Star King Crab — Restaurant in Seoul

As someone who loves king crab, this place was a dream come true. They serve live, fresh king and snow crabs. You choose your type and desired size of crab, and select how you’d like it prepared (steamed or grilled with butter). As of Sept, the price were 129k/kg for king crab, and 99k/kg for snow crab. They recommended a pound of crab per person, but accommodated the four of us when we asked for a 2lb king crab, which we asked for half of it to be steamed and half grilled. The natural taste of the crab was delicious, but we all favored the tastier butter grilled crab over the steamed ones. We quickly realized our mistake when we were done eating our 2lb crab, as we wanted more and ended up ordering another 2lb grilled. I believe there was also a 15k charge for shrimps and abalone, and we requested that. Next time we will take the staff’s suggestion and order one giant 4lb king crab as opposed to...

Seems to be family owned. Family who can't cook and can't be bothered to serve. Unless you're having the expensive items (king crab/snow crab/lobster), don't bother expecting any service. Whoever helms the kitchen can't cook either and that's probably why their main business is selling steamed/grilled crab that requires no skills.

Dined solo. Ordered the crab ramen and crab miso rice. I'm quite sure the Crab ramen is literally an instant ramen. Add in two small throwaway pieces of blue crab with hardly any meat, some chunks of surimi and there you have it, crab ramen at quadruple the price of instant ramen. Crab miss rice tasted nothing like crab nor miso. It just tasted of seaweed. Highly doubt there's anything related to crab added into it.

Very, very...

If you’re not Korean, don’t bother going here. I am not sure if the restaurant staff does not like foreigners or if they don’t speak English so they make minimal contact and barely try communicating. The waitress looked pissed when we walked in however was pleasant to the local people. The waitress was rude and when she brought out food, did not tell us which dish was which and placed it in front of different people so we didn’t get what we actually ordered. Isn’t it common sense to ask who ordered what even if there’s a language difference? When we asked for help or for our food, she actually walked away without helping. The restaurant is old and looks dirty. Save your money and go somewhere else. If I can give negative stars or leave a comment...
