성산 장인의집 — Restaurant in Seogwipo-si

I recently had dinner at 성산 장인의집 in Jeju, a local gem known for its delicious Mandu and soups. The restaurant is run by a renowned local aunty, adding a touch of authenticity and warmth to the experience. The menu is concise but focused, offering a select few items done exceptionally well.

Their handmade Korean dumplings, or Mandu, are a standout. My favorites were the black pork (white) and the kimchi (red). The octopus (black) dumplings are similar to the red ones but include a slice of octopus and are slightly more oily. The abalone (green) dumplings resembled the white ones but lacked a strong abalone flavor. Prices were very reasonable, making it an excellent value for the quality.

The seafood and pot is awesome! The broth is tasty and the seafood is fresh. It is a cosy restaurant with few tables but the atmosphere is just great. Menu is only in Korean but you just need to know if you want to have mushroom pot 15k KRW, seafood pot 25k KRW or the seafood and ribs pot 35k KRW, per person. I went with the 35k and it comes with dumplings and noodles as well. It is too much food for one person but it is so good that I ate up everything. You got to try it if you...
