Food: We ordered 2 orders of steamed crab, fries, a medium sashimi plate and the spicy seafood stew between 4 girls The crab here is cooked to perfection, the meat was sooo sweet and delicious. The sashimi was good but not particularly memorable. The seafood stew was also very delicious and I'd highly recommend it. The fries are very basic and I wouldn't get them again, it was just a filler because we were so hungry and most of the food was going to take a while. It is a bit pricey, but it was kind of expected since it's seafood.
Service: Good! The woman taking my order switched seamlessly from Korean to English!
The line wasn't too bad on the Saturday that we came! My friends said it can get pretty busy at night though.
Tips:
- My friends mixed the body of the crab with rice and their spicy sauce and it was delicious! -

Came to this little joint on a Tuesday night and it was pretty empty. I came with as a group of 5 adults and 1 child. We partook of a sashimi platter, crabs, shrimp (no head), and the seafood soup. I think there's something fun about cracking the crab legs with a little hammer, but it kind of looses its luster after about 5 minutes (or maybe that's just me bc i just want unhindered eating).
Overall, the food was okay, but it wasn't phenomenal. Again, i think the novelty of this place is getting messy with your bare hands and hammering away. but if you're coming for quality food or whatnot, i'd direct you elsewhere. the sashimi was also just okay and so was the soup at the end (which took a long time to come out).
I think this place is more reminiscent of my childhood and so there's some nostalgia there. But I won't be going out of my way to come here for a date night or anything. Spent about 2-3 hours here, eating and waiting for food.
Pretty pricey in the end for the amount of food and beer we got for 5 people (and chicken tenders for about $12 for the toddler).
Parking: the lot is $2 per hour (prepaid in advance). not too bad price wise. -

Right off the beach, this is a good but pricey place for Dungeness crab. I came here with my Korean friends and had no idea there was even a Korean restaurant in the area.
I love me some crab! I doused my crab in the butter, which of course tasted great...but in hindsight, if it needed that much butter- was the crab itself good?
All in all, I think it was a good (and messy!) experience. It ended up being pricey for what we had. -

Simple and fun spot to go for some seafood and beer/soju
Located right on the pier with a great view of the beach. Vibe is fun and family oriented. The seafood and crab were fresh and very tasteful. It can get pretty busy at times, but moves quickly.
Overall reminiscent of my younger days going out there as a kid and still the fun vibe as an adult. Recommended. -

Literally four minutes before the place opens, I walked into the restaurant. I was told they were not open but I could look at the menu. I was looking at the menu on the board and asked what sea squirt was. The lady said for me to use my dictionary. I kept looking at the menu and literally two minutes before I establishment opened- I was asked to leave until the place was open.
Horrible customer service. I am appalled.
