Compiled from 16 blog posts read in fullSources →
A soy-cured crab chain on the ground floor of the Mecenatpolis mall at Hapjeong Station exit 10, carrying the name of kickboxer Myung Hyun-man. Most diners order the 32,800-won female-crab set (soy crab with roe, spicy crab, soy shrimp, pork, corn cheese, steamed egg, roe rice); three posts went for the 35,800-won unlimited male crab. Either way comes with a self-serve bar of tteokbokki, sundae, a ramyeon machine and make-your-own fried eggs. We read 16 posts dated 1-9 October 2026 (one describing an April visit, one an August visit); all 16 describe actual visits. They came out in a nine-day burst with recurring stock phrases, so we read them as a likely sponsored batch.

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
- Nine posts say the soy crab is not overly salty ("not salty", "just the right saltiness"); none call it salty.
- Seven posts say the crab has no fishy taste; one credits minced garlic in the soy marinade.
- The self-serve bar is the other half of the meal: eight posts took sides from it. Basic banchan like kimchi and salad come only from the bar, one post notes, and several mention a ramyeon machine, a fried-egg pan and a kimchi-pancake station. One warns trays can run empty late.
- Three posts give an 80-minute limit on the unlimited menu; total seating time is 120 minutes in one post and 100 minutes in another. One diner ordered two more crabs and got four, apparently counted per person, and wished this were explained.
5 more
- Seven posts found the set alone filling; one expected little crab but got one soy and one spicy crab each plus four shrimp and ordered more rice.
- Ten posts call the room spacious. Several mention a mix of partitioned and open tables; one says partitioned tables usually go to reservations, so walk-ins get open seating. Four posts call it clean.
- Eleven posts mention a wall of celebrity autographs; one observes they seem to be scanned copies displayed at every branch, not all from visits here.
- Four posts got the 11,900-won crab stew free: two via a Naver booking coupon, two via a receipt-review promotion.
- Three posts walked straight in (weekday 6:30 pm, Sunday 5:30 pm, a weekend mid-afternoon); one found it quiet at 6:30 but busy after 7. Two mention stool seating for waiting inside; there is a CatchTable waitlist kiosk at the door. Three posts booked ahead.

Three posts parked in the Mecenatpolis (Homeplus) basement garage; one says staff validate parking after the meal. Another warns that walking up through the mall from the garage is confusing and suggests going out to exit 10 and in by the 7-Eleven. One post copied a "no parking" line; we did not count it.

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
8 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside

Four posts note from their visit that the restaurant is on the ground floor; one used the elevator up from the basement car park.
No post says whether the entrance has a step or works for a wheelchair or stroller. That is unknown, not a no.
One post says toilets are the mall's shared ones, outside the restaurant, and separated by gender; no other post mentions them.
No one mentioned: Second 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.

What we do not know
- Of posts that say who they went with: four with friends, two with a partner, one with family. The "30-plus groups" line is copied from the shop's own pitch and not counted.
- Fourteen posts list opening hours, mostly copied: thirteen say daily 11:00-21:40 (last order 21:00), one says 11:00-22:00. There is a weekday 11:00-14:00 lunch special. Phone 0507-1302-3837; several posts say you can book via Naver or CatchTable.
- Prices agree across posts: 32,800 won for the female-crab set, 35,800 won unlimited, weekday lunch from 12,800 won. Two people on the set pay 65,600 won plus drinks or rice. Three posts call it good value (one of them sponsored); one says it is not a casual lunch price but fair for what comes.
- All 16 posts appeared within nine days, and four follow the same script (80 pyeong, groups of 30+, 100% Yeonpyeong crab, one minute from exit 10). Two disclose sponsorship, three say they paid, eleven say nothing. We treat claims like Yeonpyeong-sourced crab and free parking as the shop's own marketing, not evidence.
