Well the lady first rushed us into ordering, we ordered the seafood soup small and order of baby octopuses a corona and a modelo..... fish and chips.The food had no taste ,no flavor.. we never got the modelo...beer only the corona and when we tasted the sea food soup it barely had any sea food,mostly cabbage and tofu i think they only put 3 shrimp if that..and had little or no flavor this was a big disappointment especially if they are charging 40. Dollars for this soup... I've gone to Vietnamese restaurants and order the sea food soup and for alot less approximately 18-24 dollars with alot more sea food and more flavor.. The octopuses weren't cooked were cold barely cooked and of course no flavor had to order lemons and asked for tapatio... hot sauce...for $87.00 this was not worth it... dont recommend this place...In addition one of the guys was busy cleaning and spraying down and the lady asked him to make our food and instead of him taking his dirty cloves off he grabbed a rag and cleaned his gloves off... so I'm left with the assumption that he made our food with those dirty gloves... nasty... will never go here. I feel I should get atleast 40. Dollars back.

I have been coming here for over 25 years, and I have never left disappointed. Their live crab is the bomb and their spicy fish soup is the perfect finisher. They do get busy on the weekends so be sure to plan for that. Otherwise, put on the plastic bib and hammer away with their wooden hammers and eat the most succulent Dungeness crab that you have ever had.

Excellent fish, Korean style. Fish shack atmosphere, paper plates, plastic spoons, etc. High prices.

Not worth the $$$. Spent $85 per person. Ordered steamed clams, spicy fish stew, medium sashimi plate. Paper plates and plastic cups.

Korean-owned restaurant with ultra fresh Dungeness crab and tasty Korean mussel soup. Nice beer selection to boot. Ask for a window seat for a cool view.

Food might have given me an upset stomach so going forward I might not order the spicy fish soup, maybe more like a fish n chip thing would be safer, however, my highest rating is because your literally sitting over the ocean and the sounds of the crash waves right in your ear and good company for the even is what made this memorable...... also the bubble guts bit I'm not entirely sure it was the food........ mayb a bad coincidence.....

If you want seafood (live or cooked), this is the place to go. The food is market price and freshly caught. The staff don't keep bothering you after serving you with silly questions like "how's your food?" It's dead and being eaten that's what. I definitely recommend it for visitors and anyone who wants the Korean dining experience.

Omg, their Dungeness crab is delicious! It was cooked just right. The con is it was very pricey! The views were amazing as well. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars was because I didn't like the fact they made you pay first. I usually don't like putting a tip when I don't know how the service was going to be. Then, after I was done with my meal, they were harassing me for their tip!

3 people had a 3 crabs and 1 stew 2 beer, 1lb shrimp and one coke. Cost me 420 + 70 dollar tip. All prices were MP.... very questionable pricing.

The food is excellent! The prices, extravagant. But the freshness is forward in the tastes of the steamed clams, lobster, crab, shrimp, and even the salads. The service is minimalist, which I enjoy - pay and tip up front at the counter, then linger and enjoy as long as you want at your table. If you want additional garnishes or sauces, simply go and ask one of the staff and they will promptly accommodate. I will go back many times.

Terrible presence, especially the service! Hardly any specialties, the so-called few dishes are steamed, expensive prices, non-existent service. They seem to be more hospitable to Koreans (the native country). In short, I will not go there again, and I will feel disgusted if I pass by.
