Cleanliness and a hearty spread Maybe because it's only just opened, but the moment I stepped in, the sheer freshness and cleanliness of the place stood out! The tables are spaced generously and the dining room is huge. Yet the second lunch hour started, this massive space filled to capacity with customers almost instantly — a real spectacle! Looking at the age range filling the room, I could totally see why older diners pick this as their number-one spot for eating out. Tidiness, cleanliness, and an easy-on-the-stomach menu — it completely won over their tastes! ![The spacious dining room filled with lunchtime customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan-03-1a8o2-900.webp) ## Deodo Gejang's menu and set options ### Assorted marinade nutrient pot rice set (₩28,000 per person) Orders of 2 or more, this is Deodo Gejang's signature dish, letting you try a variety of seafood marinades all at once.

Every single banchan was clearly made with care 😆👍🏻 ## Jeju yellow crab soy marinated crab — any salty or fishy taste? Finally, the star — soy marinated crab! Deodo Gejang uses Jeju yellow crab, known for its high meat yield, and the set for 2 comes generously loaded with about four crabs total. ![The Jeju yellow crab soy marinated crab served as part of the set for 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan-16-21683-900.webp) A lot of people worry marinated crab might taste bitter or fishy, right? ![Close-up of the Jeju yellow crab soy marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan-17-uj0be-1200.webp) Deodo Gejang insists on only the freshest crab, so there's absolutely no fishy or bitter taste at all. The crab meat itself gets sweeter the more you chew! ![The crab body showing meat and innards](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan-18-10dme-900.webp) Pressing down on the crab body with a gloved hand, out oozes plump, translucent crab meat and rich innards — like a scene straight out of a home shopping channel! The meat spills out plump and appetizing, and my mouth was watering just looking at it. My all-time favorite rice thief has arrived~!!! Delicious marinated crab really is love 😍 ![Picking up a piece of crab meat, the ultimate rice thief](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan-19-186da-900.webp) ## The chewy, glossy nutrient pot rice and 3 kinds of grilled fish While I was still marveling over the marinated crab, the freshly cooked pot rice and golden-grilled fish rounded out the meal perfectly. It's packed with healthy ingredients like sweet pumpkin, shiitake mushrooms, and ginkgo nuts, plus black rice mixed in harmoniously — the moment you lift the lid, it's a feast for the eyes. After scooping out the glossy, wonderfully chewy rice into a bowl, hot water gets poured into the pot and the lid goes back on. Top the scooped rice with crab meat and mix it all together, then finish the meal with a cup of deeply savory sungnyung (scorched rice tea) — it warms and settles your stomach completely. ### Crisp outside, moist inside — 3 hearty grilled fish The grilled fish comes as three large pieces: flounder, rockfish, and yellow corvina. They're grilled so crisply that the flesh flakes off easily with just a touch of your chopsticks. Because the fish are so large, you can pile on thick, moist flakes of fish to your heart's content. ![The three large kinds of grilled fish served](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan-20-b01ig-900.webp) The flounder especially is the definition of mild and clean-tasting — a crowd-pleaser with no one disliking it — and since the fish itself is so large, even taking big flakes off leaves an endless supply of meat! ![Flesh flaking easily off the grilled flounder](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan-21-1omy1-900.webp) Dipped lightly in the accompanying wasabi soy sauce, the umami explodes, and eaten plain it's mild and nutty — totally satisfying either way. ![Fish flakes dipped in wasabi soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan-22-h5ii9-900.webp) ![The marinated crab, grilled fish and pot rice laid out together](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan-23-n8e4h-900.webp) ## In summary — a family meal option in Marine City? I went in thinking "probably just a place that serves a little crab" and came out feeling like I'd been treated to a proper, well-composed Korean course meal. A clean, spacious dining room, sweet marinated crab with zero fishy taste, gloriously chewy nutrient pot rice, and thick, crispy grilled fish — everything here was on point. ![The full table after finishing the meal at Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan/haeundae-marine-city-crab-lunch-banchan-24-1p4or-900.webp) If you're in Marine City looking for a clean, can't-go-wrong restaurant to take your parents or kids to, don't hesitate — stop by Deodo Gejang! You'll fall completely for the rich yellow crab marinade and the generous full spread.
