Fall really is the season for shrimp and crab, so I'm writing up a Gojan-dong seafood izakaya where you can enjoy them without breaking the bank — Susan Jang (수산장) in Gojan-dong!
Where Susan Jang Gojan branch is, plus hours and parking
Susan Jang is located up near the tuna street in Gojan-dong, in Ansan's Gojan new town, and it's open daily from 17:30 to 00:30, with last order at 23:30. It's easiest to find if you head for the shabu-shabu all-day building!
Free parking is available at Rodeo Town — 1 hour 30 minutes on weekdays, 2 hours on weekends.
Live shrimp are swimming energetically in the tank out front, and they scoop them out right when your order comes in! Seeing shrimp this fresh really makes it feel like fall.
How many seats does Susan Jang have? Inside the Gojan branch
Inside this Gojan-dong seafood izakaya there are three 4-person tables plus some 2-person tables, so if you're in a large group the wait could be long.
Inside there's crab, sea squirt, sea cucumber, and live fish for sashimi — I honestly couldn't tell if this was an izakaya or a raw fish restaurant haha. A great spot to enjoy sashimi and drinks in a nice atmosphere — Susan Jang, Gojan-dong.
What we ordered at Susan Jang and what it cost
That day my friends and I basically had a pig-out party lol, everything on the menu looked too good to pass up.
- Raw shrimp sashimi ₩26,000
- 8-minute steamed crab ₩28,500
- Seasonal seafood special platter ₩59,000
- Ankimo with crackers
- Shin Ramyun ₩6,000
That's what we ordered haha.
Susan Jang's basic side dish is grilled flounder! I've also been to the Seonbu branch and paid out of my own pocket, and it was the same there. Personally I think the table spacing is much better at the Gojan branch.
We also ordered Yebisu draft beer — sadly it came out lukewarm, so they gave us an ice basket on the side. A little disappointing, but still tasty!
Does Susan Jang cut the heads off the live shrimp sashimi?
The raw shrimp sashimi (₩26,000) comes with about 9–10 shrimp, and if you ask, they'll cut off the heads for you. The shell on the body is already peeled.
The raw shrimp sashimi arrived first! So fresh it was practically still alive — Susan Jang's live shrimp.
Thankfully haha — I asked them to butter-grill the heads.
Susan Jang's raw shrimp sashimi, prepped for easy eating.
Served with vinegar-red-pepper paste and what seemed like a fire chicken sauce — sweet, rich, and so good. Visit Susan Jang before fall is over and be sure to try it!!
The buttered shrimp heads were also a top-tier side dish — gone in the blink of an eye, seriously delicious.
What comes on the 59,000-won seasonal seafood platter
Then came the seasonal seafood special! A platter loaded with seasonal sashimi and shellfish.
Rock sea squirt, live octopus, sea squirt, sea cucumber, fan mussel.
Flounder, red seabream, rockfish, and gizzard shad sashimi thrown in as a bonus! They said gizzard shad season is just starting.
Drinking out of the rock sea squirt shell like this is peak romance, isn't it. Even though it's an izakaya, the sashimi and seafood quality here rivals a dedicated raw fish restaurant — genuinely delicious at this Gojan-dong seafood izakaya. The tanks are well maintained too, no fishy smell at all, and the flesh felt moist, like it was sliced fresh to order. Sometimes when you order sashimi at an izakaya it's too dried out, but the sashimi at Susan Jang, with its own tanks, is seriously good.
We also simply ordered ankimo with crackers. It was originally meant as a palate cleanser, but piling the sweet, savory ankimo onto the crackers brought my appetite right back ^^......haha.
8-minute steamed blue crab, 28,500 won: how full is autumn crab?
Susan Jang's autumn steamed crab is ₩28,500 and takes 8 minutes to prepare once ordered. Autumn crab is all about the roe and the meat — look at how plump and moist the yield is.
Susan Jang's autumn steamed crab, perfectly moist and steamed — we really did devour it in the blink of an eye.
Finishing with Shin Ramyun cooked in the crab shell
Our very, very last palate cleanser: Shin Ramyun.
Piled onto the crab shell from the steamed crab we ate earlier, it completed a wonderfully romantic autumn spread. Gizzard shad, crab, and shrimp season has come back around — enjoy fall at this good-value, great-atmosphere Gojan-dong seafood izakaya, Susan Jang.
