Cat Captain Restaurant Review

copyright ⓒ Kim Jigu All Rights Reserved

I visited Udo Island for the very first time in my life!

Taking the ferry to Udo was incredibly fun, and the Cat Captain Restaurant,

a must-visit spot on Jeju's Udo Island that I explored,

had consistently excellent food,

which made my memories of Udo even more special.

The first dining spot we visited right after arriving on Udo Island was

the Cat Captain Restaurant.

Donkatsu, Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong, and Fried Rice.

There were four of us, and we ordered four different dishes.

The portions were so generous, we even had a little leftover, and the taste was fantastic,

so our satisfaction was really high.

The seasoning was mild overall,

making it a great spot to visit if you're exploring Jeju's Udo Island with a baby.

Let me introduce you right away! =)

The Cat Captain Restaurant I recently visited

is a newly opened, trendy spot in Udo,

and it's already so popular as a must-try Jeju Udo restaurant that it was packed even on a weekday.

You can find it by searching 130-9 Udo Coastal Road, Udo-myeon, Jeju-si

on your navigation system.

Parking was available right in front of the restaurant,

and the spaces were wide, which made it super convenient and pleasant.

Right in front of Cat Captain Restaurant,

no matter where or how you look, it's all ocean views.

Being able to enjoy our meal with such a stunning ocean view

made the dining experience even more delightful! =)

2. Interior Space

The interior space was incredibly neat and clean.

From the moment you step in, there are several 6-person tables

set up with generous spacing, so it looked like

it would be perfectly suitable for accommodating large groups.

What's more, through the full-length windows at the front,

we could still enjoy the stunning ocean view we saw at the entrance,

even while we were dining.

Venturing further inside,

there were enough 4-person tables to easily accommodate 50 people simultaneously.

We arrived right when they opened,

and already the interior was filling up with customers.

3. Menu

Jjajangmyeon + Tangsuyuk ~$12

Fried Rice + Tangsuyuk ~$12

Seafood Jjamppong ~$12

Chicken Jjamppong ~$12

Donkatsu ~$12

Tangsuyuk ~$12

Although they aren't listed on the menu,

you can also order them as individual dishes, not just sets.

And they serve generous portions too! =)

After finishing our meal at Cat Captain Restaurant,

we also got to try Jeju premium sorbet ice cream,

and although it's not in the picture, Jeju fruit drinks as well.

We got to taste them.

4. Review

Just looking at the photos makes your mouth water!

Cat Captain Restaurant, where we had a delicious brunch.

I ordered the Jjajangmyeon + Tangsuyuk, Fried Rice + Tangsuyuk,

along with Seafood Jjamppong and Donkatsu.

Seafood Jjamppong

The Seafood Jjamppong came piled high with seafood, almost like a mountain!

The broth, made with perfectly prepared chili oil, was absolutely incredible.

It wasn't too spicy, overly seasoned, or intensely hot,

so it seems perfect for families with young children

to order as an accompanying dish.

Abalone, various seafood, squid, blue crab, squid, and more –

they didn't hold back, adding a generous amount of seafood.

It made me curious enough to wonder about their other menu item, the Chicken Jjamppong.

As I was leaving, I asked about the Chicken Jjamppong, and they said

that the broth is made by simmering chicken bones and meat for a long time,

and that the broth has no unpleasant odors at all,

being both savory and rich.

Fried Rice + Tangsuyuk

There were many families dining there when I visited,

and if you're with children who can't handle spicy food,

I'd highly recommend the Fried Rice + Tangsuyuk menu.

It contains a generous amount of shrimp,

and the vegetables are finely diced,

so parents with babies can order it

for their children without any worries.

About 5 pieces of glutinous rice tangsuyuk also came with it,

and they were so delicious I couldn't stop eating them.

The Donkatsu individual dish also had a great composition.

They provided several sauces, including salt and wasabi,

which made it enjoyable to switch things up and savor every bite until the end.

It's an original Donkatsu that anyone can deliciously enjoy, regardless of their preferences,

and I really liked that.

Jjajangmyeon

The Jjajangmyeon at Cat Captain Restaurant was brought to us perfectly,

with not a single noodle soggy.

Not only were there plenty of noodles, but also lots of ingredients to enjoy with them,

which even made me think it would be great with rice.

This menu item is also one you can order even if you come with children,

making me feel that it's an excellent Udo restaurant in Jeju

for family visitors.

Chewy Sweet and Sour Pork (Tangsuyuk)

The unforgettable Chewy Sweet and Sour Pork (Tangsuyuk)

It was seriously, incredibly, ridiculously delicious!

So wonderfully chewy and tender!!

And even better, they didn't serve it 'bu-meok' style (with the sauce poured directly over),

—which, as a proud 'jjik-meok' loyalist myself,

meant I got to enjoy every single delicious bite until the very end!

Even though it's a relatively new restaurant on Udo Island (Jeju),

there's definitely a reason why so many people are flocking to it!
