The signature modeum-jang set for two comes with soy-marinated crab, spicy marinated crab, marinated shrimp, abalone and octopus, plus grilled fish, bulgogi, jeon, nutritious pot rice and a doenjang stew packed with crab. Seasoning at Deodo Gejang is mild with almost no fishy taste, making it an easy Marine City Korean restaurant to visit with children or parents. ## Good to know - **Location**: 37 Marine City 3-ro, Units 103, 104, 105, 106, Haeundae-gu, Busan (U-dong, Hanil Ordu) - **What we ordered**: Modeum-jang nutritious pot rice set for two - **Modeum-jang lineup**: Soy-marinated crab, spicy marinated crab, marinated shrimp, marinated abalone, marinated octopus - **Set includes**: Nutritious pot rice, seaweed soup, side dishes, grilled fish, bulgogi, jeon, doenjang stew - **Parking**: Parking available inside the building - **Size**: Wide hall of over 60 pyeong (about 198 sq m), per the restaurant *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Main image of Deodo Gejang Marine City](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-01-ch7pc-966.webp) I finally made it to Deodo Gejang's Marine City branch, a Marine City Korean restaurant that had just opened and that I'd been wanting to try. I love soy-marinated crab (ganjang gejang) but places that are too salty or fishy always leave me a little disappointed — this place, on the other hand, was clean and refined across the board without being over-seasoned. ❤️ On top of that, the side dishes were varied and generous, so it's a Marine City restaurant I'd recommend for a family meal out in Haeundae too. ⭐ ## Where is Deodo Gejang Marine City, and is there parking? ![Exterior and entrance of Deodo Gejang building in Marine City](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-02-1ark9-966.webp) Deodo Gejang Marine City, a Haeundae soy crab spot, sits right in the middle of Marine City. It's close to The Bay 101 and Dongbaek Island, and also easy to reach from residential complexes like Haeundae I'Park and Doosan We've the Zenith, so it's a local Haeundae favorite with a lot of nearby residents coming in for meals. 🚗 Parking is available in the building, which made driving over easy. ## Inside Deodo Gejang: a 60-pyeong open hall ![Spacious, comfortable interior hall of Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-03-ngvdv-966.webp) ![Overview of seating inside Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-04-37vtq-966.webp) The store is said to have an open hall over 60 pyeong (about 198 sqm), and stepping inside, it really was spacious and pleasant, ![Generously spaced tables at Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-05-1a45n-966.webp) The tables were spaced generously apart, and the tables themselves were large, so there was plenty of room for a full spread with lots of dishes laid out at once. 👍 ## What comes in the modeum-jang pot rice set for two ![Menu sign for the modeum-jang nutrient pot rice set at Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-06-1o3l2-966.webp) ![Vertical image of the Deodo Gejang menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-07-lgqvf-966.webp) ![Description of the full set menu composition at Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-08-1qgwj-966.webp) ![Menu introduction image at Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-09-1jone-966.webp) ![Vertical menu information image at Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-10-hslf9-966.webp) ![Menu information image at Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-11-wxy67-966.webp) That day I ordered Deodo Gejang's signature and apparently most popular menu, the ✨modeum-jang nutrient pot rice set for two. ![Table fully set with the modeum-jang nutrient pot rice set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-12-17rmc-1200.webp) After a short wait, the table was filled edge to edge, ![Modeum-jang with soy crab, spicy crab, marinated shrimp, abalone, and octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-13-1knkz-966.webp) The modeum-jang (assorted marinated seafood) came with soy crab, spicy marinated crab, marinated shrimp, marinated abalone, and marinated octopus, all together, ![Full set with nutrient pot rice and seaweed soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-14-v3ug1-966.webp) ![Table setting with side dishes and grilled fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-15-6ke6v-966.webp) On top of that came nutrient pot rice, seaweed soup, an assortment of side dishes, grilled fish, bulgogi, jeon, and doenjang jjigae — quite a generous spread. 👍 ## Soy-marinated crab and spicy crab: how salty are they? The 🦀soy-marinated crab I'd been looking forward to had plump, satisfying meat, but what I liked most was that ⭐ it wasn't salty at all! Soy crab can sometimes be so salty you can't eat it without rice, but here the seasoning was mild enough to eat plain without feeling overwhelmed, and there was almost no fishy taste, so it went down clean. 👍 Mixing rice into the crab shell with the savory tomalley and wrapping it in seaweed was, as expected, delicious. 😍 If you love soy crab but usually find it too salty, this mild, clean seasoning would suit you well — it's a genuinely good Haeundae soy crab spot for that.❤️ ![Spicy, savory marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-16-1nxpo-966.webp) 🦀 The spicy marinated crab didn't let the seasoning overpower the crab's own flavor — you could still taste the crab itself — and again, it wasn't salty, just a slightly spicy, savory kick that made it delicious. 👍 ### Marinated shrimp, abalone and octopus at Deodo Gejang 🍤🐚🐙 I liked that the modeum-jang wasn't just crab — I also got to try marinated shrimp, abalone, and octopus. The seafood pieces were on the large side with good chew, and each had a different texture, which made it fun to eat one after another. Overall the modeum-jang wasn't overly seasoned, so you could really taste the natural flavor of each ingredient. ❤️ ## Side dishes, grilled fish and bulgogi in the set ![Basic side dish spread at Deodo Gejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-17-9mf3l-966.webp) ![Grilled fish coated lightly in starch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-18-7u0su-966.webp) ![Bulgogi served as part of the full set](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-19-m2urj-966.webp) ![Jeon and side dishes served with the full set](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-20-i19s0-966.webp) The full set also came with grilled fish, bulgogi, and jeon — the side dishes were neat and mild enough to eat without any pressure. 👍 The grilled fish in particular was lightly coated in starch before grilling, so it was crispy outside and moist inside — really good. The bulgogi also paired well with the crab.👍 Eating crab non-stop can get heavy after a while, but mixing in the other sides and grilled fish along the way made it feel like a full hanjeongsik (traditional set meal) spread. 💜 ## Crab doenjang stew and nurungji sungnyung (scorched rice tea) ![Doenjang jjigae packed with crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-21-wvyvi-966.webp) The doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) that came with the meal was also a standout, It was packed with crab, giving the broth a deep, savory richness — clean and not overpowering, but with real depth of flavor. 👍 ![Sungnyung made by pouring water over pot rice nurungji](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-22-1emie-966.webp) At the end, I poured water over the leftover nurungji (scorched rice) from the pot rice to make sungnyung (scorched rice tea). After working through the crab and all the side dishes, finishing with warm, toasty sungnyung felt genuinely comforting. ❤️ ## Is Deodo Gejang good for a family meal in Haeundae? ![The full set at Deodo Gejang after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-23-1q79u-966.webp) What I liked most about eating at Deodo Gejang was that nothing was over-seasoned — everything felt clean overall. 👍 It works well for a meal among adults, but I'd also recommend it as a Haeundae family restaurant for eating out with kids or bringing your parents along. ![Closing photo of the full set at Deodo Gejang Marine City](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang-24-1ey3l-966.webp) If you're looking for Haeundae soy crab, a Marine City soy crab restaurant, or Haeundae Korean food, give Deodo Gejang Marine City a try. ❤️ ## Where it is - Deodo Gejang (더도게장) - 37 Marine City 3-ro, 103, 104, 105, 106, Haeundae-gu, Busan (Udong, Hanil Ordu), South Korea - 부산광역시 해운대구 마린시티3로 37 103,104,105,106호 (우동, 한일오르듀) - 35.1554206, 129.1462246 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%94%EB%8F%84%EA%B2%8C%EC%9E%A5/@35.1554206,129.1462246,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@rice-margins-busan/haeundae-marine-city-the-do-gejang-modeumjang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
