Ilsan soy crab buffet, back after 10 years with my husband: Deodeo

Deodeo Ganjanggejang Muhalliripil (더더간장게장무한리필) is an all-you-can-eat restaurant for soy-marinated and spicy marinated crab on Wondang-ro in Goyang, Gyeonggi. About 10 years after her first visit, the writer returned with her husband for the 24,900-won adult set of soy crab, spicy crab, blue crab stew and pudding-soft steamed egg, and got refills of as many crabs as she wanted without any awkwardness. Despite her worry that an all-you-can-eat deal would mean lower quality, Deodeo Ganjanggejang Muhalliripil beat her expectations with meaty, fish-smell-free crab and friendly service.

Daechang grill house in Baekseok, Goyang: 640g A set at Chodaechang

Chodaechang Baekseok Branch (초대창 백석점) is a daechang (grilled beef large intestine) and teugyang (beef abomasum) restaurant in the Baekseok food alley in Ilsandong-gu, Goyang, and has been listed by Blue Ribbon three years in a row, from 2024 to 2026. The writer had the 640g assorted A set of daechang, makchang, teugyang and heart, grilled at the table by staff, with doenjang sulbap (soybean paste stew with rice) to finish, and found the Chodaechang daechang tasted like that of a favorite daechang shop that closed 10 years ago. Anyone chasing the memory of an unforgettable daechang should visit Chodaechang Baekseok Branch and order an extra portion of daechang on its own.
