A tucked away, K-town strip mall eatery features the freshest, crabbiest Korean crab. If the incredibly popular tasting menu is any indication, the seafood and stew are sublime.
Get the combo B and get ready to really dig in. Each table gets an entire box of plastic food-handling gloves for good reason, and you’ll never leave the table without something orange staining your chin.
Honestly, just give me a bowl of rice and a bunch of Banchan and I don’t even need the food. Theirs cover all the bases. There's fish cakes and greens with tofu, classic kimchi and pickles, seaweed and bean sprouts.
Goes well with the combo kick-off of Kimchi Pancake.
Spicy Marinated Crab has a bright red sauce that's sweet and slightly spice with a feel like gochujang. The crab meat is a semi-cooked texture, not obviously raw but not the meaty steamed stuff either.
Soy-marinated Crab is a new adventure, a whole raw sea-stinging crab full of gooey roe. Best when consumed over warm purple rice. Spoon some rice into the shell as well and mix it up with the guts for some extra savor.
The Spicy Seafood Stew is a sea-savory soup with a sweeter finish, full of chunks of fish, head-on shrimp and even an entire octopus. It’s not extremely fishy, though it's clearly seafood-forward, and it has an indescribable finishing flavor that saturates your senses and really makes you pause.
The Seafood Pancake was an add-on of our choosing, an egg-based mix of calamari, shrimp, and so many leeks. Didn't need it but didn't regret it either.
It’s all about exploring new eats, and learning more about Korean cuisine has always been a goal. There is so much color, so much richness, so much depth, and of all the new-food experiences I've had, Rich Crab has been among the best this year.
