Craving a delicious, energizing meal before your flight from Jeju? Yeonbuk-ro Haemultang near Jeju Airport offers incredible fresh seafood stew and local side dishes.
Are you wondering where to enjoy your final meal near Jeju Airport before catching your flight?
My husband and I recently faced this delightful dilemma while searching for an authentic Ora-dong restaurant conveniently located near the airport, and that's how we discovered this incredible spot.
I've been preparing for pregnancy, and my husband was gearing up for a major project presentation, so we were both feeling a bit drained. We were really craving a restorative, power-packed meal that would re-energize us.
That quest led us to Yeonbuk-ro Haemultang, a fantastic restaurant just about a 15-minute drive from Jeju Airport.

The parking lot is spacious, making it easy for even novice drivers to park.
As we stepped inside, the restaurant was already bustling with customers. Even after we were seated, more people kept streaming in, which confirmed that this place is definitely a well-known culinary gem in Ora-dong.
The menu offered a wide range of options, from Special Seafood Stew to Braised Whole Beltfish. Since our sole purpose was rejuvenation, we opted for the medium-sized Seafood Stew!
Our order was prepared and served surprisingly quickly, which is a huge advantage for travelers whose time is precious.
The seafood stew was incredibly generous, packed with a bountiful assortment of fresh seafood like scallops, crab, sea squirts, shrimp, and abalone.
As we continued to dig in, we discovered even more clams, like mussels and littleneck clams, generously layered at the bottom.
We truly enjoyed an abundance of fresh seafood to our heart's content!
Once the seafood stew broth began to simmer, a staff member came over and expertly prepared all the seafood for us.
And for the grand finale, they added a live octopus into the pot. The freshness was truly impressive!
Personally, I thought the side dishes here were also really excellent.
Beyond the standard radish kimchi and fish cake stir-fry, they also served soy-marinated crab (ganjang gejang) and barley kimchi (bori kimchi).
The barley kimchi had a wonderfully clean and refreshing white kimchi flavor, making it the perfect palate cleanser to enjoy between bites of the rich seafood stew.
The crispy grilled tilefish also played its role as an incredible 'rice thief' (meaning it was so delicious, it made us want to eat more rice).
Perhaps because of the diverse seafood, the broth had an incredibly refreshing feel! It was so well-balanced and had such a deep, rich flavor that we kept spooning it up even after we finished our rice.
