📍 한림 옹포, Western Jeju

Hallim Kalguksu Jeju Main Branch photo

This kalguksu restaurant sits along Ongpo Coastal Road in Hallim. Its signature dish is bomal kalguksu, made by grinding in bomal, the top shells found in Jeju waters, giving the broth a thick texture and greenish tint.

It opens from 8 a.m., so many travelers come here for their first meal after landing on an early flight. A common order is to share bomal juk or maesaengi jeon on the side, and a separate bowl of rice is served with the meal.

There are several branches, including the Jeju Airport branch and Hamdeok branch, so if you are heading to the main branch, it is best to check the Hallimhaean-ro address. There is a dedicated parking lot behind the restaurant, making it easy to come by rental car.

Useful tips

  • Waitlist registration is at the rear door by the parking lot, not the front entrance facing the road.
  • If you arrive before 11 a.m., just before lunch, you can usually sit without waiting.
  • The broth is on the rich side, so sharing it with maesaengi jeon gives the meal a good balance.
  • It is a 10-minute drive from Hyeopjae and Geumneung beaches, so it pairs well before or after time in the water.

Frequently asked questions

Does bomal kalguksu taste fishy?

Bomal are sea snails, so the flavor leans more toward seaweed and sesame oil than a fishy seafood smell. If that still feels unfamiliar, you can order gogi-kalguksu made with chicken broth instead.

What other dishes are available besides the signature menu?

nutritious bomal juk (top shell porridge) / gogi guksu / maesaengi badang jeon, etc.
