" Had a wonderful time at Ondal! The steamed crab and the seafood pot were superb, showcasing Korean flavors wonderfully. The atmosphere was nice, though it can get a bit busy. Service was still attentive, and I can't complain about the food's authenticity. It's a place worth coming back to! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family enjoyed dinner here, with a special shoutout to the seafood pot! It tasted amazing and the service was prompt. The atmosphere reminded me of Korea, which I think is a big plus! However, I do wish they would offer more value in their portions without sacrificing the quality. We'll visit again to try different menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a weekday evening, and it was pretty packed. I was impressed by the service despite the busyness. The seafood was fresh, and the spicy crab was particularly good! On the money end, it wasn't the cheapest meal, but the quality made up for it. Would visit again, especially for the crab dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed the seafood pot and thought the flavors were truly wonderful. Service was attentive, though the place felt a little cramped. I wished they offered more English menus, as some items were hard to decipher. The pricing was acceptable for the quality, and I definitely would return for the overall experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Truly a hidden gem in Koreatown! Ondal Crab House has stolen my heart with their amazing seafood dishes. I ordered a large seafood pot and it was enough to feed a small army! The flavors were authentically Korean, and they used fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a great spot for family dinners. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic dive into authentic Korean seafood cuisine! The spicy crab overwhelmingly burst with flavor while the seafood soup was comforting and rich. I was impressed with the staff’s knowledge of the dishes and their great recommendations. I will definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Totally disappointed with my visit. The crab was overcooked and quite pricey for such bad quality. To make matters worse, the service was lousy, and the staff was rude when we expressed our discontent. I wouldn’t recommend this place based on what I experienced. I believe there are better seafood places around Koreatown where you can spend your money wisely. " (*Curated Review*)
