This restaurant, located in front of the Daejeong Fifth-day Market, specializes in noodle soup with top shells.
Their only dish is noodle soup with top shells, which boasts the deep natural flavor of top shells, a type of sea snail. This soup is a traditional meal in Jeju, and is said to have originated from the noodle soup that the haenyeo (women divers) cooked during their free time. They collected top shells from rocks on the seashore, removed their flesh, and simmered them, and then added the noodles to complete the soup.
This already popular restaurant became even more so after appearing on “Wednesday Food Talk” (Ep. 20, Jeju Food, June 10, 2016). As it is full of customers from the time it opens at 11:00, putting your name on the waiting list is common. Fortunately, the restaurant has a high customer turnover, so if you take a look around the Daejeong Fifth-day Market, you will notice that your turn comes soon. However, you must go early since the restaurant may close even at 14:00 if they run out of ingredients.
Their noodle soup with top shells dish has a hearty amount of green broth with the rich flavor of top shells, and thick noodles. Slices of fried tofu on top are an excellent choice. The pieces of fried tofu carrying the rich broth are sweet and tender. A tip to make your noodle soup tastier is to add a spoonful of minced chili pepper. Those who enjoy spicy food will be totally satisfied.
As the restaurant is near the port, a lot of visitors going to Marado Island and Gapado Island stop by. The nearby public parking lot allows a pleasant visit by car. In addition, after finishing your meal, you should try the flavorful buckwheat crepes with sunflower seeds sold on one side of the restaurant.
2016 KOREAT JEJU TOP 10 judges’ comment: This place serves the best noodle soup with top shells that I’ve ever had. A perfect dish that combines the time, effort, and Jeju’s sea. There is harmony between the broth with a strong sea scent and the chewy handmade noodles.
