Ahyeon-dong Ganjang Gejang

The main point that they sell little crab which cost 14.000 won for people who want to try it because this dish is not everyone cup of tea. They sell fried squid, soup, and stir fried pork too for others who can't eat the fermented crab. And the owner speak English fluently, it is a coinvenience for us as foreigner to make communication easy.

It is a small restaurant not even has a toilet but share their own toilet with their neighbor . The crab were fresh both types. The soy sauce ones were a bit small but the spicy one were big. Both taste good. Soy sauce is not too either salty nor sweet. The spicy one was tasted just right for me not too sweet or spicy. We ended up ordered one more soy sauce type and spicy type!

A great place for us (as foreign tourists) to try our first Gejang (raw marinated crab). We tried both spicy (Ganjang Gejang) and Soy (Yangnyeom Gejang). The owner was super friendly and helpful in English walking us through tips for enjoying the crab! The panchan (sides) were also very nice accompaniments and we had enjoyed our food with some nice Maekgoli (bubbly rice wine) which made for a nice finish!

A tourist-friendly Korean restaurant where the staff can speak English! Quiet ambience. Soy sauce marinated crab is not as meaty as expected but tastes fresh and has a good amount of roe. It’s served with hot tofu stew and purple rice too.

This place is quite nice. The owner is quite fluent in English. I especially liked the soy marinated crab. I found it quite fresh and sweet. But my sis says there’s a bit of fishy taste, so people who are sensitive to that may not like it as much. The spicy marinate is not as nice. It covers the taste of the crab I think, and the marinate is not as fragrant. It was nice that they had cooked meat/squid options for people in the group that did not like raw crab. We ordered spicy pork and squid, but those were pretty average, definitely not as good as the crab. My only complaint I guess is that the crab portion size is a bit small…I think it was just 1 small crab for a single serving for 23,000 won…considering there are crab buffets for around 10-20k won more.

Have to give this a 5 stars as it’s the best ganjang gejang I’ve tried and so much better than Singapore, cheaper too! The soy sauce one is really tasty and fresh, while the spicy one is damn shiok. Owner was really nice as we were there before it’s closing for lunch break but they let us in knowing we are tourists. Will be back again!

Crab is fresh and taste great with the rice and seaweed. Hot soup on the house compliments well with the cold crab and rice. My partner is not a fan of raw crab hence we ordered the spicy octopus, not great really. The dish was watery and probably the least tasty spicy nakji dish I have ever tasted so far, maybe it's a different recipe of its own. Then again, it's a raw crab shop and the crab is definitely decent. Next trip I will try out the ganjang gejang buffets that's been running wild on tiktok. I spotted one at Gwangjang market too but didn't have space for it at that time.

Really food cold crab with a very friendly host. They have a few types of crabs to choose from so it does warrant a few repeat visits. Only thing to note is the bathroom is outdoors so best to wear the provided plastic gloves when eating!
