"Great place to try the Jeju speciality cutlass fish. Very delicate and tender fish, the staff will prepare it and remove the main bones for you, but you still need to be careful as there may be some bones that remains. Sides also very tasty!
Check out my food Instagram @erinxeats for more!"

"One of our most memorable meals in jeju! Was looking for this long fish dish and tried other places but this was the best to us. The meat was nicely salted and the service was great. The side dishes were also super plentiful and delicious with many refillable ones like the seaweed soup. Overall, really recommend a trip here."
