## In short

Dwaeji Jogae Changwon Main Branch is a steamed clam and seafood stew restaurant on basement level 1 at the entrance to Bansong Market in Banrim-dong, Seongsan-gu, Changwon. A family of three came for weekend lunch and ordered the small size for 2-3 people at 69,000 won plus a 2,000 won kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) add-on, with abalone, blue crab, scallops and squid all trimmed and prepped at the table by staff.

Dwaeji Jogae Changwon Main Branch, a clam stew and seafood stew spot at Bansong Market in Changwon

Let me introduce Dwaeji Jogae, a famous Bansong Market restaurant in Changwon known for clam stew and seafood stew!

## Where is Dwaeji Jogae Changwon Main Branch, and when is it open?

Dwaeji Jogae Changwon Main Branch is a clam stew and seafood stew restaurant located at the entrance of Bansong Market. It's on basement level 1, so you just head into the building entrance and go downstairs.

## Steamed clam prices: which size for three people?

![Menu board showing Dwaeji Jogae clam stew prices by size](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-03-7tfo0-900.webp)

Dwaeji Jogae's signature dish is a single menu item — it's clam stew, seafood stew, and clam soup all in one.

- Couple (2 people): ₩59,000
- Small (2-3 people): ₩69,000
- Medium (3-4 people): ₩85,000
- Special large: ₩109,000

You know a place that only serves one menu item is usually the real deal, right~!? You just pick the size that fits your headcount and order.

My family visited as three people, so we ordered the big small (2-3 people) size, which comes with clams, seafood, abalone, and minari (water dropwort) :)

![Basic side dishes served at Dwaeji Jogae](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-05-z6581-900.webp)

The basic side dishes came out first — simple but tasty banchan~

![Fluffy steamed potato side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-06-o0wwo-900.webp)

Warmed up with fluffy steamed potato first

![Fresh lettuce salad, seasoned bean sprouts, and acorn jelly side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-07-e3ekr-900.webp)

The fresh lettuce salad, seasoned bean sprouts, and acorn jelly were all delicious too!

## A mountain of shellfish, trimmed at the table by staff

Next came the main dish — the clam stew (seafood stew).

![Mountain of clams stacked high in the clam stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-08-cafi7-900.webp)

Seeing it in person, you get an overwhelming mountain of clams stacked up..! The quantity is insane.

![Abalone sitting on top of the clam stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-09-bqkgw-900.webp)

Starting with the abalone you can see right away

![Seafood stew piled with clams, scallops, and blue crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-10-m7w2d-900.webp)

![Full view of the clam stew with squid on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-11-quewl-900.webp)

They gave us a really generous spread of clams, scallops, blue crab, squid and more 🦑🦀✨ Clams need to be cooked just right to stay tender and plump — I always end up boiling mine too long and they get chewy ㅜㅜ

But at Dwaeji Jogae, a staff member cleaned and prepped everything right beside us so it was perfectly cooked, making it easy and delicious to eat 🤤

![Thick abalone meat after being cleaned and prepped](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-12-pgshk-900.webp)

The abalone is nice and thick ♥

![Two kinds of dipping sauce, chojang and soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-13-x492l-900.webp)

Two kinds of sauce come with it — at first, just enjoy the clams' natural flavor, then add chojang (vinegar-chili sauce) or soy sauce to taste.

![Fresh, good-quality scallop meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-14-ujm4b-900.webp)

The scallops weren't just there for show either — they were in great condition

![Well-steamed blue crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-15-cxfv3-900.webp)

![Fluffy blue crab meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-16-1b8bo-900.webp)

The blue crab meat was well-steamed, sweet and fluffy 🧡✨

![Large, plump squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-17-191zz-900.webp)

The squid was also so plump

Big in size but not chewy at all — soft and delicious :)

## The broth and the 2,000 won kalguksu noodle add-on

![Milky white clam stew broth steeped in seafood flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-18-1gh9t-900.webp)

You can't skip the broth in this clam stew~~ it's a milky, rich stock steeped in seafood flavor

There are bean sprouts for extra refreshing clarity and cheongyang chili for a spicy kick

And of course you need the knife-cut noodle add-on here*.* We were already full from the huge portion of clam stew, but we added the noodle sari (₩2,000) anyway.

![Broth with knife-cut noodles and minari added](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-19-1g6mx-900.webp)

Cook the noodles together with the minari that came out earlier

and the crisp, slightly bitter aroma of minari blends with the seafood broth so well 💚🤍

They said the big small size is for 2-3 people, but maybe because we came for lunch, the three of us ended up completely stuffed and satisfied.

## What the dining room feels like

Dwaeji Jogae Changwon Main Branch is a local favorite located in Bansong Market.

That's exactly why so many neighborhood regulars come here :)

![Spacious, clean dining hall seating at Dwaeji Jogae Changwon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-23-3fq0c-900.webp)

![Wide view of the spacious restaurant suitable for group gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market/dwaeji-jogae-changwon-bansong-market-24-11sie-m-900.webp)

That said, it's not entirely old-school in feel — it's clean and the friendly staff prep everything for you, so it's a comfortable place to eat.

The dining room is also spacious, so it looked good for family outings or group gatherings too

## How you can pay at Dwaeji Jogae

This restaurant accepts Changwon Love Gift Certificate (Zero Pay). Digital Onnuri payment is also accepted here. (Bansong Market)

## Parking at Bansong Market: where to leave the car

There are two Bansong Market parking lots you can use, but since Dwaeji Jogae Changwon Main Branch is right at the market entrance, I'd recommend the [Bansong Market parking lot across from Bansong Police Substation].

We visited during weekend lunch hours and both lots were full, but since it's a market, spots turn over quickly. Ask for a parking voucher when you leave to get the 1-hour support! (+₩200 per additional 10 minutes)

If you're looking for a true local favorite at Bansong Market in Changwon — a longtime neighborhood spot for clam soup, clam stew, or seafood stew — I highly recommend Dwaeji Jogae Changwon Main Branch!
