General Notes
Excellent KBBQ restaurant in Jeju specializing in black pork. I was recommended Jeju black pork on the plane ride to Seoul; this was my first exposure and I was not disappointed. Honestly, it tastes just like pork. It looks just like pork too, except for the fact that you can see black hair follicles lodged in the skin (the fur protruding out of the skin is shaved, of course). But really, really good pork. I could tell that this was good quality pork. I appreciated that the meat was cooked for us. I also enjoyed the charcoal and thin wire mesh grill, which gave it a nice uniform char. The server cooked the pork perfectly.
Dishes Tasted
- ★★★☆ Soondubu -- We ordered a soondubu on the side, and it was definitely one of the better soondubu that I've had. Notable enough such that I'm mentioning this here. It had a relatively pronounced fermented flavor and was on the sweeter side. The broth was delicious.
