Hwahedang is a crab-focused restaurant famous for its soy-marinated crab (). They source spring crabs from Anheung Port, quick-freeze them to keep the roe intact year-round, and use a house ssi-ganjang (base soy sauce) simmered with kelp and crab shells, then blended and aged with Seosan garlic and onions for a clean, layered flavor. The meat is not overwhelmingly seasoned, so you taste the crab itself—popularly served with a piping hot dolsotbap (stone-pot rice).

Local Tips

  • House-made ssi-ganjang and Seosan garlic/onion aging give the ganjang-gejang a clear, deep flavor
  • Spring crabs from Anheung Port are flash-frozen to keep roe full year-round
  • Order the ganjang-gejang with dolsotbap set; reservations and parking make visits easy
