Krab Bros-Boiled Seafood (and another meal at Zion Market Food Court)

mmm-yoso!!! is being written (again) by Cathy, while Kirk is not writing, but is, instead, researching.

I wrote about every eatery in the Zion Food Court in a July 2021 post.  There were changes in July and again in August of 2022.  Here's another one.

 In the far corner, the former Sinjeon Food Sys (prior it was CDD Tofu and Grill) has turned into Krab Bros- a boiled seafood restaurant. 
 A simple menu is always appreciated. 
 The lunch shrimp platter ($14.99) with chosen flavors of original butter, garlic parmesan and Bros Cajun was an excellent choice.  This platter has ten shrimp, a boiled egg, sausage, corn and tiny whole potatoes, all coated in the chosen flavors.  The shrimp were quite large, very plump and had good flavor when I tasted a bit without any flavor coating.  I liked the sausage, egg and corn and especially the small, skin-on potatoes; it was a well balanced meal and quite enough to share.

 I walked over to Boba Bar and ordered a mango slush ($5) for us to share.  We had already shopped inside the Zion Grocery store.

We had chosen some 'snacks', from the heat trays at the back of the market between the meat and fish counters.  (There were leftovers, which would become dinner).

Batter fried squid; always good.  Mushroom pancake; eggy.  Light battered fish filets.  Pickled radishes.  In total it was a bit less than $20- the prepared food is sold by the pound.  When you are paying at the checkout, the cashiers have chopsticks and napkins.

I noticed the Krab Bros, but I was there too early. I like Zion's sushi rolls; quality isn't bad for supermarket sushi. I will look for the batter fried squid next time.

looks like a lot of food!

The sushi at Zion is constantly made, so is always fresh, Sandy. The squid itself is buttery and the batter is never really greasy. Krab Bros is unusual for a food court and very good.

This really was two full meals, Kat. Fortunately, the store items are in reusable containers (good well fitted lids).

Bummer that Zion has to move soon. That whole lot is supposed to turn into housing.

We enjoyed the 'original' tiny Zion location with only three restaurants and the bakery (where the Mercedes Benz dealer is now located), Junichi. This location -the market as well as the Food Court- is just the perfect size. The architectural drawings of the new location make the footprint seem so small.
