A variety of banchan (Korean side dishes), including seasoned bracken fern, seasoned bean sprouts, stir-fried mushrooms, and stir-fried anchovies, arrived neatly arranged on a round tray! Spicy pork stir-fry and deeply flavorful miyeokguk (seaweed soup) came with it, so I could enjoy a generous Gagyeong-dong Korean spread even before the mains arrived! ![Jeju Badang self-service side-dish bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang-13-rc30b-900.webp) The self-service bar, where you can easily help yourself to more side dishes, is kept very clean!

The chicken was much tastier than I expected! It was a real treat! ## Pot rice and boneless braised hairtail ![Pot rice and seaweed soup meal setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang-16-8byha-900.webp) ![Hot water being added to pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang-17-trumn-900.webp) Scoop out the rice from the pot rice and pour in hot water to leave it sitting! Warming your stomach first with seaweed soup before the main meal makes everything feel so nice and clean! ![Jeju Badang boneless braised hairtail table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang-18-renw4-1200.webp) The boneless braised hairtail, the restaurant's main dish, was so convenient to eat because there was no need to pick out any bones! ![Sweet-spicy boneless braised hairtail](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang-19-15c07-900.webp) ![Hairtail flesh and sauce in the braised hairtail dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang-20-px97l-900.webp) The reduced, sweet-spicy sauce had soaked deep into the moist, tender hairtail flesh, and placing it over warm rice naturally brought out an exclamation! The seasoning was not overpowering yet had a deep savory flavor, so a whole bowl of rice disappeared in no time. ## Grilled mackerel and spicy pork stir-fry ![Golden-brown grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang-21-1a2xr-900.webp) The grilled mackerel was better than expected too! It was crisp on the outside, while the inside stayed moist and full of juices! ![Crisply grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang-22-1g75p-900.webp) ![Grilled mackerel flesh and skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang-23-1n1mn-900.webp) The mackerel's characteristically rich oiliness and tender flesh were wonderfully balanced, and even the golden-brown grilled skin was mild and delicious! ![Spicy pork stir-fry with a smoky flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang/cheongju-gagyeongdong-fish-bansang-24-17gig-900.webp) The spicy pork stir-fry was also excellent with rice, with just the right smoky flavor and seasoning!
