Gijang Myeongpum Daegae (기장명품대게) is located at 5 Chaseongdong-ro 73beon-gil, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, right next to Gijang Market. If you type Gijang Myeongpum Daegae into navigation, you arrive right in front of the store (photo), and a staff member outside pointed us to the parking lot again, so we had no trouble parking. ![Arriving in front of Gijang Myeongpum Daegae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-01-e1q18-966.webp) ![Staff directing us to the parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-02-d5of4-966.webp) ![View of the parking area at Gijang Myeongpum Daegae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-03-8ey5y-966.webp) We visited early in the morning so there was still some parking space, but when we left around 1pm after our meal, the lot was already full. If there's no space, you can park at the Gijang Market public lot and get your parking fee covered :-) ![Entrance to Gijang Myeongpum Daegae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-04-1rl6r-966.webp) ![Crab tank inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-05-11vqs-966.webp) ![Snow crab and king crab in the tank](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-06-ukhtf-966.webp) ## Weighed with the 652g basket subtracted: 2 snow crabs, 1.97kg, ₩158,000 The moment we walked in, these huge snow crabs caught our eye. Not just snow crab either — they have king crab too! Our little princess was totally distracted haha. We asked for enough for two adults and a 5-year-old, and they told us two crabs would be plenty. Honestly, the biggest worry when you go out for crab... is getting ripped off, right? Basket weight sneaked into the total, or the so-called "water trick"! We're the kind of people who can't make a scene in public (haha), so market-price dishes like this always made us hesitant. But at Gijang Myeongpum Daegae, the scale was already set with -652g for the basket weight subtracted from the start. And since the basket is full of drainage holes, water weight is naturally excluded too! Thanks to that, we could eat with real peace of mind haha. We visited as 2 adults and a 5-year-old, and were told two crabs would be enough — it came to 2 crabs, 1.97kg, for ₩158,000 :-) You can check current pricing by searching Gijang Myeongpum Daegae on Naver and looking at their posts. ## Inside Gijang Myeongpum Daegae: rooms and seating on the 2nd floor Dining at Gijang Myeongpum Daegae happens on the 2nd floor. There's a dining area on the 1st floor too, but it seemed to be used only when the place is full! The interior was very clean and calm, and the place is huge — great for group visits too. There's a separate large room, as well as a doorless room-style space. ## What's on the salad bar at Gijang Myeongpum Daegae? And the best part — Gijang Myeongpum Daegae's own salad bar! Even before eating, it was satisfying just to see how spotlessly it was kept haha. ![Salad bar corner at Gijang Myeongpum Daegae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-07-13nne-966.webp) ![Boneless fried chicken and fritters on the salad bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-08-17vum-966.webp) ![Boiled corn on the salad bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-09-11lgt-966.webp) ![Palbochae section of the salad bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-10-1l76s-966.webp) Boneless fried chicken, sweet pumpkin/pepper/sweet potato fritters, boiled corn, and even palbochae (stir-fried seafood and vegetables). None of it was just for show — it was genuinely tasty, and the fritters were crisp, not soggy at all. ![Kimchi and pickled side dishes on the salad bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-11-zg37a-966.webp) ![Fusilli pasta, glass noodle salad, and crab meat salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-12-sbffb-966.webp) Various pickled side dishes including kimchi, plus fusilli pasta, glass noodle salad, and crab meat salad. ![A plate of salad bar dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-13-14wj5-966.webp) A plate put together according to our 5-year-old princess's taste :-) ![A plate of salad bar food put together for the child](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-14-pevse-966.webp) The crab meat salad, fusilli, and glass noodle salad... they taste exactly like the salad bar at Mippy (formerly Mippy-sooni)!!! It's been so long since I've had that nostalgic taste, I went back for seconds and thirds haha. ## Snow crab and the free abalone, kept hot in the steamer And then the snow crab arrived. Two abalones were also served on the house. It comes out on a steamer with the burner still on, so you can eat it piping hot the whole way through. ![Snow crab and complimentary abalone served on a steamer](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-15-o6zyp-1200.webp) Packed full of meat, plus plenty of intestine! It looked absolutely delicious. The size was pretty impressive too haha — could we really finish it all...? ![Crab shell full of intestine](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-16-2148b-966.webp) The crab shell full of intestine came out too, and it was so nutty and delicious haha. But we held back and saved room for the fried rice :-) Eat it all and you won't have room for fried rice, you know! ![Large complimentary abalone](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-17-qnzz1-966.webp) ![Snow crab leg meat packed full](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-18-1ulvr-966.webp) Even though it was complimentary, the abalone was a great size! Both went to me since I'm the abalone lover here ♥ Look how packed the meat is! I'd heard winter is the season for snow crab, and when I had it elsewhere in spring, it was really... hollow, nothing to eat.^^ But the crab at Gijang Myeongpum Daegae was completely packed, no gaps at all. ![Snow crab body meat packed full](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-19-1aga4-966.webp) ![Snow crab body meat with intestine](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-20-4ptoe-966.webp) The body meat was so full too — the soft, mild leg meat is great, but I love the moist, nutty body meat too! Eating it together with the intestine gives you incredible depth of flavor... ♥ ![Leftover crab shells and table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-21-1rges-966.webp) ## Two crab intestine fried rice orders and doenjang stew the 5-year-old loved Ordering the fried rice at Gijang Myeongpum Daegae comes with a doenjang stew included. The fried rice and doenjang stew arrive together. ![Crab intestine fried rice and doenjang stew set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-22-1qdfj-966.webp) This right here... is genuinely delicious. Even people who can't handle crab intestine should be fine with this. Our 5-year-old said it was tasty and ate it right up. ![Fluffy stir-fried crab intestine fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-23-18lvn-966.webp) Fluffy texture plus the nuttiness of the intestine. We were already full from the crab alone and debated ordering just one, but we're glad we got two — we scraped the bowls completely clean. The clean-tasting doenjang stew alongside it was really delicious too :-) ![A spoonful of fried rice topped with crab meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice/gijang-daege-family-lunch-fried-rice-24-19xfh-966.webp) Eating it with a little crab meat we'd saved was genuinely amazing. Don't finish all the crab before the rice arrives — save just a little to eat together!!!!!! Such a generous and delicious meal at Gijang Myeongpum Daegae. The staff were also incredibly kind, so we had a pleasant meal and got to explore Gijang Market afterward haha.
