The 15,000 won per person Jeju garlic hairtail stew came with thick cuts of hairtail and braised radish soaked in the sauce, plus seaweed and bean sprouts for wrapping, and a good number of foreign tourists were eating the same thing. For a full Jeju hairtail stew spread at an easy price, Onjeong Jorim Jeju Hyeopjae Branch is the answer. ## Good to know - **Jeju garlic hairtail stew**: 15,000 won per person - **Garlic mackerel stew**: 15,000 won per person - **Garlic mixed fish stew**: 15,000 won per person - **Whole grilled hairtail**: 40,000 won - **Grilled mackerel**: 15,000 won - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–22:00 - **Address**: 1st floor, 328 Hallim-ro, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju - **Amenities**: Pets allowed, high chairs, groups, reservations, parking - **Side dishes**: Self-serve bar for extra side dishes - **Price reference**: ₩70,000 ≈ $50.5 · ₩100,000 ≈ $72 · ₩15,000 ≈ $11 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Onjeong Jorim Jeju Hyeopjae Branch main image](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-01-s959k-900.webp) > Onjeong Jorim Jeju Hyeopjae Branch / 328 Hallim-ro, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, South Korea, 1st floor / Daily 10:00–22:00 / Pet-friendly, high chairs, groups welcome, reservations, parking ## Why Onjeong Jorim Jeju Hyeopjae Branch for hairtail stew near Hyeopjae Beach? Today I want to introduce a restaurant that made this Jeju trip a lot more satisfying. One of the must-eat dishes when you come to Jeju is galchi jorim (braised hairtail stew), right? But prices on Jeju have gone up so much lately that a full stew spread for two often starts at ₩70,000–80,000, and sometimes tops ₩100,000, which made me hesitate to go in a lot of the time. Then while looking around near Hyeopjae Beach and Geumneung Beach, I found Onjeong Jorim Jeju Hyeopjae Branch. ~! ![Onjeong Jorim Hyeopjae storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-02-1ndo0-900.webp) ## Inside Onjeong Jorim Jeju Hyeopjae Branch: seating and menu prices Inside, the place was clean and really spacious. ![Spacious interior seating at Onjeong Jorim Jeju Hyeopjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-03-5rx03-900.webp) *Interior* ![Braised and grilled dish menu board on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-04-1lywm-900.webp) *Interior* The first thing that caught my eye when I walked in was the menu board on the wall. In this era of high prices, Jeju garlic hairtail stew (per person) is ₩15,000, and garlic mackerel stew and garlic mixed stew are the same at ₩15,000 per person. They also have grilled options — whole grilled hairtail (₩40,000) and grilled mackerel (₩15,000) — so if you're visiting with a group, it's a great lineup for mixing braised and grilled dishes. There's a separate self-serve bar for extra side dishes. ![Self-serve side dish bar corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-05-1howv-900.webp) I couldn't believe you could still get proper hairtail stew at this price on Jeju these days — the value was overwhelming. We didn't hesitate and ordered the signature dish, the Jeju Garlic Hairtail Stew. ## What comes with the 15,000 won Jeju garlic hairtail stew? After a short wait, neat side dishes arrived along with the main dish, the Jeju garlic hairtail stew. ![Jeju garlic hairtail stew spread with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-06-19v8r-900.webp) ![Garlic hairtail stew with thick cuts of fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-07-o5dax-900.webp) ![Pot of hairtail stew layered with sauce-soaked braised radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-08-pkc3x-900.webp) The hairtail cuts were so thick it was hard to believe this was ₩15,000 per person. On top of that, plenty of sauce-soaked braised radish was layered underneath, and you could really feel the owner's generosity. ### Foreign tourists wrapping the spicy garlic sauce in seaweed too There weren't just Korean diners in the restaurant — quite a few foreign tourists were there as well. A spicy stew loaded with garlic can be a bit of an entry barrier for foreign visitors, but everyone was wrapping it in seaweed and eating it with real enjoyment. ![Table set up for wrapping hairtail stew in seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-09-15wuw-900.webp) ![Stew meal served with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-10-v2sf6-900.webp) ![Wide view of the table mid-meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-11-1p2p8-900.webp) ## How did the hairtail itself taste? I dug into the hairtail flesh in earnest. The fish was so tender that gently working the spoon along the bones revealed soft, moist white meat underneath. The hairtail meat wasn't fishy at all — clean and mild, with the spicy-sweet, sharp savoriness of garlic soaked deep in, and it practically melted the moment it hit my mouth. The sauce wasn't just relentlessly spicy either; the garlic's natural sweetness and depth of flavor came through, and the umami was incredible. ![White hairtail flesh with bones removed](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-12-15fwt-900.webp) ![Hairtail meat coated in spicy garlic sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-13-yu2i0-900.webp) Just putting a piece of the braised radish on hot rice and mixing it around was enough to make me clear a whole bowl of rice — a true 'rice thief.' ![Braised radish piece placed on rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-14-v2aie-900.webp) Take a full bite of this combination and the nutty aroma of the seaweed hits first, then the crunch of the bean sprouts, and finally the hairtail meat and the sharp, spicy garlic sauce come together perfectly. The seaweed wraps the whole flavor in nuttiness, and it just kept going without ever getting tiring! ![A seaweed wrap with hairtail meat and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-15-xp9ja-1200.webp) ![Nearly empty pot of hairtail stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-16-1dbc7-900.webp) ![Finishing up a hairtail stew meal at Onjeong Jorim Hyeopjae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim/hyeopjae-onjeong-jorim-galchi-jorim-17-1klws-900.webp) ## Who is Onjeong Jorim Jeju Hyeopjae Branch best for?
