Family Meals in Gijang, from Abalone Porridge to Galbi

This is a good fit for families sharing a generous serving of abalone porridge. You get more than an individual bowl of porridge. A basket of accompanying dishes gives you other things to eat alongside it. Ordering porridge still makes for a full table.

At Gijang Kkeutjip Jukseong Main Branch, both Ojik Jeonbokjuk and Teuk Jeonbokjuk require a minimum order of 2 portions. Teuk Jeonbokjuk, the special version, is listed as containing twice the abalone. Choose it if you want more abalone. On weekend afternoons, plan around the break.

Cheolma Yeonbap is an easier choice for families who prefer meat to seafood. Unwrap the lotus leaf to eat the rice, with ready-grilled galbi alongside. It also suits a meal where you would rather skip grilling meat yourself.

Its location in Cheolma-myeon sets it apart from the coastal restaurants. Choose between lotus-leaf rice sets with hanwoo tteokgalbi (Korean beef patties) or pork galbi. The listed setup includes a warmer under the meat. Come for lotus-leaf rice and galbi, rather than a sea view.

For cockles and meat on one sharing platter, choose the cockle and yukjeon platter. It pairs cockle bibimbap with sogogi yukjeon (egg-battered beef pancakes). Everyone takes as much as they want from the large plate.

Older visit reports often use the name Bareut Sikdang. Diningcode currently lists the same address as Olbareut Sikdang Gijang Main Branch. Sources differ on the weekend break. For a late lunch, ask first whether you can order around 16:00.

For family members who prefer rice to porridge, Eoneu Meotjin Nal serves abalone rice. You can have abalone with rice cooked with its innards, or butter-grilled. Those who want rice and those who want porridge can each choose.

One visit report describes eating abalone rice with rosé sauce. Come when an individual plate of abalone rice appeals more than sharing a large pot of porridge. Ask the restaurant for current prices, though. Do not budget for the family meal using an old menu.

For a family gathering of snow-crab lovers, private rooms and prepared steamed crab are welcome features. Reviews describe families eating in private rooms. It suits those who want to share snow crab cut into pieces for easier eating.

Ask about the total cost first. The table-setting charge does not include the crab itself. Current weekend hours also need confirmation by phone. It is a recommendation for families specifically keen to eat snow crab.
