On a weekend lunch, two diners ordered the large braise plus a small whole grilled cutlassfish for 39,000 won, which came with a complimentary whole grilled cutlassfish, self-serve seaweed soup from the bar and rice. Seongsan Bada Punggyeong does not require one dish per person and the staff debone the fish at the table, making it worth a return trip to Seongsan. ## Good to know - **What we ordered**: Large braise + small whole grilled cutlassfish, 39,000 won (2 people, rice included) - **Signature dish**: Free whole grilled cutlassfish with any braise order; earthenware-pot dishes also available - **Type of braise**: Cutlassfish and mackerel braised together - **Opening hours**: Mon, Tue, Thu–Sun 10:00–21:00, closed every Wednesday - **Parking**: Private lot in front of the restaurant - **Ordering**: No need to order one portion per person - **Seaweed soup**: Serve yourself from the self-serve bar - **Address**: 1st floor, 17 Ilchul-ro 288beon-gil, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo, Jeju - **Price reference**: ₩39,000 ≈ $28 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* I had lunch planned before heading to Seongsan Ilchulbong, and I heard there was a spot popular among locals that's also great value, so I went to check it out !!

You're just going to walk by .. hahaha. There's no way I could pass by a place that gives you free whole grilled cutlassfish, no way haha. ## How long is the weekend lunch wait, and what the dining room is like I visited Seongsan Bada Punggyeong with a reservation already made, but there was still a wait at weekend lunch. The interior was clean and spacious. > Clean and spacious interior ![Clean, spacious seating inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-06-1h5v2-900.webp) *Clean and spacious interior* I had a reservation, but when I visited for weekend lunch there was actually a wait?! And the crowd definitely felt more like locals than young tourists! That's exactly what makes a real hidden gem ♥ ## The menu and what two people ordered for 39,000 won Seongsan Bada Punggyeong's signature setup is that ordering the braise gets you a free whole grilled cutlassfish, and there's also a separate hot pot menu. With two of us visiting, we ordered the large braise + small whole grilled cutlassfish for ₩39,000. > Browsing a menu full of cutlassfish dishes ![Menu full of cutlassfish dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-07-1k3t2-900.webp) *Browsing a menu full of cutlassfish dishes* ![Price list on Seongsan Bada Punggyeong's menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-08-1365g-900.webp) At Seongsan Bada Punggyeong, the cutlassfish is from Jeju, and apparently so is the owner, haha. The owner's got quite the sense of humor haha. The best part here is you don't feel pressured to order one dish per person — order according to how hungry you actually are !!! ![Sign explaining the braise and hot pot menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-09-14e8y-900.webp) ![Sign describing the free whole grilled cutlassfish](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-10-2364y-900.webp) ![Menu information board inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-11-t1cx4-900.webp) ![Restaurant sign with ordering instructions](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-12-1f3ff-900.webp) The signature dish is the braise + free whole grilled cutlassfish combo! There was also a hot pot menu available. Since there were two of us, we ordered the large braise + small whole grilled cutlassfish: ₩39,000. > Make sure to join the event! ![Notice about an ongoing event at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-13-13mjt-900.webp) *Make sure to join the event!* They're running an event right now too, so everyone join in and grab some chocolate ♥ ## Side dishes and the self-serve seaweed soup bar Before the main dish arrives, Seongsan Bada Punggyeong sets out side dishes including raw seaweed. The seaweed soup is self-serve from a bar. > A generous Jeju table being set one dish at a time ![Table set with raw seaweed and other side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-14-3kfdp-900.webp) *A generous Jeju table being set one dish at a time* They set the side dishes before the ordered food comes out. From raw seaweed to a variety of banchan (side dishes), it really got the appetite going! ![Seaweed soup scooped from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-15-dn7ov-900.webp) You go to the self-serve bar to scoop your own seaweed soup, and my boyfriend said this is the real deal seaweed soup, haha — even better than his mom's, apparently. ## The free whole grilled cutlassfish, deboned by the staff Seongsan Bada Punggyeong's grilled whole cutlassfish comes free with a braise order, and the staff debone it right at your table. They cleaned an entire large cutlassfish in about a minute. > This is a free item?! An entire grilled cutlassfish included ♥ ![A whole grilled cutlassfish served as a free item](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-16-9uc8i-900.webp) *This is a free item?! An entire grilled cutlassfish included ♥* Wow ,, how is this a free item !!!!!!! A whole grilled cutlassfish free with a ₩39,000 order ,, honestly makes no sense. ![Grilled whole cutlassfish deboned by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-17-1okfe-900.webp) The staff member deboned the whole thing right there, and their hand skills were no joke. They removed every bone from that huge cutlassfish in about a minute !!! So good ♥ ## How does the braised cutlassfish and mackerel taste? Seongsan Bada Punggyeong's braise is a mixed braise with both cutlassfish and mackerel. It's spicy with deep savory flavor, and there was zero fishy smell or off taste. ![Mixed cutlassfish and mackerel braise on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-18-1shbx-900.webp) Next up, the braise arrives hahaha. Just think of it as a mixed cutlassfish and mackerel braise! ![Table with both the braise and grilled cutlassfish](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-19-1jdpx-1200.webp) The braise plus the grilled fish for ₩39,000 .. wow, it's not easy to find this kind of generous portion and quality at this price in a tourist area, and this place really feels like it understands travelers' hearts haha. It even includes rice .. ♥ So, so generous !!!!! ![Close-up of the spicy sauce-soaked mixed braise](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-20-l9n4d-900.webp) The braise had a spicy yet deep savory flavor, with the seasoning soaked into the mackerel and cutlassfish so that each bite melted softly in the mouth — really outstanding !! And there was zero fishy smell or off taste, not even a bit. ![Deboned cutlassfish eaten with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-21-1jd1v-900.webp) ![Nearly finished braise and grilled fish spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch-22-1o90g-900.webp) The whole grilled cutlassfish was plump and not too heavily seasoned, so it was pure rice-thief material ,, the two of us finished all that food. I even booked a reservation at Seongsan Bada Punggyeong for my parents, who are traveling to Jeju with friends over Chuseok ♥ Thanks to food made with so much care, I had a really satisfying trip to Jeju. If I travel near Seongsan again, I'd come back without hesitation haha !! ## Where it is - Seongsan Bada Punggyeong Jeju Seongsan Ilchulbong Branch (성산바다풍경 제주성산일출봉점) - 17 Ilchul-ro 288beon-gil, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea, 1st floor - 제주특별자치도 서귀포시 성산읍 일출로288번길 17 1층 - 33.4647271, 126.9358393 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%B1%EC%82%B0%EB%B0%94%EB%8B%A4%ED%92%8D%EA%B2%BD%20%EC%A0%9C%EC%A3%BC%EC%84%B1%EC%82%B0%EC%9D%BC%EC%B6%9C%EB%B4%89%EC%A0%90/@33.4647271,126.9358393,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@hallim-window-brew/seongsan-badapunggyeong-galchi-jorim-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
