Compiled from 6 blog posts read in fullSources →
A snow crab and king crab house on the ground floor of 290 Gonghang-daero near Balsan Station, selling by the kilogram at market price. Ordering crab brings porridge, salad, raw fish, tomato salad and tempura first; the crab arrives cut, and the meal ends with fried rice in the shell and a soup. Posted prices: in Oct 2025 a phone quote of KRW 108,000/kg for snow crab and 118,000 for king crab; 2 kg of snow crab for KRW 256,000 in Feb 2026; about KRW 500,000 for four people and 4 kg in May 2026. We read 30 posts dated 8 May 2025 to 14 October 2026. Twenty-two of them appeared between 4 and 14 October 2026 with the same wording, so we set them aside and counted from six independently written visits.

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
- Four of the six independent posts booked ahead. Three mention private rooms: a May 2025 diner who came without a booking could not get one, and a May 2026 group that booked the day before during a holiday found the rooms full and sat in the hall. Two posts say booking through Naver gives a 5% coupon; one forgot it at the till and the owner applied it anyway.
- Three independent posts say the food is plentiful: a work dinner in October 2025 was full before the crab arrived, a May 2026 group called the opening spread generous and varied, and a family of three took leftovers home from a king crab order of just over 2 kg in spring 2026.
- One family visiting with a baby (spring 2026) was shown to a shoes-off room and given baby tableware; the writer counted roughly eight rooms.

Only one independent post describes parking first-hand (a lot in the building, May 2025). Two others copied 'parking available' or 'free private parking' from an info block. No one says how many cars fit.

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.
From the station
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
No one describes the floor from experience; only the address says ground floor, unit 101.
No independent post says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller got in. 'Wheelchair-friendly circulation' appears only in two promotional posts, which we do not count. That means no one said, not that there is none.
No post says where the toilet is or whether it is split by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · 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 12 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.

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
- Twenty-two posts from 4–14 October 2026 repeat the same lines in the same order — one to two minutes from Exit 5, a private lot behind the building, tables disinfected after every party, child seats and wheelchair-friendly circulation. Three disclose payment and none gives a price. We treat these as the restaurant's own copy and do not count them.
- Crab is sold at market price per kilogram, so prices move with the season. In mid-May 2026 a diner was told king crab was no longer available; an October 2026 diner had it. One post phoned ahead (02-3662-0655) to ask the price before booking.
- Three posts give the same hours — daily 11:30 to 22:00, last order 20:30 — all copied from info blocks. One says there is no afternoon break. No post mentions a closing day.
- No post describes queuing. One May 2026 holiday post found the rooms booked out but the hall fairly empty.
- Only one independent post mentions walking from the station (close to Balsan, Oct 2026); 'one to two minutes from Exit 5' is promotional wording.
