Super super fresh seafood and 100% worth the price. We got the medium crab set with uni add-on, and we ordered a side of the raw marinated shrimp. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! I've never had soy marinated crab and it altered my brain chemistry. Eating it with the rice and seaweed was life-changing. I also love that the miso soup is made with crab too!! The service was also amazing. We placed our order before we got seated and the woman helping us was so nice and answered all of our questions with great detail. The servers were attentive and we never waited for anything that we needed! I will definitely be saving my money just to come eat here again! Definitely try this place if you love seafood. read more

Worth every single penny! So absolutely delicious. The crab was PERFECTLY marinated and service was superb! Such great service, so polite and have such great recommendations. And definitely get the shrimp! I got the spicy and soy shrimp, get both!!! Mmm! I highly recommend this spot - bill came out to about $250 and I'm going to come eat here again this week because I can't stop thinking about how good it was- it's worth every bit!! read more

I had been craving raw marinated crab for ages. Literally my first meal after landing in LA. My friend and I made the mistake of ordering the premium for 2 people, as well as uni. The bill was quite high. I think for 2 people who love seafood, the medium with uni add on would've been perfect. The restaurant does smell a bit like seafood, so if you have friends that don't like seafood, best not bring them. read more

I've been eyeing this place for a while and finally got a chance to try it with some friends. I've been to most of the gejang spots in KTown, so I was pretty hyped to check this one out. They specialize in gejang (marinated raw crab). We went with the Premium set which is around $199. It comes with 4 whole Korean female crabs loaded with roe. They cut everything up so it's easy to share, and it also includes 4 marinated raw shrimp and 4 marinated hard boiled eggs. You also get complimentary crab miso soup and banchan. We added a premium sea urchin as well which was about $75. It's basically two whole uni split into four portions with ikura, tobiko, and rice. The uni was super fresh and tasted really clean. The crab here is really good. Honestly might be my favorite gejang spot in KTown right now. The shrimp was also really solid. I actually really liked the crab miso soup too. They say it's unlimited, but when I asked for another round it never came. Overall this place was bussin. It's definitely one of the more expensive spots in KTown for gejang, but the quality is there. They were also on the Michelin Guide in 2019, which makes sense after trying it. I'd definitely come back again. read more

During our recent trip to Korea, my wife indulged too much and was unable to eat gangjang gejang---one of her favorite foods to eat. She requested to eat raw crab for her birthday, and trusty Yelp came to the rescue. Master Ha was rated very highly on the Yelp platform, but was it because of promotional offers (I.e leave us a five star review and get a free something) or was it just that good? It was time to find out. We entered the establishment and were greeted by two friendly workers. One of them seated us; the other explained the menu. The interior was very clean with kpop music. My wife was very happy with how often BTS' music played. We opted for the premium raw crab which included female crabs (roe) and raw shrimp; uni bowl; sullungtang; wagyu handroll; and uni handroll. The person explaining the menu even offered extra noodles with the beef soup since he noticed we had two kids. Within about fifteen minutes, banchan came flying out of the kitchen. This included marinated perilla leaf, kimchi, radish kimchi, spicy marinated crab, and egg. The handrolls arrived shortly after, and we were advised to eat those right away before the nori got soggy. I ordered the wagyu handroll which had pieces of ikura to balance the savory wagyu but sorta accidentally ended up stealing my wife's uni handroll because it was too buttery, creamy, and delicious. The uni bowl was served with sliced raw shrimp, an abundance of uni, and soy sauce egg. Instead of regular white rice, there was fried rice served with quail egg. Combined with nori, this dish was stellar although white rice would have been fine as well. The star of the show was definitely the raw crab--perfectly brined in soy sauce complimenting the subtly sweet raw crab bursting with roe. It brought me straight back to Korea and my wife even mentioned that it was possibly better than Korea. Master Ha is the final destination for Ganjang gejang in Los Angeles. There is just no use looking anywhere else. read more

Finally got to try the raw marinated crabs here. They were delicious!! Tried the spicy marinated one and it was so flavorful. Pairs great with rice and seaweed. It does get messy but they provide gloves for you! Quality of the crabs were good - super fresh. Also tried the Galbi and it was well marinated and tender. Everything was really good. And portions are good too! Service was great and friendly. They are a Michelin Guide restaurant. read more

​I was told that winter is the prime time to eat raw Korean marinated crab for the best quality and flavor, so I flew down from San Francisco specifically to visit Master Ha--and they did not disappoint! ​The "Premium" Experience We went all out and ordered the premium set, and it was absolutely glorious. A collective "oooooooh" went around the table when the large dish of marinated crab arrived. It was stunning--adorned with edible flowers, ikura, and gold leaf. ​The crab halves were bursting with savory lipids and roe. The set also included: ​Two savory, addictive "drug eggs" (soy-marinated eggs). ​Four marinated raw shrimp. ​Four crab shells packed with creamy crab mustard (tomalley). ​How to Eat It They provide gloves so you can really get your hands dirty. You pick up the crab, squeeze the gelatinous, translucent marinated meat onto your rice, scoop it onto a sheet of seaweed with a spoonful of crab mustard, and stuff it into your mouth in one bite. The flavors were amazing--the crab sang with the sweetness of the ocean, paired with a perfect, savory marinade that wasn't overly salty. I had to work hard to portion my rice just right so I wouldn't fill up before finishing the crab! ​Banchan & Extras The meal was served with excellent banchan: cabbage kimchi, perilla leaf kimchi, radish kimchi, spicy raw crab, and a fantastic crab miso soup (I had to order a second one, which was complementary!). The toppings--crispy seaweed, sesame oil, and furikake--were perfect for making DIY handrolls. ​Live Uni We also had the live uni, served in huge shell halves filled with rice, luscious sweet uni, ikura, tobiko, caviar, a quail egg, and gold leaves. It was incredibly creamy, rich, and delicious. ​Final Verdict If you want an amazing Korean raw marinated crab experience, come to Master Ha. It is worth the trip! read more

Fantastic meal and a must go if you love raw marinated crab! I came here with a friend on a weeknight and we ended up having to wait 30-40 minutes, but service was as efficient as possible getting us in and we ordered while outside to minimize time wasted inside. Interior felt clean and modern - it was a well-lit space and felt a little cozy. The food itself was high quality - huge crabs and tasty uni as well as a nice soup. We got the uni mainly due to its appearance as it looked amazing in shell - the price though is likely not worth it. This spot is incredibly pricy so I would recommend only coming here if you're comfortable with paying exorbitant prices. Overall, the meal was nice and I'm glad I stopped by. Due to its price, I can't guarantee I'd come back soon, but I highly recommend it for those looking for a nice meal! read more

Exquisite seafood meal at Master Ha. The marinated crab and sea urchin were rich, very fresh and delectable. Everything tasted clean without any fishiness whatsoever. We arrived early and were seated immediately. Our order was prepared quickly. In and out in under an hour. Nice clean restaurant. Only thing is that food is pricey and there is no alcohol service here. Thats why this is a 4 star review. read more

Was there around 9:18 pm. I asked if I can still dine in and the response was yes with attitude to be honest. Once I received the menu, he said 9:30 is our last call so I ordered quick and ate fast. Food was great especially soy marinated crab was not too salty. Though I dined alone, I spent almost $100 plus tip so I took one star out because of the service. That's it. read more

Finally had my marinated crab at ktown! It's a little pricy about $70-80 pp, but I'd definitely visit again! 10/10 marinated crab, live uni and steamed egg. Ordered the regular marinated crab. The premium option gives you all female crabs, but honestly we were very happy with the regular already, since they are soooo delicious. It sounds scary, raw crab? But don't be scared! First of all, they are super fresh! No weird fishy smell at all. The sweet and umami sauce actually goes so well with the rice too. And they give you complimentary hearty miso soup. And because they are so well marinated, it's so easy to eat. You just have a bite and sip the meat out of the shell like drinking a boba! And huh, the long lasting rich fermentation from the soy sauce, the meaty satisfaction from the crab meat, and the sweetness and umami flavor from the ocean, they just make you so happy! The price tag of the uni bowl is a little intimidating, but it is insanely pretty. First time having food with edible gold on top too haha. 100% delicious, but less impressive than the marinated crab, so if you don't want to break the bank, it's okay to skip this. Also, Master Ha has really attentive service. The waiter explained patiently to us the differences between different crab and uni options (which is a little confusing on their menu) and even pointed to us where we can get free parking. And yes, for a restaurant in ktown, this place is not that hard to find parking (but we did come on a Thursday). Street parking is free at night, and at the other side of the street, parking is free without the need of a permit too. Also, weeekday is so chill! So didn't have to wait on a Thursday too It's a very rewarding adventure. Hoping to return again! read more

Master Ha! This is my go to spot for raw spicy crab and fresh uni. Everything is so flavorful. Make sure to get the raw shrimp too. If you have 3 people, you'll all be eyeing each other to see who gets the 4th Uni since 4 come in an order. We got the med. spicy raw crab. It's just the right amount of spice, but full of flavor. Once done, you can make crab rice using the tamale of the crab plus all the condiments that completes the meal and fills your belly! The space has a good amount of tables and is very clean and modern. I like that they have a solo sink next to the dining room to do a quick rinse of your hands. Service is excellent too. If a weekend, I would suggest getting there early as it could get crowded. In addition to the lot, there is also street parking nearby. If you have out of town guests, this is a great spot to introduce them to raw seafood that's not sushi. read more

Ha Sun Saeng is such a hidden gem for Korean seafood lovers. The highlight for me was definitely the marinated crab and shrimp. Both were incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. The crab had that perfect rich, savory marinade that soaks into every bite, while the shrimp were sweet, tender, and just as addictive. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. If you're into raw marinated seafood, this spot absolutely delivers. I'm already craving it again and can't wait to come back. read more

Food Delicious! My family and I got the premium marinated crab, premium uni bowl combo, and bbq short rib specialty. All ingredients were fresh and flavorful, but my favorites were of course the crab and the uni. Both seafood dishes came with rice, sides, and ingredients to make mini wraps. The rice for the crab was white rice while the rice for the uni was more of a flavorful rice with seeds, sesame oil, quail egg, and some veggies. I recommend coming here with a few friends in order to try more foods and share the big portions. Service The employees were very nice and accommodating. It was our first time and they took their time to explain the menu to us. They continuously checked up on us and were so friendly. Ambience We arrived around 12PM on a Saturday. There were a good number of customers but still open tables left. The restaurants itself is very clean and modern. There's also a hand washing station for those who only need wash and not use the restroom. The parking lot is quite small but there is street parking nearby! read more

Came here for the soy raw marinated crabs and abalone, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. So fresh, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the meal--worth coming back for alone. The dishes were also beautifully plated, which made the experience even better. We also ordered the Wagyu beef bowl, which was just okay for us. The beef was a bit chewy for our liking. On the other hand, the banchan were delicious and well-executed. We tried the Galbitang as well, but it was a little too over the top for our preference. We tend to enjoy a more simple, classic Galbitang with just the bones. That said, the kids enjoyed it, so it still worked out. Service was excellent--staff were super friendly and kind. The ambiance is simple, minimalistic, and very clean, which we appreciated. Parking can be a bit of a pain. If you're lucky, there's paid parking in the complex; otherwise, street parking is your best bet. We went right before 5pm on a Saturday and snagged one available stall in the complex for $5. Overall, I would definitely come back. The soy raw marinated crabs alone make this place worth the visit and totally live up to the hype. read more

This is the place to get soy marinated raw crab. Hands down. The presentation and taste were excellent. Be prepared to let your wallet loose. I was here with a large party. They do not take reservations, so they recommended us to arrive early like 5:30 PM to avoid a long wait time. They were right because we got seated right away. By the time we left, there were at least four parties waiting. They give you an ordering form, so you mark how many and what you want. For 12 people, we split the following: 1 premium marinated crab $199.99 2 large spicy crab $149.99x2 1 premium live uni $64.99 1 sullungtang $19.99 2 galbi tang $24.99x2 The regular crab was better than the spicy. I wouldn't get spicy crab next time. The uni was so so good. The soups we got were also really tasty. Our servers didn't give us gloves, so we had to ask for them. I feel like they were not showing that Korean respect for elders iykyk. It's a familiar thing I see in restaurants in ktown.

Must stop by here every time I am in Los Angeles. The best raw marinated crab. They do it all well: raw crab, shrimp, abalone, uni, etc. Their live uni rice bowl comes in the shell, it looks beautiful and tastes even better. The raw crab platter comes with black crabs, a fried soft shell crab and crab meat on the shell to mix with the rice and other accoutrements. Their banchan includes kimchi, radish kimchi, some pieces of marinated crab, and marinated perilla leaves. They also serve rice and crab miso soup and seaweed. This place is raw seafood heaven. Everything is super fresh and doesn't have that fishy smell at all. The service is always great and the place is always clean. They have a handwashing station if you just need to wash your hands. Their bathroom also comes equipped with mouthwash. read more

If you are a fan of Gejang (Korean marinated raw crab), Master Ha is the absolute truth. I've only done takeout from here so far, but even as a "to-go" experience, it blew me away. The Highlights: * The Variety: I went all out and tried the Soy Marinated Crab, the Spicy Crab, the Oyster, and the Uni. Every single item was incredibly fresh and high-quality. * The "Best Value" Hack: If you want the best bang for your buck, the handroll and small bowl options are the way to go. You get that premium taste without the massive "full dinner" price tag. * The Texture: The Uni was buttery, and the crab meat was sweet and succulent. It's clear they aren't cutting corners on their sourcing. The Packaging: I have to give a huge shoutout to their to-go packaging. It is very nice, sleek, and secure--which is crucial when you're dealing with marinated seafood. No leaks, no mess, just pure deliciousness when you get it home. The Verdict: It is rare to find raw seafood takeout that feels this "premium." It was money well spent and is a total "must-try" if you are in the K-Town area. This place lives up to the hype! read more

Interior is open and clean. Theres a sink in the main dining area to wash your hands afterwards as well as mouthwash in the restrooms. Staff is very nice and helpful. Ordered the medium marinated crab with salmon and shrimp. Medium came with 2 heads and 3 pairs of legs, rice, and miso soup. The miso soup had crab in it and it tastes like the ocean. At first taste, warm, it was really tasty but after eating everything else, the flavor was so overwhelming i wished it was regular miso. Crab, salmon, shrimp were all amazing. Eating it with the pickles was a great flavor/texture contrast. Excited to try the rest of the menu! read more

UPDATE. I'm back in LA and I had to stop by my favorite spot in ktown. I came right when they opened so there was no wait. I ordered the live Uni w/shell and the raw marinated crab w/Uni. They also give you an assorted banchan that comes w/perilla leaf, kimchi, radish, and spicy marinated crab. You also get a Miso soup. Everything was so fresh, the quality is still top tier. The Uni is so creamy. Every spoonful was an explosion of flavor. The raw marinated crab is a nice balance between sweet and savory. The umami like flavor adds even more depth. I will always stop by this place if I'm in ktown. Can't wait till the next time I come back. :) read more

Hands down the best raw marinated crab I've ever had in my life. My friend and I came here on a Friday night around 5:30 PM. I was pleased to see that there was no wait and we were seated right away. Between the both of us (I tend to overorder) - we ordered the spicy raw marinated crab, the Uni, and the oxtail soup. Everything was delightful fresh and delicious. The raw marinated crab was perfectly seasoned, the oxtail soup really hit the spot since it was raining yesterday, and the Uni was by far the best I've ever had. All three dishes with amazing banchan! Our server, Sun, went above and beyond to ensure that our experience here was nothing less than perfect! I appreciate her so much!

Everything here is done with so much care -- the restaurant is spotless, the service is kind and generous, and you can really feel the attention to detail in every dish. I seriously crave this place all the time. I just wish I lived closer! Korean raw crabs will always have my heart. read more

For what felt like years, I've wanted to try Korean raw marinated crab. Recently, for no specific reason, I was really craving it although I had never had it, so like a moth drawn to the light, I found myself driving early Saturday to come to Master Ha around 11:30 am, hoping to dodge the LA parking madness. And indeed I did because when I arrived, there was plenty of parking in the plaza. Phew! Things are already looking good for my first time. Inside Master Ha, the spot looks clean and fresh. One of the staff told me I was free to pick any table I wanted for our party of two. After we sat down, he brought two paper menus to us. I came with a plan - either do the whole raw crab platter or do the combo bowl and a soup. The server was really helpful with all the questions I had. Finally decided and went with these items: -Raw marinated crab combo meal ($39.99) 10/10 So yummy and amazing! Crab comes deshelled, which makes it less work for lazy people like me. The combo meal comes with a variety of this and that, which we loved! And geez, the presentation is beautiful! The rice is presented with sprouts, edible flowers with a quail egg sitting the middle. The raw crab is served with a few raw marinated shrimp, half a boiled egg, steamed egg, two different sides of pickled radish and seaweed. The meal also came with bachans - Napa kimchi, radish kimchi and a side of spicy marinated crab and a marinated leaf thing. Delicious and I was really just blown away. Tasted light and healthy too! -Beef short rib soup ($24.99) 8/10 Pieces of short rib were so tender. Yum! Soup was flavorful but wasn't milky at the top - I was disappointed b/c I really wanted the collagen. But it was tasty nonetheless and I really appreciated how they gave each of us a bowl of rice (so. Total of two bowls of rice) so we didn't have to share and could have our bowl of rice to enjoy. Service also exceeded my expectations. They were attentive and courteous and also, just very generous and hospitable. Truly had an amazing dining experience here. I will be coming back for sure. read more

Enjoyed the medium size, spicy raw crab with all of the little side dishes that it came with. The dinner was about $100 for everything pictured but we were definitely full by the end of the it.

Another 5 Star Review 2 Years later... Dined October 31, 2025 Updated Review Posted November 13, 2025 Ha Sun Saeng - Master Ha's consistency/improvement after years since coming back is just the ultimate achievement in my book. For those who have not been here, regardless of the price point, I am not kidding you, it's absolutely worth it here. This isn't a restaurant focusing on solely presentation for the gram, the actual quality is there in terms of all food, experience and service! I want to say I am super thankful that my group of 7 to 8 of us were able to get seated right away, because I distinctly remember Java few years back, there were LINES. The interior is pristine so that's how I know they care for their establishment. The staff is also phenomenal and friendly. I literally cannot wait until I come back!

The server was also well versed in the history of the restaurant and answered all my questions. He also had pictures ready of the menu to answer any questions. I got the marinated crab combo, which was perfect for one person. On the plus side, they also de-shell it for you. It came with rice and side dishes including a crab miso soup, steam egg, marinated egg and marinated shrimp. I would definitely come back to try the uni.

I'm sure Master Ha doesn't need another review, but this place truly does not disappoint. Oh. My. Gosh. The medium soy-marinated crab was so good.. sweet, rich, and perfectly balanced. Absolutely worth it. The shrimp is a must as well. It's beautifully marinated and incredibly fresh. The seolleongtang is really good too even though this place is known for their crab. the broth was outstanding. It has that deep rich, comforting, and clean tasting without being heavy. The best way I can describe it is soulful and satisfying, the kind of soup that you want on a cold day. Highly recommend! read more

I truly wish I would have visited sooner! The food was fresh and unparalleled, the staff was attentive and prompt, and the ambiance was peaceful! Shoutout to our staff who constantly filled our water carafe, attended to our needs, and carefully explained how to eat each dish! Although there were only two bathroom stalls, they were kept nice and clean with room fragrances and constant attention. They even provided mouthwash and cups in the bathroom for you to use after your meal! Onto the food... They started off by serving us miso soup and banchan. Our table, however, was quickly overtaken with all the dishes we ordered. The first to come out was the marinated crab. We ordered the medium size, and it was enough to fill the four of us. They provided scissors to help cut open the crabs. The crab was so fresh, cool, and the sauces didn't overpower the taste of the meat. Would definitely order this again. The next to come out was the premium live uni. It came in four pieces and had rice, roe, a raw quail egg, micro greens, and plenty of uni in each bowl. It was very easy to eat and wasn't messy. The uni was fresh and very soft. The spicy crab bowl came out last and had steamed egg, boiled egg, and roe on the side. It also came with a fried egg on top and seaweed seasonings on the side. You actually got a good amount for the price of this, too! Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for those seeking a fantastic raw, marinated crab and uni experience. It is on the pricier side, but you pay for good quality, quantity, and service! The meal was more than enough for four girls, but we walked out satisfied and impressed with our experience. Will visit again when I visit LA. read more

Truly the master of raw marinated crabs!! Got lucky and was able to walk in at 5pm and got seated immediately on a Saturday. There was a wait starting around 6pm. There is a good amount of seating but raw marinated crabs does take a while to eat. We got the medium soy marinated, medium spicy marinated, and the soy marinated shrimps! Although I came for the crab, the shrimps are lowkey my favorite thing here. Everything was so yummy but I was blown away with everything that came with the spicy marinated crabs! It came with bibimbap as a set and even a deep fried crab. My palate still gravitates towards the classic soy marinated crabs though. Free miso soup was also scrumptious and the bits of crab made the soup so much more umami!! read more

All the dishes were beautifully presented dishes and tasted delicious! Service was great and the workers were attentive and informative with the menu items since our group was unsure on some dishes. My friends and I started out with the Miso Soup, which had the usual ingredients (tofu, seaweed) but I liked how they added crab (and the shells) to the soup. This was a great start to our meal. After that, we received the Medium Marinated Crab. The marinade was refreshing, not overly salty. It paired really well with the raw crab- I liked how it didn't overpower the natural flavors. The Spicy Marinated Crab Combo was presented nicely and was a great way to fill up your appetite. I think the spicy marinade might be the same as their kimchi- it had the same spice level. The last dish we ordered was the Premium Live Uni. This was so good and a great way to end the meal- especially after eating the spicy marinated crab combo. This was very refreshing and had the perfect portion for the four of us. There was a generous amount of Uni in the shells and it was so fresh and buttery. The gold flakes were a nice touch. Definitely recommend getting this dish at least once! read more

Recommended by a friend who said this is her go-to spot whenever she visits LA, and it did not disappoint! We came around 11:30am to avoid the wait, and I'm so glad we did. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and has a nice casual vibe. The staff were super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Now onto the food... absolutely amazing! We ordered the marinated crab, spicy shrimp, live uni, and mini rice bowls. Everything was above and beyond. The marinated crab was hands down the best I've ever tried, perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. The live uni was a standout too, served with soup that tied everything together beautifully. I also loved the spicy shrimp, mixed it with rice and seaweed for the perfect bite (though my friend thought the original flavor was even better). Overall, it was a 10/10 experience. Delicious food, great service, and a spot I'll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend! read more
