The cold noodles was ok. I’ve had better elsewhere.
The soy sauce marinated crab was ok. Not worth $50 for 1.
The spicy marinated crab was much better. We spent $200 and it was not worth it.

The raw crab as signature eating with rice is incredible! Tastes are authentic! The spicy raw crab as side dish was good too. The crab stew is tender and good. Recommended for authentic Korean dishes. It’s just like home cooked food.
The owner uncle and auntie were so kind to us. The place is clean and I like the cute apron and plastic gloves so you don’t have to worry about your hands and clothes getting dirty.

I like the crab marinate at this restaurant, it’s not too salty. Crabs are fresh and taste good. Services are friendly.

The service is a bit slow but the food here is SO GOOD. I would definitely come back here just to eat the soy sauce marinated crab or the spicy crab stew. When I went my friend and I got the 2-3 person combo of “kimchi pancake + spicy raw crab + soy sauce marinated crab + spicy crab soup” and it was so much good. We barely finished it between the two of us. I think the price point is good for the amount you get and would definitely recommend it.

The service here may not be the best but their soy marinated crabs are pretty darn good. When we arrived, there was no one to greet us and we had to wait a while before a server came out from the back. Once seated though, she was pretty attentive.
The crabs were delicious and we were given sesame seed oil to make bibimbap with, which we really appreciated. They also provided scissors and crackers for the legs as well as gloves to squeeze the crab pieces with.
The crabs were admittedly more expensive than we expected but I’d say it’s worth the money. This might turn out to be a regular spot every time we visit LA!

Either yesterday or today I watched an Instagram reel about Koreatown raw soy marinated crab. It was from a located I had frequented before. Needless to say, I got home from work and I could not get raw spicy and soy marinated crab out of my head. I just had to have. I decided to skip my Monday night boxing class and instead eat a lot of Korean food. I Googled some places and wondered which one I should go to. I wondered if Postmates could deliver something to my apartment so that I don’t have to venture out to Koreatown again, especially at night. Postmates doesn’t deliver raw soy crab, but they did have spicy crabs. But I wanted BOTH. I decided to try Rich Crab. I had never been there before. I decided to order to go and then went to go pick it up myself. The parking is valet but I let him know I’m just picking up and he was real nice about it. I walked in and was greeted by two people. They were super nice and friendly. I took the food back home in my corvette in the trunk space. I got home and put my dog away in his crate. I opened up the food and everything was just so neatly and well packaged. One time I had ordered soy crab to go and the particular restaurant did a sloppy packaging job so I spilled in my corvette front passenger carpet floor and the smell lasted three or four car details. But nothing spilled from here as the packaging was meticulous. I had the combo B small. Seafood soup, kimchi pancake, soy crab, spicy crab, purple rice, side dishes. Everything tasted perfect. The Korean food at Rich Crab is no nonsense authentic Korean food. This is coming from a girl who grew up eating soy crab at home from a home recipe (grandma’s recipe from South Korea ChoongChungDo). I would get jars of soy crab and sometimes eat it daily until it was done so I have plenty of years of eating soy crab. There’s nothing else for me to say. The food here doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. It’s not pretentious it’s just Korean and I respect it a lot. Needless to say I will be going here again. I even had to call them back to say thank you and I enjoyed the meal, I’ll leave a review and I’ll be back again. They were super nice and appreciative of the call too. I’m touched.

AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!
I heard about this place on TikTok and wanted to go so bad! It definitely lives up to the hype. Cute lil mom and pop shop but everything has such amazing flavor and I def recommend the spicy crab stew and spicy marinated crab.
My boyfriend kept spilling the marinade on his shirt so they brought him an apron and wipes LOL super sweet. Def try all the side dishes and the rice, it’s mixed with wild rice so it’s super yummy and nutty!

Clean establishment, Anthony Bourdain would approve using the bathroom as a strong indicator. The marinated crab is great! Lots of bright orange roe in their Korean crabs. The seafood pancake was good although pricy. Skip the seafood soup

This is a hole in the wall, no-nonsense type of Korean restaurant and they really perfected their craft. I consider myself a gejang specialist and I’ve been to the best of the best in Seoul, LA, New York and New Jersey, and I think this place is the best in the US! The crabs are from Korea (I asked the owner) and imported in. The marinade flavor is a perfect blend of herbs and brine and is not salty like other places. It’s really spectacular. The soup is really good too and starts off a little mild and bland but as it cooks down it becomes perfect. As for price (maybe I’m biased because everything is high priced in NYC) I thought this was well priced and reflective of the quality, craft and flavor, especially knowing the crabs are from Korea. I wish they had this place in the east coast.

BEST soy sauce crab and monkfish stir fry in LA! The owner and her daughter are so nice and incredibly welcoming and attentive. The restaurant is VERY clean! They close on Tuesdays though!
