Andeok, Jeju black pork restaurant: set for two with octopus ramyeon

I saw the pink muhly grass at Manoir Blanc in the morning and then went to a black pork specialty restaurant nearby, Heukdonsibaekdonmyeon, for the full course from grilled meat to pork stew! It's a great spot near Shinhwa World in Jeju, so I highly recommend it to anyone staying there!

Where Heukdonsibaekdonmyeon Shinhwa World Branch is, and where to park

Heukdonsibaekdonmyeon Shinhwa World Branch is on Jungsangan-seoro in Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo, right near Shinhwa World. It's also close to Manoir Blanc, the pink muhly grass garden in Jeju. There's parking right in front of the restaurant, so you can visit comfortably by car.

I was so hungry that I arrived right at opening time and parked right in front of the restaurant.

Black pork, white pork, raw ribs, pork stew, doenjang stew, octopus seafood ramyeon — Heukdonsibaekdonmyeon lets you enjoy the full BBQ course. It even received an 'Excellent' rating from the KCIA in 2022, making it a trusted black pork spot in Seogwipo.

The interior has a slightly pojangmacha (street tent bar) feel, but there are full windows so you can dine while looking out at the beautiful Jeju sky.

The meat basically comes pre-grilled, but there's a grill in the middle of the round, pojangmacha-style tables to keep it warm while you eat.

The menu: why the lunch special set is the best value

Let me show you the Heukdonsibaekdonmyeon menu!

For lunch, there's a great value special: a heukdonsi 2–3 person set and a baekdonmyeon 2–3 person set, plus black pork and white pork by the geun (600g). I really recommend going with a set menu if you can — the value was genuinely excellent.

Other menu items and sides include egg custard, pork stew, and octopus seafood ramyeon, and I heard the glass noodle cucumber salad is their signature dish.

Side dishes, salt mixed with puffed rice, and the hot stone grill

As soon as I ordered the black pork 2-person set, they immediately set out the basic table spread.

Pickled radish, pickled onion, kimchi, perilla leaves, lettuce — all the standard sides for eating pork, neatly set up.

An unusual salt I'd never seen before! Coarse salt mixed with puffed rice — it made the meat taste even nuttier and more delicious.

In the middle of the grill, instead of charcoal briquettes, there was a heated stone...! Since the meat comes pre-grilled, they seem to use the stone to keep it warm. So interesting..!!

The heukdonsi set for two: four cuts from 400g of black pork

Let me show you the heukdonsi 2-person set I ordered! An amazing black pork set for around ₩20,000s per person.

First, 400g of black pork comes out, made up of neck and pork belly. Being able to try both at once is great, but since they grill the skin and back neck separately, it basically felt like trying four different cuts!

The owner pre-grilled everything over charcoal, so from the moment it was served at our table, we could eat right away — so convenient. The neck came out first.

As the owner recommended, I dipped it in salt and meoljeot (fermented anchovy sauce), and sure enough, the springy texture unique to black pork and the juice bursting in my mouth were amazing..👍

Next came the incredibly flavorful back neck — a precious cut, only 4 pieces per order,,

Since it has a lot of fat, the taste is similar to hangjeongsal (pork jowl), but with an even softer texture!

Next up was the samgyeopsal (pork belly, actually five layers here). Since they grill the skin separately, I got to enjoy both skin and belly. I only ordered one menu item but got to enjoy four different cuts — the best👍

Egg custard and pork stew, both included in the set

The egg custard that comes with the set is served in a ttukbaegi (stone pot), so it stays hot for a long time, and it's puffy and looks amazing.

From the moment I scooped it with a spoon, I could feel how soft it was. Unlike typical egg custard, it had a distinctly tender, pudding-like texture.

Tender, moist egg custard. I normally don't eat much egg custard at BBQ restaurants, but this one was so good I scraped the bowl clean.

And then the pork stew included in the set menu! It comes with two bowls of rice too, so it's really great value, right? It even had a ton of meat in it ㅠㅠ

The broth had a slight traditional-style doenjang flavor, so it was really rich and delicious! I heard it's made with Heukdonsibaekdonmyeon's own recipe, and getting to try it as part of the set menu was such a bonus.

What does the signature glass noodle cucumber salad taste like?

Let me introduce the glass noodle cucumber salad, Heukdonsibaekdonmyeon's own signature side dish that I ordered to go with the meat.

It's Chinese glass noodles mixed with cucumber, and the spiciness isn't just simple chili heat — it's got a slightly sharp, tingling spiciness?

The sauce itself is uniquely delicious, and the chewy texture of the glass noodles pairs so well with the crunch of the cucumber. It's also amazing to eat alongside the meat!! I really recommend trying it.

Why we added the octopus seafood ramyeon

Honestly, I was already stuffed just from the set, but the octopus seafood ramyeon looked so delicious... And since it's a signature dish, there was no way I wasn't ordering it.

Blue crab, baby octopus, clams, and mussels — the octopus seafood ramyeon is packed with seafood. The mussels were loaded in generously, and there were about 4–5 baby octopuses..? With so much seafood, the broth was incredibly refreshing too.

The noodles were cooked al dente, exactly the way I like them — so delicious..! The octopus was completely fresh too, and I really recommend this one as well.. (if your stomach has room)

Is the black pork set for two worth it?

Not just a place to grill black pork — this is somewhere you can enjoy the full course from grilled meat to stew. I really recommend Heukdonsibaekdonmyeon! If you're staying at Shinhwa World in Jeju, it's right near your accommodation, so I strongly recommend a lunch visit! The lunch special is such great value, so make sure to try it🩷
