Grilled fish restaurant near Jeju Airport with a baby chair: Naneun

Here's my honest review of Naneun Jigeum Saengseoni Meokgo Sipda Yongdam Airport Branch, which I visited with my kids right after we landed in Jeju~!^^

For your first meal on a Jeju trip, you kind of want something that feels distinctly Jeju, right? 😊 After we landed, my family went looking for a dinner spot with the kids and ended up at Naneun Jigeum Saengseoni Meokgo Sipda Yongdam Airport Branch, a solid grilled fish restaurant near Jeju Airport. On the first day of travel everyone — kids and parents alike — is already tired, so even picking a menu can feel like a chore :) Grilled fish is great for sharing with kids and lets you try several kinds of fish at once, so it was the perfect dinner choice for our family 💕

Naneun Jigeum Yongdam Airport Branch: location, hours and parking

Naneun Jigeum Saengseoni Meokgo Sipda Yongdam Airport Branch is at 168 Yongmun-ro, 1st floor, Jeju-si, Jeju, and is open daily from 9:30 AM to 9:00 PM. You can use street parking at 168 Yongmun-ro, Jeju-si, or park for free at the Hancheon Bokgaecheon temporary lot (3 Yonghan-ro, Jeju-si).

We visited at night, and the sign was bright enough to spot from far away, so finding the place wasn't hard at all 🤗 The brick exterior had a fishing-boat-shaped logo and the name 'Naneun Jigeum Saengseoni Meokgo Sipda' written large, so it really stood out :) Inside, the vibe was overall relaxed and friendly. There were several tables, and true to a grilled fish specialty restaurant, they were stainless steel, so you could eat without worrying about spills. They even had a baby chair ready, which made it easy to visit with a child. On a Jeju family trip, whether a restaurant is kid-friendly really matters, and in that sense Naneun Jigeum Saengseoni Meokgo Sipda Yongdam Airport Branch was a good pick for a family meal :)

What comes with the Big Son's Set for two at 36,000 won?

That day my family ordered the Big Son's Set for two at ₩36,000 at Naneun Jigeum Saengseoni Meokgo Sipda Yongdam Airport Branch. The Big Son's Set comes with a hearty spread of assorted grilled fish plus a stew.

Looking at the menu, there was also a 'Dad's Set' that pairs grilled fish with braised fish, but since we were eating with the kids we picked the Big Son's Set, which comes with a generous amount of grilled fish! Once it was all laid out on the table, it was even more than we expected. Seeing several kinds of fish all together on one big pan really made it feel like a proper Jeju dinner 💕

Mackerel, cutlassfish, flounder and yellow croaker on one plate

The assorted grilled fish in the Big Son's Set came with mackerel, cutlassfish, flounder, and yellow croaker together. If you order just one type of fish, it can be awkward if the kids don't take to it, but with several kinds served at once, everyone could pick whichever fish suited their own taste!

The fish were grilled to a nice golden brown, savory both outside and in, and once we flaked the fish over warm rice, we barely needed any other side dishes. Especially when feeding the kids, I carefully picked out the bones and gave them mostly the flesh :) For anyone hunting for grilled fish near Jeju Airport who's torn between cutlassfish or mackerel, this kind of assorted set where you get to try several fish at once seems like a great option 😊

Soft tofu stew and the side dishes at Naneun Jigeum

For the stew in the Big Son's Set, you can choose between cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew), soft tofu stew, or kimchi stew, and we went with the soft tofu stew. It came out bubbling in a stone pot, so it stayed hot until the very last spoonful.

After the clean, savory grilled fish, the warm soft tofu stew broth was a great match. With rice, grilled fish, soft tofu stew, and the basic side dishes all laid out together, it made for quite a filling meal. There were also side dishes like bean sprouts and seaweed to eat alongside the fish :) Traveling in Jeju with kids often means ordering separate adult and kids' menus, but this time we could just flake the fish meat over rice for the kids, which made choosing the menu a lot easier 💕

Why Naneun Jigeum works for a late arrival with kids near Jeju Airport

What I liked most about visiting Naneun Jigeum Saengseoni Meokgo Sipda Yongdam Airport Branch this time was that it gave the whole family an easy, no-fuss meal on the first day of the trip. After landing in Jeju and dragging the kids and luggage around, everyone's energy is already pretty drained by the first evening..! We were in exactly that state, so instead of something elaborate, we were craving something hearty like warm rice with grilled fish.

Above all, the assorted grilled fish meant we could try mackerel, cutlassfish, flounder, and yellow croaker all on one table, and with the soft tofu stew on top of that, the adults could eat a satisfying meal too. So if you're looking for grilled fish near Jeju Airport and want somewhere kid-friendly, this is worth considering for a meal on your first or last day :)

A table of grilled fish with rice and stew is such a familiar Korean meal setup that it also hits the spot when you're craving a hearty, home-cooked-style meal during a Jeju trip :) Naneun Jigeum Saengseoni Meokgo Sipda Yongdam Airport Branch was, true to its name, a great place to think of on a day you're craving fish!
