    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.

    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

    This was so yummy! It was my first time having marinated crab and I thought it was delicious! Personally, im not super great with spicy but the spicy was okay heat (usually I get mild for spicy at Asian restaurants). It can creep up tho! The owner is so sweet and answered all questions we had. We had the borahae combo A + another Korean marinated crab and it was more than enough for 3 petite girls The restaurant is a little small, probably fits like 40-50 people in total. There's a parking lot too!

    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!

    actually such a good raw marinated crab spot!! I saw they were having the borahae special which serves 2 and it such a good deal imo! I had to run over asap and luckily it was still going on! we arrived close to opening time ~11:50am and since theres a parking lot w valet only ($3), we didn't have to worry about parking. im sure you can find street parking around but there was nothing in the immediate area and we were too hungry to search the ladies working there are sooo cute and kind! they checked to make sure we were enjoying the food and let us know how to eat a certain dish when we said it was our first time. it wasn't too crowded when we got there, but more people started trickling in as we ate/ left. we chose combo A from the special which includes korean crab, spicy crab, sea urchin (m), and soft tofu stew. this was definitely enough for 2 of us but they even gave us another sea urchin bowl on the house (too sweet)! everything tasted sooo fresh and although we first were hesitant about eating raw crab, once we took our first bite, we knew we could trust this spot!! the marinades they used were so flavorful (the spicy is really spicy!!) and I lovedddd how buttery and rich the uni was! the soft tofu stew was so good and comforting - we had to take it to go though bc we were so full after eating everything else. and the sides!! omg super delicious and well prepared. idk what they put in the japchae but it was delicious and unlike any other I've had before! highly recommend this place and I cannot wait to go back!!

    We ate combo C, with Bossam added, plus diet Cokes and Chamisul. Great hospitality from ajummah, cheery and /always/ on point. I got a service of marinated salmon head with simmered daikon, gratis. Great with soju and maximally appreciated. Delicious banchan with apple sweet salad very refreshing. Zero notes all lovely on a clear Saturday. Props to A/C chill. Please keep doing what you do, the way you do it.

    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!

    Seafood pajeon, Korean soy marinated crab, small live uni
    Danica Joy I.

    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!

    Appetizers
    James Q.

    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.

    Uni bowl
    Cathleen H.

    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.

    Korean crab and American crab
    Thomas C.

    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.

    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 :)

    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!

    Is it still hard to get in? Is there a line usually?

    Not really. Go on a weekday it should be fairly empty now

    Is parking very hard to find? Thanks!

    Valet parking for under $5!

    If we have 3 people, can we just order one Korea crab (to share) plus other food? The menu shows "1crab per person". Will they require us to buy 3 crabs for 3 people?

    No you can just get one, it's recommended one per person because they're pretty small

    Are you still requiring any vaccine proof?

    Nope!

    If you don't have a vax card do they accept a Covid test as an alternative?

    Before they required vac card only, now they don't check it anymore. Staffs all wears masks inside

    Is the Uni/Sea Urchin on the menu daily or is it seasonal?

    Its daily! Just a regularly offered in their menu. The sizes offered may vary depending on what they have each day. Like we wanted a Super but the max they had that day was a jumbo

    Can you get take out from this restaurant?

    Yes, I believe so, I saw people getting take out last time I was there. But since most of the stuff we normally order there are raw, I personally will not order to go, unless… 

    Best place for marinated crab?

    No.

    Is there any non spicy dish for kids?

    They have abalone rice porridge, potato pancakes, scallion pancake, and rice. Other than that it's mainly a place for adults. We had my 2 year old nephew and he was fine eating rice and porridge.

    How much is the New item raw crab rice bowl? Thx

    Hello! The price of the Crab Rice Bowl is $29.99.

    Do you still do weekday lunch specials?

    I dont see that in the menu, however they are running out of the combo (crab + uni)

    Do you need a vax card to dine in still?

    Yes I had to show mine.

    Can you take to go for the crab and uni?

    Yes, you can! Call ahead and your order will be ready in 20 or so minutes. Skip the lines and head inside to pick up!… 

    What are the weekend hours? planning to go this saturday.

    We are 11:30am(open)-10:00pm(closed) Thank you...

    Do you accept credit card?

    Yes,of course...

    Do they sell alcohol?

    Yes,of co course.

    Do they take reservations?

    No they don't take reservations

    How can I make a reservation? I tried to call them, but their mailbox is full and the website doesn't seem to show how to make a reservation.

    No they do not take reservations

    How many crabs are served in one serving of the korean soy sauce marinated crab dish?

    1per(1pic)입니다

    I'm planning to visit LA in October, and this is my first stop! Is the Korean crab still available then?

    Yes, it's not a seasonal thing. But depending on the season you may or may not get the roe/ a lot of roe (the orange stuff inside the crab).

    I stayed at USC hotel so I decided to give this place a try since I heard about it from YouTube…read more The place is inside a food hall and shares tables with the other restaurants. The line went outside the building, but it moved decently fast. After ordering you get a number and they will deliver the food to your table. I got a variety of their tacos. Each taco had a unique twist to it, and tasted really good. They also had a cool black tortilla which had a nice texture. I especially like the fried fish one as it had a mellow yet delicious flavor. I also got their cheap chips, and that as well worth the price. Definitely give this place a shot. It does match up to the hype.

    On Friday evening, September 4th (yesterday) after work, I went to Holbox with my mom and my two…read morebrothers. I think I've been to Holbox about four or five times now. The last time I went was on October 3rd and September 12th of last year, so it had been almost a year since my last visit. The very first time was last summer with about 10 members from my Korean community group. We all thought the food was really delicious, and that's why I kept coming back. As you would expect from such a popular restaurant, there are always a lot of people here. Yesterday was no exception, and there was a pretty long line outside. Fortunately, the line moved fairly quickly, so it didn't feel too bad. After we decided what to order, I was reminded again that the prices here are quite expensive for a restaurant located inside a food court. Last year, I ordered for all four of us at once, and the total came to almost $200. So this time, we decided to pay separately for my mom and myself, while my two brothers each paid for their own meals. I ordered two of my absolute favorite dishes here, the Tostada de Kanpachi & Uni. This is something I really love because it tastes so fresh and delicious every time I have it. It's definitely a must-order dish for me. I also ordered two Taco de Pescado al Carbón. Those four items alone came to about $70. I also remembered that I had tipped way too much here last year, so this time I only left a $5 tip. (It is the food court system, even they bring the foods to our table) That brought my total to $75. My brothers ordered the large Brazilian fish, the Tostada Uni, and ceviche. Everything we had was delicious overall, but honestly, the tacos I ordered yesterday were not really for my taste at all. So next time I come here, I don't think I'll order the same tacos again. On the way to the restroom, I noticed people at another table eating lobster. I asked them where they ordered it from, and they told me they ordered it from Holbox. It looked absolutely delicious, so I'm definitely going to try the lobster next time I come here. I also really like that they have a water station near the section where people line up outside. There are cups available there, so you can help yourself to water while waiting, which is very convenient. One downside is that the restroom always has a noticeable smell. Fortunately, it's located quite far away from the dining area, but it also doesn't look particularly clean or sanitary. Another thing is that you have to eat certain dishes, especially the tostadas and tacos, with your hands. I personally don't really like eating food with my hands, but with tostadas and tacos, there's really no other way. After washing my hands in the restroom, the smell of the liquid soap is also quite unpleasant and strong. Unfortunately, I can still smell the soap on my hands while I'm eating, which bothers me quite a bit. And because Holbox is always so incredibly popular, finding a table can be difficult. Luckily, we were able to get a table pretty quickly yesterday. Overall, I still really enjoy coming here for the fresh and delicious seafood, especially the Tostada de Kanpachi & Uni. Even though there are a few things I don't love about the experience, the food itself is definitely why I keep coming back.

    This place is a gem! First of all the place is big and family friendly, they even have happy hour!…read moreThe service is friendly and feels like your tias serving you a meal when you're over for a visit. :) Okay now to the food ,The best for last... drools ** the food is AMAZING!!! The flavors, the presentation, the freshness, the quality and the price are all there! We've gotten the mojarra, the garlic shrimp, the ceviche de pescado and the tacos, even the typical Mexican dishes and breakfasts! Flavor is always there in each bite. Grateful to have you guys in my neighborhood !

    Fresh and Flavorful Seafood I've visited this seafood spot…read moretwice recently, and both times the food was fresh and flavorful. The shrimp cocktail was especially good, with generously sized shrimp and a tasty cocktail sauce. My order had 14 shrimp, which felt like a fair portion for the price. It came with three tostadas, though only one hot sauce packet was included. That's a minor detail, but I would have appreciated extra packets. Good Value Seafood isn't cheap, but the prices here seem reasonable. They also offer weekday lunch specials that make items like the shrimp cocktail an even better deal. The campechana is another solid option and worth trying. Small Neighborhood Spot The restaurant itself is small, but there always seem to be customers inside, which says a lot. I also like that they decorate for holidays...it gives the place a welcoming neighborhood feel. Pickup Experience I've only ordered takeout, and my food has been ready quickly both times. Service was decent overall, although there was a brief moment during my last visit where I wasn't acknowledged right away while waiting for my order. Overall If you're craving a good shrimp cocktail or campechana, this local spot is worth checking out. Fresh seafood, fair prices, and a convenient neighborhood location make it a place I'll be visiting again.

    Came here for brunch and we are sure glad we did. The food was amazing from beginning to end…read more We started with the raw oysters which were perfectly shucked and cleaned. They had nice texture and a light brine taste. Then shifted to the fried green tomatoes which did not disappoint. They were perfectly crisp but not dry and had a fantastic sauce. Then came the red snapper cake Benedict which is usually crab, but they substituted snapper because they were out of the crab. We did not miss the crab as the snapper was delicious and the egg was perfectly poached. We finished the experience with the shrimp and grits. What a perfect ending to the great tasting food we have had so far. The grit was fabulous as was the shrimp and sauce. Our server Aries was great and honestly the entire staff was awesome. Everyone super pleasant. The space is not loud and has some soft music playing in the background. Easy to hold a conversation without yelling. We will absolutely be back!

    If you have a minute, I'd like to share a story:…read more I've been meaning to try this place for years, ever since I read their opening in the LA Times. In the article, they mentioned that they had a sandwhich in homage to Pok Pok, a legendary Thai place in Portland that was famous for their fish sauce chicken wings. Unfortunately, this sandwhich was only offered on the weekday lunch menu, which stymied my efforts to try it. In my mind, what I was expecting was a piece of fried chicken coated in the same sauce that Pok Pok was known for, turned into sandwhich form. The "Bring back pok pok" is not that. Which was a disappointment for all of 10 seconds. While the sandwhich was not what I was expecting, it was still excellent on its own merits. It's a fried chicken sandwhich but instead of lettuce and tomatoes, they've used some sort of dried pepper spread, thai basil (I think) and jalopenos). It reminded me more of a bahn mi. It's a flavor profile that works well. I tried a piece of my friends fried catfish, and it was similarly good. The catish was flaky without being dry, and not only was the breading well seasoned, but it was still crispy at the end of the meal. The only thing a little underwhelming was the cornbread. It wasn't bad, but it didn't feel like it did anything noteworthy, and ours could have used a bit more butter (or maybe some more salt). Our server was great, though it was easy for him since we were the only customers for a long while! Still he was easy to talk to and I appreciated how he kept stopping by to fill up our water (they use tiny glasses). The inside has nice "upscale casual" vibes. If I worked in downtown, I could see myself coming here after work. Overall, a pleasant surprise.
