Why here
Ildeungbau has run the same jeonnam-style seafood menu near Garak Market for more than 20 years, serving soy sauce-marinated crab from around ₩9,000 a portion alongside vinegar-dressed raw octopus and a rotating lunch teukseon set. It's a lunchtime queue spot for market workers, though tables turn over quickly. A ChopChop short flagged the crab price as unusually cheap decades after the restaurant first built its name on Baek Jong-won's food-tour show.
