Name: Hanggu Sikdang (항구식당) - Harbor Restaurant
Address: Hanggu Sikdang, 64 Hamohanggu-ro, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, South Korea, KR

A straightforward seafood spot near Hamo port in Jeju that specializes in seasonal sashimi, grilled and braised seafood. The dining room is simple and always busy — locals and tourists crowd in because the kitchen uses only that day’s catch for its sashimi. Their signature is thickly sliced bang-eo and hirasu (bushiri) sashimi with a rich, oily flavor; when those aren’t available the soft mackerel sashimi is a satisfying alternative. Stews and braises are made with a confident, slightly spicy seasoning that pairs well with a drink.

Local Tips

•Best known for thick-cut bang-eo and hirasu (bushiri) sashimi — rich, oily slices served simply.

•Simple, bustling interior; sashimi availability depends on that day’s catch so the menu board is often nominal.

•If yellowtail isn’t available, try the mackerel sashimi set—wrap with lettuce and onion salad; braises and stews are great with a glass of soju.
