" I had an enjoyable evening at Ahjae Gookbap. The ambiance was inviting and the service staff attentive. We ordered the crab and other specialties, all of which were tasty. While I thought the portion sizes were okay, I would love to see more generous servings. Definitely worth a try for anyone craving authentic Korean food! " (*Curated Review*)

" All around, a satisfying meal. The raw crab was quite fresh and the flavors were impressive. The warmth of the service made me feel welcome. Notably, the restaurant itself is small, which could be a drawback for some folks. I appreciate they focus on authenticity with their dishes, which can sometimes be hard to find!

" This place is where I finally got to try ganjang gejang, and it was heavenly! The flavors were explosive without being overpowering, just perfectly balanced. When it comes to atmosphere, the restaurant is small and intimate, which is nice. The only downside was that the wait for our food was longer than expected. Overall, a fantastic experience, I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a hidden gem! The flavors in their dishes are so authentic that they feel like home-cooked meals. I really enjoyed the marinated crab, which was delightful and paired well with everything. The only downside is the limited space, which makes it a bit cramped. However, the warm service makes up for that. " (*Curated Review*)

" So happy I tried this restaurant! The raw crab was fresh and flavorful, and the accompanying dishes complemented it nicely. The service was friendly, though the wait time was a bit longer than I'd hoped. The quaint decor and bustling atmosphere added to the experience – such a great spot for Korean food enthusiasts!
