Roomy-table gejang restaurant in Haeundae Marine City: Deodo Gejang

Deodo Gejang in Haeundae Marine City — a mild, tidy spread that's perfect for bringing your parents along.

Where Deodo Gejang is and when it opens

Deodo Gejang is at 37 Marine City 3-ro, 103-106, Haeundae-gu, Busan (U-dong, Hanil Ordu), open daily 11:00–21:00. You can park in the Ordu commercial building's parking lot.

• They use only fresh Jeju yellow crab caught in Jeju's clean waters instead of frozen crab, cured with natural fruit and no added seasoning — a healthy gejang (marinated crab) spot, apparently
• Kid-friendly menu makeup, great for family meals or group gatherings
• Takeout available

Today I want to introduce a new soy crab spot in Haeundae Marine City! The original branch is a famous restaurant near Tongdosa in Yangsan, and now Deodo Gejang has opened a new location in Marine City, Haeundae~! The store is clean, the food is presented neatly, and beyond the gejang the rest of the menu is great too, so it's really good for family meals or group get-togethers. So here's my review of Deodo Gejang, the crab spot in Marine City!

Deodo Gejang is on the ground floor of Hanil Ordu in Marine City, so you can park in the Hanil Ordu commercial building's lot and visit without worrying about parking!

Inside Deodo Gejang: tables set far apart

Walking in, I was surprised by the size of the place. It's really spacious, so there's no sense of being cramped. What I liked most was the table spacing — each table had plenty of room, so I could eat comfortably without worrying about the next table over haha. I saw a lot of families there, and everyone looked relaxed while eating! The natural light was good too, so visiting during the day made the whole space feel much brighter and more pleasant.

Three grilled fish + yellow crab pot rice set for two, 48,000 won

Here's the grilled fish 3-kinds + yellow crab gejang pot rice set for two that we ordered! The table filled up completely — it came out so generously the table practically bowed under the weight~~ 😊 The side dishes were solid too! Everything came out evenly, so nothing felt like filler.

The moment the lid came off the nutritious pot rice, the healthy look hit me right away. After scooping out the rice, they poured water over the leftover crust to make sungnyung (scorched rice tea).

How the gejang tastes: pre-cut and not too salty

The gejang (marinated crab) came already cleaned so it was easy to eat 😊. With plastic gloves on, I squeezed the meat out from inside the shell, mixed it into the rice, and took a bite — no fishiness at all, just soft and honestly delicious!

Mixing the picked-out soy gejang meat into rice and wrapping it in seaweed was really savory and delicious! In particular, the soy gejang wasn't salty at all, so it had that keep-going taste without feeling heavy.

The grilled fish and the side dishes

Can't skip the grilled fish that came with it 😊. The fish was thick, so the meat came off easily too. Piling the flaked fish onto the rice — wow, such a healthy meal.

Plus doenjang (soybean paste) stew, bulgogi, fried tofu, and other solid side dishes, so even kids who aren't great with gejang could still enjoy the meal together~

Sungnyung to finish: why Deodo Gejang suits a meal with parents

Finished off with a savory bowl of sungnyung 😊. Water poured over the crust and steeped into sungnyung — one spoonful and the meal wrapped up so cleanly. Enjoying every last grain of rice like this made for a really satisfying meal haha.

Overall the seasoning wasn't harsh at all, so it was really good to go with my parents. It felt like the natural flavor of the ingredients was preserved, which seems like it would suit older palates perfectly~ If you're looking for a Haeundae Marine City restaurant, Haeundae soy gejang, or Marine City soy gejang, I'd recommend this place. It's also great for family meals or group gatherings, so stop by once. You'll get to properly enjoy a healthy full spread!
