Deojingejang
Deojingejang is a Korean restaurant specializing in gejang (marinated crab) located in Anjung-eup, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do. It serves soy-marinated crab (ganjang gejang) and spicy marinated crab (yangnyeom gejang) made with top-grade female and male blue crabs from Yeonpyeongdo, accompanied by pot rice (sotbap), scorched-rice crust (nurungji), and a self-service bar with about 20 side dishes.
Highlights
- Only top-grade female and male blue crabs from Yeonpyeongdo are used, so the crab meat is firm; the soy marinade is subtly absorbed and not salty, and the spicy marinated crab has a sweet-and-spicy seasoning that penetrates all the way through.
- The gejang comes with pot rice, and after finishing the meal you can enjoy the scorched-rice crust (nurungji); mixing rice in the crab shell is another pleasure.
- More than 20 side dishes are spread across several self-service bars, so it is fun to pick and choose to your taste, and there is no worry about running out of side dishes.
- The set includes beef tartare (yukhoe) and a tasting of spicy marinated crab, and the jjimdak is tender with generous portions, making the whole table plentiful.
- The store is spacious and clean, and with a private room, group seating, and baby chairs, it suits family dining, group gatherings, and quiet meals alike.
