About

A soy-marinated crab restaurant in the lanes between Jungang Station Exit 7 and the 40 Steps. There is no dedicated parking; use a nearby public or paid lot. Call the restaurant about reservations and takeaway.

The Queen soy-marinated crab set is KRW 29,000 and the King soy-marinated abalone set KRW 25,000, each with a minimum order of two portions. Solo diners can choose the Miss Korea female-crab rice or Mister Korea king-abalone rice, each KRW 25,000. The home-style lunch special is KRW 12,000.

The crab has a savory soy seasoning with restrained sweetness. Mix the meat, roe and innards with rice and wrap it in seaweed. Grilled fish, pancakes, soup or stew and vegetable sides make a full southern-style Korean meal; side dishes vary by day and season.

A good meal with parents or older relatives around Jungang and Nampo. Lunch can fill up. Saturday service is lunch only, so eat first and explore Gukje Market and BIFF Square afterward.
