Crabcity in Mangwon Sijang 대게특별시 망원시장점 Crabcity in Mangwon Market

Crabcity is a crab specialty shop inside Mangwon Market in Mapo-gu, Seoul, where diners select their crab and pay by weight. Unlike the often-aggressive vendor atmosphere at markets like Noryangjin Fish Market, staff here offer friendly recommendations without any pressure, creating a relaxed buying experience. Purchased crabs are cleaned and pre-cut on-site for convenient eating. The shop carries various sizes and types including Russian snow crab, with freshness management befitting a dedicated crab specialist. Adding crab-shell fried rice for 3,000 won is highly recommended, crab meat is mixed into rice and served inside the shell, substantial enough to constitute a small meal on its own. Diners can eat at standing tables inside the shop or carry their order to the cafe across the way, where purchasing a drink allows enjoying the crab alongside coffee or tea. Takeout packaging is also available for eating at home. Pricing runs notably lower than crab at markets in Singapore, Malaysia, and other Southeast Asian destinations, which draws a steady stream of international visitors. Local residents also frequent the shop for holiday family meals.
