The place is spotless, the parking lot is spacious, and there are cafés nearby, so it's a great Yangsan crab restaurant to visit with kids. I went to Deodo Gejang (더도게장). ![Exterior of Deodo Gejang and the parking area](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-02-1t4pn-900.webp) ### Where do you park at Deodo Gejang? The parking lot for Deodo Gejang, a Yangsan crab restaurant, is right next to the building. Several restaurants share one building here, so you can park in front of the shop, and there's also a separate parking area alongside. ![Menu board hung outside showing Deodo Gejang's table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-03-3lld0-900.webp) This is the menu board you can see outside the restaurant. Everything comes as a full table spread! Crab jang (marinated crab) is the main dish here. ![Nutrition stone pot rice served right after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-04-i1acx-900.webp) ![Nutrition stone pot rice on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-05-1d7eb-900.webp) The nutrition stone pot rice comes out as soon as you order, haha! Really nice touch. ![Clean interior of Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-06-14tia-900.webp) ![Full view of the dining hall with many tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-07-1k2z3-900.webp) ### What the restaurant is like on a weekend evening Here's the interior. Spotless, through and through! Quite clean, and there are plenty of tables! I visited on a weekend evening and it was genuinely packed. Group gatherings, family dinners, meals with friends — nearly every seat was taken, haha. The prices are good and the menu composition is really solid, so it's a restaurant that draws a lot of people. ![Menu board inside Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-08-1yek2-966.webp) ![Sign explaining the choice between assorted jang, ajju, and grilled fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-09-6x0n1-966.webp) ![Price list for Deodo Gejang's table spread menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-10-9dniq-966.webp) ## Deodo Gejang set menus and prices Here's the menu board at Deodo Gejang, a Yangsan crab restaurant. It's a bit pricey for eating alone, but for two or more it's a fantastic setup. The dishes come out filling the whole table, so it's a hearty meal. You choose between assorted jang, ajju (monkfish and baby octopus), or grilled fish. ![Deodo Gejang's takeout menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-11-1wepb-900.webp) This is the takeout menu. The dishes themselves are great as side dishes for rice, so it's nice to take some home too, haha — they're total rice thieves. Today's order at Deodo Gejang, a spot near Tongdosa, was the 3-kind grilled fish + yellow crab jang + nutrition pot rice set for two at ₩48,000. Three kinds of grilled fish come out, which is great for eating with a baby, so ordering just the two-adult set was enough for three people to eat until stuffed. ![Grilled fish, yellow crab jang, and nutrition pot rice set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-12-12t6t-966.webp) ### What side dishes come with the set? With the set, you get a full spread of side dishes: cucumber salad, corn salad, seaweed, mung bean sprout salad, aged kimchi, fried tofu, kimchi pancake, blue crab doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), and soy-marinated bulgogi. There's enough here to finish a whole bowl of rice on the sides alone. ![Set side dishes including cucumber salad and corn salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-13-1qt7l-966.webp) ![Fried tofu and kimchi pancake side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-14-1a3uc-900.webp) A doenjang jjigae packed with meaty blue crab and tofu, plus the bulgogi, haha. ![Doenjang jjigae with blue crab and soy-marinated bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-15-kqrpp-966.webp) ![Blue crab doenjang jjigae packed with tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-16-1rcrn-966.webp) ## Yellow crab jang, half soy and half spicy The yellow crab jang comes as part of the set! I ordered it half and half — soy-marinated and spicy-marinated crab! ![Soy and spicy marinated crab served half and half](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-17-1kht7-900.webp) ![Plate of soy-marinated yellow crab jang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-18-wqyft-900.webp) This is the soy crab jang. You get about two crabs. The meat is soft, with no fishy taste, and the soy sauce flavor isn't too salty either — great. There's good meat yield packed between the legs too! ![Soy crab meat squeezed out and placed on seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-19-v4d6d-900.webp) Once you squeeze out the soy crab meat and wrap it with seaweed, it's absolute honey! ![Close-up of sweet spicy marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-20-3vair-900.webp) Personally I like spicy marinated crab even more than soy crab, and this one isn't overly spicy — it's sweet and delicious. ![Spicy crab meat piled on top of nutrition pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-21-iq7hf-900.webp) ![A spoonful of pot rice topped with spicy crab meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-22-1o33e-900.webp) Piling the spicy crab meat on top of the delicious nutrition pot rice — pure honey! ## Three grilled fish: the kid-friendly part of the meal Three kinds of fish came out — flatfish, yellow corvina, and a red fish. They looked coated in curry powder before frying, which made them extra crispy and tasty. Grilled fish is something kids eat well too, so it's a solid dish for a family outing. ![Three kinds of crispy grilled fish including flatfish and yellow corvina](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-23-7mhg2-900.webp) ![Fish meat laid over stone pot nurungji](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set-24-z17kf-900.webp) For the finish, laying the leftover fish over the nurungji (scorched rice tea) from the stone pot is honestly amazing, haha. It's a bit like the way people enjoy bogul-jobi (dried yellow corvina) — laying meaty fillets over cool nurungji — and this was exactly that flavor, haha. Genuinely delicious! ## Is Deodo Gejang worth a visit? Today I visited Deodo Gejang, a fantastic-value Korean restaurant near Tongdosa in Yangsan, Gyeongnam, for a hearty and delicious dinner of crab jang and grilled fish. The crab was seasoned just right, made with fresh, meaty yellow crab, and the array of side dishes on the table was generous and good. Best of all, the fish was fried so crispy and delicious that I ate it down to just the bones. Deodo Gejang uses fresh yellow crab from Jeju Island to make its delicious crab jang, and it's conveniently close to Tongdosa, Hwangsan Park, and Pusan National University Hospital. Plus, the owner has run a seafood business for over 10 years, hand-picking only fresh ingredients — which makes it a place you can trust even more. ## Where it is - Deodo Gejang (더도게장) - 2648 Yangsan-daero, Unit 202, Habuk-myeon, Yangsan-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea - 경상남도 양산시 하북면 양산대로 2648 2동 202호 - 35.4955123, 129.0913391 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%94%EB%8F%84%EA%B2%8C%EC%9E%A5/@35.4955123,129.0913391,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@island-lunch-hour/yangsan-tongdosa-crab-grilled-fish-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
