Kkotdol Gejang Ilbeonga

꽃돌게장1번가 Kkot and dol come from kkotge (blue crab) and dolge (small rock crab), the two crabs the house marinates; gejang is raw crab cured in soy or chili sauce, and ilbeonga means 'First Avenue'.

Compiled from 24 blog posts read in fullSources →

A crab house filling an entire two-storey building on the gejang street of Bongsan-dong, Yeosu (36 Bongsan 2-ro). The signature is the 35,000-won-per-person blue crab set: soy-marinated crab and shrimp with chili crab, a doenjang crab stew, bulgogi and fried crab, and 16 of the 24 diners we read ordered it. On top of that, small rock crab in soy and chili is free to refill from a self-serve bar. We read 30 posts dated 24 July to 21 October 2026, 24 of them first-hand meals.

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

  1. Time it badly and you wait a long while. Of 18 posts that discussed waiting, 11 queued. Remote CatchTable numbers ran 62 parties, 91st, 110th, 118th and 214th; 110th on a weekend lunch meant 90 minutes, and a 214th taken just after 11 a.m. on a weekday got in around 2 p.m. One weekday-lunch 23rd was called in 10 minutes. Several posts warn that from 27th place you must verify your location at the door or lose your spot. The 4 who went at weekday opening, at 2:30 or 5 p.m. on a weekday, or right after the weekend break at 5 p.m., sat straight down.
  2. 21 of the 24 diners wrote that small rock crab, in both soy and chili, can be refilled freely from the self-serve bar. They repeatedly note it is much smaller than the crab on the set; one found it far too salty, while others thought it better seasoned than the main crab. Fish-cake skewers in broth, mustard-leaf kimchi, salad and canned peaches sit on the same bar.
  3. 9 posts found the crab not too salty; 1 found the seasoning heavy throughout, kimchi and chili crab included, and said their companion agreed. One more found only the self-serve rock crab too salty.
  4. Write a receipt review and you get a token for a prize machine; 11 posts mention it, winning rock crab shipped home for second place, a crab hairpin for third, a café voucher for fourth.
2 more
  1. 16 posts note the ground-floor counter selling crab, shrimp and abalone in soy, laver and dried fish to carry out or ship. One was told leftover crab from the table cannot be taken away.
  2. 6 posts called it expensive, 2 felt the spread justified the price, 1 stayed undecided. One estimated it at about twice other Yeosu crab houses.

Parking

13 posts say you can park. None say you cannot.

Posts saying you can park13 of 24 posts

13 of the 14 posts that discussed parking found it easy: there are separate lots beside and behind the building, nearly empty on weekday afternoons or right after the break. The figure of about 100 spaces is copied from the shop's listing, so we did not count it.

Where it is

Map showing where Kkotdol Gejang Ilbeonga 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

Second floor10 of 24 posts
Lift to the floor3 of 24 posts
Toilet inside1 of 24 posts
Separate restrooms1 of 24 posts

The restaurant uses both floors; 10 posts mention the second floor, where they were seated or waited. The ground-floor entrance holds the shop counter and café, the upper floor a waiting area and a flower-shaped photo spot. Three posts note a lift.

No post mentions a basement level; 10 mention the second floor.

No one wrote about a step, ramp, or getting in with a wheelchair or pushchair; that means unknown, not absent. Three posts mention a lift and one notes stairs as well.

Only one post says the toilets are indoors and separated by sex. Many mention disposable toothbrushes and mouthwash in the restroom, but not where it is.

No one mentioned: In a basement · 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 30 posts we gathered, 6 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.

2026-10-213 posts in one day

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

  • 8 posts found no fishy taste; one differed, a repeat visitor who wrote that this time it tasted fishy.
  • No one arrived by bus or on foot; one group took a taxi about 10 minutes from Yeosu Expo station, and the rest drove or did not say.
  • Opening hours appear in 18 first-hand posts and agree: daily 10:00 to 21:00, break 15:00 to 17:00, last order 20:00, though most are copied into the post header. No first-hand post names a regular closing day; one notes one-off closures such as 22 to 23 September posted on Naver.
  • Two posts say the house takes no reservations; you join the queue remotely on CatchTable. Eight posts list the phone number as 0507-1395-0006, two as 061-644-0003.
  • Prices were identical across July to October 2026 (35,000 won for the crab set, 45,000 for the large one). One post relays a local relative saying prices have risen a lot, but that is hearsay and gives no earlier figure.
  • Six posts were not counted: two restaurant lists built from public data, two hotel and travel promotions disclosing Coupang affiliate commission, one list copied from a YouTuber's picks, and one couple who saw 54 parties ahead and ate elsewhere.
