Compiled from 17 blog posts read in fullSources →
A stone-crab set-meal house in Yeosu's Bongsan-dong crab alley (12 Bongsannam 3-gil). Everything is a per-person set: 16,000 won for stone crab, 20,000 with braised hairtail, 25,000 with blue-crab stew, 35,000 for the blue-crab platter. Soy and chili stone crab arrive with a crab doenjang soup and a crowd of sides such as spicy pork, japchae, mustard-leaf kimchi and soy shrimp, and the stone crab is refilled. We read 30 posts dated 19 May to 21 October 2026; 17 record a meal here, 12 are multi-restaurant lists we did not count, and one was about the restaurant next door.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.
What sets it apart
- Twelve posts had their stone crab refilled, but the limit varies. Five posts from September 2026 on, eating the hairtail or basic set, say three refills. A June visit and an August post say unlimited, and September-October diners on the blue-crab sets also say unlimited. One August writer explained that the basic set gets three bowls, the others unlimited, and that the rule changes from time to time. In practice most stopped after one or two refills.
- Six posts walked straight in: before 10 a.m. on a weekday, around 11:30 twice (once on a weekend), 3 p.m. on a Saturday, 7:50 p.m., and a June visit. One post queued 20 minutes at 11:30 on a Saturday and found the line much longer on the way out. Two posts say you simply stand in line with no number or list; one says there is a waiting list to sign.
- Seven posts found the crab not salty. Only one, a local who says she has been countless times, disagrees: among crab houses this one is strongly seasoned and may taste salty to some. Four posts describe the soy marinade as sweetish, one of them comparing it with other houses.
- Eight posts note takeaway and nationwide delivery of crab, shrimp and kimchi from the entrance counter. One shipped two boxes of three female crabs (2.5 kg) to both sets of parents for 3,000 won shipping each; another took leftover stew home packed in ice.

Eight posts parked or saw the lots: a small one right in front and one more down each side alley, with another dedicated lot nearby when the front fills. Two posts mention an attendant directing cars on weekends. A writer returning after five years noticed a roomy new lot nearby.

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
| Second floor | 2 of 17 posts |
|---|---|
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 1 (of 17 posts read) |
| Toilet inside | 1 of 17 posts |
Eight posts call the room large. One was seated upstairs and says both floors are dining space; another counts about 27 tables on the ground floor alone. One post notes the restaurant occupies the building's ground floor. Two mention a burner on every table for the crab stew.
No post says whether there is a step at the entrance, whether a wheelchair or stroller gets in, or how you reach the second floor. That is unknown, not absent. One post mentions high chairs.
Only one post says the toilet is inside the restaurant; no one mentions separate men's and women's rooms or their size.
No one mentioned: Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. 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 29 posts we gathered, 12 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
- Opinions split. One family found it merely ordinary and would try another house (July 2026 visit); a returning visitor felt the blue-crab set was no longer worth its price (August). Most other posts were satisfied. One noticed stray red sauce on the steamed egg, and several complain the stone-crab shells are very hard.
- No one describes arriving by bus or train. One post puts it about ten minutes by car from the bus terminal and Yeosu-Expo station; two say they drove.
- Ten posts copied opening hours, all opening at 8 a.m. Closing times vary: 20:40 with last order at 20:00 in four, 20:50 with last order at 20:10 in three, 21:00 in two, and one lists a 20:00 close with a 16:00-17:00 break. First-hand: a 7:50 p.m. arrival in October 2026 was asked to finish by 8:40, and a Saturday 3 p.m. visit found no break. One post says open every day; another found it open on a Wednesday when neighbours were closed.
- Posts from July to October 2026 agree on prices (16,000 / 20,000 / 25,000 / 35,000 won per person, usually two-person minimum). Two differ: a May post lists the stone-crab set at 25,000, and an August post a single-diner set at 18,000. A 14,000-won figure in a list post is copied, so we set it aside. One writer found the meal overpriced; three called it good value.
- More than ten posts give the same phone number, 061-643-1880. One recommends booking through Naver; another heard that on weekends a booking only puts you first in the queue, not straight to a table.
- Twelve of the 30 posts are single entries in Yeosu restaurant lists, travel itineraries, a golf package or a lodging guide; three state outright that the writer never went. TV appearances, Blue Ribbon awards and celebrity-regular claims are the restaurant's own signage or hearsay and were not counted; three posts did see autographs on the wall.
