This place is exceptional. Immaculately clean, warmly run by a genuinely welcoming owner, and remarkably consistent since day one. I've been a regular since their opening, and the quality has never wavered. from the crab itself to the sauce, the hot dishes, and even the side dishes. Every detail holds up. It's also the only crab spot where I truly feel I'm eating authentic Korean raw crab. If you want to eat real 게장, want to taste authentic Korean food, this is it! read more

10/10 recommend!!! The best raw crab I had in LA so far Korean mom & pop shop it's fresh and delicious , the crab is huge and fatty , service is super friendly , ambiance is clean . Would definitely come back ~ read more

I've always passed this place because I'm a frequent customer of the jjajangmyun place next door, but this time I made a special point to try this place out. I'm surprised this restaurant is almost always empty when we pass by, because the reviews are great and the food was delicious! I've been to Crab House which I think is probably one of the more popular places in Ktown for raw crab, but I think the food here is even better. The menu is very simple, which is great because it means they specialize and focus on just a few things. We got the small combo A, and it was actually a ton of food for 2 people. We couldn't finish and took a lot of it home! They gave us a variety of banchan and all of it was really good - I'm not really a fan of cabbage kimchi but theirs was so amazing that I ate all of it and I'm tempted to go back and ask if I can buy just some of their kimchi to have at home lol. It was perfectly aged and not too spicy - perfect for stew. They also brought us some of their summer yulmoo kimchi which was super refreshing. I'm not good with spice so we asked for the stew to be less spicy, and they didn't hesitate or judge at all. The stew wasn't as salty as some I've had, but it had a really nice refreshing flavor that wasn't fishy. The crab in the stew was so incredibly sweet and all the crabs we had were packed with meat. The soy sauce crab was loaded with roe, and the owner told us all the crabs are Korean, which tend to be sweeter and have more roe! But more than the food, the service was so sweet and personable that we want to come back just for the owners. I think it's a husband and wife duo that own and operate the store but they were both so kind and kept making conversation. Most of the time when we go out to eat in Ktown the service is sort of professional and aloof, but here they treat you like family. I want them to be my grandparents lmao. When I called the restaurant to ask if they were busy, the husband said, "No, it's not busy! Are you coming??" and it was just really cute because he sounded excited. It's really rare to find people who are so involved in all aspects of their business and still have a welcoming heart and vibe. The food was obviously great but I'd really go back for the hospitality. This is a one in a million experience. 음식도 너무나 맛있었지만 사장님들께서 정말 친절하고 따뜻하게 대해주셔서 가족이랑 식사하는 기분이었어요. 곧 다시 갈게요! 감사합니다 read more

We ordered their small crab combo, which included soy-marinated crab, spicy crab, crab soup, and a kimchi pancake. The portions were generous, and the crab is imported from Korea and was incredibly sweet and delicious. Every bite left us wanting more. The service was warm and friendly, making us feel just like eating at home. Parking wasn't too difficult either; there were some spots available on the street. After trying so many places for marinated crab, I'd say this one is definitely worth recommending. read more

Came right at opening this morning with a friend and had the loveliest experience The ambience was cozy and calm, and an older gentleman kindly took our order, which made it feel extra warm and welcoming. We tried the raw marinated crab, soy marinated crab, and bean paste stew; everything was insanely delicious. I usually prefer the spicy raw marinated crab over soy, but this time the soy marinated crab completely won me over. Both were incredibly fresh and amazing. And the banchan was sooooo good. Service was thoughtful and welcoming. Such a special little spot, can't wait to come back! read more

Super fresh, flavorful, sweet and creamy soy marinated Korean crabs here!! We got a combo A large for 5 people and added on an extra crab. perfect for everyone to get a whole raw crab + 2-3 bowls each of the crab stew. Careful bc the stew is pretty spicy with the flecks of gochugaru around. Plenty of veggies in it too, but the sweet crab broth makes it. Service was nice and helpful. Gives me old style Korean hole in the wall vibes, clean interior. No frills, just good food at Rich Crab! Pro tip: bring some Korean toasted seaweed to make some handrolls. SO FIRE. read more

Rich Crab - 3 Soy Sauce Marinated Crabs - excellent! - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came to Rich Crab over the weekend for dinner on Saturday & it was not too busy. Parking lot looked almost full, but they have Valet ($3, best to have exact change) to make life easier... I've been wanting to try Korean raw marinated crab and had Rich Crab saved on my list for a while. I'm glad I finally got a chance to try! Though it was a bit pricey, I think it was worth it. Hubby & I ordered the Combo B (Small - serves 2), which comes with Spicy Seafood Stew, 1 Soy Sauce Marinated Crab, 2 Spicy Marinated Crabs, and Kimchi Pancake + Rice. Their banchan included bean sprouts, boiled leafy greens, kimchi, fish cakes, and seaweed salad. Hubby & I were determined to finish the raw crabs in restaurant and took the rest as leftovers home since we weren't sure if it would spoil taking home. The soup was full of shrimp, fish, clams, and more crab! It was actually a nice palate cleanser when wanting to take a break or have different texture from eating the raw marinated crab. They serve the stew over a portable butane stove so you can keep it warm for as long as you want to. After trying both types, I do prefer the Soy Marinated Crab more. I felt it was creamier and was the better flavor in terms of actually feeling like I was eating the crab. The spicy marinated crab was marinated well, but it was a bit sweet & tasted more like Korean banchan with gochujang flavoring. It does get messy while eating, but they provide a box gloves and even a small bib for us ladies / those who want to keep their clothes clean. The head shell of the soy marinated crab has some yummy juices that pairs so well with the rice. The best way to describe the soy marinated raw crab was I was surprised how creamy the raw crab was (along with the roe/brains? The orange stuff ...) & it just makes for an overall comfort/food bite with the rice. Service was fairly quick & Rich Crab seems to be a small family-run restaurant by an older couple who were kind enough to give hubby some change for the valet. One unisex bathroom that was fairly clean. Will be back when we want to fix our Korean Raw Marinated Crab craving! read more

Nestled in a small plaza in Korea Town LA, is Rich Crab which is operated by a sweet Korean couple. They prepped the soy marinated crab backing for us to try. We ordered one of their set menus which came with a kimchi pancake, some seafood soup, 1 spicy marinated crab, and 2 soy sauce marinated crabs. Everything was a 10/10! It was my first time trying raw marinated crab and now I'm hooked. I'd definitely come back here and recommend to anyone looking for the same! read more

The soy sauce-marinated raw crab is incredibly fresh, with a jelly-like texture that melts in your mouth. The generous amount of crab roe adds a rich, indulgent touch, and you can tell how meticulously they clean and prepare everything, so much so that even with my sensitive stomach, I had no issues after eating it. Their seafood soup is another standout, packed with shrimp, crab, and fish, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. It's the perfect spot for a delicious solo dinner. Beyond the amazing food, the ambience is just as impressive. The entire place is spotless, with no fishy smell at all, which is rare for a seafood restaurant. It's cozy, comfortable, and makes for a truly enjoyable dining experience. Their service is very friendly too read more

Location 3: Busy area in K-Town, Los Angeles. Impossible to find street parking. There are paid parking lots around, but we opted for the valet that serves the shopping plaza. Venue 3: Basic no frills indoor seating with table service. They do take reservations on Yelp which may be helpful at busty times. Service 3: Polite and attentive. Our order was taken quickly, and food came quickly as well. Food 2.5: This restaurant specializes in crab. Menu is rather small and includes crab plates, carb stews and a few Korean hot pots. The crab plates and stews can be ordered in individual and family portions. Food was just OK and not memorable. Their crab meat (which is their specialty) had a slightly sour taste to it that we had not experienced before. I did like the Spicy Tofu Stew a lot though. Drinks 3: Smaller assortment of beer, soju, soft drinks and tea. The last word 3: Rich Crab was ok, but not what we had hoped for. read more

Amazing food and service. You can't get more authentic than this! I was looking specifically for a Korean raw marinated crab spot. They do sets that include 2 types of marinated crab, stew, and rice with banchan. We ordered the medium for 4 people and it was plenty of food! The crab was so sweet and fresh. The spicy crab stew was also delicious. The owner also offered us to try an off menu item - raw marinated shrimp, which we really enjoyed. Highly recommend!! read more

Rich Crab is one of the best restaurant for raw marinated crabs in Los Angeles, California. I love the fact that it is super simplified and they also offer live sea urchin with their marinated raw crabs. The filling in the crab is in my opinion about "B rated" crab compare to the best marinated crab places in Seoul. The banchan game is strong but it lacks variety and impactfulness. Everything taste great though but very mediocre overall. But its still great including the service. Who am I to complain comparing this to Korea but it is what it is. I would come back here when I'm craving a marinated crabs in Los Angeles. I would recommend this restaurant if you want some sort of decent marinated raw crab sensual orgasm. read more

Rich Crab - Marinated Medium Size Raw Crabs with Fresh Live Santa Barbara Uni. - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best raw crab in koreatown/cali. Pricy but we'll worth it. Closest thing to getting it in korea. Must try!

Rich crab is a great restaurant in ktown for some of the best marinated crabs. They offer both spicy and soy sauce marinated crabs with prices ranging from $45 and up depending on how much crab you're getting. 1 crab for 2 people was enough + pancake + soybean soup is great for 2. Service was so nice and quick and had a great conversation with the owner about the crabs and the food. The marinated soy sauce crab was extremely delicious and wasn't overly salty at all. Perfect balance of flavor and the crab had a lot of meat in it. Gloves available for everyone's convenience. Will definitely come again. They have various seafood stews along with a lot of side dishes. valet parking is available for $3 and street parking if available. read more

My friends and I had never eaten raw marinated crab before, so we decided to try Rich Crab based on the Yelp reviews. The food was delicious, but given the price and the portions shared among 4 people, we found ourselves not satisfied and wanting more. We ordered the Large Combo A. The photo of the large portion is somewhat misleading, as the size increase is mostly due to the soup, not the crab. Regardless of the combo size, you only get one soy-marinated crab. We would have preferred larger crab portions when ordering a larger combo, rather than more soup or sides, since we came specifically for the raw marinated crab. read more

Rich Crab - Banchan - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Curious about the fad surrounding raw crab and to celebrate a friend's birthday, we came here and ordered Combo B, which include the spicy crab stew, soy sauce marinated crab, kimchi pancake, spicy marinated crab, and several banchans. Since there weren't many other diners when we arrived, service was prompt. Now with the food. First and foremost, be prepared to use your hands to break open the crabs. Gloves are provided but there's some work involved. The soy sauce crab was refreshing and flavorful. Other than the spice, it was a bit difficulty to taste the flavor of the spicy marinated crab, but still enjoyable. What I thought would be the best item turned out differently. The spicy crab stew, generally good and savory, had Japanese pumpkins that tasted off, with a rotten smell, for lack of a better description. The kimchi pancake, like many I've had in my life, were spot on. Overall, an interesting experience. Parking can be a challenge so be prepared to park on the street. read more

Rich Crab - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have a fascination with Korean marinated raw crab and have tried it at many restaurants, ordered it online for delivery, and even attempted to make it at home. My two biggest challenges have always been the freshness of the crab and the sweetness level--personally, I struggle with any food that's overly sweet. I think I found my new favorite here at Rich Crab. Their crab is incredibly fresh, succulent, and not too sweet. It's melt-in-your-mouth perfection! The ambiance is no-frills, but the service is attentive. I'll definitely be back whenever the craving hits! read more

Rich Crab - 1 Soy Sauce Marinated Crab - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A tucked away, K-town strip mall eatery features the freshest, crabbiest Korean crab. Get one of the combos and get ready to really dig in. Each table gets an entire box of plastic food-handling gloves for eating and you will inevitably walk away with some orange on your chin. Combo B came with a Kimchi Pancake, which is always a great option and starts with the Spicy Marinated Crab, which has a bright red sauce that's sweet and slightly spice. Soy-marinated Crab is a new adventure, a whole raw sea-stinging crab full of gooey roe. Best when consumed over warm purple rice. Spoon some rice into the shell as well and mix it up with the guts. The Spicy Seafood Stew is a sea-savory soup with a sweeter finish, full of chunks of fish, head-on shrimp and even an entire octopus. We added the Seafood Pancake out of curiosity. It's an egg-based mix of calamari, shrimp, and so many leeks. Didn't need it (plenty of food in the combo) but didn't regret it either. Warning: DO NOT eat here if you don't like crab. This crab has stingingly briny, salty-sea flavors, (as it should), but it can be a lot for those who aren't accustomed to it. That said, I loved it! I've been wanting to explore Korean cuisine, and this was one of my better food experiences for sure. read more

Just plain delicious. Very kind and helpful waitress who explained the best ways to combine the soy sauce marinated crab with rice. Banchan is limited but quite tasty. Best way to save money here is to get one crab plus the seafood stew hot pot, which in my mind is a better deal than the combo, and both options are delicious. But don't miss the soy sauce marinated crab - even though I'm a spicehound, I like soy sauce here because it doesn't step on the crab flavor. read more

I was here a little more than 2 weeks ago and had a pleasant experience! It was my first time trying raw marinated crab and I came here after seeing a video on tik tok about this place. I brought my friend as well, though she thought we were going to another place (Crab House), yet she was pleasantly surprised as well. We ordered 2 soy marinated crabs and that was enough for us. We enjoyed the side dishes that came with it and the mom and daughter that was working was happy to refill them for us. In fact, they were so nice that they made our experience here even more enjoyable! Overall I highly highly recommend this place. The only con is parking which is quite annoying. They do have a small lot, but when I went it was valet only. However, this is also pretty normal in k-town so it wasn't unexpected. read more

Rich Crab - 2 Soy Sauce Marinated Crab - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

FINALLY MADE IT HERE! Came on a Saturday night around an hour and a half before closing but would definitely recommend coming earlier to have ample time to eat. Pretty sizable spot with that well-loved vibe typical of homestyle restaurants. We ordered a small Combo A that ended up being waaay more than enough for dinner. Being on the later end, we were seated immediately by the kind older couple I believe run the establishment. Banchan was plentiful and delicious. When the food came out, it was all together: kimchi pancake, massive pot of seafood stew on a butane burner (everything from fish sperm to clams), and the soy and spicy marinated crab. Awesome value and the combo option made it easy to feel satisfied afterwards. Soy marinated crab was super sweet and buttery and I ended up dipping a lot more than just the crab in that marinade, and the spicy crab was heavier on the spice than the crab flavor (understandable when you think about how overpowering the flavor of gochujang can be). Having tried one other fairly popular ganjang gejang place in LA, I can say the service and food of Rich Crab are a step above. read more

I was recommended this place by some friends and fell in love with their soy sauce marinated raw crab. While a little pricey at $45 for one crab, one is good enough to feed 1-2 people and comes with steamed purple rice. The soy sauce marinade is perfect and not too salty or sweet, and the crab is fresh. We also tried their spicy crab stew and it was great! I also love that they serve free iced barley tea instead of water. I think it's so refreshing. There's a valet in the lot but there is also a lot of street parking nearby. Great family-owned business (I believe) and I see this place getting compared to Master Ha's for their raw crab. Give them a try if you're in the area! read more

We got the combo c, 2 soy marinated crab, and the eel. Combo c - spicy seafood - this was pretty good with a variety of seafood Combo c - spicy crab - I think this was cooked crab and I couldn't really taste the crab, just the sauce Combo c - soy marinated crab - the e meat came out pretty easily and it's just so delicious when mixed with hot rice Combo c - kimchi pancake - good Soy marinated crab - the crab is bigger when you order it by itself Eel - so I thought this was squid but my friend who had this dish in Seoul explained that this kind of eel is squid like. So it's basically spicy stir fried squid. If you're coming for the raw crab, I'd just order more of that by itself. None of the other dishes stood out to me. Parking on a Saturday night was valet only. $3 at the time of this review. read more

Gold star eating experience for those looking try the viral gejang, Korean raw soy marinated crab. My friend sent I had each separately been impressed by this raw crab phenomenon and had been wanting to try it. Researching reviews on Yelp, we came to the consensus that Rich Crab and Crab House were the places to go. Crab House unfortunately was closed for new year's celebrations so we came to Rich Crab. Boy, were we glad we did! Gejang raw crabs, as I said up top, is a gold star eating experience but unfortunately also is expensive like gold. Each single crab will cost you $45. We ordered two since we were expecting to make a raw crab crawl to try different top spots, hoping to leave room for more food later. For parties with more eaters, they offer combos but the only difference for increased size is you get more soup. The number of crabs per combo is the same for all three sizes. Caveat emptor. The crabs come out pristine, fresh and firm, gleaming with the soy marinade. They also sell a spicy version but I already know what gochujang tastes like and wanted to try the crab for its intrinsic flavor. When eaten raw, the taste and texture is akin to eating uni. It's got that same briny smoothness with a slight oceanic funk, the crab's richness coating your tongue long after you've swallowed. I suppose this is normal and what they named the restaurant after. It took us quite a long time to eat the crabs, wanting to savor each morsel. Along with banchan, a box of gloves and a pair of crab crackers are brought to the table for all your crab eating utensil needs. I think you're supposed to bite through the tough parts with your teeth, which we did, but it's comforting knowing the crackers are there for backup. Service is friendly but they leave you to enjoy your crab chawing experience and shell spitting shame until you signal you're done. Giant poster pictures of the other delicious looking dishes they serve adorn the walls. I will definitely come back the next time the gejang craving hits. I suppose I can find places in my own home turf of OC to have it but this feels like the Cadillac gejang experience. read more

The marinated crab are flavorful and melts in your mouth. It is on the more expensive side, but they give you rice and sides for your meal. The monkfish stew is clean and subtle. It sets really nicely before and after the raw marinated crab. It wasn't busy when I went so the atmosphere is calm and enjoyable. The service is also amazing as the staff is attentive and helps you out immediately. I've come twice and look forward to coming again in the future! read more

Rich Crab - Soy Sauce Marinated Crab, Spicy Marinated Crab, Monkfish Stew - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I don't understand why this place is rated so high. Sure the crab was flavorful, but the amount of actual meat was minimal. The spicy crab stew was thin and lacking in flavor, the kimchi had a lot of vinegar and reminded me of the cheap bottled ones found in grocery stores, and the price for this entire meal was $73 BEFORE TIP. I'm sorry, but I won't be recommending this place to any of my friends. read more

Decided to check out Rich Crab since Master Ha's is closed on Sundays. It was my first time trying raw crab and I don't know how I feel about it but I don't want to discredit the cuisine just cause I'm indifferent. Their kimchi pancake was bomb! Smaller than expected but it was really good. Not like your typical kimchi pancake that's overly thick and soggy. The banchan was 10/10. Really enjoyed just eating the banchan with rice. That's how good it was. Note: their combos only include 1 crab of each, regardless of the size you choose. The only difference between the combo is the soup size. Which is disappointing because how are 5 people supposed to share 1 crab. I'd want to try master Ha's next to see how it compares. read more

Rich Crab - Size Small combo. - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm not a crab connoisseur so maybe take my review with a grain of salt. First off, I love seafood and I love to eat crab but to caveat, I've never had a general liking for the crab/shrimp heads - and eating raw crab was fairly similar to that delicacy. This was my first time eating raw crab. I wasn't sure what to expect so I came in with zero expectations, but I also walked out unsure of how I felt about the meal. I came here with a party of 4. Since it was our first time, we tried the combo so that we can try both of the different flavors. We ordered a size S combo A for $119. Note that the different sizes of combo refers to the stew size. Everything else comes as 1 count. The service was great. Food came out SO fast, it literally felt like we just waited for 5 mins. As soon as it came out, we dug in. I want to say I did enjoy the soy sauce marinated crab but at the same time also wasn't sure if I liked the flavors. The spicy marinated crab was marinated VERY well and spicy too! Loved that there was definitely a hot kick to it. You forsure need to work to eat this though and unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of peeling crab/shrimp and really digging deep to find gold. Despite all that, it tasted super fresh! The banchan was exceptionally good, and also refillable. Kimchi was great but honestly felt like I got jipped. It's so thin and hardly had any kimchi pieces - it was like eating kimchi paper, not pancake. It was also smaller than what I expected. I've had better kimchi pancakes. We ordered the spicy crab stew for our stew option. Spicy? No. Crabby? Yes. It had a very good depth of flavor in terms of crab. I wish there was more garneses/veggies but the crab pretty much filled up the pot. I didn't get to eat the crab from the pot but I was told by my boyfriend's parents that it wasn't fresh. To be completely honest, I left feeling so unsatisfied. It wasn't that I wasn't full but I think I needed something that tasted more satisfying. I think this delicacy is something everyone should try but I wouldn't consider this a meal I'd crave and want to eat for dinner. To try and experience different types of cultural food? Definitely. But not something I can expect to eat every month. Also, I felt it was super pricey for what it was even though I know these crabs are imported. I'd prefer to eat omakase sashimi for the price. Update: After reading some reviews, I found out from other yelpers that ordering the combo, the crabs would be significantly smaller than ordering a la carte. The waitress failed to mention that to us...which now makes me realize that portioning sizes like this is incredibly unfair to the customer AND super misleading. Not to mention that most people who order combos expect to have a fair ratio amongst the number of people that the menu stated to feed. If your size M combo is supposed to feed 3, give more ratio of crabs rather than your stew, especially if you know people come to your restaurant to specifically try your raw crab. Warning: Any size combo, whether S, M, or L, all combos only comes with 1 small crab per flavor. That's bogus and definitely not worth the price. Had I known, I would've just ordered a la carte. DON'T ORDER THE COMBO. read more

Amazing lunch. Delicious food. Only wish I lived closer if you're a fan of Korean raw crabs this is the place to go!

This was one of the most unique meals I've ever had and a total adventure for my tastebuds! This place is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall and was pretty empty when we walked in around 7pm on a Wednesday. We ordered the soy marinated crab and a spicy seafood stew. The crab is unlike anything I've had before. You add rice to the crab shell and mix it with the marinade inside and eat it all at once. Then you squeeze out the crab meat from the legs and mix again with the rice. I also scooped up some of the marinade in the plate for extra flavor. To my surprise, I could barely taste the rawness. The umami from the marinade covered up most of the fishy flavors from the raw crab. Every bite was extremely flavorful. The spicy seafood stew was delicious as well. It was loaded with ingredients and not very spicy Service was really good at well. They don't speak that much English but we're super nice read more

I've been back twice now so I think that means I'm a regular. I came with two separate sets of friends on both occasions. You need at least three adults and the smallest combo is enough. We got combo A small which is $110 but it comes with spicy crab stew, spicy marinated crab, soy marinated crab, kimchi pancake, and ofc all the banchans. Both times I brought my picky allergic kid so we got extra food. he ate the fried corvina and potato pancake and rice and he was a happy camper. Second time we had a teenager so we added the bossam which came w doenjang jigae soy bean soup. It's never crowded when we go but admittedly we went during lunch and it's more of a group dinner food type of place. Will always come back read more
