Jeju noodle restaurant with 50-year Donam Jemyeon noodles: Myeonjumak

When you think of what to eat on a Jeju trip, most people think black pork, braised hairtail, grilled hairtail, or sweet shrimp! But there's one Jeju local dish you can't skip ~~ dombegogi (boiled pork sliced on a cutting board) and the gogi-guksu (pork noodle soup) topped with it ❤️ So I went to Myeonjumak, known as a gogi-guksu spot near Eco Land and Saryeoni Forest Path.

How far is Myeonjumak from Eco Land and Saryeoni Forest Path?

Myeonjumak Jeju Main Branch

Myeonjumak is a Jeju gogi-guksu spot about 9 minutes by car from Eco Land and 14 minutes by car from Saryeoni Forest Path. At the entrance, a painting of a dol hareubang (stone grandfather statue) pulling noodles, and another of a horse grazing in a garden while enjoying gogi-guksu, caught my eye right away!!

Myeonjumak, a Jeju gogi-guksu favorite, is open from 9am to 3pm, so I went for breakfast ^^ Even right at opening time, a lot of people were already there ~~

Parking for over 100 cars at Myeonjumak, easy even for new drivers

What impressed me was how huge the parking lot is ~~ it fits over 100 cars, so parking is a breeze ~~ The owner even joked that new drivers could practice parking and driving there haha

Myeonjumak's menu: 8 noodle dishes and dombe samhap, 10 servings a day

There's a really wide variety of noodles — gogi-guksu, bibim guksu, myeolchi guksu, gogi bibim guksu, cold myeolchi guksu, sora bibim guksu, myeolchi gogi guksu, jeonbok gogi guksu ~~ And if you're not in the mood for noodles, there's also gogi gukbap, kongnamul gukbap, and jeonbok juk (abalone porridge) for a hearty hangover cure! As a side, there's dombegogi, and I loved that you can order a half portion — plus dombe sora, dombe jeonbok, and dombe samhap are sold in a strictly limited run of just 10 servings a day ~~

The dombegogi is made from freshly slaughtered 100% Jeju black pork, boiled twice a day, at 9am and noon!! That's probably why it was so crowded at 9am haha — truly a Jeju gogi-guksu favorite ~~

Free baby noodles and a self-serve bar at Myeonjumak

Radish tea, hair ties, disposable aprons, baby noodles, kids' spoons, a microwave for baby food, a phone charging corner, stain remover, even disposable mouthwash — the owner's service mindset is top notch 👍🏻

You order via tablet!! And for babies under 36 months, the baby noodles are free ~~

Diced radish kimchi and cabbage kimchi came out, both great with noodles ~~ There's also savory anchovy broth at the self-serve bar, so you can help yourself haha

Every table is set with pepper, chili powder, salt, and seaweed flakes, so it's easy to season your gogi-guksu to taste ~

Donam Jemyeon noodles, 50 years on, and a 2026 top restaurant plaque

Myeonjumak uses Donam Jemyeon noodles with 50 years of tradition, so they're much chewier and tastier than the noodles at other gogi-guksu spots ~~ And the Donam Jemyeon noodles are sold here more affordably than in stores haha

On the way in, I noticed Myeonjumak's national top restaurant plaque — apparently it was selected as a 2026 top restaurant, the highest tier with 3 stars!!

Gogi-guksu and bibim gogi-guksu for two, with a half order of dombegogi

Since there were two of us at Lucky Sunny, we ordered gogi-guksu, gogi bibim guksu, and a half order of dombegogi ~~ The half order of dombegogi came out first!!

Dombegogi with a flag marked '100% Jeju black pork' haha. Dombegogi comes from dombe, meaning cutting board — it refers to boiled pork sliced and served on one!

At Myeonjumak, a Jeju gogi-guksu favorite, the black pork dombegogi had no gamey smell and was even more tender and delicious ~~ I dipped it in ssamjang and topped it with fermented seafood too!!

While I was still enjoying the dombegogi, the gogi-guksu and bibim guksu arrived haha. Eating a hearty breakfast at Myeonjumak before a full day of Jeju sightseeing is just the way to go ~~

Gogi-guksu has a warm, milky broth, so it's great for breakfast and a noodle style even kids can enjoy. Slurping the noodles with the pork on top is a must!!

The bibim gogi-guksu had a jjolmyeon-like texture with a tangy, slightly spicy sauce, and the crunch of the vegetables was great too — really delicious. There was plenty of dombegogi left over, so I piled it all onto the bibim guksu haha

Who should eat at Myeonjumak on a Jeju trip?

If you're planning a Jeju trip that includes Eco Land or Saryeoni Forest Path, I'd definitely recommend having a meal of dombegogi and gogi-guksu at Myeonjumak ^^ It was also nice that Naver reservations were easy to make.
