The story
Right by the airport, Sun Okine Myungga (순옥이네명가) in Jeju City is a seafood spot that Mark Wiens calls a “fantastic” stop for “incredibly fresh daily catch.” The restaurant keeps things straightforward, letting the ocean do the talking.
Wiens singles out two standouts from the menu: the abalone hot stew, rich and comforting, and the icy mulhoe (물회), a cold raw-fish soup that cuts through Jeju’s humidity. Both dishes, he notes, are “outstanding” — a clear signal this local joint delivers on its fresh-seafood promise without any fuss.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
“This is an icy, cold soup full of fresh seafood, especially abalone and sea cucumber. It's like a slushy consistency with a sour and sweet taste, nice acidity, refreshing crunch of cucumbers, and a licoricey flavor from perilla leaves. The raw abalone has a cartilagey crunch and natural sweetness. There are also noodles you can add. I love this — it's amazing.”

A fantastic seafood restaurant right by the airport serving incredibly fresh daily catch — the abalone hot stew and the icy mulhoe are both outstanding.
Dishes mentioned
Abalone Hot Stew
This is a hot stew with abalone, shellfish, clams, even crab, mushrooms, and vegetables in a seafood broth. The abalone has a sweetness and a spongy texture that absorbed all the broth — it's a perfect chewiness, not rubbery at all. The broth has a nice saltiness and a fermented bean sauce complexity. Delicious.
Mulhoe (물회)
This is an icy, cold soup full of fresh seafood, especially abalone and sea cucumber. It's like a slushy consistency with a sour and sweet taste, nice acidity, refreshing crunch of cucumbers, and a licoricey flavor from perilla leaves. The raw abalone has a cartilagey crunch and natural sweetness. There are also noodles you can add. I love this — it's amazing.
