Seogwipo seafood restaurant: cutlassfish set at Jejurowoon

Can you have braised cutlassfish and pot-cooked rice in Seongsan, Jeju?

I had the A Set, which includes braised cutlassfish, at Jejurowoon Cheonghaewon Seongsan Ilchulbong Branch (제주로운청해원 성산일출봉점). Near Seongsan Ilchulbong, Seopjikoji, and Aqua Planet Jeju, it was a restaurant where I could pair braised cutlassfish with warm pot-cooked rice.

The address is 101 Sinyang-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, South Korea. The hours listed in the original post were daily from 8:00 AM to 9:30 PM.

Is it suitable for dining with children or groups?

The interior was spacious and pleasant. There were plenty of tables, and it felt large enough for group meals.

The staff were kind, and there was also a staff member who spoke Chinese during my visit. High chairs were available, which seemed helpful when dining with young children.

The restaurant also sold Jeju souvenirs, including snacks such as jjonddeugi (chewy puffed snack) and hallabong snacks.

What are the set menus and per-person prices?

The original post listed four set menus. Each set included sticky pot-cooked rice and soy-marinated crab, with either seafood stew or sea urchin seaweed soup listed as the soup.

• A Set: braised cutlassfish, grilled tilefish, sticky pot-cooked rice, soy-marinated crab, and seafood stew or sea urchin seaweed soup — ₩24,000 per person
• B Set: mackerel kimchi braise, grilled tilefish, sticky pot-cooked rice, soy-marinated crab, and seafood stew or sea urchin seaweed soup — ₩21,000 per person
• C Set: grilled tilefish, sticky pot-cooked rice, soy-marinated crab, and seafood stew or sea urchin seaweed soup — ₩16,000 per person
• D Set: black pork duruchigi (spicy stir-fry), sticky pot-cooked rice, soy-marinated crab, and seafood stew or sea urchin seaweed soup — ₩18,000 per person

During my visit, there was also a promotion offering hallabong jelly for writing a receipt review.

How much food was in the A Set, and how did the braised cutlassfish taste?

We ordered the A Set at ₩24,000 per person. The basic side dishes were neatly arranged, and I liked that they could be refilled.

The table spread we received felt sufficient for two to three adults. However, the original post does not state how many portions were ordered, so it is difficult to treat this quantity as a single-serving reference.

The braised cutlassfish had a reduced broth that went well with rice. It was not very spicy to my taste, and the radish cooked with it also paired well when placed over the rice.

How were the soy-marinated crab and sea urchin seaweed soup?

I mixed rice with the soy-marinated crab included in the A Set. I alternated the side dishes while also placing braised cutlassfish over the rice.

The sea urchin seaweed soup we had alongside it had a rich broth and plenty of seaweed. Since it was not spicy, it was good to have with children.

Can you finish pot-cooked rice with sungnyung?

The rice served in a stone pot was both sticky and fluffy. When I opened the lid, the pot was filled with rice.

After transferring the rice to another bowl, I added cold water to the pot to make sungnyung (scorched-rice tea). After the braised cutlassfish and side dishes, the crispy-rice broth made a good finish to the meal.
