Geyunduan Seafood and Barbecue (阁云端海鲜烧烤食府), Xiangyue Mingyuan branch

Geyunduan Seafood and Barbecue (阁云端海鲜烧烤食府) is a seafood barbecue restaurant in Hunchun, a border city in the Yanbian prefecture of Jilin province, China. This item is the Xiangyue Mingyuan branch (祥悦名苑店). Hunchun sits near the Russian and North Korean borders and is known for fresh and imported cold-water seafood, particularly king crab, which reaches the city from Russian suppliers. The restaurant combines two formats common in the city: seafood sold by weight and a grill menu. Its best-known dishes are steamed king crab (清蒸帝王蟹), kept simple so the sweetness of the meat comes through, and grilled large scallops (烤大扇贝), typically served in the shell with garlic. Other seafood barbecue items are available, and diners often order a mix of steamed and grilled dishes to share. The room is casual and sociable, with large tables for groups, a noisy atmosphere on summer evenings and no dress code. Beer is the usual drink, along with tea and soft drinks, and there is no formal wine programme. A meal costs roughly CNY 120-250 (USD 18-37) per person, depending on whether king crab is ordered. As with other Hunchun seafood restaurants, prices are set by weight, so visitors should confirm the weight and cost before cooking begins. Reservations are advisable on summer evenings, the peak season for visitors to the border region. Hours are listed as roughly 10:00AM-9:00PM daily, and visitors should check Dianping or Trip.com for current times. The Xiangyue Mingyuan location is in a residential and commercial compound, so travellers should check the branch address in a map app.
