    Food is good. Service is way too slow. Every menu u order takes 20 minutes or more. AC isn't working well the restaurant is way too hot. I was waiting in front of fire for about 30 minutes because the food wasn't coming out. We order rice and it's not even one person portion.

    best eel i've ever had. came back twice in 5 days. Super low key spot, this place needs to get more business because i'm gonna need this place to stay in business forever. Ordered the grilled Eel and cold noodles. So fire. we ordered a second eel and they gave us an extra one. The grill has charcoals in it and it really elevates the flavors. the Mung bean pancake is so crispy too. my only wish is that there was also one in Long Beach. haha

    Recommended by my friend. When I first walked in, it was full of people. When I sat down, the server came right away and took our order. He gave us recommendations to what to order. 2 orders of bbq eel seemed bit too little but when we finished, it was alot. Three of us were full. We also ordered steamed egg but honestly didn't meet my expectation. We also had kimchi noodle and it was surprising good after all that protein. Sides dishes, the fresh sliced garlic and ssam veggies were refilled unlimited. At the beginning, I thought price was bit high but after I ate the food, the price was very reasonable. For serive, our waiter was super friendly, easy to talk to and very professional. I highly recommend this place if you like fresh eel.

    Eel Village (장어 마을) charcoal-grilled eel and Korean BBQ. Walking into Eel Village, the air is thick with the tantalizing aroma of charcoal smoke and sizzling meat, instantly setting the stage for a memorable Korean BBQ experience. The star of the menu, the charcoal-grilled eel, arrives at the table, juicy and ready to finish cooking on your table top charcoal grill. Their short ribs are tender and flavorful. Vibrant banchan, cozy vibe, great portions. Finish it off with Cold Buckwheat Noodles. Service for our table was great. Very attentative even though they were busy. This is not all you can eat. Check out the menu and you will realise how affordable and tasty this place can be.

    Ordered two orders of the grilled eel, which they said is their most popular item (one eel is $50). The service here is amazing, they threw in a third free eel for us because one of the eels was apparently small even though it looked normal size and also had complimentary stew at the end. This amount was perfect for two of us without feeling too full. This is our first time trying Korean grilled eel. They grill and cut it for you and it's nice and crispy on the outside and soft/jelly like on the inside. They gave us multiple types of wraps including lettuce wraps, perilla leaf wraps, and some sort of pre marinate perilla leaf wrap. I enjoyed it the most with lettuce and wasn't a huge fan of the perilla leaves. They also come with different dipping sauces as well (one that came with the lettuce/perilla leaves which was a bit salty, eel sauce, and a spicy eel sauce. The banchan here is also good. Parking is easy as it's located in a food plaza.

    After walking around and exploring The Source OC plaza, particularly on a hot summer day, we were…read morecraving something cool to consume and being in a Korean entertainment complex, a Korean seafood restaurant was the right choice. Venice Beach is known for their seafood to be imported directly from Korea so that they can provide authenticity to their Korean seafood dishes. Many of their seafood choices include abalone, sea urchin, live octopus and crab and many more and their main focus is primarily cold seafood dishes. We were first given a starter which was a Steamed Egg dish then we ordered a Large Assorted Sashimi Platter Combo for four which included Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, Halibut, Rockfish and Red Seabream. Many of the side dishes that we ordered were the Soy Sauce Shrimp, Steamed Octopus Tentacles, Spicy Marinated Crab, Abalone, Sea Cucumber, Conch, and Ankimo (Monkfish Liver). Unfortunately, they ran out of Live Octopus Tentacles (Sannakji) which we were informed wouldn't arrive until the next day. The combo also included a large Spicy Crab Soup as well. Throughout our meal, the staff kept giving us "service" dishes, which in Korean restaurant culture, are "on-the-house" dishes given by the owner. Some of the dishes we received included Corn Cheese, assorted Tempura, Sweet Shrimp Sashimi, Shrimp Head Tempura (made from the Sweet Shrimp Sashimi), Steamed Conch, Grilled Spicy Mackerel, Grilled Mackerel Head, Sea Urchin (Uni) Roe with Rice, and Abalone Mulhoe/Mulhae/Mulhwae (물회) a Korean cold seafood soup. The food was incredible and we were extremely grateful for their hospitality. While many are more familiar with Japanese seafood, Korean seafood is in a class of its own. It is underrated and deserves just as much recognition as their Japanese counterpart. While the Japanese seafood stereotype we see in the West focus mostly on fish, Korean seafood tends to focus on mollusks, echinoderms, and other invertebrates. So the next time you're in the mood for fresh seafood, skip that Western Japanese sushi restaurant that serves California Rolls and give authentic Korean seafood a try because then you'll realize there are more edible sea creatures under the sea.

    Came here to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday…read more Our party had 3 people and we came for an early dinner on a weekday. There was maybe one or two other parties there. Their menu specializes in Korean style premium seafood items. They have the option of live or not. They had different set options and items you can get a la carte. We went with their live fish and sashimi set C. We also got some live shrimp and live octopus to try. I love that the staff was super knowledgeable and explained everything to us. The live set included a lot of side dishes. It also included halibut and flounder, a platter of abalone, sea cucumber, cold soup, hot fish soup, calamari and vegetable tempura. All of which were amazing and tasted very fresh. The live octopus was definitely an experience. They tasted fresh and sweet and were very actively moving. If you want to try it I would definitely recommend trying it here. The chef was nice enough to have us try two types of nigiri. Both were amazing and fatty. The whole dinner was quite an experience. Since there were so many dishes they made sure to go in order but not rush us since many items were coming out. The staff was super attentive. Many items came with its own sauce so they made sure we were doing it right. We spent about $400 for 3 people which included alcohol. I thought it was fair especially for how fresh our seafood was. The inside of the restaurant is pretty casual but clean. You can also see most of the seafood items. I recommend if if you want live seafood items Korean style. We will be back.

It's a mixture of Korean and Japanese style dishes. We ordered the 2 people sashimi and couldn't even finish it. It came with the platter of sashimi...fish was fresh but definitely not high quality like the authentic Japanese restaurant..at the end it comes with tempura, Korean tofu side dishes and soup...just a lot. If you're looking for authentic sushi/sahsimi...this is not your restaurant but if you're looking for Japanese basic sashimi fishes and Korean food...this may be it.

They didn't go cheap with the scallops. They were indeed giants! The Garlic Butter Queen Clams came in a sizzling plate and the sauce on the shells was bubbling when the plate arrived. How appetizing! I found the clams overcooked and therefore chewy but I still like them. The crab fried rice with shrimp was the perfect accompaniment to the other seafood we ordered. It was loaded with good portion of crab meat and super savory! The place was as loud as it can get. And the service was fast and efficient. We sat and got out with happy tummies within an hour.

Even though they offer Yelp check-in, you'll still be waiting a good while after they tell you to "check in with the host." So come prepared to wait. Now, the FOOD. Hands down, some of the best seafood dishes around! Everything is so well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The servers are also super friendly and attentive, which definitely helps make the experience better. Just know that this restaurant is BUSY. Do not come expecting a quiet, slow-paced meal. The food comes out quickly, the place is loud because it's packed, and you can definitely feel the hustle and rush. But honestly? I keep craving the food here, so I brave the crowds and come back anyway. It's THAT good. One thing to note: definitely ask the servers about the menu, but don't feel like you have to order everything they recommend. Our server raved about the coconut prawns, which were $60, and unfortunately, they were not worth it for me. Long wait, loud atmosphere, questionable $60 prawns... but I'd still come back for the seafood.
