Jeju Samchun (제주삼춘) Hamdeok Beach Black Pork is a black pork restaurant in Hamdeok Beach, Jeju. Our family of three had the 60,000-won Joka Set, enjoyed tableside grilling and child-friendly amenities, and ordered extra pork neck because our daughter loved it. Verdict: Jeju Samchun was a clean, comfortable choice for a family dinner.
Jeju Boncham Sutbul Galbi is a charcoal-grilled rib restaurant in Nohyeong-dong, Jeju. We had three portions of fresh ribs, doenjang-jjigae, marinated pork ribs, and mul-naengmyeon with a six-year-old while staff grilled everything for us. The sweet, smoky marinated ribs were the clear highlight.
Jejju Seogwipo New Town Branch is a restaurant in Seogwipo, Jeju, serving rice bowls, sushi, and udon for dine-in or takeaway. My husband, child, and I shared two rice-bowl sets and half-and-half salmon sushi. Verdict: a filling but easygoing breakfast stop for a Jeju trip.
Robain Coffee Jeju Jocheon Sinchon Branch is an ocean-view café in Jocheon-eup, Jeju. I enjoyed coffee and a range of teas while relaxing in its individually partitioned seating. A lovely stop for a quiet break while exploring eastern Jeju.
Sikgwa Hamkke Jeju Sanbangsan Branch is a Korean restaurant in Seogwipo, Jeju, near Sanbangsan and Jeju Shinhwa World. A reserved 2-person boneless braised cutlassfish meal costs 45,000 won and comes with plentiful sides, fried cutlassfish, and abalone-and-conch roe rice. Verdict: the spicy, savory sauce and boneless fish made this an especially satisfying breakfast.
Tamra Hansang is a Korean restaurant near Olle Market in Seogwipo, Jeju. On the third night of our trip, we ordered the 80,000-won three-person dombe pork set with assorted sashimi, fried cutlassfish, black pork, and stone-pot rice. A filling and varied dinner after exploring the market.
Kkotdam Sushi is a Japanese restaurant in Jeongsil, Jeju, serving sushi and sashimi. The assorted sushi and mini sashimi came with thick-cut fish, plus shrimp tempura and udon in the sushi set. Kkotdam Sushi was so good I came back, haha.
Theme Park Toon is an indoor interactive character theme park in Jeju, Jeju. We explored character zones, media spaces, and active play areas, then had snacks and made jelly on the second floor. Verdict: a satisfying indoor course where kids can happily stay for a long time.
Oreumak Garden Jungmun Main Branch is a black pork restaurant in Seogwipo, Jeju. After snorkeling at Dorippal Beach, I had stir-fried pork, black pork kimchi stew, and mul naengmyeon for a filling, quickly served lunch. Verdict: a good-value, satisfying stop after a day in the water.
Seongsan Seobiu Udon Donkatsu is a Japanese-style restaurant in Seogwipo, Jeju, serving pork cutlet and udon near Goseong Five-Day Market. We ordered the cheese pork cutlet set, cold bukkake udon, assorted tempura, and inari sushi during a long Jeju trip. The thick, juicy pork loin topped with cheese was the standout.
Marijoa Seogwipo Jungmun Branch is a restaurant in Seogwipo, Jeju, where you can try horse meat as a course. The 39,000-won JOA Course moved from sashimi and yukhoe to makkas, grilled meat, and horse-bone-broth shabu-shabu. Verdict: an approachable first horse-meat meal with especially memorable grilled meat and broth.
Underwater Play Bada Sea Walking is a sea-walking activity in Gimnyeong, Jeju. After a safety video, I put on a helmet, fed fish, and took photos during a 10–15 minute experience that became a completely different kind of Jeju memory from cafés and restaurants. Verdict: a must for anyone wanting to meet fish up close in eastern Jeju!
