Excellent traditional Korean food. Lucky we went in at lunch time to book for dinner. There was a very long queue when we arrived for dinner. When we finished dinner, it was still a long queue.

The biggest plus for this Restaurant is their English menu.

The food was really nice and so many additional stuff for free, as with many Korean restaurants. When we finished our dinner, we were given vouchers for coffee at a shop next door. They had coffee and sold many food and gifts. With the voucher, we also got a discount which was great.

If I return to Jeju, this would be a place I would be happy to...

A very unique restaurant where I got to enjoy grilled cutlassfish for the first time. The grilled fish was fresh, flaky and so delicious.

The whole set also came with braised Jeju cutlassfish which was served with other seafood such as abalone, prawns, clams and octopus. The soup base was spicy but yet has that hint of sweetness to elevate the dish.

The other excellent dish which we tasted was the deep fried octopus. It wasn’t chewy at all and was don’t just right - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

I would highly recommend for anyone to try this at least once while you...
