After a Magic Straight Perm, a hair cut, a bag of Chrysanthemum Bread, and a tour of Beverly Hills, we decided to head back to Korea Town for some good seafood:
one happy family :)
Appetizers which include a salad, spicy rice cake with seafood cooked on a table grill, dynamite, Korean pancake, sweet potato tempura, porridge, mussel stew, stir fried udon, etc.
After you finish the clams, scallops, mussels, oysters, grilled shrimps, octopus, and squid, the waiter cooks rice in one of the shells with spicy sauce and seaweed… heavenly.
Seafood galore for $39.99
We ate until we couldn’t breathe anymore, then took some home for lunch the next day.
I had always wanted try a clam place (it’s very popular in Korea), yet didn’t think I would be able to see one in the states anytime soon. So glad I discovered this place. I would choose clams over meat anytime.

I’m still scared of jogae gui in the states. It’s just too cheap, and there’s no chefery involved, just the same servers that could be cutting up your LA kalbi instead. Walked by this place a coupla times, but still haven’t yet partaken the food festivities.
Is it still there? The one in Orange County closed down. :**(
It’s actually really really good.. though I may be biased because of my love for seafood. but as you say, I don’t know much about its cleanliness. I didn’t get sick or anything, so I figure it’s safe at least? lol
