Jeongiga Ne So Hanmari Gukbap

Jeongiga Ne, a famous restaurant in Seogwipo, Jeju, is well-known for its So Hanmari Gukbap (beef soup), Galbitang (short rib soup), Bomalkalguksu (sea snail noodle soup), and boiled pork slices. Despite not advertising, it has garnered over 1,000 reviews on Naver Maps, making it a must-visit spot for locals in Seogwipo. Located near Jeju World Cup Stadium and Seogwipo E-Mart, the restaurant operates from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM daily, except Wednesdays. Parking is available in front of the restaurant, and if full, you can park in the alley behind the building. The menu features dishes made with carefully prepared broths, including beef bone broth, meat broth, and vegetable broth. Popular choices include So Hanmari Gukbap, Galbitang, Bomalkalguksu, and Sagol Kalguksu (beef bone noodle soup). Boiled pork slices are also available, making for a great pairing with drinks. So Hanmari Gukbap is made with a long-simmered broth and includes beef cuts like chuck, brisket, tongue, flank, and short ribs. It is complemented with ingredients such as mushrooms, taro stems, dried greens, bean sprouts, green onions, glass noodles, chives, and homemade chili oil. Galbitang, on the other hand, is a traditional short rib soup without marrow bones, offering a generous portion and a milder flavor compared to So Hanmari Gukbap, making it suitable for children. Each table is equipped with containers of kimchi and radish kimchi, both made in-house. The kimchi flavor varies; on some visits, it may be spicier, while on others, it has a tangy freshness. The So Hanmari Gukbap, though visually spicy, is not overly hot compared to dishes like the Sundubu Jjigae (soft tofu stew) at Sunflower Restaurant in Jeju City. Its rich and slightly spicy broth is addictive, often leaving visitors wishing for a branch in Jeju City due to its unparalleled taste.
