Even before planning my trip, I made sure to find some great black pork restaurants in Seongsan.

After comparing various reviews and ratings, I chose a place and finally got to visit it.

I was more than satisfied, so I decided to write this review.

1. Samsujeong Restaurant

Menu: Black Pork Belly (Ogyeopsal) - ₩15,000

Address: 45, Dongnyuam-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, 1st floor

Hours: Daily 11:00 ~ 22:00 (Last Order 20:50)

This restaurant is conveniently located near Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak), Seopjikoji, and Phoenix Island, making it easy to fit into your itinerary.

The advantage was that I could visit without having to set aside extra time while moving between tourist attractions.

The fact that it's a family business running for two generations also added to my trust.

I felt that they were maintaining the taste with the same methods they had built up over a long time.

There was plenty of parking space in front of and around the store, so travelers who brought a car could visit comfortably.

The exterior was rustic yet clean, highlighting the texture of Jeju stone walls, and the interior created a warm atmosphere with a wood tone.

The tables were spaced wide apart, so you could eat without bumping into the next table, and the table sizes were large enough to accommodate family visitors comfortably.

The menu had a variety of black pork cuts, and I ordered a platter to taste a little of each.

The prices were also reasonable for a restaurant in a tourist area.

The fresh vegetables provided as a basic side dish at this Seongsan black pork restaurant seemed freshly washed.

The unique flavors of lettuce and perilla leaves helped to balance the richness of the meat.

The accompanying garlic, peppers, and other sides were also harmonious without being overpowering.

The black pork, placed on the grill, sizzled as soon as it was placed and spread a savory aroma.

Just watching it cook and sizzle made me look forward to the taste.

I picked up and ate a piece of the first cooked meat, and it was browned on the outside but moist on the inside.

The juices flowed subtly as I chewed.

It had a subtle sweetness in its savory flavor, so it wasn't boring.

Black pork can sometimes be tough if not cooked properly, but the meat here maintained its chewy texture until the end.

Thanks to the subtle smoky flavor, the original flavor of the meat was felt more clearly.

The ratio of lean meat to fat was well balanced, so there was no greasiness, and the fatty parts melted smoothly, leaving only a savory taste.

The aftertaste was clean because the oil didn't feel heavy in my mouth.

The enoki mushrooms, grilled together, were fun to tear along the grain, and the unique moistness of the mushrooms went well with the grilled meat.

It absorbed the meat oil moderately, deepening the umami.

The meat itself had a good flavor, so it was enough to just dip it in salt, and dipping it slightly in Mel젓 (fermented anchovy sauce) added a salty umami, making the sweetness in the meat even clearer.

The staff at this Seongsan black pork restaurant replaced the grill at the right time and managed the cooking state so that the meat did not burn, making the meal comfortable.

I was also satisfied with the service.

The meat had fine cuts, so it cooked softly to the core, and the juices burst naturally each time I chewed, making the texture feel more attractive.

The vibrant color and glossy visuals of the Yukhoe (beef tartare) were the first to catch my eye.

When eaten with pear slices, a subtle sweetness came to life, and a drop of sesame oil completed the savory flavor.

It was clean without any gamey smell, and the savory taste lasted for a long time.

The unique sweetness of the fresh meat spread throughout my mouth, and the aftertaste was light.

The basic side dishes, which they said they made themselves, were generally not too strong, so I felt they were a good combination to eat with the meat.

It wasn't too salty, so it went well with rice.

The cucumber kimchi, which was prepared in the self-service corner, had a crunchy texture and a spicy and sour taste.

I could feel the natural moisture of the cucumber as it was.

When I put the meat and cucumber kimchi together on a lettuce wrap and ate it in one bite,

The different textures harmonized and it was a combination that made me want to eat more.

The Mul-Naengmyeon (cold noodles in chilled broth) I ordered as a side dish came with the broth in a slushy state, so I could feel the coolness.

It wasn't too strong, but the sour taste was alive, so it felt like it cleansed my mouth after eating meat.

The noodles maintained a chewy texture and did not become soggy, and it harmonized with the savory broth, making it feel like a good combination to eat with meat.

The quality and texture of the meat, the composition of the side dishes, and the service were all well-balanced at this Seongsan black pork restaurant.

2. Sunflower Snack Bar (해바라기분식)

Menu: Tuna Stew (참치찌개) - ₩10,000

Address: 13, Gwandong-ro 13-gil, Jeju-si, Jeju-do

Hours: 11:00 - 21:00

I went there to eat tuna stew that wasn't too spicy but still had a kick.

I also ate Sundubu-tang (soft tofu stew), which was spicy and refreshing, and the soft tofu was charming.

3. Gasiabang Noodles (가시아방국수)

Menu: Dombe Pork (돔베고기) - ₩33,000

Address: 10, Seopjikoji-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do

Hours: 10:00 ~ 20:30 (Last Order 19:50), Closed every Wednesday

The noodles, with their rich broth that was savory and refreshing, were very popular.

The noodles were chewy, and the pork noodles were savory and rich in flavor.
