The soy crab (gejang) set meal is the headline dish, but the hidden-menu crab soup at 70,000 won arrives with four blue crabs, and two people ladled out four bowls and cleared the pot. For a self-declared crustacean lover, the Yeonpyeongdo blue crabs were packed with meat, putting this among the best crab soups in Chungcheong. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 52-6 Taejosan-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do - **Hours**: Daily 10:50–21:00 (last order 20:00) - **Parking**: Standalone building with its own very large lot - **Gejang set meal**: 25,000 won (soy-marinated crab 1 + seasoned crab 0.5 + marinated shrimp 1 + pot rice) - **Roe-filled crab set meal**: 40,000 won (roe-filled soy crab 1 + seasoned crab 0.5 + marinated shrimp 1 + pot rice) - **Crab soup (hidden menu)**: 70,000 won - **Takeout and shipping**: Takeout available, nationwide delivery available - **Price reference**: ₩25,000 ≈ $18.5 · ₩40,000 ≈ $29.5 · ₩70,000 ≈ $51.5 (2026-09-16) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ## Why drive to Yuryang-dong, Cheonan for crab soup? It's crab season. Honestly, my household has been eating crab for about four weeks now, ever since crab season started. I'm a self-proclaimed crustacean lover, and this week my mom made crab soup that I couldn't eat because I had to go down to Cheonan for work — so I went to eat crab soup instead. But I've never once bought crab soup and been satisfied with it, so I went looking for a restaurant that all the locals in Yuryang-dong swear by. ![Visit photo of Huni Gejang Cheonan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-01-1u9wp-899.webp) ## Huni Gejang Cheonan Main Branch: location, hours and parking - 📍Location: 52-6 Taejosan-gil, 1st floor, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - ⏰Hours: Daily 10:50 ~ 21:00 / Last order 20:00 - 🚗Parking: Standalone building, very large dedicated lot - 📅Reservations A huge, standalone building. Huni Gejang is on the first floor, with a different restaurant upstairs — not sure if it's the same owner. Anyway, the place is massive. ![Standalone building and large dedicated parking lot on Taejosan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-02-3v7xp-900.webp) The parking lot is also really spacious, so I thought it'd be great for large family groups. It was kept extremely clean too. When the yard parking lot is this bright and tidy at night, what does that mean? It's a good restaurant. (Write that down.) ## How many seats does Huni Gejang have? Huni's is on the first floor and there are a ton of seats. You can drop by solo or in a small group, but the place is genuinely big enough to host a whole family's first-birthday party or 60th/70th birthday celebration. The ceilings are high and the space itself is wide. The seats are spaced way apart too, so it'd be great to bring kids. ![First-floor dining hall at Huni Gejang with widely spaced seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-03-gbgpd-900.webp) ![Large restaurant interior with high ceilings](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-04-1tljr-900.webp) Spacious epoxy flooring, and the spaces were cleverly divided too. ![Divided seating area with epoxy flooring](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-05-1sdpi-900.webp) I've never seen a soy crab restaurant like this. ## Huni Gejang menu and prices ![Menu board for Huni Gejang set meal and roe set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-06-1htos-900.webp) Gejang set meal ₩25,000 (soy crab x1 + seasoned crab x0.5 + shrimp jang x1 + hotpot rice), roe-filled set meal ₩40,000 (roe-filled soy crab x1 + seasoned crab x0.5 + shrimp jang x1 + hotpot rice). The main menu here is soy-marinated crab, but I wanted crab soup. So I ordered the hidden-menu crab soup (₩70,000). ## What the 70,000 won hidden-menu crab soup tastes like ![Neatly set table and tableware](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-07-lswib-900.webp) ![Table setup for the crab soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-08-65nui-900.webp) Ah, it was so clean I felt good right away. This is genuinely a huge restaurant, but the owner is clearly so meticulous — the tableware and the whole table setup was spotless. ![Side dishes served in individual porcelain bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-09-txv3g-900.webp) For a great restaurant, the side dishes really matter a lot, and just from the lineup here I could tell they knew what they were doing. Each dish served in its own bowl — the mark of a place that knows food. Since this is a restaurant with a tradition passed down through three generations, all the side dishes felt handmade too. A n d then, finally, the star of the show — crab soup — appeared. ![Hidden-menu crab soup packed with crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-10-4h823-900.webp) ### How many blue crabs are in the crab soup? Honestly, I ordered thinking that if there were even three crabs in it, that'd already be a lot. But no, genuinely, wow... It's meant for two, and at ₩70,000 for crab soup that's like 2-3 servings, so how many crabs could possibly be in there? The portion was so huge I actually counted them myself. I counted one by one, and there were a full four crabs in it. As a crustacean lover, I can't just pass with a high score because there are a lot of crabs — you have to check the meat yield too, right? Since they said it was Yeonpyeongdo blue crab, I did have some expectations going in. > Wow,,,, it's packed,,, the meat is packed full. Sir, is it really okay to sell it this way? This is honestly the best, wow,,,, ![Meat-packed Yeonpyeongdo blue crab flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-11-7fstz-900.webp) ![Crab leg meat picked out](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-12-rqav9-900.webp) ![Crab body meat with high yield](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-13-9pq9d-900.webp) As a crustacean lover, and the daughter of a mom who's a master cook, I've never been satisfied buying crab soup before — but even so, I've always thought Chungcheong-do has the best crab soup nationwide. And within Chungcheong-do, Huni's is genuinely one of the best, I swear. The radish tastes like potato. Though honestly it probably would've been even better with actual potato in it. ![Crab soup broth with radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-14-a9ovp-900.webp) Ah, I have to admit it, this is good. We ate late for lunch so the two of us didn't eat that much. ![Crab soup scooped into an individual bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-15-1m67h-900.webp) We only ate four bowls. ![Multiple bowls of crab soup eaten](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-16-d1oiu-900.webp) Sold-out ending. ![Empty crab soup pot after finishing it all](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-17-u64qq-1200.webp) Even the candy here is legit — I forget the brand, but it's that really tasty candy that's recommended for pregnant women, and they had it right there for us ㅠㅠ Owner has serious taste. Please prosper forever. ![Candy placed at the checkout counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-18-3pnm0-900.webp) ![Sign explaining direct sourcing of Yeonpyeongdo crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew-19-1sw96-900.webp) ## Does Huni Gejang do takeout and nationwide delivery? They said they source crab through direct deals with Yeonpyeongdo boat owners, carefully selected, using a recipe passed down for three generations. How could it not be good? Takeout is obviously available, and nationwide delivery too, so go ahead and order the soy crab by delivery. I haven't tried it myself, but it's guaranteed to be good. ## Where it is - Huni Gejang Cheonan Main Branch (훈이꽃게장 천안본점) - 52-6 Taejosan-gil, 1st floor, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - 충청남도 천안시 동남구 태조산길 52-6 1층 - 36.8107554, 127.1700309 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%9B%88%EC%9D%B4%EA%BD%83%EA%B2%8C%EC%9E%A5%20%EC%B2%9C%EC%95%88%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@36.8107554,127.1700309,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cafe-dinner-pause/cheonan-hidden-menu-crab-stew/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
