Why here
Onggi Kkotgejang has run its all-you-can-eat soy- and spice-marinated crab set in Dobong-gu for years, pricing female crab portions from around ₩4,000 each. Weekend dinner waits are long enough that regulars recommend an off-peak weekday visit instead. ChopChop University called out the crab pricing as 'legendary' value.
