[2025 Seoul Restaurant] Travel Guide for Jinmi Sikdang (Updated Mar)

Once you have tasted raw pickled crab, you will really fall in love with it. It has become a must-eat dish for me every time I go to Korea. The cold climate near the sea means you can eat it almost all year round. This restaurant has been recommended by Michelin for many years, and its good taste is absolutely recognized. The decoration is simple and plain like a local restaurant, and it is a bit remote in the alley, but gourmets and even Korean locals flock to it! 🌟The Zhenwei Restaurant only offers one dish, which is a set meal for one person, with a crab and a variety of unlimited side dishes, steamed eggs, kimchi soup/rice crust soup, and hot rice. The table is full of authentic Korean food to entertain guests. The portion is full and suitable for people with decision-making disorders😂 🌟Compared to the spicy red sauce crab marinated with another spicy sauce, I only like the sweet soy sauce raw crab garnished with Qingyang pepper. In addition to being able to taste the sweetness and freshness of the crab, more importantly, the transparent soft and chewy crab roe is delicious with hot rice or seaweed rice or stuffed into the crab shell with crab roe. No wonder it is called the rice thief😋 ✔️They will add a more bitter but more fragrant and expensive "Gan Tai". Those who have watched Korean dramas may have heard of this type of seaweed. ✔️Free Korean steamed eggs are always delicious and are especially fragrant with sesame oil ✔️There are many free refills, don't waste them. ✔️I'm not used to the Korean-loved rice crust soup, the rice bran taste is a bit strong 📍186-6 Mapo-daero, Mapo-gu, Seoul Subway Gongdeok Station Exit 4 is about a 10-minute walk away, or Line 5, Aeryeong Station 💰 The crab set meal for one person is 45,000 won; ordering or taking out a crab is 40,000 won, about 1200-1300 Taiwan dollars 💯Please enjoy the pleasure of squeezing and sucking up the crab meat paste, because real seafood is expensive and there is not much meat😂, but it is very satisfying with rice, side dishes and surrounding sets. People who dare not eat raw food or eat very light tastes can pass it! #MichelinRecommendation #Crab

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : It’s about a 5-minute walk from Exit 4 of Erling Subway Station on Line 5 (purple). The store’s sign is very obvious at the entrance of the alley. We made a reservation to eat when the restaurant opened at 12 o'clock, but when we arrived at the door, there were already several groups sitting inside waiting. After telling the boss our reservation number, we were taken to a small private room at the back, which was just convenient for our noisy group (we were so lucky). The price of the crab in soy sauce is calculated per person. If you don't order anything else, each person has a fixed portion (45,000 KRW), which includes side dishes, steamed eggs and kimchi and kelp soup. The whole crab in soy sauce is marinated with a Japanese-style white soy sauce. The crab meat will come out of the belly shell with a slight squeeze. It tastes completely free of fishy or salty. It is a delicacy when paired with hot white rice and eaten in one bite with seaweed. It is recommended to add some white rice to the crab meat on the back shell, and then use a spoon to stir the rice and crab meat/roe evenly. One spoonful of it will instantly make you happy. The nine side dishes all have their own fans. My favorite is their kimchi. Unlike most stores where kimchi is sliced, they pickle whole baby cabbage. The taste is more spicy than sour, but the ratio is enough for people who are afraid of spicy or sour food. In addition, they have a kind of green seaweed similar to seaweed, which I have never eaten in other stores. My friend said that it feels like eating grass at first, but after eating it for a long time, you will find that it tastes better than seaweed. We ordered at least 6-7 plates of this side dish alone. I really recommend everyone to come to Zhenwei to try it. The steamed egg and kelp soup are also very delicious😋 Overall, the food quality, processing, and delivery speed are very good. I recommend friends who want to eat crab sauce to try this restaurant🙆🏻♂️ Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
