🦀 NYC's Best Korean Raw Crab & Seafood Spot | Rice Thief in LIC

If you’re craving authentic Korean-style raw marinated seafood without flying to Seoul, Rice Thief in Long Island City is your go-to. The space is cozy and warm, filled with K-pop tunes and wooden accents — it feels like a hidden gem straight out of Korea. 🎵🇰🇷 🦀 Spicy Marinated Seafood Platter ⭐ A generous spread featuring 3 spicy crabs, 4 red shrimp, 6 white shrimp, 2 abalones, plus rice and seaweed wraps. The red shrimp were especially plump and fresh! Compared to the pricier Gunsan Platter ($129), this $89 option gives you more variety and is perfect for sharing. 🌮 Pork Belly Kimchi Pancake Crispy, flavorful, and surprisingly large — a tasty savory addition. 🍲 Braised Beef Stew Thin-sliced beef in a salty broth — decent but not the star. Service is thoughtful (aprons and gloves provided!), and the vibe is lively yet relaxed. For raw crab lovers, this is a must-visit — next up, maybe Fort Lee! 😉 📍 Rice Thief – Long Island City, NYC 💰 Around $50 per person #RiceThief #KoreanRawCrab #LICFood #NYCKoreanFood #MarinatedSeafood #KpopVibes #NYCEats #SeafoodLovers #HiddenGem #NYCRestaurants #FoodieHeaven
