Review

Although there are many famous fresh crab restaurants in Seoul, today we will take a trip to Samdae Ganjang Gejang located in Incheon.

The crabs are fresh from Yeonpyeong Island, known for its fresh and delicious blue crabs on the west coast. The restaurant has been in business for 60 years and has local customers as well as tourists that visit to try their famous crabs.

Come with us to find out if it's worth a trip to Incheon to try their unique soy sauce marinated crabs.

The 60-year-old restaurant is located in a quiet alley. It certainly stands out with its eye-catching logo surrounded by older buildings.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, you will see a clean and bright dining area. There are pictures of the owners hanging on the wall which symbolizes how the restaurant and its special recipe have been passed down for generations. 

There are also various still shots of appearances on various TV show programs. It is safe to say that this restaurant is a famous restaurant in the Incheon area.

The dining area is spacious and bright so you can enjoy your meal in peace.

The menu only consists of soy sauce marinated crab or spicy crab. There are pictures on display so you can easily order even if you don't speak Korean.

The delivery menu is more diverse. In addition to the soy sauce marinated crab and the spicy crab, there are also crab meat and marinated shrimp.

The restaurant provides home delivery services so you can visit their website if you are interested.

The restaurant marinates the crab in long-brewed soy sauce to remove its fishy smell. Since it also contains a low salt content, you can enjoy a healthy and delicious meal.

The soy sauce marinated crab is the signature menu at the restaurant. It tastes fresh and you can taste plump crab roe with every bite which is quite satisfying.

The taste of the soy sauce is also very fresh with tender crab meat inside the shell. 

It tastes sweet and salty which is different from ordinary ganjang gejang. The sauce is very addicting and tastes even better with a bowl of steaming rice.

Spicy Crab (양념게장정식)
₩25,000

The crab is covered with chili sauce. It looks spicy but it is actually both sweet and spicy.

If you don't really like the smell of the soy sauce marinated crab, we recommend you try the spicy crab.

After we were done with our meal, they also served rice soup to help clear our mouths and help digestion which was very considerate.

That concludes our visit to Samdae Ganjang Gejang in Incheon.

The crabs were so fresh and delicious, it was definitely worth the trip!
