I tried soy-marinated crab, spicy marinated crab, shrimp jang, pot-cooked rice, and a huge stew with four domestic blue crabs. Verdict: a satisfying choice for a group meal with easy parking. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 10:50 AM–9:00 PM; closes when ingredients sell out, so check before visiting late - **Menu**: Marinated crab set meal, crab stew, egg-bearing crab set meal - **Parking**: Dedicated parking lot available - **Ordering**: Table ordering system - **Crab stew**: Four domestic blue crabs *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Signature crab dish at Huni Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-01-1i4xn-1200.webp) Did you know that not every crab specialty restaurant is the same? Surprisingly, quite a few use imported crabs or lower-quality ones. These days, when restaurants you can eat at with confidence seem to be getting rarer, I heard there was a great crab place in Cheonan that insists on using only 100% domestic blue crabs, so off I went. I’ll share all the details, including the location, parking, and menu. ## Huni Gejang Cheonan Main Branch: location and parking ![Exterior and parking information for Huni Gejang Cheonan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-02-4ch7k-966.webp) Huni Gejang Cheonan Main Branch (훈이꽃게장 천안본점) sits at the entrance to the food street in Yuryang-dong, Cheonan. City buses do not run especially often in Yuryang-dong, so I recommend driving. By car, it takes within 5–10 minutes from Cheonan Terminal, within 10 minutes from Dongnam-gu Office, and within 30 minutes from Cheonan-Asan Station. There’s a dedicated parking lot, so no parking worries! There seems to be enough space even when lots of customers arrive. It feels perfect for anyone looking for a group dining spot in Cheonan! ## A spacious, clean interior The interior is very spacious! The ceilings are high and the atmosphere is clean, but what I especially liked was the wide spacing between tables, so you do not have to worry about the people at the next table. There are also partitioned tables, so it seems like a good spot for gatherings. The wide-open view is a bonus! It is open on all sides, which gives it a nice atmosphere too, haha. ## Marinated crab set meals and crab stew ![Marinated crab set meal and crab stew menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-03-q1waq-966.webp) The menu includes marinated crab set meals and crab stew. You can enjoy marinated crab and crab stew made with 100% Yeonpyeong-do blue crabs. ![Egg-bearing crab set meal and extra marinated crab menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-04-jw4w9-966.webp) You can also order the egg-bearing crab set meal! You can add more marinated crab and shrimp jang (soy-marinated shrimp), so you can really eat to your heart’s content, haha. ![Table-order screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-05-160ea-966.webp) Orders are placed through the table-order system! Just select the dishes you want and place your order. ## Small crab stew and marinated crab set meal spread ![Small crab stew and marinated crab set meal spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-06-1e1l3-966.webp) We ordered the small crab stew and the marinated crab set meal. The spoons and disposable gloves came individually wrapped according to the number of diners, which felt hygienic. And the impressive basic spread really reminded me of a Korean set-menu restaurant, haha. ![Basic spread like a Korean set-menu restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-07-efch8-966.webp) ![Basic spread like a Korean set-menu restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-08-4tdkc-966.webp) Steamed egg comes as a basic side, and it was delicious—the seasoning was just right and it was cooked perfectly, haha. ![Steamed egg and basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-09-1fbtd-966.webp) ![Side dishes in the marinated crab set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-10-bitug-966.webp) ![Side dishes that pair with marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-11-mtzwh-966.webp) ![Neatly arranged basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-12-oemj5-966.webp) ![Basic side dishes for the crab stew set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-13-1ci39-966.webp) ![Neatly arranged side-dish spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-14-epnq1-966.webp) The side dishes were neatly presented and clean-tasting! They went really well with both the marinated crab and crab stew. ![Soy-marinated crab and spicy marinated crab spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-15-db5k5-966.webp) ![Marinated crab selection in the set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-16-1yevw-966.webp) ## From soy-marinated crab to spicy crab and shrimp jang The crab stew takes some time, so the marinated crab arrived first. You know how dangerously irresistible familiar flavors can be, hahaha. My mouth started watering the moment I saw it 😋 When you eat marinated crab, there are times when you want both soy-marinated crab and spicy marinated crab, right? At Huni Gejang, a great spot in Yuryang-dong, Cheonan, I got soy-marinated crab, spicy marinated crab, and even shrimp jang, so I was even more satisfied! Can you see how full of meat the crabs are? They say they use only plump, flavorful crabs through direct transactions with Yeonpyeong-do boat owners, along with carefully selected ingredients such as house-made Joseon soy sauce, domestic chili powder, and garlic, creating deep umami without making it overly salty. What I liked best was that they do not use imported crabs from places such as China, Bahrain, or Myanmar, nor lower-quality crabs. I think freshness and quality are so important with crab, so it was reassuring to hear that they insist on quality crabs only. ![Soy-marinated crab packed with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-17-ltusb-966.webp) As for the taste, what more is there to say? 😍 The soy-marinated crab was not salty or fishy at all—the flavor and umami just exploded, haha. ![Flavorful soy-marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-18-1dxat-966.webp) As it turns out, this is a taste passed down through three generations! The owner carries on the grandmother’s secret recipe, which began at Suyeong Paldo Market in Busan in the late 1980s, as well as the mother’s philosophy of using only good ingredients. They say the owner continues both the care and flavors of the grandmother and mother. ![Spicy marinated crab and shrimp jang](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-19-zfq1g-966.webp) ![Shrimp jang in the marinated crab set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-20-ty1af-966.webp) The spicy marinated crab and shrimp jang both get a thumbs-up! They say the shrimp jang is made using only carefully selected Shinan shrimp. It was not salty and had such great umami—it was a total rice thief, haha. The spicy marinated crab was completely my style! I prefer it to soy-marinated crab, and its addictive flavor stayed on my mind even after I got home! ![Spicy marinated crab and shrimp jang accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-21-dmqdk-966.webp) ![Pot-cooked rice and marinated crab set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-22-19vwu-966.webp) ![Pot-cooked rice finished with scorched rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-23-goct4-966.webp) ## Scorched rice from pot-cooked rice and crab stew with four crabs The marinated crab set meal comes with pot-cooked rice, and eating the crab and shrimp jang before finishing with nurungji (scorched rice) made it perfect 👇 The crab stew portion is enormous. I was surprised by the size of the pot and then by the amount of crab—it really felt worth the money ❤️ The crabs were large and meaty, so I was beyond satisfied 😍 Is it for real that you can feel full just from eating the crab? Sometimes the amount of crab in crab stew is disappointing, but this had four quality domestic blue crabs, so I was completely satisfied, hahaha. ![Crab stew with four domestic blue crabs](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup-24-187pl-966.webp) I finished with coffee! It felt like I had had a proper, hearty meal, so I left very satisfied. ## Also recommended for group meals in Cheonan The marinated crab and crab stew, made with carefully selected ingredients and flavors handed down through three generations, were truly impressive. I recommend it to anyone wanting domestic blue crab or looking for crab stew and soy-marinated crab in Yuryang-dong, Cheonan. With dedicated parking and a spacious interior, I also recommend it as a Cheonan gathering spot 👍 ## Where it is - Huni Gejang Cheonan Main Branch (훈이꽃게장 천안본점) (훈이꽃게장 천안본점) - 1F, 52-6 Taejosan-gil, 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/@daejeon-soup-ladle/cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-soup/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
