What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ollae Guksu is lauded for its incredibly flavorful pork noodle soup, featuring a clean yet rich broth and generous portions at a good price. While many praise the taste and value, some diners have noted that the pork itself can be dry and the service is sometimes described as abrupt or unfriendly, with a strict policy against sharing bowls. Despite minor criticisms, it remains a highly recommended spot for an authentic Jeju dining experience, especially for breakfast.
"Our last breakfast in Jeju before heading back to Busan. This popular restaurant has only 1 item on their menu - pork noodle (Guksu). Doesn’t look like much but taste is so clean and rich. Great for a cold morning. Highly recommended! 🍜"

"A breakfast/lunch place serving only one dish - pork noodle soup! (Of course…with tasty kimchi you can only get in South Korea). Very soothing breakfast. My friend had to go back again the next day…."

Restaurants in Jeju-do
This small, unassuming joint in downtown Jeju has only one item on the menu: gogi guksu (a hearty soup of thin wheat noodles, pork broth, and thick slices of pork meat), served with a side of kimchi and a couple of green chili peppers. You can find this local specialty throughout Jeju, but few places do it better. They don't skimp on the pork, and the broth is especially rich and filling.
