- Soban in Los Angeles is known for their ganjang gaejang, a delicacy in Korean cuisine that involves the fermentation of raw crab in soy sauce along with a variety of herbs and spices. In this episode, host Matthew Kang pays Soban a visit in order to sample the dish, one that is not as common outside of Korea.

My mom would make this for me when I was younger. I am starting to realize how lit the food I ate as a child was.
ktspaz Korean moms are the best!!! You realize when you grow up how good you used to eat. Everything from scratch and so delicious.
Yuo
I envy you. This is a delicious dish.
Me too! I’m so sorry I took it all for granted when I was a kid. Now I would kill to eat all the amazing Korean dishes my mom made daily 😭😭😭
is it
safe to eat???

Wow that's 2015 goodness
Apparently, Bong Jong Ho and his whole team celebrated their Oscar night at this small restaurant till 5 AM. Would of been a sight to see them all drunk, sucking the life out of raw crabs.
I wish I was a crab getting my life sucked out of me by Park So Dam
Are you feeling it now Mr. Krabs?
kek
*static inaudible yelling*
Chaotic noodles LMAO
Feeling dead
When I was first served this, I was legit scared and concerned like how can we eat raw crabs. But then I saw every one else eating it and they must be okay so I dug into a little bite...insert fireworks in my mouth! Holy $hit, it was so good I couldn't remember anything else that good in a long time!
I love this series and how you are sharing the Korean food scene with us. I hope one day you will come to Canada to film some episodes. I love how you always take the time to thank your viewers for watching at the end.
i had something familiar in Hawaii. Kimchi blue crab poke I believe it was. Still think about that dish 3 years later!
We ate some crab poke with Lucas while we were in Hawaii!

Oh yeah totally forgot about that episode! thanks!
I had crab poke when I was in Hawaii too it was pretty good
had this at a hole in the wall but extremely famous restaurant in korea. amazing. 1000/1000 would have again. best meal i've had in korea i think.
You know he is a real deal when he can describe food very well and not only yeah it is great. Come on. Give us more descriptions
Really enjoy watching these K-Town videos! I may not be Korean but I am a HUGE FAN of the cuisine!! It also doesn't help me if I watch these vidoes at an ungodly hour of night where I am.. always, ALWAYS get these terrible cravings..
#proudasianhere
Its amazing to have eater have a korean centric food video section!!
Marinated crab is one of my favorite korean foods!
I'm salivating while watching this too much it's cruel.
Ive had this once when my grandmother sent it over from Korea, and I krave it everyday
imagine if you took that juice and dumped it into fried rice during cooking
The ultimate heart attack, although I'd probably take one or two bites. Fried rice is more unhealthy than fries and soda.
RoboticusMusic what? No it isn’t, make it yourself and see how little oil you need
@@RoboticusMusic "Fried rice is more unhealthy than fries and soda." LOL, who told you this? where are you getting your fried rice?
@@phuckenehh Bro I don't eat that garbage, it's for birds.
@@RoboticusMusic do you eat fries and drink soda?
Never had it but heard people who try it get hooked
Soban's 13 banchan also sets it apart from other places but yes that crab is on point, mix rice inside the body and heaven baby!
you could find raw crab at H mart. I've had it before and it's pretty good. H mart has the best marinated meats and banchan.
Dude you have to put the rice into the crab shell and mix it up with the marinade! Smh
"What are you eating there, Timmy?" Timmy: "DEEEEER ANTLERSSSS"
I’ve never had this but would love to try it, any suggestions Houston area?
I can't eat crab anymore but I'm admiring all that banChan
I like the gocchujang version more. The soy sauce one can get really salty after a few bites, and yes I've had it at the place he's eating
Auto magically discrediting you
Lee you're discrediting yourself when you say that
Korean ceviche. Cool.
In Hawaii we have White Crab poke, so bomb!
Laotian cuisine's main dishes are fermented crab/fermented fish and their sticky rice. Most of their dishes have fermented crab and are eaten with sticky rice. However, the fermented crab or fish wouldn't be tasty on its own probably.
I had raw crab 🦀 and done right has sea sweet taste
no you put a nice scoop of rice into the shell and mix it then eat it! Come on bro!
This guy is a great host. He needs to do more series!
I agree he is a breath of fresh air.
its 430am and now in starving loll.. worth the tum ache
게 딱지에 밥을 비비무야지...
He should have put some rice on the shell and mix them. Shell is the crown jewel of ganjangejang.
I am going!
I make a sour sweet spicy version, super good I love raw crab
Just now I wished I were Korean.👍
WHY DON'T YOU DUMP YOUR RICE ON THE CRAB SHELL??!!!!!!
The crab isn't really "raw" per se. Considering there is a fermentation process, the acidity in the marinade kinda "cooks" the meat.
O2 Rin soju. Interesting that they get that in America. That's the local Daejeon brand over here.
nice
(chill electronic music)
sold
Where is this restaurant!?????
다른 간장게장집 추천해주실분! 한인타운에 안사는 사람들은 이런거 먹고 싶은데 정보가 없어서 가서도 못먹어요. 추천 부탁 드립니다.
Radical! Mathematical! +1
Kang must have been going all night after this shoot
수육 is also really good.
review the restaurant david chang went to with buzzfeed where he was eating marinated crab as a sidedish and he was surprised by how good it was

is eater ever thinking to try indonesia food?
holy sht theres so much banchan
Our boy is wearing raw denim!!
Just tried it. Unfortunately it was way too fishy for me. It was expensive too, $31 per plate.
For another Atlanta Koreatown vlog: ua-cam.com/video/1xkbdIyO87A/v-deo.html
All of the restaurants in this video are highly recommended!

if you try and eat raw crab without cooking or marinating, you're gonna get really sick. it's easy to marinate not long enough or too long and get very sick. i think it's important for people to know what it tastes like before making it themselves so that they know what it's like when safe.
id love to try but mu stomache tends to spoil with raww crab or lobster.
I don't understand how the crab on hot unseasoned rice is similar to raw scallop on cold seasoned sushi rice.
Big Baller Brand way!!!
So they legit get the crab out of the water and dump soy sauce on it ? No boiling at all then freezing?
the right way is to eat it is with rice and seaweed wrap
Can you use mud crab?
Flipflop
Crabs never been a filling meal for me. I always end up getting something else
I surprisingly love raw crab 😋
Iliğini emicen ustaaaa
First time to be first... man only 6 views...
Decomposing crab meat seems to be tasty.
so the crab is pickled?? that would preserve it from spoiling??
The salt in soy sauce does the trick. The salt and acidity sanitize and preserve the crab.
For christ sakes. You just had to make a video on my favourite food
the video made the whole process look simple and easy but dont wver try this at home by yourself. it is difficult and complicated i swear. in order to make the crab safe for eating raw the crabs are submerged into the soy sauce mixture and then you take them out to boil the soy sauce to kill any possible germs in it. after cooling the soy sauce you submerge the crabs again and the process is repeated at least three to five times. this is why the dish is so expensive. even in korea you have to pay about 40 dollars per one crab in general.
There are so many things in front of him lmao
+Maangchi
Eater stop showing these 백인s the shaolin secrets
seavseabsean lmao
Have a proper bite man!!!!!!! Geez
Its kinda a south asian cuisine. Each family's recipe can be quite different. But the main thing about the dish is the right crab. I havent had any in years but I miss it so so much
Anyone ate Shanghai drunken crabs before？
YES! DIVINE! How do you know? My good friend gave me in San Francisco a piece that her family brought over for her from Hong Kong. Her family is a major foodie-- money helps to nurture good tastes-- & of Shanghai descent. The Shanghai Chinese version is a lot more straightforward, clean-tasting, salty though, yet sophisticated, adult, humourous & intoxicating in hedonism... What do you think if you have eaten it?
Damian Rhea Well I'm Chinese,I may not be a foodie but everyone love good food,a friend of mine brought me some crabs from a famous Shanghai private kitchen,and that's where I got to tried the best way to eat crabs.
Private kitchen or 私房菜,is a special kinda restaurant business in China,traditionally,the chef,the waiter,the manager are all the same person,their home houses are usually their restaurant,and they usually have only 1 to 3 tables,if you want to eat there,boy you need to wait like 2 whole years,these people are making some of the best food out there,but their stuff are straight forward and pure,they don't make fancy stuff like a high-end restaurant,but their food won't lose to any of those restaurants,if you can get your crabs from one of those famous private kitchen in Shanghai?Baby that's like the best crabs you can ever eat,A Bite of China,the most famous Chinese food documentary on the planet right now,actually choose to film a private kitchen in Shanghai when it comes to the drunken crabs part instead of any of those fancy restaurants in Shanghai.
Rui M Thank you so much! Yes, I think I've seen that episode of "A Bite of China"-- the lady first kept the crabs alive in her clean bathtub. My friend, a Chinese-expert Caucasian American woman, who's a PhD in Chinese Study from University of California, Los Angeles, recommended her undergraduate students of Chinese study at Pepperdine University in Los Angeles to watch "A Bite of China", too.
Agent Orange You sound hella jealous!
Agent Orange Who's talking about your proximity to any Asian community? Get a life. Good luck.
This guy is the asian Andrew Zimmern.
ITS RRRRAAAAAWWWWWWWW
just think how good it would taste cooked.
Let's just ignore the other 20 dishes on the table eh?
Its just side dishes
PartiallyDrunk Ban chan
rawe bishara BAN CHANNN
rawe bishara tfw you fail at being a smartass but 25 other people agree with you.
Actually, with Soy Crab and rice, you don't need anything else.
Imagine world's best butter or cheese and the nice, hot, fresh bread. It's done.
Strangely how Korean stole this and frame it as a traditional Korean food now
밥도두우우욱
poyapie 수육이 더 맛있는 것 같은데...ㅇㅈ?
교포였어요? 그걸 어케아나요?
동주 yass im korean american
He can't even look at the camera when he's explaining what he put in he's mouth
Woah there.
looks like u want too throw up lmfao
don'r crabs have parasites in them?
Itll put a hole in your chain mail
The only sweet thing about crab is that u get it from sex.
Dead raw crabs imported from Korea? Sounds like an easy way to have food poisoning unless you have some same day delivery cross the globe.
The sauce seems like a combination influence of Chinese herbals and Japanese cooking sauce.
All the hosts in Eater have this OCD attitude towards verbal diarrhoea...
Raw crab is cooking?
is that the korean ceviche?
Looks good might be good
still wouldnt eat it
I'd eat it but, not sold on the dude in the video..Thx Eater.
Foodpimpz I just saw one other review in sync w/ yours. Check out "LaCeletria" Thank U for your info
동주 That happens to a lot (not all) of “Koreans” who have pretty much lived their entire lives in the US. I don’t think it’s wrong to be “Americanized” cause you obviously also want to adopt the ways and culture of your home country however the parents should’ve also stressed more cultural teachings on the Korean heritages of their children at home (which isn’t always the case as I have people like my friend who is fully Korean but American and cannot speak a word of Korean.)
You spend more energy trying to crack that thing open than you get from its meagre contents.
crab is still alive when they put it in the soy sauce so crab breathing soy sauce for days before die
Of course, for this publicity video, you are given the most complete crab in an impressive presentation. The night I went there, our table and the 3 next to us were served dark chopped pieces that seemed over-marinated in soy, also ridiculously overpriced. The other dishes were really not professional quality and overpriced also. However, the side dishes were very elaborate and well done. I say not to risk your time & money, for the same price, go for GOOD Japanese or Chinese restaurants instead.
It used to be a hidden gem until Jonathan Gold reviewed it some years ago. Then prices crept up, and consistency dropped.
So your one experience there allows you to generalize about all Korean food to make it subservient to Japanese and Chinese cuisine? They're ALL good.
orchidmsc Nah, he's just commenting on this restaurant being overpriced...
LaCelestia thanks for a heads up. Really can't trust the Chinese. I'll go get some Japanese instead
Nick Smith No. I think LaCeletia is commenting on the quality of food mostly, not just the price. The other comments concur as to the inconsistency problem, other Korean restaurants in the neighborhood being better, etc..
Ayyyy, if thats one of the greatest dishes then i wonder what horrid maddening creations are down the ladder.
so, you tried it to make that assumption? everything depends on your taste and willingness to go beyond your mashed potatoes with steak. I never tried this raw crab, but it looks intriguing, would totally snack on that! be alive and try new things dude!
Elyoslayer i tried it once st a kbbq restaurant it's actually really good and tender
Elyoslayer it's pretty obvious, right? Your MOM.
Crabs eat dead things or things in the Sea that are dying does anyone get parasites
I had this today and it was so salty it was unbearable. Disappointed
i love crab and love korean food, but raw crab no thanks
