Discover Authentic Korean Flavor: MyungHyun Man’s Ganjang Gejang Buffet in Incheon

Are you a fan of Korean cuisine? If so, you absolutely must try Ganjang Gejang (간장게장), often called the “rice thief” for its incredible ability to make you devour bowls of rice. Today, we’re diving into the world of Ganjang Gejang and exploring a fantastic all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant in Incheon: MyungHyun Man’s Yeongpyeongdo Ganjang Gejang (명현만의 연평도 간장게장).

Owned by a Korean MMA Champion!

This isn’t just any Ganjang Gejang buffet. MyungHyun Man’s is owned by none other than MyungHyun Man (명현만), a renowned Korean heavyweight MMA fighter and YouTuber! While you might be surprised to find a 격투기 (Gyeoktugi – MMA) fighter running a 게장 (Gejang – crab) restaurant, it adds a unique and interesting layer to your dining experience. Don’t worry, you won’t need to fight for your crab – there’s plenty to go around!

100% Domestic Yeonpyeongdo Blue Crabs

What sets MyungHyun Man’s apart is their commitment to quality. They proudly use 100% domestic Yeonpyeongdo blue crabs (연평도 꽃게), known for their superior taste and freshness. This is especially impressive for an unlimited buffet! Yeonpyeongdo is famous for its high-quality crabs, ensuring a truly authentic Korean Ganjang Gejang experience.

All-You-Can-Eat Ganjang Gejang Feast

For 25,900 KRW per person, you can indulge in unlimited Ganjang Gejang made with these premium crabs. While the price is typical for Ganjang Gejang buffets in Korea, the quality here stands out. The restaurant also offers a self-service bar with ramen noodles, various side dishes, and a delicious crab-based seaweed soup (꽃게 미역국) which is a delightful and unique addition. Egg fried rice is also available for unlimited refills.

Taste and Quality Review

Let’s talk about the star of the show – the Ganjang Gejang itself. The crabs, while not enormous, were consistently packed with meat. Each crab we tried, across multiple refills, was satisfyingly full. There was no compromise on quality for being a buffet, which is a huge plus. The soy sauce marinade (간장) was perfectly balanced – slightly sweet with just the right amount of saltiness. It wasn’t overpowering, allowing you to enjoy the natural flavor of the crab. You could even eat the crab meat alone without it being too salty, a testament to a well-crafted marinade.

They also offer Yangnyeom Gejang (양념게장), spicy marinated crab, but the Ganjang Gejang is definitely the highlight here. The Yangnyeom Gejang was decent, with a standard spicy flavor, but the real star is the soy sauce marinated version.

Ambiance and Location

The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, making for a comfortable dining experience. It’s also family-friendly, equipped with a kids’ play area. MyungHyun Man’s Yeongpyeongdo Ganjang Gejang is located in Incheon (인천), Seo-gu (서구). It’s a great spot for families, groups of friends, or anyone craving authentic, high-quality Ganjang Gejang.

Final Verdict

MyungHyun Man’s Yeongpyeongdo Ganjang Gejang offers a fantastic Ganjang Gejang buffet experience. With its use of 100% domestic Yeonpyeongdo crabs, delicious marinade, and comfortable atmosphere, it’s a must-visit for Ganjang Gejang lovers in Incheon. The fact that it’s owned by a Korean MMA champion just adds to its unique appeal! If you are in Incheon and looking for a place to enjoy “밥도둑” (rice thief) at its finest, look no further.
