Guri gimbap-style raw crab feast with self-serve ramen: Onggi

This time I went with my sibling and family to Onggi Kkotgejang Main Branch in Injang-dong, Guri, because I was craving crab 🥰 My family loves crab, so we decided to go all out with the unlimited refill option :) We all like soy-marinated crab (ganjang gejang) more than the spicy version, so I ended up refilling the soy-marinated crab several times that day 😆

Location and parking at Onggi Kkotgejang Main Branch

206 Donggureung-ro, Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

Open daily 11:00–21:00 / last order 20:00

There's private parking on site ⭕️ (the lot is right behind the restaurant!)

The restaurant was easy to spot from the main road, since the Onggi Kkotgejang sign is visible from outside :) It's near Donggureung Royal Tomb, so it's also a good spot to combine with some sightseeing before or after the meal.

A spacious restaurant busy even on a weekday

We went on a weekday and it was still busy :) The place was bigger than I expected too. The tables had plenty of space, which made it comfortable for a family meal, and it seemed like a good spot for larger groups as well :) Great for family gatherings or bigger parties.

A self-serve ramen corner with Shin Ramyeon

There's a self-serve ramen corner too 🥰 They had Shin Ramyeon ready to go, so it was easy to cook up a quick bowl haha

The self-serve corner also had disposable gloves and wet wipes, not just ramen :) Nice to be able to grab what you need without asking.

Near the counter, they also sold simple snacks like kkwabaegi (twisted doughnuts), nurungji (scorched rice), and sweet potato chips :) A nice thing to grab one of after the meal!

₩26,000 unlimited crab refill and the basic spread

The basic side dishes included kimchi, bean sprouts, flying fish roe, seaweed, and rice. It was a good lineup of simple dishes that paired well with the crab, making for a satisfying meal :)

• Unlimited crab refill ₩26,000 (per person)

We ordered the unlimited crab refill. It came with both soy-marinated crab and spicy marinated crab by default, and my family especially loved the soy-marinated crab 👍🏻

We put on the disposable gloves and got ready to dig in for real 🥰

Soy-marinated crab packed with roe — a total rice thief

The soy-marinated crab was so packed with meat and roe that it looked incredibly appetizing haha. Every bite had the roe popping, and it was even better eaten together with rice 😆

Picking out the crab meat and piling it on top of rice really earns the term 'rice thief' (bapdodook) 👍🏻

How was the spicy marinated crab?

The spicy marinated crab was also nicely seasoned, and the meat was plump — really delicious :)

The spicy marinated crab was well seasoned and tasty too, but our clear favorite that day was the soy-marinated crab! It was so good we refilled it several times! Visiting with family who love crab really made us appreciate the perks of unlimited refills 🥰

How was it as a family meal?

Onggi Kkotgejang Main Branch, where I went with my sibling and family, is a place worth visiting if you love crab 👍🏻 It seems especially suited to people who, like us, prefer soy-marinated crab! My family ate more of the soy-marinated crab than the spicy version, and we ended up refilling it multiple times 🥰 If you're looking for a hearty family meal in Injang-dong, Guri, or just want to eat crab to your heart's content, I'd recommend Onggi Kkotgejang Main Branch! I'd love to come back next time I'm craving soy-marinated crab 🫶🏻
