Love their steamed egg. The soy-marinated raw crabs are delicious but too expensive for just 2pcs serving. Roasted "butter" Abalone is overcooked, kinda disappointing because they use margarine instead of butter which ruined the dish for me. overall I'd say it's slightly worth the try but won't be coming back. Food quality and taste doesn't match the premium price tag.

Note that this place is being renovated and sections look dirty ghastly. But let’s jump to the good stuff. We came here primarily to try for the very first time the raw marinated crab and it did not disappoint. I don’t know if I will ever develop a craving for it but it’s definitely tasty.

Daraejung offers a mixed bag when it comes to delivering authentic Korean cuisine. The banchans served were pretty standard, nothing out of the ordinary but decent enough to start the meal. However, the main reason for our visit, the soy marinated crab, was somewhat disappointing. Unlike the delicate balance typically found in Korea, these were overly sweet, too salty, and had an unpleasant fishy smell, which might not sit well with everyone. On a brighter note, the Kimchi stew at Daraejung was a standout. It was wonderfully thick and creamy, with just the right level of spice and seasoning …

Food is not that good. Service is really bad when it gets busy— you’ll have to stand and shout at the servers to get them to come to you. However, it’s the only samgyup open for 24h in the area.
