Myung San Restaurant

Wouldn’t really call it a hole in the wall restaurant, but it certainly has the atmosphere of tradition. Came for the raw marinated crabs and got the bibimbap along with it. Both were great and filling and came to a total of around $44. The service is a bit slow as there were only 2 employees in the front of house. You can seat yourself when you walk in and they’ll bring some menus to you and water after, if they aren’t busy with other customers. It is common to see the older korean generation here, really makes the place more authentic if the workers there wasn’t enough. They give plenty of side dishes, my favorite were the cucumbers which were crisp and not overly salted. My least favorite would be what I assume was perilla leaf, but that’s just personal taste. The bibimbap and crabs came with its own rice, one purple grain and the other plain white. Would come again for a homely meal, or a meal before going to the cafe next door.

The seafood pancake was really good. The raw crab in soy was great with rice, but the crab were small and they didn't have anything to crack the claws and the shell was really hard. The short ribs cassrole were really good too has a small spicy kick to it. The store is kind of small but next door is actually owned by the same person and has the same menu.

Low-key, humble place frequented by Koreans. Their soy-marinated raw crabs were really good although the sizes were on the small side. Their seafood scallion pancake was very good; probably one of the best I've ever had. Their bean curd soup was really bad, however. Probably not their specialty but it was bland and also needed more pork in it. I'd go back for their crabs.
