  Sharing a few practical tips: the place is inside a mall and honestly kinda easy to miss, so keep your eyes on the signs. If you go on a weekend during dinner rush there's gonna be a wait, I'd suggest going off-peak. The marinated crab is their signature — the spicy one and the soy sauce one were both super fresh, meat was tender and soft, though to be fair some people might not be used to eating it raw/pickled like that. The group deal on the app is really good value, and when you order crab they bring out little side dishes too. Space isn't huge but the auntie who helped grill the meat was so sweet, and the pumpkin congee was cut really fine, tasted great and you can get refills. Great spot if you wanna try Korean-style marinated crab and some creative grilled meat for the first time, but if you're looking for a quiet spacious vibe this place is probably a bit too lively.
