If it's an unlimited refill restaurant, many people worry that it's not fresh or hygienic. Hongge Day appeared on Korean food program named MBC Live Tonight in 2022, and it is a fresh and hygienic unlimited refill restaurant recognized by many customers, so you can eat without worries!
In addition, there are many delicious dishes prepared besides red crab and prawns.
When you feel nauseous after eating red crab, try drinking the broth of Yeonpotang. The pincers and small legs are also plump with meat, so the more you eat, the more delicious it is. If you are craving for rice after eating red crab, you can also order a stir-fried crab shell rice. Fried rice has plenty of flying fish eggs on top, so even one bite gives a savory taste in your mouth.
Moreover, when eating red crab and shrimp, soju is a perfect match! When you book with Creatrip, they offer one free beverage and ramen noodles so present your reservation details and receive the drink!
Our Visit
Today, we visited the Hongge Day, which is an unlimited red crab and prawn restaurant located at Gwangalli Beach in Busan. Hongge Day is located along the coastline, requiring visitors to take a bus or drive there. Despite the location, it's famous for its unlimited lobster refill option. The lobsters served are plump and of high quality, making it a well-known spot that even many Koreans purposely visit when they come to Busan.
The restaurant is spacious, providing a comfortable environment, and it can accommodate a large number of customers. The usage time is 2 hours.
Upon entering, I noticed a serving robot, and inside the restaurant, there's an aquarium with red crabs. The crabs in the aquarium looked impressively large and fresh.
Even though it was raining on the day I visited, I could still feel the charm that can't be experienced on sunny days.
We made a reservation before visiting, but we placed additional orders using the kiosk at the table. English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean is available! You can conveniently order basic items such as aprons, disposable gloves, utensils, and water through the kiosk without having to call a staff member, so please keep that in mind!
The unlimited red crab refill has arrived. Red crabs are served in sets of five per plate, and don't worry, eating lobster isn't too difficult! I'll explain how in a moment.
Squid mulhoe and mussel soup (honghap tang) also arrived alongside the lobster. It's not just the unlimited refill of red crabs; they also serve dishes that complement the richness of the lobster. It was really great! Mussel soup may be replaced with fish cake soup depending on the season.
First, use your hands to remove the crabr's shell. Then, split it in half. The second picture shows the crab split in half. After that, simply remove and eat the legs one by one.
If you cut along the joint of the leg and stretch it out, you'll see the meat inside, as shown in the picture. Usually, with unlimited refill restaurants the crabs can be small or of lower quality. However, at Hongge Day, each leg is packed with meat.
If you're in Busan, make sure to try the crabs and prawns at the guaranteed quality restaurant, Hongge Day! Moreover, if you show your Creatrip reservation details, you can also receive a complimentary bottle of beverage. Don't miss out on this opportunity!
