On a weekday afternoon with no wait, the writer ordered the Big Son Set (큰아들정식) and paid an extra ₩2,000 to swap one fish for tilefish, ending up with mackerel, cutlassfish, tilefish and cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew) all on one table. It was the most memorable grilled fish meal of the whole Jeju trip, one worth bringing parents back to next time. ## Good to know - **Location**: 168 Yongmun-ro, 1st floor, Jeju-si, Jeju, South Korea (5 min by car from Jeju Airport) - **Ordered**: Big Son Set (큰아들정식) — grilled fish + stew + side dishes - **Fish swap**: One fish upgraded to tilefish for an extra ₩2,000 - **Hours**: 09:30–21:00 (last order 20:30) - **Parking**: Available - **Seating**: Round tables, generously spaced *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* On this trip to Jeju, my husband really wanted grilled fish, so I searched for a good spot near Jeju Airport and we ended up at Naneun Jigeum Saengseoni Meokgo Sipda Yongdam Airport Branch.

As the name suggests, this place serves all kinds of grilled fish, so if you're a fish lover, picking a menu item is half the fun. Even before stepping inside, the smell of grilled fish drifting out made me way hungrier, haha. ![A full table of side dishes served with the set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-02-1rsao-900.webp) ## Side dishes like homemade cooking, extras from the self-serve bar Such a colorful spread of side dishes ✨ It really seemed like everything was made in-house! It totally tasted like homemade food. We got stir-fried fish cake, sautéed mushrooms, kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi), spicy radish salad, and seasoned bean sprouts, among others, haha. ![Plate of stir-fried fish cake and spicy radish salad among side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-03-krhuz-900.webp) You can grab extra side dishes from the self-serve bar! Being able to help yourself to more like this is so convenient, hoho. Personally, the fish cake was really tasty! ![Self-serve bar where diners can grab extra side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-04-1mx65-900.webp) ![Extra side dishes brought over from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-05-shewr-900.webp) ## Visited after weekday lunch hour, ordered the Big Son Set I visited after the weekday lunch rush! I hadn't made a reservation, but since it was a weekday, there was no wait and seats were open. We ordered the Big Son Set (큰아들정식), which comes with grilled fish, a stew, and side dishes together. Aren't the menu names just so charming, haha. ### The menu ![Menu board of Naneun Jigeum Saengseoni Meokgo Sipda Yongdam Airport Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-06-nqu1w-900.webp) ![Menu page listing the set meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-07-uzd7e-900.webp) ![Menu board listing types of grilled fish sets](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-08-vimup-900.webp) ![Menu section noting the solo-diner set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-09-ed2y7-900.webp) ![Wide menu board laid out horizontally](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-10-tpivd-900.webp) There's even a solo-diner set, so anyone traveling to Jeju alone should be able to enjoy a meal here too. We paid ₩2,000 extra to swap one fish for tilefish! Since we were in Jeju, we wanted to pair the fish we normally eat with tilefish, which isn't easy to find elsewhere. The food came out quickly, and the table was set with a really generous spread 👍🏻 ![A generously set table with the Big Son Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-11-u8pwn-900.webp) ## The atmosphere and seating Inside, the restaurant has round tables spaced generously apart, making for a comfortable dining atmosphere 👍🏻 We visited after the lunch rush so there were no other customers, but watch out for waits during actual mealtimes!! ![Restaurant interior arranged with round tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-12-1d7za-900.webp) ## How the grilled mackerel and cutlassfish tasted The fish came out perfectly golden-brown and easy to eat, and picking off the flesh while it was still warm to eat with rice made me realize — this is what they mean by a 'rice thief'! Grilled fish really has to be eaten fresh out of the grill for the best flavor, haha. The fish were grilled just right, so they tasted clean yet savory, and went perfectly with rice 👍🏻 I'd never seen mackerel this big before, and it was seriously delicious 👍🏻 ![Golden-brown grilled mackerel served on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-13-5tso7-900.webp) Since it's near Jeju Airport, I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're looking for a place to eat during your trip! My husband, who loves grilled fish, was picking apart every last bit of flesh and looked so happy doing it, haha. His favorite grilled fish was the cutlassfish! ![Picking flesh off a piece of grilled cutlassfish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-14-onwr1-900.webp) ### Paired with cheonggukjang We ate the grilled fish together with cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew), and its savory, earthy flavor went really well with the fish! I mixed it into my rice and ate it right down to the last bite. ![Cheonggukjang served alongside the grilled fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set/jeju-yongdam-grilled-fish-eldest-son-set-15-jxapg-900.webp) If you visit with family, you can share several different kinds of fish, so if I come back to Jeju, I'd love to bring my parents next time, haha.
