Our family of three had a 1.8 kg king crab, three complimentary abalone, crab-shell fried rice, doenjang stew, and the self-service bar. A convenient choice for a king crab family dinner near Gijang Market. ## Good to know - **Address**: 5 Chaseongdong-ro 73beon-gil, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea - **Parking**: Use the Gijang Market Public Parking Lot; a parking voucher is provided when paying. - **King crab**: 1.8 kg at the time of visit; ₩120,000 per kg / ₩220,000 paid - **Table setting fee**: ₩5,000 - **Meal**: Crab-shell fried rice + doenjang stew: ₩5,000 - **Complimentary item**: 3 abalone *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* Today, we took a trip out toward Gijang and finally had a proper seafood meal for the first time in a while.

It is near Gijang Market, so it is in a nice spot to stop by while traveling around Gijang, and I noticed lots of international visitors too! We used the Gijang Market Public Parking Lot, and they gave us a parking voucher when we paid! ![Guide to using the Gijang Market Public Parking Lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-03-1878e-900.webp) ![The area around Gijang Myeongpum Daegae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-04-b2o65-900.webp) ![Visiting the restaurant near Gijang Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-05-1w63m-900.webp) ## Why we chose a king crab under 2 kg This time, we chose king crab rather than snow crab! I had actually been searching for good snow crab places in Gijang, Busan, when I found that they also had king crab, so we decided to have that instead. King crab can be a bit much for a family of three, but they had ones under 2 kg here, which made it feel less overwhelming—so nice!!! ![Choosing a king crab under 2 kg](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-06-6wjuk-900.webp) ![Choosing king crab for a family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-07-14n2u-900.webp) ![King crab menu at Gijang Myeongpum Daegae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-08-nlpk3-900.webp) ## The price of our 1.8 kg tank-selected king crab When you walk in, you can see tanks holding snow crab and king crab. Being able to look at them and choose the one you want makes deciding on the menu fun, too. The king crab we had that day was about 1.8 kg. At the time of our visit, it was ₩120,000 per kg, which worked out to around ₩216,000, and we actually paid ₩220,000. They picked out a king crab just right for what we wanted, so? Haha, we were happy with it! ![King crab selected from the tank](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-09-st7m2-900.webp) ![The selected 1.8 kg king crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-10-lk4se-900.webp) There is a separate ₩5,000 table-setting fee, and instead of side dishes being brought out individually, you use the self-service bar! ![Using the self-service bar at Gijang Myeongpum Daegae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-11-1pn0q-900.webp) ## A self-service bar that worked well for a family meal Gijang Myeongpum Daegae was clean, and the staff were kind, so I recommend it for family meals or group dinners! ![Clean interior of Gijang Myeongpum Daegae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-12-11hcv-900.webp) ![Dining space for a family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-13-1i59y-900.webp) The self-service bar was included with the basic table setting, so it was nice to have a few simple things alongside while waiting for the crab. ![Food at the basic table-setting self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-14-1c33o-900.webp) ![Using the self-service bar while waiting for crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-15-1o327-900.webp) When you go out for snow crab or king crab, you can get full quickly, but it is nice for a family visit because you can have other foods in between, too. ![Side dishes for a family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-16-1mdqs-900.webp) ![Table setting before the king crab meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-17-i2zg7-900.webp) ## Complimentary abalone and meaty king crab At last, the king crab arrived! They gave us three abalone as a complimentary extra! Once it was on the table, it looked like quite a feast. We slowly enjoyed it, trying everything from the legs to the body one by one. Picking out the meat is part of the fun of king crab, after all. ![King crab table setting with complimentary abalone](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-18-1lhgk-900.webp) ![Prepared king crab legs and body](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-19-vejea-900.webp) Once you order, the king crab comes prepared so it is easy to eat. King crab is admittedly a hassle to prepare yourself at home, so it really is convenient to eat it at a restaurant like this. Especially for a family meal out, I think the best part is being able to eat without worrying about food prep or cleanup! ![King crab prepared for easy eating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-20-r7v2z-900.webp) ## Crab-shell fried rice and doenjang stew to finish We visited a little late, so we ordered rice right away, too! ![Meal dishes ordered late in the day](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-21-1y8o2-900.webp) ![Rice dish ordered with king crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-22-1wdgn-900.webp) The crab-shell fried rice and doenjang (soybean paste stew) came to ₩5,000, and they even put a small snow crab leg in the doenjang! ![Crab-shell fried rice and doenjang stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-23-m1y31-900.webp) ![Doenjang stew with a small snow crab leg and fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-king-crab-family-meal/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-24-1wnbk-1200.webp) Most of all, the king crab was fresh, with a really good meat yield! It was packed full of meat! They sell not only snow crab but also king crab and lobster, so it would be a good choice for anyone who wants to try a range of menu items at a snow crab restaurant near Gijang Market. Prices at the time of our visit may differ from current prices, so be sure to check the king crab price before visiting! We had king crab instead of snow crab this time, but I would like to try the snow crab next time, too. If you are traveling to Gijang or looking for a great seafood restaurant around Gijang Market, this was a good place to compare snow crab and king crab together. It is especially worth stopping by when you want a special meal with family near Gijang Market! If you are looking for snow crab in Gijang, Busan, how about king crab instead this time? ## Where it is - Gijang Myeongpum Daegae (기장명품대게) - 5 Chaseongdong-ro 73beon-gil, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 기장군 기장읍 차성동로73번길 5 - 35.2443705, 129.2157494 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B8%B0%EC%9E%A5%EB%AA%85%ED%92%88%EB%8C%80%EA%B2%8C/@35.2443705,129.2157494,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gijang-soup-pot/gijang-king-crab-family-meal-d421/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
