.

    I heard about this place from a friend who used to get marinated crabs from the owner before she opened the brick and mortar. We opted for the combo of the soy sauce crab, spicy crab, salmon, abalone, and shrimp. Everything was great! Word of warning for those who haven't tried this before, it's all raw (but expertly marinated). We wanted to try everything since it was our first visit. If I were to come back, I'd get the half and half soy sauce and spicy crabs. My only critiques right now are the menu layout is not very intuitive (especially if you haven't had cuisine like this before). I also felt like the service was so-so and not friendly. This was during lunch on Sunday. It wasn't super busy but it took a while for the staff to give us the menu, refill water and side dishes after being asked, and etc. I love that a restaurant serving this cuisine is here in NoVA. I hope it stays and we will be back!

Drinks were very weak. I ordered a large margarita because I was planning on only one drink, but it was overly sweet and I didn't taste any tequila. It also took them a very long time to bring out the drinks. I ordered flautas which were supposed to be served with tomato and avocado and sides of rice and beans along with sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. When my food came out, there were no avocado, tomato, rice, or beans. At this point I was just kind of over it and wanted to get out of there. My husband got a chimchanga, but the rice was unseasoned and cold, and the beans were cold. There were gambling machines in the restaurant, and it sort of looked like they were in the middle of a renovation. The walls were half painted and there were no decor aside from Frida Kahlo looking down on us. It evidently was a "hidden gem" but these days it's more of "trash out in the open."

However, it took a while for our server to acknowledge us, even though she had passed our table several times. We decided on the AYCE menu, which allowed us to order up to 5 rounds, with premium items limited to one order. Our group only made it through 2 rounds. The food came out relatively fast, and the standouts were the chicken hibachi, popcorn shrimp, and premium sushi. The restaurant itself was pretty, trendy, and seemed like a cool place to visit, but the food was nothing too special, especially for the price. I would definitely come back and give it another try for a better experience.

We went and got the AYCE premium menu (which is ridiculous that you have to choose the premium for nigiri and sashimi but whatever), and upon seating they give you a paper menu to write down your order. We got their premium box which is like $25 or $26 off of their à la cart menu and while it's super pretty to look at it was disgusting. The Wagyu was thick, slimy, and chewy and made me want to throw up. The toro had wayyyyy too much wasabi in it and felt like torture to eat. The other two pieces were ok but if I paid à la for it I'd be PISSED. The rolls and nigiri and sashimi were a mixed bag, some were okay, some were slimy, and some were just dry. The cooked food was decent but not very flavorful, my siblings favorite dish of the night was the cooked bulgogi which I found to be chewy and you guessed it, flavorless. Service left much to be desired, there's an hour 30 minute time limit on AYCE and you get four rounds total. They take your paper in the back to put in your order and don't bring it back out until all of your order has come out(which fair), but it takes about 30ish minutes per round and having to flag someone down to take your paper back is a pain. I think if they had tablets or maybe a call button that would be better? Unsure. Regardless the food quality needs a major upgrade to make it worth the price.

It's also located right next to a bingsoo (korean shaved ice) spot! Overall rating: 7/10

I really enjoyed my meal! The preparation of the fish was perfect. The skin was crispy, lightly seasoned just like in Greece. It's the closest thing to Greek food I've had here, at least in regards to the dish. The lamb shank was alright aromas and flavor could've been a little stronger for the red sauce. I was also happy that none of the seafood had a fishy taste to it. They also deboned the branzino. The fish also had a lot of meat so I felt as though I got my moneys worth.
