One of the best parts of traveling to Jeju is, of course, the delicious food! This trip to Jeju was especially blessed with great weather, so I really wanted to relax and enjoy the beautiful blue sea. As soon as my friends and I arrived at the airport and dropped off our luggage, the first place we headed to was a highly-rated restaurant. We looked around Jeju city and, around evening, decided to find a place where we could enjoy dinner with a cool sea breeze. We stumbled upon Haesot Jeju Airport Branch, and it was so much better than we expected – I just had to share it with you all! Its convenient location makes it the perfect place to start (or end) your Jeju trip.

I came to Jeju with close friends, and since we were all traveling by rental car, we looked for a convenient place to eat near the airport. Since everyone loves abalone, we did some serious searching and found 'Haesot Jeju Airport Branch'. As soon as I saw the sign, I knew this was the place! It's located on the second floor, and we were hoping for a great ocean view. We weren't disappointed! The panoramic ocean view was so welcoming. It immediately washed away all the travel fatigue, leaving a strong and positive first impression. It felt like we were already creating special memories, enjoying a meal at a Jeju restaurant with such an amazing view.

The Ultimate Value: The 2-4 Person Set

There were three of us, and the 2-4 person value set was really appealing. We wanted to try a variety of dishes at once, and this set was perfect for our needs. It was fun to try a little bit of everything, and the portions were generous and satisfying. I was worried that a Jeju restaurant might be expensive, but I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable price and excellent value.

When we ordered the set menu, the table was filled with dishes made with various Jeju specialties, each with a lovingly prepared presentation. What was especially great about this set was that it included not only the main dishes but also side dishes and meal options, so we didn't need to order anything extra. My friends and I were able to try the dishes we each wanted without any arguments, which made for an enjoyable meal.

Aromatic Goodness Straight from the Gamasot (Traditional Korean Iron Pot): Abalone Stone Pot Rice

The abalone stone pot rice, one of the signature dishes, was truly unforgettable. It was cooked to order in a traditional iron pot, so the rice grains were glistening and had that unique, nutty aroma that tantalized my nose. The moment I opened the lid and saw the steam rising, I felt so happy. The fresh abalone slices on top of the rice made my mouth water.

I mixed the warm stone pot rice with a little soy sauce seasoning, and the delicate savory flavor of the abalone seeped deep into the rice. It was simply superb! After scooping out the rice, you can pour hot water into the pot to make *nurungji* (scorched rice), and this savory *nurungji* is another treat. It was a hearty yet clean taste, and I felt completely energized. The rice alone made for a perfect meal.

A Golden Feast of Buttery Flavors: Grilled Abalone

The grilled abalone included in the set immediately caught my eye. The golden-brown abalone, topped with melting butter, looked so appetizing. It was served fresh off the grill and warm, and the buttery flavor perfectly complemented the freshness of the abalone. Every bite was chewy and satisfying, filling my mouth with happiness.

The grilled abalone at this Jeju restaurant wasn't too chewy or tough; it was perfectly tender and chewy, making it a dish that anyone could enjoy. The salty and savory flavor of the butter enhanced the unique sweetness of the abalone. I think it would be fantastic with beer or a refreshing drink. We ate it with rice, but we just couldn't stop eating it!

The Deep Flavors of the Sea: Abalone Hot Pot

Since it's an abalone specialty restaurant, an abalone hot pot is a must, right? The abalone hot pot, filled with seafood, had a truly deep and refreshing broth. The pot was filled not only with plump abalone but also with a variety of other seafood, so every spoonful of the broth tasted like the fresh sea. It would have been even better on a chilly day, but even on a warm day, it had a refreshing quality that cleared my palate.

It was fun to pick out and eat the ingredients from the pot, and the spicy yet not-too-stimulating broth was perfect for my taste. The broth itself had a deep flavor thanks to the generous amount of abalone, and I think this was the essence of the Jeju restaurant I was looking for. It was so addictive that I wanted to eat an entire bowl of rice with it.

Ocean Views and Friendly Service

Another great thing about this place is the beautiful ocean view. Being located on the second floor, the view of the Jeju sea from the window was truly picturesque. We could hear the soothing sound of the waves throughout our meal, and we even got to see the sunset as we visited around dusk. With such an amazing view and delicious food, our meal wasn't just a meal; it was a special experience.

The staff was also very friendly. They were kind enough to explain the menu when we were having trouble choosing, and they thoughtfully checked to see if we needed anything. Thanks to them, we were able to finish our meal feeling relaxed and happy. This kindness made this place an even more memorable Jeju restaurant.

I think our visit to Haesot Jeju Airport Branch was an excellent choice. I was able to enjoy a variety of abalone dishes with the affordable set, and especially the freshly cooked stone pot rice and flavorful grilled abalone are dishes I'll keep thinking about. Add to that the simple and clean-tasting abalone hot pot, and it was a perfect meal. Enjoying a meal with a beautiful ocean view was as good as any fancy restaurant.

I will definitely visit again on my next trip to Jeju. Especially since it's close to Jeju Airport, it would be perfect to end the trip with a hearty and delicious meal. I highly recommend it to families or groups of friends who want to enjoy a generous serving of authentic Jeju seafood dishes. It's a place where you can enjoy a comfortable atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food.
