- Donsadon Jeju: Donsadon Jeju is known for their super thick black pork. I haven’t tried it but many of my friends did rave about this place. Donsadon usually have a huge line, so be prepared to wait on line.
- Suksungdo : Unlike other Jeju island black porks, Suksungdo cure they meat. Because of their unique approach, it is one of the hottest restaurant among genz and Millennials in Jeju island right now. Also be expected to wait at least an hour or two to get seated.
- Delicious Black Pork : Delicious Black Pork is known for the local restaurant due to close proximity of city hall. But because it was on the Ctrip Gourmet List (Chinese version of Michelin), a lot of Chinese travellers come here, and the waiters can speak some Chinese.
