The 48,000-won wedding table set (honryesang) lets you choose two dishes — we picked abalone hotpot and abalone mul-hoe (chilled raw seafood soup) — and comes with butter-grilled abalone, abalone rice and side dishes, all served beside floor-to-ceiling windows with a wide open sea view. Soseom Jeonbok is worth a stop on Udo for a filling abalone meal with the ocean in front of you. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1158 Udohaean-gil, Udo-myeon, Jeju-si, Jeju (329 Yeonpyeong-ri), South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 09:00–20:00 - **Last order**: 18:30 - **What we ordered**: Wedding table set, 48,000 won (choice of 2 dishes) - **Set choices**: Abalone hotpot, abalone and sea urchin seaweed soup, abalone mul-hoe, abalone porridge - **Our picks**: Abalone hotpot, abalone mul-hoe - **Side dishes**: Seasoned bean sprouts, soy-marinated crab, kimchi, abalone innards jeotgal (salted seafood), black pork skewers, abalone rice *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* > A great spot to look at the sea through floor-to-ceiling windows while having a hearty, energy-boosting abalone meal ## Where to find Soseom Jeonbok on the road to Geommeolle Beach Soseom Jeonbok is an abalone restaurant standing alone in a fairly large building on the way to Geommeolle on Udo. The building is big enough that it catches your eye even just passing by. ![Exterior of Soseom Jeonbok's standalone building on the road to Geommeolle, Udo](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-01-9wg5m-900.webp) ![Full view of the Soseom Jeonbok building](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-02-b615u-900.webp) ![Area around the entrance of Soseom Jeonbok on Udo](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-03-1g3dk-900.webp) It's a great spot to stop for a proper meal while wandering around Udo. The ocean view spreading out beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows is amazing ![Udo coastal scenery around Soseom Jeonbok](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-04-505q1-900.webp) ![The sea view from in front of Soseom Jeonbok](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-05-1ekwn-m-900.webp) ## Inside Soseom Jeonbok: floor-to-ceiling windows and the Udo sea view The tables at Soseom Jeonbok are spaced generously so you can eat at ease, and above all, the sea view through the floor-to-ceiling windows was genuinely great. ![Seating with a sea view through Soseom Jeonbok's floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-06-1gfic-900.webp) ![Interior of Soseom Jeonbok's dining hall with widely spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-07-14ld2-900.webp) The wide-open, unobstructed sea view comes right into your eyes and really makes you feel like you're eating a meal on Udo. ## What comes with the 48,000-won wedding table set We ordered the wedding table set for 48,000 won. The set lets you choose 2 dishes, and we picked abalone hotpot and abalone mul-hoe from among abalone hotpot, abalone sea urchin seaweed soup, abalone mul-hoe, and abalone porridge. ![Full spread of Soseom Jeonbok's wedding table set](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-08-1h35w-900.webp) ![Abalone dishes and side dishes in the wedding table set](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-09-1ghdd-900.webp) ### From abalone rice to black pork skewers: the full spread The side dishes are also really generous. Seasoned bean sprouts, soy-marinated crab, kimchi, red abalone innards jeotgal (salted seafood), and even a black pork skewer. Once the skewer arrives, cutting it into bite-size pieces and topping the meat with a bit of the jeotgal is delicious ![Side dishes including black pork skewer and abalone innards jeotgal](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-10-1e9ly-900.webp) ![Black pork skewer plate, sliced and ready to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-11-1vzzr-m-900.webp) And topping the abalone rice with a little of the jeotgal is also really good ![A spoonful of abalone rice topped with abalone innards jeotgal](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-12-11rv2-1200.webp) It's not just eating abalone dishes — rice and side dishes come along too, so it ends up being a pretty hearty meal. ![A full abalone meal with rice and side dishes laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-13-1demh-900.webp) ![Wedding table set placed on a table by the sea-view window](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-14-oaguk-900.webp) Alright, now let's actually dig in. The view is insane, right? ## Abalone hotpot: clean-tasting and savory Soseom Jeonbok's abalone hotpot had a good amount of abalone along with various other seafood packed in. In Jeju, seafood hotpot is a common dish, and for first-timers it might be easier to think of it as a doenjang (soybean paste) soup with seafood in it. ![Abalone hotpot loaded with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-15-360ai-900.webp) ![A close-up of abalone and seafood inside the hotpot](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-16-18jza-900.webp) The savory doenjang base combined with the refreshing flavor coming from the seafood makes it light yet warming to the stomach. ## Abalone mul-hoe: tangy, cold and refreshing Soseom Jeonbok's abalone mul-hoe had a gochujang (chili paste) base. Jeju-style mul-hoe is usually made with a doenjang base, but here — probably because it's aimed at travelers — it's gochujang-based. ![Gochujang-based abalone mul-hoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-17-11auv-900.webp) ![Close-up of a bowl of abalone mul-hoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-18-ahv0e-900.webp) It has that sweet-and-sour, tangy flavor we usually think of when we think of mul-hoe. Definitely a different charm from the abalone hotpot. On a hot day out and about on Udo, I imagine this would go down super refreshingly. ## Butter-grilled abalone: tender, chewy and rich The abalone butter grill that came with the wedding table set — what more is there to say. A gentle buttery aroma with abalone that's soft and chewy in texture. ![Plate of buttery abalone butter grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-19-1nph3-900.webp) ![Close-up of the abalone butter grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-20-sni1a-900.webp) ![Picking up a piece of abalone butter grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-21-1ljrg-m-900.webp) The clean flavor of the abalone itself combined with the rich, nutty butter is a combination that's hard to go wrong with. ### That unexpectedly cute Zero Cola cup While eating, we also ordered a zero-calorie cola, and the cup was so cute I had to snap a photo ![Zero-calorie cola and its cup ordered at Soseom Jeonbok](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-22-180wl-900.webp) ![The cutely designed zero-calorie cola cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-23-12tsz-900.webp) ## Verdict: who should eat at Soseom Jeonbok on Udo Udo's Soseom Jeonbok was a great place to visit when you want to try a variety of abalone dishes. The wedding table set let us enjoy abalone butter grill, abalone hotpot, and abalone mul-hoe all at once, and it came with abalone rice and several side dishes too, making for a pretty filling meal. ![The sea view from the window seat at Soseom Jeonbok after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe-24-m64zc-900.webp) The wide-open sea view through the floor-to-ceiling windows is especially nice, making it a good spot for a break during a trip around Udo. The abalone hotpot was light, refreshing and savory, and the abalone mul-hoe was tangy and bright with its gochujang base. The abalone butter grill was delicious too, with soft, chewy abalone and buttery flavor. Worth a stop if you want a hearty meal of abalone dishes while looking out at the sea on Udo ## Where it is - Soseom Jeonbok (소섬전복) - 1158 Udohaean-gil, Udo-myeon, Jeju-si, Jeju-do (329 Yeonpyeong-ri), South Korea - 제주특별자치도 제주시 우도면 우도해안길 1158 - 33.4988646, 126.9651221 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%8C%EC%84%AC%EC%A0%84%EB%B3%B5/@33.4988646,126.9651221,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@low-lamp-seoul/udo-soseom-abalone-butter-grill-mulhoe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
