Sun Jia Korean Marinated Crab (K-Town)

Sun Jia Marinated Crab (孙家酱蟹) is a chain restaurant specializing in Korean-style marinated crab (ganjang gejang). The restaurant brand has been operating in Shanghai for over 30 years, and this location near Shanghai’s Koreatown, is the longest standing outlet. The signature marinated blue crabs are soaked in a traditional savory soy sauce based marinade, served with banchan, seaweed, rice, and congee. For connoisseurs seeking out a good ganjang gejang meal, look no further — the crab quality here is excellent and the roe unctuous and luxurious. It’s quite popular, so go early to avoid wait times. It’s located to the left of the main building by the carpark.
