After a 20-minute wait on a weekend afternoon, we shared a soy-marinated crab set and a Nadeulmok set with grilled mackerel and stone-pot rice. Verdict: a worthwhile meal stop during a Yeoju trip. ## Good to know - **Parking**: Available - **Waiting**: Register at the in-store waiting kiosk - **What we ordered**: 1 soy-marinated crab set; 1 Nadeulmok set *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* While looking for a popular restaurant near Yeoju Outlet, I visited Nadeulmok Yeoju Ssalbap (나들목 여주쌀밥), which lots of people recommended. Yeoju is famous for its rice, after all. This place is known for its Korean set meals. I also saw that former President Roh Moo-hyun had visited before, along with so many other famous people, and that it has appeared on plenty of TV programs. Nadeulmok Yeoju Ssalbap is a great place to stop before or after shopping at Yeoju Outlet—I'll share everything from the wait and what we ordered to my honest thoughts on the food! ![Visit record for the Nadeulmok Yeoju Ssalbap Korean set meal restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-01-gh1vw-1200.webp) ## How long was the weekend-afternoon wait? ![In-store waiting registration kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-02-1ysvb-900.webp) At Nadeulmok Yeoju Ssalbap, you register for the wait at the kiosk inside the restaurant as soon as you arrive. When we visited at around 2 p.m. on a weekend afternoon, there were about 10 parties ahead of us? We waited in the car, then went in when it was our turn. ![Restaurant scene while waiting to be seated](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-03-1y5ht-900.webp) It looked like there were quite a few parties waiting, but the turnover was fast, so we got in after about 20 minutes. After registering, you can also sit and wait on the chairs out front. ## A Korean restaurant near Yeoju Outlet ![Nadeulmok Yeoju Ssalbap near Yeoju Outlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-04-1a15a-900.webp) Nadeulmok Yeoju Ssalbap is a Korean restaurant that makes for a good meal near Yeoju Outlet. ![Entrance to Nadeulmok Yeoju Ssalbap with tables set out](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-05-1bvdy-900.webp) ![Restaurant interior with TV-feature information and visit photos](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-06-1657q-900.webp) There were tables set up right from the entrance. Inside, I could also see TV-feature information and photos from the former president's visit. ![Restaurant exterior with weekend customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-07-14675-900.webp) ![Spacious restaurant interior with family diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-08-5pun1-900.webp) The exterior had the feel of a long-established local favorite, and perhaps because it was the weekend, there were quite a few customers out front too. The interior was more spacious than I expected, with lots of families and tables dining with older relatives. ## Ordering the soy-marinated crab set and Nadeulmok set ![Soy-marinated crab set and Nadeulmok set order](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-09-1j7br-900.webp) ![Soy-marinated crab and grilled fish set meal spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-10-1wsnf-900.webp) We ordered two different meals: one soy-marinated crab set and one Nadeulmok set. We ordered this way because we wanted to try both the soy-marinated crab and the grilled fish. ## Side dishes and fried eggplant ![Complimentary side dishes of japchae, acorn jelly, and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-11-17hv9-900.webp) The complimentary side dishes included japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), acorn jelly, and salad! Fried eggplant came out as an extra dish, and it was tastier than I expected. ![Crisp and soft fried eggplant](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-12-e2208-900.webp) It was lightly crisp on the outside and soft inside. I liked that you can order it separately as an add-on too. If you like eggplant, it seems like a nice one to add. ![Set meal side dishes with spicy stir-fried pork and soybean paste stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-13-i5cua-900.webp) ## Grilled mackerel with stone-pot rice Then the main side dishes were laid out! The set meal comes with spicy stir-fried pork and doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew), haha. The Nadeulmok set includes grilled mackerel, so it is a can't-go-wrong choice! The outside was nicely browned, while the flesh was mild and easy to eat with rice. ![Golden grilled mackerel and stone-pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-14-x0mtd-900.webp) Have a piece of mackerel with warm stone-pot rice, then spoon up some doenjang-jjigae, and even though it is not especially bold, you just keep reaching for more. ![A meal of mackerel and stone-pot rice together](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-15-1024i-900.webp) ## Yeoju rice and soy-marinated crab And then there was the soy-marinated crab! Its salty soy-based sauce went so well with the rice. Pick out the crab meat and put it over rice—soy-marinated crab really is a rice thief, haha. If you love marinated crab, it is a menu item worth ordering with Yeoju rice. ![Soy-marinated crab that pairs well with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice-16-1rl5m-900.webp) If you are visiting as two people, I recommend ordering one of each and sharing them like we did!! Even when we visited around 2 p.m. on a weekend afternoon, there were about 10 parties waiting at Nadeulmok, a popular Korean restaurant in Yeoju! There was a wait, but the turnover was quicker than expected, and I was happy with both the soy-marinated crab and the grilled mackerel set ♡ If you are looking for somewhere to eat near Yeoju Outlet or for a proper restaurant during a Yeoju trip, Nadeulmok Yeoju Ssalbap seems worth stopping by at least once. ## Where it is - Nadeulmok Yeoju Ssalbap (나들목 여주쌀밥) - 488-9 Sejong-ro, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기도 여주시 세종로 488-9 한정식 나들목) - 경기도 여주시 세종로 488-9 한정식 나들목 - 37.2562898, 127.6467412 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%82%98%EB%93%A4%EB%AA%A9%20%EC%97%AC%EC%A3%BC%EC%8C%80%EB%B0%A5/@37.2562898,127.6467412,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@rice-soup-table/yeoju-outlet-korean-crab-rice/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
