A first-time horse meat eater ordered the Joa Course at ₩39,000 for two and ate eight dishes in order — extract, sashimi, yukhoe (raw beef-style tartare), sushi, makkas (horse meat cutlet), braised ribs, grilled meat and shabu-shabu — all of it mild, with none of the gamey smell expected. Because each dish comes in small shared portions, Marijoa suits families with different tastes and is worth returning to with parents. ## Good to know - **What we ordered**: Joa Course, ₩39,000 × 2 servings - **Course lineup**: Extract → sashimi → yukhoe → sushi → makkas → braised ribs → grilled → shabu-shabu - **Meat origin**: All Korean-raised horse meat - **Location**: 215 Ieodo-ro, Seogwipo, Jeju — near Olle Trail Course 8 - **Price reference**: ₩39,000 ≈ $28 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* Marijoa Seogwipo Jungmun Branch ![Exterior of Marijoa Seogwipo Jungmun Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-01-8w3jp-900.webp) ## Horse meat instead of black pork in Jeju: Marijoa Seogwipo Jungmun Branch When you think of Jeju travel, black pork and braised hairtail come to mind, right? That was me too, but this time I worked up the courage to try horse meat! Before eating, I was half worried ("what if it's fishy?") and half curious. People kept telling me you have to try horse meat in Jeju, and sure enough the place was busy and bustling. The restaurant was clean and well organized. The owner and staff were kind too! Apparently lots of celebrities have visited, and it's popular for group gatherings — Marijoa! ![Interior and seating at Marijoa Seogwipo Jungmun Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-02-segfn-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged dining hall at Marijoa](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-03-yuq5m-900.webp) ![Marijoa dining room busy with group diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-04-dgof6-900.webp) ![Wall decor and signage at Marijoa](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-05-18sb1-900.webp) A go-to spot on Olle Trail Course 8, where everything was domestic Korean product. ![Signage noting domestic Korean horse meat at Marijoa](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-06-1pank-900.webp) ## What comes in Marijoa's ₩39,000 Joa Course: all 8 dishes We ordered the Joa Course at ₩39,000 x 2 servings. The course came out in this order: Extract → Sashimi → Yukhoe (raw beef-style tartare) → Sushi → Makkas → Braised ribs → Grilled → Shabu-shabu Amazing, right? haha ![First spread of the Joa Course at Marijoa](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-07-89fsw-1200.webp) Ta-da, a generous full table came out first. ![Generous side dishes for the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-08-qdr92-900.webp) ![Close-up of the Joa Course side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-09-11cug-900.webp) ### 1. Extract (horse bone broth shot) The dish that opens the course. It felt like a gentle warm-up before the real horse meat journey began. ![First course dish, horse meat extract](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-10-28o9w-900.webp) ![Horse meat extract served in a glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-11-1bg72-900.webp) ![Table setting before drinking the extract](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-12-12uvz-900.webp) ### 2. Horse meat sashimi This was the dish that swept away my fishy-smell worries first. One bite in, it was clean and mild — "wait, this is way fresher than I expected?" I was surprised. The more I chewed, the more a subtle, savory meaty flavor came through — that was the charm 🐴 ![Horse meat sashimi on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-13-1em3m-900.webp) ![Close-up of a slice of horse meat sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-14-vuuv8-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of the horse meat sashimi plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-15-ljdho-900.webp) ### 3. Yukhoe (raw horse meat tartare) With more seasoning added than the sashimi, the flavor was noticeably sharper. It was soft to chew, and interestingly, the distinct horse meat aroma lingered slightly at the end. It tasted like it calls for a drink — I think the adults would love it too. ![Seasoned horse meat yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-16-fqge6-900.webp) ![Picking up a piece of horse meat yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-17-vrwd2-900.webp) ### 4. Horse meat sushi With rice and meat combined in a bite-size piece, this felt like the easiest entry point for someone trying horse meat for the first time. The mild meat and rice combo was clean. Next came makkas, braised ribs, and even egg-topped rice! ### 5. Makkas (horse meat cutlet) Horse meat in cutlet style — crispy outside, mild inside. Thanks to the familiar breading, I think even those new to horse meat, or kids, could eat it comfortably. ![Crispy fried horse meat makkas](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-18-1fpkn-900.webp) ![Cross-section of makkas with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-19-1fcrh-900.webp) ![Makkas placed on the course table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-20-1u24x-900.webp) ### 6. Braised horse ribs Slow-braised, so it's soft and hearty. After eating light, sashimi-like dishes earlier, this was where my stomach felt properly filled. I think this would suit my parents' taste well too. ![Slow-braised horse meat ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-21-rn9k3-900.webp) ### 7. Grilled horse meat And then grilled horse meat! Amid the mildness, the meaty flavor came through much stronger. This was where the real charm of horse meat truly came alive. Eating it with the fat, the flavor really came through even more! ### 8. Horse meat shabu-shabu The finale was a warm shabu-shabu wrap-up! Thin slices of meat lightly cooked were mild and tender. ![Horse meat shabu-shabu closing the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-22-15g4o-900.webp) ## Is the ₩39,000 Joa Course good value? The course finished up hearty and satisfying, and I couldn't help but say "that was a good meal." Honestly, with course meals you brace yourself thinking "this is probably going to cost a fair bit," right? But considering the eight dishes served in sequence, the value was really good. If I'd ordered each dish separately, it would have felt a lot more expensive. Just note that prices and the lineup may change depending on when you visit, so it's worth checking before you go! ![Table after finishing the Joa Course](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-23-7vgy4-900.webp) ![Closing photo at Marijoa Seogwipo Jungmun Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course-24-x5izz-900.webp) ## Why Marijoa works for a meal with parents While eating, I kept thinking of my parents. The atmosphere is great for family visits, so next time I definitely want to bring the older folks along. Since the course lets you try a little bit of everything, it seems like a good fit for a family with different tastes eating together. On my next visit, I'll bring back a review of how my parents liked it. 😊 ## Where it is - Marijoa Seogwipo Jungmun Branch (마리조아 서귀포중문점) - 215 Ieodo-ro, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea - 제주특별자치도 서귀포시 이어도로 215 마리조아 서귀포중문점 - 33.2415949, 126.4430932 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%88%EB%A6%AC%EC%A1%B0%EC%95%84%20%EC%84%9C%EA%B7%80%ED%8F%AC%EC%A4%91%EB%AC%B8%EC%A0%90/@33.2415949,126.4430932,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jeju-stone-wall-table/seogwipo-jungmun-horse-meat-family-course/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
