Unable to eat sashimi while pregnant on a babymoon trip, the writer ordered the two Russian bakdal snow crabs menu without sashimi, working through banchan, seafood, crab roe fried rice and spicy stew. The crab meat filled even the small legs, making this a solid Jukdo Market crab restaurant recommendation, especially when reserved in advance for seating and perks. ## Good to know - **Location**: 35 Jukdosijang-gil, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea, about midway along the crab sashimi street in Jukdo Market - **Hours**: 09:00–22:30 - **Menu ordered**: Two bakdal snow crabs (Russian Magadan bakdal snow crab + banchan + seafood + spicy stew) - **Table setting fee**: ₩5,000 per person, charged separately - **Other menus**: Bakdal course for two (one regular-size bakdal snow crab, upgradable to large for an extra ₩20,000); a course with bakdal snow crab, live sashimi, seafood, banchan, spicy stew, and mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) - **Reservations**: Available via Naver Reservation; reserved visitors get a ₩10,000 discount coupon and a seafood ramyeon coupon *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Bakdal snow crab table spread at Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang, Jukdo Market, Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-01-1xa9v-1200.webp) I went on a babymoon trip combining Pohang and Gyeongju. My husband and I had visited Pohang once before, back before we got married, and honestly I was disappointed with the snow crab that time. But since I'm pregnant, sashimi is off the table, and I wanted something nutritious, so I decided to give snow crab another shot!! This time I genuinely left satisfied — let me introduce Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang, a Pohang restaurant inside Jukdo Market. ## Finding it on the crab sashimi street in Jukdo Market ![Entrance to Jukdo Market in Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-02-gb7dc-966.webp) ![Sign for the crab sashimi street in Jukdo Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-03-jt5yt-966.webp) This is the entrance to Jukdo Market. Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang sits along the stretch marked as the crab sashimi street. ![Alleyway midway along the crab sashimi street](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-04-cnsit-966.webp) It's about midway along the street once you enter from the entrance. The street is shorter than expected, so it's easy to find. ![Sign for Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang Maenggu-ne with seafood tanks](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-05-sluw7-966.webp) The sign reads "Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang, Maenggu-ne." The tanks were full of fresh seafood and snow crabs. ## Weekend evening reservations are a must — and come with perks You can reserve through Naver Reservation. Reserving in advance gets you a ₩10,000 discount coupon and a seafood ramyeon coupon, so reservations are essential. I booked a Saturday evening slot, and even though the place had plenty of tables, it was nearly full of guests. If you're planning a family visit on a weekend or holiday, I'd recommend booking ahead. > 09:00–22:30 ![Spacious restaurant interior with many tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-06-zr5mf-966.webp) The interior was spacious with lots of tables. The crowd was a mix of families, couples, and friends, and it looked like it could easily handle large groups too. A table setting fee of ₩5,000 per person was charged separately. ![Crab menu board showing course options](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-07-17x81-m-966.webp) ## Pregnant, so I ordered the two bakdal snow crabs without sashimi Once there, I saw the crab menu had several configurations. Our order, the two bakdal snow crabs, was a single menu item that came with Russian bakdal snow crab plus banchan (side dishes), seafood, and spicy stew. It was top-grade Magadan crab, packed with meat! There was also a set for two called the Bakdal Course, which came with one regular-size bakdal snow crab, upgradable to large for an extra ₩20,000. On top of that, there was a course combining bakdal snow crab, live sashimi, seafood, banchan, spicy stew, and mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) — perfect for anyone who wants crab, sashimi, and mulhoe all in one sitting. Since I'm pregnant and can't eat sashimi, I ordered the bakdal snow crab menu, which doesn't include it. I got to focus entirely on the crab, no regrets, and eat plenty. ## Banchan that just kept coming, starting with abalone porridge We started light with abalone porridge. It was warm and savory, and really woke up the appetite. ![Abalone porridge served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-08-b5fzz-966.webp) Even though this wasn't a course meal, the banchan kept coming without end. ![Endless spread of banchan side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-09-nsyr0-966.webp) There was corn cheese along with bread, which seemed like the kind of thing kids would love. ![Corn cheese and bread side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-10-1a901-966.webp) We also got seasoned raw fish, soy-marinated crab, sweet potato fritters, and carrot salad — they said even the salad dressing is made in-house. ![Seasoned raw fish and soy-marinated crab banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-11-ep0t4-966.webp) ![Sweet potato fritters and carrot salad plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-12-zc4m8-966.webp) ![Salad with house-made dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-13-dz7vv-966.webp) ![Additional side dish plate served with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-14-1uskk-966.webp) ![Assorted fresh seafood platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-15-233dg-966.webp) ![Conch and king oyster mushroom seafood dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-16-k0h32-966.webp) ![Standard seafood side dish served with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-17-q8y6p-966.webp) ![Generously laid out seafood table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-18-1ncvy-966.webp) Plenty of fresh seafood came out too, and my husband said he hadn't eaten this well in ages, digging in while saying it wasn't fishy at all and tasted great. Since I'm pregnant, I skipped the sea squirt and raw abalone slices, but I did eat the king oyster mushrooms and conch. It had been a while since I'd had seafood too, so I was really happy. A refreshing clam soup with bean sprouts and firefly squid came as standard banchan too! Firefly squid is a bit softer and more savory than regular squid. ## Bakdal snow crab yield — even the small legs were packed Finally, the two bakdal snow crabs arrived. This might have been the best-filled crab I've ever eaten. ![Two steamed bakdal snow crabs served whole](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-19-qb8nz-966.webp) ![Cleaned and plated bakdal snow crab legs](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-20-tja60-966.webp) Even each of the small legs was packed with meat, which made picking through them genuinely fun. ![Cross-section of a bakdal snow crab leg packed with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-21-19cc3-966.webp) Can you see how packed the legs are?!! Honestly, once I got pregnant I craved snow crab so badly that I went to a place near home, but it was so bad I didn't even post about it on my blog. At Gallilli Daegae, I kept saying "this is insane" over and over the whole time I ate, the meat was that full. Here's a claw next to an adult man's finger for scale. Claws, body, everywhere — packed full of meat! ![Crab shell filled with roe and innards](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-22-1mktf-966.webp) The crab was so fresh that even the innards weren't fishy at all. Of the two shells, we ate one as is and ordered fried rice with the other. ![Fried rice made in the crab shell](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-23-15fr9-966.webp) ## Finishing with spicy stew and crab roe fried rice To finish, spicy stew came out — included with the meal! ![Spicy fish stew served at the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon-24-7zw6b-966.webp) The stew portion was generous, with plenty of meaty fish in it. It wasn't really spicy — more of a clean, tangy heat. Honestly I was already stuffed, but you can't just leave fried rice unfinished, right?! Topping the fried rice with the leftover crab meat and kimchi, alongside the banchan, one bite hit with a killer combo of savoriness and kimchi's tang! ## How was it as a closing meal for the babymoon? Being pregnant, I wanted to eat more nutritious food than usual, and filling up on crab left me feeling reassured, mentally as much as physically. My husband was satisfied too, and said next time we're in Pohang we should try the course with live sashimi included. If you're looking for a good restaurant in Jukdo Market, Pohang, I'd recommend Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang. The variety of menu options, letting you pick based on taste or situation, was a big plus, and sitting comfortably after reserving ahead, eating our fill of well-filled bakdal snow crab, made this a visit that has me wanting to go back to Pohang!! ## Where it is - Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang (갈릴리대게회식당) - 35 Jukdosijang-gil, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 경상북도 포항시 북구 죽도시장길 35 갈릴리 대게 회식당 - 36.035465, 129.3692413 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B0%88%EB%A6%B4%EB%A6%AC%EB%8C%80%EA%B2%8C%ED%9A%8C%EC%8B%9D%EB%8B%B9/@36.035465,129.3692413,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-tablecloth-2/pohang-jukdo-market-snow-crab-babymoon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
