About 15 minutes from Jeju Airport by bus, Dixie's made an easy first meal of a trip, with a braised pork rice bowl, a mac and chicken bowl and a Big Wave bottled beer. Jazz LPs, orange lighting and creamy mac and cheese make Dixie's a Jeju change of pace from black pork and braised hairtail. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 24 Gwandeok-ro 8-gil, Jeju City — near Gwandeokjeong and Dongmun Market - **From the airport**: About 15 minutes by bus, or 30–40 minutes on foot - **Parking**: Public parking lot right in front of the restaurant; free and open after 8pm on weekdays, and free at any hour on weekends and holidays - **Parking perk**: A service item is offered if you use the public lot before 8pm on weekdays - **Ordering**: Self-ordering on the Tag Hero tablet at each table; cutlery from the self-serve bar - **What we ordered**: Braised pork rice bowl, mac and chicken bowl, Big Wave bottled beer - **Chicken**: Brined for 24 hours, then aged in buttermilk for 12 hours; limited quantity, so it can sell out early - **Burgers**: Available at lunch only *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* A South American restaurant in Jeju?! Dixie's was our first stop on this Jeju trip, and I'm starting this review very satisfied haha~~ ## Where is Dixie's, and where do you park? 15 minutes from Jeju Airport by bus Dixie's is located near Gwandeokjeong and Dongmun Market in Jeju City. We took a bus from the airport, about 15 minutes, though it's also walkable in 30-40 minutes if you'd rather stretch your legs. If you're driving, there's a public parking lot right in front of the restaurant. It's free to come and go on weekdays after 8pm!! Apparently if you park there before 8pm, they'll throw in a little something haha. And on weekends/holidays it's free anytime, no time restrictions haha haha. ## What is Dixie's like inside? Jazz LPs and orange lighting Walk through the arched entrance and suddenly Jeju flips into South America. The jazz music and dim orange lighting made me nostalgic for a South America I've never actually been to, haha. It genuinely felt like I'd stepped onto an overseas trip!! Even the bathroom is totally hip Live jazz spinning off an actual LP record — pure vibes overload ㅠㅠ absolutely insane ![Interior of Dixie's lit with orange lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-01-nld2r-900.webp) ![Inside Dixie's with jazz LP music playing](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-02-8v0ks-900.webp) You order through the Tag Hero self-order tablet at each table. ## Dixie's menu: build-your-own rice bowls and mac bowls ![Dixie's rice bowl menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-03-1061k-900.webp) You can build your own rice bowl from scratch, or if you're clueless like me, just order the recommended combo lol ![Dixie's mac bowl menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-04-l9phw-900.webp) ![Menu board showing Dixie's recommended dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-05-qjg5z-900.webp) ![Menu board with Dixie's chicken menu description](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-06-bfi9t-900.webp) The mac bowl is built on Dixie's signature mac and cheese, topped with your choice of chicken, pork, beef, and more. Chicken is really the star here — brined for 24 hours, then aged in buttermilk for 12 hours. Because of that, it's sold in limited quantities and can run out early, so calling ahead is a good idea!! ![Menu board listing plates and baskets at Dixie's](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-07-zgyut-900.webp) Beyond the bowls there are also plates, baskets, and a fries menu. Burgers are famous here too, but they're lunch-only, so we couldn't try one ㅠㅠ bummer Drinks and alcohol options are pretty varied too. ![Dixie's drink and alcohol menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-08-zkevr-900.webp) We ordered two of the signature rice bowls — braised pork and mac and chicken. And of course, beer was non-negotiable!! Went with a Big Wave bottle for old times' sake. ![Self-serve bar and cutlery at Dixie's](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-09-u6sep-900.webp) You have to grab your own cutlery at the self-serve bar ## The mains and the Big Wave beer arrive at the table ![Big Wave bottled beer on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-10-oube0-900.webp) ![Big Wave beer and glass on a Dixie's table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-11-j7d8y-900.webp) As soon as we ordered, they brought out the Big Wave bottled beer. ![A bowl of Dixie's braised pork rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-12-1weds-1200.webp) ![Braised pork rice bowl piled high with toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-13-1mhue-900.webp) The braised pork rice bowl came out about 5 minutes after ordering. The look of it reminded me of pulled pork haha You can customize everything piece by piece, but this — the braised pork rice bowl — is the most popular recommended dish! Rice on the bottom, topped with meat, lettuce, onion, pickles, jalapeños, tomato, and sauce. While I was busy taking photos, the mac and chicken showed up too! Apparently the chicken is fried fresh to order, so it takes a bit longer. ![Dixie's mac and chicken bowl topped with chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-14-1io08-900.webp) ![Fried chicken and jalapeños over mac and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-15-1ofx1-900.webp) Well-fried chicken sits on rich mac and cheese, finished with hot sauce, jalapeños, and a few pickle slices. The curly, unusually shaped macaroni noodles were interesting. ## How does Dixie's braised pork rice bowl taste? The way to eat the braised pork rice bowl: first, squeeze that bright lime all over it First bite: the braised pork on its own haha. Salty, savory pork flavor filled my mouth. It's completely different from Korean samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly) — exotic, bold flavor! A totally different side of pork haha ![Braised pork rice bowl with lime squeezed over it](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-16-4pe8z-900.webp) ![A spoonful of braised pork lifted from the bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-17-1hcxi-900.webp) Then I took a bite mixed thoroughly with the rice underneath. The rice felt kind of Southeast Asian — long grains, dry and not sticky at all!! Totally different from chewy Korean rice, but honestly it worked really well with the toppings. Maybe because it's South American food, but the seasoning felt bolder than the Korean food I usually eat. The kind of flavor that just pulls the beer down automatically haha. It could've been heavy with just meat, but the vegetables balanced everything out nicely. ![Rice bowl with rice and toppings mixed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-18-88t9a-900.webp) ## Mac and chicken bowl: even the mildest spice level has a kick For the mac and chicken bowl, start with the chicken first!! The crispy fried coating already has its own seasoning baked in. The chicken thigh meat was juicy and tender, which I loved. When you order mac and chicken you can pick a hot sauce spice level — we ordered the mildest, and it still had a slight kick haha. Definitely the kind of flavor that calls for beer lol ![A crispy fried piece of Dixie's chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-19-1v60d-900.webp) ![A piece of fried chicken thigh lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-20-11nob-900.webp) ![Mac and chicken bowl drizzled with hot sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-21-1d1iv-900.webp) I've only ever had mac and cheese with short macaroni, so Dixie's curly noodle version was a fun surprise. Tossed in thick, rich cheese, cooked to a perfectly chewy texture — top-tier lol ![Curly macaroni in thick, rich mac and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-22-13zum-900.webp) It's cheese-drenched enough to feel heavy on its own, but paired with beer and chicken, it's genuinely the best ㅠㅠㅠ ![Mac and cheese served alongside beer on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-23-mpuf5-900.webp) Calories... don't know her.. future me will hit the gym and burn it off.. it's fine, I'm climbing Hallasan tomorrow anyway... scraped the bowl clean lol ![An empty bowl scraped clean at Dixie's](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl-24-1g74p-m-900.webp) Great food, great atmosphere, and friendly service all in one — Dixie's is a genuinely different kind of restaurant near Jeju's Dongmun Market. If you're tired of the usual black pork and braised hairtail, I recommend Dixie's~~! ## Where it is - Dixie's (딕시스) - 24 Gwandeong-ro 8-gil, 1F, Jeju City, Jeju, South Korea - 제주특별자치도 제주시 관덕로8길 24 1층 - 33.5111344, 126.5231037 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%94%95%EC%8B%9C%EC%8A%A4/@33.5111344,126.5231037,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seat-for-supper/jeju-dongmun-market-dixies-rice-bowl/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
