What is ganjang gejang?
Raw crab marinated in soy sauce. It's the dish Koreans call a "rice thief" because you keep eating rice to have more of it, and it's what we're known for.
Is the seafood raw?
Our marinated crabs and shrimp are served raw. Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness. Please tell us about allergies when you order.
Do you have cooked dishes too?
Yes: gamjatang, braised pig trotters and other Korean stews alongside the marinated seafood.
