I was teaching my niece on navigating public transportation so we took the Metro, made a transfer, and exited Wilshire/Vermont from the D-Line, and walked half a mile over. If you're driving, Crab House also has a public parking lot that is a gem in this Koreatown area where you don't have to pay or valet. Crab House specializes in Korean seafood, especially raw crab. We felt welcomed as we came in, even with the language barrier, you can tell the ladies were friendly. It was an intimate restaurant but it has dividers up so you feel a sense of privacy even when there are others nearby. The tables all had gloves, for handling the seafood. Even before reviewing the menu, I knew we had to get their raw marinated crab, since it's what they're known for. We decided to share their #9 Combo ($39.99) which comes with 2 USA Crabs and an extra small Sea Urchin rice and a Korean Potato Pancake ($8.99). Meal comes with complimentary side dishes and iced tea. Wow what a glorious spread. This was my niece's first time having raw marinated crab and she really enjoyed it. The fresh seaweed, imitation crab, and fish eggs it was served with was good too The sea urchin rice had uni, rice, quail egg, and fish eggs. Not that fresh or essential but interesting to try. The marinated raw crab was definitely the star. The Korean potato pancake was a decent addition. We both liked the crispy edge pieces but didn't like the soft soggy spots as much. Eat while fresh for maximum crispiness. We both enjoyed our meal and it was a very unique experience. We will definitely be back for more marinated raw crab and to try more of their menu. read more

Crab House We got combo A $99 : Korean crab Spicy crab Sea urchin (M) Seafood tofu stew Then we added another Korean crab to the combo. THIS PLACE is always good everytime I've gone but I think they improved from the previous years because the banchan was so interesting !! I never had a fish head + deeply braised radish that was perfectly salty spicy and sweet. The spicy rice cake portion was huge ! My friend and I were super full leaving and extremely satisfied. 10/10 recommend for uni bowls + raw crab lovers. I prefer the korean crab but the spicy one just goes so well together. Absolutely amazing service ! Super kind and helpful. Small cozy restaurant not here for the aesthetics of the atmosphere more here for the aesthetically pleasing food + delicious taste. Free parking outside. Follow me for more foodie adventures -living with Luci read more

I have been wanting to try raw marinated crab for the longest time and this spot did not disappoint! The soy crab and spicy crab both have their strengths, I would recommend the spicy crab if you need the sauce to hide a little bit of the fishiness of the crab. For those who don't like raw crab, the crab soup had a deep crab flavor and tasted very comforting and homemade. Since it was our first time, the server was very helpful and gave us recommendations. One crab is definitely enough for two people, especially with all the delicious side dishes that it comes with. While they give you gloves and a bib, come prepared to make a mess and get into the shells! It's hard work, but it's definitely a great group experience and is perfect for chatting with friends. This was a great meal and you could definitely taste the quality of the crab! read more

Bookmarked this spot a while ago and finally was close enough to visit! It was best first meal coming from out of town. We forgot how difficult it can be to find parking in LA, but we managed to find one on the side of the road, just to find out... this restaurant has their own parking lot. Hehe. Went around 5pm and saw we were the first ones seated while a handful of people came and gone for to go orders. I immediately ordered the soy marinated crab and live uni. There is a combo order of both, but it includes the American marinated crab and an extra small live uni. With their recommendation, we opted for the Korean marinated crab and small uni to share with 2 adults and one kid. When the food came out, they gave us another live uni on the house and I was so happy because I didn't want to share mine! The food was so homey and delicious. The seafood pajeon was so loaded with all the seafood bits and the soy bean soup was the perfect palette cleanser. Service was great and they were so helpful to answer any questions we had. They gave us extra water for our little one and refilled our tea when it was a fourth full. They were so tentative and asked how we liked the food. We loved it. We also enjoyed the banchan! read more

My bestie and I came for lunch on Tuesday as we were craving raw marinated crabs. Parking was $3 and its self park. The man will tell you where to park. We arrived a bit after 11:30 and were the first customers. It's a home-y type of establishment and I loved seeing the celebrity autographs on the walls who have visited. The most notable and only one I noticed was Lisa from Blackpink. We ordered Combo A and to our luck, the friendly owner gave us an extra uni bowl. They also gave us fish as service. Everyone was so friendly and gave instructions on how to eat things. The crabs were so good. We preferred soy marinated over the spicy ones. The uni bowl was so fresh, it was still moving! Banchan spread was awesome and it was honestly so much food. It was a great meal and we would definitely come back here! read more

Definitely recommend this place! Service was very warm and welcoming, had such a pleasant dinner. We got the set menu A Combo and the portion was very generous. The marinated crab was very delicious, and spicy crab was even better, but the marinated crab is definitely higher quality, so if you want to get the best of both worlds order both or get the combo. When we finished ordering, appetizers came immediately and basically covered the whole table, and as a Korean restaurant with such warm hospitality I assume you can get more side dishes if you want, but we didn't want to waste any food. All dishes tasted great. The uni wasn't very surprising but it's still good, so if you are doing à la carte you can skip it. All in all a 5+ for the restaurant, also the restroom seems pretty clean so it's another plus for this smallish restaurant. read more

Not exaggerating but this is the best place for raw marinated crab! We got Combo A that include spicy and soy marinated crab , Uni bowl and seafood tofu soup. Both the soy marinated crab and spicy marinated crab is fresh and delicious. Very easy to break and get the meat. They also gave us a free Uni bowl that is not oceany and has good flavor. Seafood tofu soup has some clams and is well made. Totally worth the price! The aunties/staff are so nice and friendly! Quick service as well. They have tables and seating and it's reminds me of a cozy at home vibe. read more

One of the best experiences I've had in LA. First off, the service was AMAZING. The staff was attentive and very friendly. They even taught us how to properly eat the crab! It was honestly a pleasure dining here. Service aside, the food was amazing. The crab didn't have a fishy taste and was very smooth to eat. When mixed with the rice and condiments, each bite became an explosion of flavor that blended umami and texture together. Note, could be a bit salty if you add too much crab juice. We ordered both the Korean and USA crab, I couldn't really tell the difference between them. The uni bowl was delicious, uni was FRESH! The sides were also great, they gave us a Salmon head on the house and it was delicious! I didn't even know I was eating salmon, every bite was melt in my mouth! Was more like "wagyu" fish lol! The ambiance is normal for ktown, nothing too special. Typical hole in the wall vibes. But the food and service definitely make up for it. 10/10 would come back again. FYI I don't do paid reviews, this is how I genuinely feel about this gem. read more

Oh my goodness, I haven't had something this delicious in SO LONG. I'm so so happy to finally have tried Crab House in ktown LA. This spot has been on my list for the longest time ever. To start off I was quite suprised to walk in to the restaurant and there was no fishy crab scent that I usually expect. We came on a Sunday evening and got seated immediately -- it wasn't too packed to my surprise. The servers were the sweetest ladies too -- v attentive and made sure we got what we needed :) My friend and I ordered the gangjang gejang (soy raw marinated crab) and the uni bowl combo. This was my first time trying soy raw marinated crab and I AM A FANNN. The way it was so flavorful and fresh oh my goodness. I usually make my own gochujang spicy raw marinated crab but I think the soy version tops it. They provided us banchan to eat with the crab and the concoction of the banchan they gave us paired with the crab was the best tasting thing I've had in a while -- all the flavors & textures pair together so nicely. The uni bowl was also very good, but not as good as the raw marinated crab in my opinion. I know this place is good when the uni doesn't taste too fishy. I would 10000% come back here again and recommend this place to my friends :) read more

The only time I've had marinated raw crab was from Hmart. This was wayyyyyyy better, out of the ballpark better. The texture was gooey and flavorful, paired with the rice it was heaven!! I love that they gave a bowl of seaweed and some crab meat that you mix the rice into, so fun to mix w the innards. If you like light tasting things, soy marinated would probably be your go to. For me, I like strong flavors and things a bit on the salty side, so I enjoyed the spicy marinaded crab more. Another favorite of mine was the seafood pancake, packed with chucks of shrimp and a bunch of squid, mussles, and oysters. It was light in batter and crispy. Delishhhh!! I loved the side dishes and I reallly, really loved the barley tea, it's so refreshing and for me it helps clean my palate. The service was very pleasant, the lady was checking up frequently to see if we were okay. It was fairly pricy but looking at other places it seemed pretty on par with the other restaurants offering similar items. I would come back again! read more

Overall 3.5 stars. I love Korean soy sauce marinated seafood, so my husband always tries to take me to different restaurants that offers them. My favorite ones in Los Angeles area are Rich Crab and the Crab House. We have been to the Crab House for about 3 times now. They have more variety than Rich Crab; however, it seems like the crabs here were slightly smaller. However, they also had soy sauce marinated shrimps with heads, scallops, salmons and abalones. Although, the salmon and scallops could be too salty. And if you're fan of Uni (sea urchin), they offered whole Uni with different size options. I only had a large sized once because the first two times they only had small sized. They were generous for giving out complimentary side dishes; especially the boiled fish - it could be a dish on its own. They have a parking lot outside of the restaurant, but the space is tight. We usually come here early right when they open to get a good parking spot. Customer service wise... pretty slow. I understand that if the restaurant is busy, wait is reasonable. However, last time we went, it was just us and another (1) table. They had 3 workers in the front but seemed like the female staffs didn't have the responsibility to take orders; they only gave us menus (and that's after we asked for them). We had to wait till the male staff to slowly taking the order of the other table, enter the orders in the system, bring them drinks, then come over to take our orders. Even when we wanted to order one more bottle of beer, we had to really get their attention. Perhaps it wasn't a good day. However, It would have been more stars if the service is consistent. read more

Located on the corner of a small strip mall, you can easily find parking at this plaza since it's valet only. Parking was only about $3 which isn't bad considering you don't have to look around for tight street parking as this street is pretty busy. We came here on a Friday night around 6pm or so. It wasn't busy; about 3-4 tables which was good for us. Plenty of seating available though a smaller place. The staff were very nice though and very helpful! Being our first time here, we had asked the staff for their recommendation. We ended up ordering the Korean style raw crab which the portion was ok; a bit smaller than I had expected. Also ordered their medium sized uni filled with roes, quail yolk, rice and about 4-5 uni. They gave us a cabbage salad which was pretty good as well as other various smaller dishes. Also gave us a free salmon head which a bit spicy but plenty of meat. Raw crab as mentioned was a bit smaller but very juicy. Tasted pretty good along with the uni. Not too bad of a first experience. Will be a while before I have raw crab again though but next time will get the American style to try out. read more

Delicious food -- their ganjang and yangnyeom gejang are absolutely amazing. Everything is super flavorful, fresh, and prepared really well. If you love marinated crab, this place is a must. The staff has always been kind and helpful every time I visit, and they even provide bibs and gloves, which is great because things do get messy (in the best way). Parking is valet-only, so make sure to bring cash. This is my favorite spot for gejang in LA. Highly recommend! read more

Luckily found residential parking on a Sunday afternoon so we didn't have to pay for valet. Restaurant was not too busy, so we were seated quickly and ordered the U.S. marinated crab ($35). Between the three people, the portions were enough since none of us were huge fans of the crab. The crab was incredibly fishy, making it hard to eat. Tasted like they just pulled it out of the sea. Service was nice. read more

Cute small business run by lovely people. The service is hospitable and if you've never had marinated crab, the staff is very kind in teaching you how to eat it. We got the American soy and spicy marinated crab. They provide plenty of gloves and even have a small mixed bowl to add to your rice so you can mix it with the shell. The spicy marinated crab is yummy, good marinated, nice portions. I wish they provided scissors or some way too to cut the claws and legs to get the meat out as it can poke through the gloves. The soy marinated crab.. it might just be personal preference but I found it a bit soapy? And the marinated reminded me too much of bulgogi marinade. There were some darker colored crab flesh that did not taste fresh at all. This would probably be the most affordable option and the restaraunt has made a name for itself. Id recommend the spicy crab versus the soy one. read more

I've never had raw marinated crab and was eye-ing other raw marinated crab restaurants, but since their hours were limited/required reservations, we decided to come here instead. Apparently Lisa from Blackpink has dined here (you can see that she has her autograph framed here)! Parking can be challenging here, unless you're shopping at El Super nearby... The restaurant is pretty compact and isn't particularly fancy, but is clean. We were warmly greeted by the staff and brought to our table. We were a party of 3 and decided to get 1 Korean raw marinated crab (soy seasoned...also not sure what is the difference between the Korean and USA crab) since we were unsure about whether we would enjoy it, and we asked about what size we should get for the uni. They said they only had small, medium, and large despite having other sizes listed beyond that. We ended up getting the large just to share. We also got a crab stew. We got several banchan including tteokboki with fishcake, kimchi, japchae, edamame, and a a shredded cabbage salad with a black sesame type dressing and slivered almonds. Btw the rice they give you is yellow colored! Not sure what makes it yellow, but the rice is also so fresh and so soft and like the texture of sushi rice. The staff knew that it was our first time having raw marinated crab, so they gave us tips on how to eat it (putting gloves on, and squeezing the meat out. They have gloves available on the table.) Then mixing it in a bowl that they provided which includes some shredded dried seaweed (maybe like furikake), some shredded imitation crab. Eating the crab with the mixture and hot rice was soooo delicious...especially if you get to eat the crab guts! When the crab was presented to us, they had it marinated and cracked, so it should be pretty easy to eat and you don't need any special tools. The crab also had a piece of salmon and some decorative garnishes on top. The crab is very fresh and did not taste fishy at all. If you've never had raw crab, the texture is like eating ebi. As for the uni, the presentation was lovely! The staff told us not to mix up the ingredients in there (a raw quail (?) egg with different kinds of roe, fresh red seaweed?, and red bell pepper?)...lots of question marks because these were items that I thought they were but I could not confirm with the menu. The uni was very fresh...not fishy like some other places I've had. Eating this with hot rice was also the best combo! The crab stew was a very generous size. There was plenty of crab in there and also very fresh. It also had some daikon and zucchini. They didn't ask us to specify spice level, but I would say it is probably pretty spicy for the average person (too spicy for the MIL haha)...I liked it at this level of spice, though! Overall, I had such a great experience here. If we came here again, I probably would have rather gotten 2-3 crabs to share among 3 people, and maybe either 2 medium unis or 1 large uni again. Even though the crab stew was enjoyable, I'd probably skip to enjoy the fresh seafood instead. I would definitely recommend Crab House! read more

Crab House - Lisa of Blackpink's autograph - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place will make you feel like you've died and gone to heaven. We arrived around the afternoon on a weekday. Shortly after opening they were already full house with a small line outside. I believe we waited about 30 minutes or so for two people. The service was standard. Meal was ~$200 including tip. Let's get to the important stuff. The food presentation and flavor was absolutely amazing. Banchan is good and standard. The unique item was the salad with black same dressing--delicious. For entrees we ordered USA crab, Korea crab, marinated raw seafood in soy sauce, and seafood pancake. Everything was delicious. The sauce on the raw crab plate was salty and flavorful. I think we believed there might be some hints of cinnamon in it. I loved dipping the pancake in it. (I'm a huge sauce girly.) read more

A delicious little gem in Ktown with fresh seafood in authentic Korean cooking styles and the aunties serving are friendly and attentive. Love the complimentary cabbage salad with the sesame sauce. The sauce is creamy and nutty and I want a jar of it to keep in my fridge. For Crabs, it was recommended to get the Korean crabs for plumper size. The crab sizes were actually a bit small IMO for the price which is my only concern. We got the large sizes and there just wasn't a ton of meat in them. The prices have increased quite a bit so it's a casual spot but at more fine dining prices. The uni bowls with various roe and quail yolk is also beautiful but largely filled with rice and less uni. Still delicious, but leaves you wanting a smidge more. read more

The best place in the entire U.S.!!!! My favorites are the raw marinated crab in soy sauce. I thought they would be incredibly salty but they are absolutely not! Staff will teach you how to eat them if you're a first timer. Do make sure you follow every step as the experience and flavor profile only gets elevated at that point. Raw spicy crab was also good but I loved the soy sauce crab much better. Banchan is also very yummy. read more

Ooh this place feels so authentic! I'm from Seattle and I couldn't find soy marinated crab that tasted like the ones I had in Seoul. And so during a trip to LA, I made sure to stop by Crab House to see if it would satisfy my cravings. I got their sea urchin and soy marinated crab combo and it slaps. The crab tasted pretty close to what I had in Korea, I would just say the Korean ones were sweeter. The sea urchin was beautiful and tasted pretty good too. The service was good, fast and friendly. I'd say this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

I've been wanting to try Korean soy marinated crab for so long and after hearing Lisa from blackpink came here after Coachella we had to come and try. Located in the heart of Koreatown, can be a little tricky to navigate. Restaurant is inside of a small plaza, only valet parking available. This place can get busy. We came when they first opened around noon and there was no wait. Normal decor for a family run Korean restaurant. The couple running the restaurant is super nice too. They pointed out where Lisa sat when she ate here and I thought that was cute. Had to order the soy marinated crab. They have both Korean and USA crabs available. We got an order of each. They have a combination with 2 USA crabs and Uni bowl as well if you want to try other things on the menu. Kudos on the service, I had no idea how to eat the crab and the owners showed me step by step and were patient as well. Korean crab 5/5 - single Korean crab is big, really flavorful. Definitely on the saltier side. They give you a rice accompaniment that you're supposed to mix the crab with and that was SO DELICIOUS. They gave me another one when I finished the rice dish in less than 5 minutes. The plate comes with refillable Banchan. The Banchan is good quality, delicious and with good variety. USA crab and Uni bowl 5/5 - for those who want the best of both worlds, this is definitely a good option. Comes with 2 USA crabs which are much smaller than the Korean ones and a small Uni bowl. Marinade is the same as the Korean crab but the Korean crab meat is definitely better. Uni bowl is fresh too. Spicy seafood stew in hot pot 3/5 - not the best compared to everything else we had. Very spicy but lacked other flavors. Tastes monotone. I feel the seafood tasted tough too. Could've done without this one. Definitely come here for the soy marinated crabs if you haven't! read more

I loveee raw marinated crabs, which is what their know for here, but I left this place loving their uni rice bowls even more! 'USA Raw Crab- Soy Marinated': comes with 3 small crabs, the soy marinade was flavorful but not too salty. I appreciated how well prepared the dish was because there wasn't a fishy scent or taste to it either! They also give you a side of rice, seaweed flakes, seaweed salad, and imitation crab to mix your crab meat in. 'Uni Rice Bowl': got the Medium and Jumbo size, I felt like the Jumbo one is worth it because it comes with pretty big pieces of uni! They recommended not to mix everything, and this way you got to taste all of the individual flavors including the fresh, buttery, smooth uni! I also enjoyed all their side dishes, and they even gave a complimentary fish dish that was good as well! This was a cozy Korean restaurant with attentive staff. Extra points for the free parking lot!! read more

Came here on a random weekday for lunch. I love how it felt very homely inside with its dark brown wood seating and smaller space (I saw there were about ten 4 person tables). Luckily there was no crowd so I got seated right away. Also the parking lot was still empty at just before noon (parking for lunch is $3 and dinner is $4). I ordered the combo with the x small uni rice bowl and marinated spicy crab that comes with its own rice. I felt silly to be surprised that i was provided banshan still but happily ate it with no complaints. The uni bowl and crab came out in record time (like less than 10 minutes). I suggest taking your time to enjoy each bite and not rush. I think this is a great place to go if you're looking for something more casual and intimate. I have yet to try the other crab places around the area but I am for sure coming back here again! read more

My sister, cousin, and I were aimlessly driving around, trying to find Koreatown--only to realize it's an entire district, not just a small strip like in NYC. Oops! Luckily, our little detour led us to this spot, and wow, what a find! The restaurant is cozy and bustling, but we were seated surprisingly fast. We came specifically to try the soy-marinated raw crab, and it did not disappoint. The dish came with rice and a variety of sides (see picture!), making for a well-rounded and flavorful meal. I'll be honest--I don't normally crave raw marinated crab, but this was an experience worth having. The flavors were spot on, rich, and umami-packed.
