Read guide →Japanese cuisine has deep roots in Seoul, shaped by geographic proximity and a long shared history. Seoul-style Japanese restaurants range from affordable sushi conveyor belts and ramen shops to high-end omakase counters. Quality fish is flown in daily, and Korean chefs often put their own spin on Japanese classics — thicker broths, spicier condiments, and seasonal Korean ingredients woven into traditional recipes.
Gangseo-gu in western Seoul is a rapidly developing residential and commercial district near Gimpo Airport. The area has a growing food scene with a mix of established Korean restaurant clusters and newer commercial developments bringing café chains and international options to the expanding population.
Very delicious blue soy crab. The marination was spot on. All the side dishes were tasty and provided breadth to the flavor of the crab. In the philosophy of chef Anh, I don’t think there was any redundant side dish given.
The most delicious soy sauce crab! Soy sauce crab is raw crab marinated in soy sauce and spice. The crab therefore must be very very fresh when it is marinated. The crab meat can be easily sucked out and is the best compliment to rice. You can eat much rice with soy sauce crab. The crab served here is very large and meaty! The marinate is not as strong as those in other places. The taste of the marinate is light. But the crab is so fresh and delicious. There are many side dishes. All of them are good in taste. We went there after 2pm without reservation. Fortunately they can slip us in. The price is not expensive, especially compared with the size and the freshness of the crab.
Make sure come here hungry. They only have one option and it’s a feast. Extremely fast service but I did find some of the servers to be rude. In terms of taste, I’d say it’s okay, not my first choice for food options. I think the soy sauce can be too overpowering. Still definitely worth a try if you want something new/different
