Where Deodo Gejang is in Marine City, and where to park

I went to Deodo Gejang, a well-known spot in Haeundae's Marine City. You can park right in the building! They even support parking — just tell them your car number when you pay after eating. Great if you're driving, since you can park easily and eat comfortably.

Inside Deodo Gejang: wide dining room and high chairs

The place is really spacious too. I went for weekend lunch and it was nearly full! Seemed like it hadn't been open long.

The dining room is so wide it'd be great for groups too. The tables were nice and roomy!

They have high chairs too, so a lot of people come with kids! Perfect for a family meal out, haha. Even when I visited, plenty of families with kids were there!

I didn't have to wait, but if you go in the evening there might be a line. You can wait comfortably using Catch Table.

Deodo Gejang menu and prices

We ordered the mixed marinade nutrition pot rice set, ₩28,000 per person. I went with two people so we ordered for two. The menu is varied enough that you can pick to your taste! The ajju bulgogi looked delicious too, haha.

Checked the country-of-origin labels — just for reference, haha.

They also run a receipt-review event: two extra abalone marinades or two fried yellow crabs. Most places just give you a drink, but here they give abalone marinade and fried yellow crab — 👍

What comes with the 28,000-won mixed marinade pot rice set

Food took about 10 minutes to arrive. The whole spread comes out at once! A generous table 👍

Spicy crab marinade, soy crab marinade, shrimp marinade, abalone marinade, and octopus marinade — all together. Nice that you get to try marinades beyond just crab.

The side dishes that came with it also tasted like home cooking.

Ttukbaegi bulgogi (hot-pot bulgogi) comes out too. With crab marinade and meat both, it's even more filling. I love noodles, and there were glass noodles in it too — right up my alley.

Fish comes with it as well. Good for people who can't eat gejang!

The jeon (savory pancake) was tasty too! Not sure exactly what kind it was, but it was good, haha.

Is the kimchi jjim refillable at Deodo Gejang?

Cucumber, seaweed soup, bean sprouts, and kimchi jjim too. The kimchi jjim is delicious, haha. I refilled it once more.

Seaweed soup comes with it, but doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) also comes separately. There's even blue crab in the doenjang jjigae. The broth had real depth, haha.

Nutrition pot rice and the nurungji (crispy rice) finish

And then the warm nutrition pot rice! Nice that you get nurungji (scorched rice) at the end too.

Mushrooms, squash, and ginkgo nuts are mixed in — a healthy pot rice too, haha.

At the end, to make sungnyung (scorched rice tea), we poured in hot water and ate the rice first while waiting.

How the marinated crab and seafood marinades tasted

The gejang visuals are no joke, right? It's plenty to fill up two people comfortably. You can order extra if you're still hungry.

Every crab was packed full of meat inside. They cleaned it well for easy eating, so I put on disposable gloves and dug in.

Having octopus marinade too made it feel even more special. The octopus was chewy, and the salty seasoning wasn't too sharp — actually mild.

Abalone comes too. Properly nourishing meal. And the chili pepper placed on top of each one added a nice kick, haha.

The abalone was cut into easy-to-eat pieces! Abalone marinade that melts in your mouth.

Both the spicy and soy crab marinades were packed with meat — one bite and your mouth is full of it! The spicy version was tasty, the soy version was tasty. I think I liked the soy-marinated crab a bit more — not too salty, which I loved.

Mixed rice into the crab shell too. Mixing rice into the innards is a must, haha.

Bouncy, plump shrimp marinade — even better with rice!

Full, but you know you have to finish with sungnyung, right? Wiped my bowl clean, haha. If you're looking for a good restaurant in Haeundae's Marine City, I recommend Deodo Gejang ✨
