A large crab gejang house on the Bongsan-dong gejang alley in Yeosu. Everything is a per-person set: stone crab gejang at 16,000 won, sets with braised hairtail or grilled fish at 22,000 to 25,000 won, and the mixed blue-crab set at 37,000 won, served after a spread of side dishes with crab doenjang soup. There is a main building and an annex; the address on this page (Bongsannam 3-gil 26) is the annex, while nearly every visit post checked in at the main building (Bongsannam 4-gil 23-32). We read 18 posts dated 5 August to 19 October 2026; 9 of them describe actually eating here.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Gejang refills are part of the meal. Seven of the nine visit posts mention them, three of those say three refills, and two note that even with the blue-crab set the refills come as small stone crab. One post says two refills at most.
- Despite its fame, no post reports waiting. Three walked straight in: a Friday lunch, around 11:30 on a weekday, and a July visit. One more said turnover was fast enough that it never felt like a long wait. One post mentions a waiting area at the entrance.
- Posts describe it as family-friendly. Three mention high chairs, there is a children's set, and one group of adults went with several preschoolers, another with a seven-year-old.
- The soy crab is repeatedly called not salty: three posts say so, one adding that the spicy version isn't hot, just sweet-spicy. One post found the spicy marinade didn't cling to the meat and said they would not return.
1 more
- It is not a quiet room: one post found the hall nearly full and noisy at mealtime, another likened it to a crab factory. Two posts say food came out quickly.

The alley is narrow but the restaurant has its own lots. Seven of the nine visit posts found parking easy, several mentioning attendants directing cars. One visitor parked easily around 2 p.m. on a weekday but doubted it would help on a busy weekend.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
Getting inside
| Toilet inside | 1 of 9 posts |
|---|---|
| Separate restrooms | 1 of 9 posts |
No post says which floor the dining room is on or whether there are stairs. That means nobody wrote about it, not that there are none.
Nobody wrote about a step at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access. One post notes both table seating and floor seating.
One post says the restrooms are inside and separated by gender; another found liquid toothpaste by the sink for washing off the crab smell.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 14 posts we gathered, 5 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- The registered address here, Bongsannam 3-gil 26, is the annex, which one post describes as reserved for group bookings. Small parties will likely be seated at the main building on Bongsannam 4-gil.
- Five posts give the same hours, 7:00 to 21:00. Last order is 20:10 in three posts and 20:15 in one. No post mentions a closing day, and some of these hours were copied from info blocks.
- Visit posts from Sep to Oct 2026 agree on prices, but one listicle gives the hairtail set as 18,000 won rather than 22,000. One visitor found it a few thousand won pricier than neighbouring gejang houses.
- No post describes arriving by bus or train. "Ten minutes by taxi from Expo Station" is copied info, and one family went by taxi. We don't know how practical public transport is.
- Two different phone numbers appear, 0507-1406-7855 and 010-4605-7855, each in one post, so we can't tell which is current. Beyond the annex being for group bookings, no post covers reservations.
- Of the 18 posts, three are look-alike listicles compiled from maps and tourism pages, and one reads like keyword-stuffed promotional copy. We did not count the listicles, and we did not rely on the promotional post's claims about Dyson dryers or fifteen side dishes.
