Ramen piled with seafood shipped straight from Jeju — Incheon’s ‘Badaap Ramyeonjip’

At Incheon’s Badaap Ramyeonjip, you can enjoy a generous bowl of seafood ramen while gazing at the sea. The sweeping ocean view pairs perfectly with bowls loaded with blue crab, octopus, abalone, and mussels. The standout is the octopus ramen, topped with a whole octopus leg and a large crab. The spicy broth is bright and bracing, balanced by the clean flavors of fresh seafood — ideal for a hangover cure or a comforting meal. Add the soy-sauce kimbap, available a la carte or in a set, for a satisfying combo. When the weather’s nice, outdoor seating lets you savor the sea breeze with every bite.

All the oceanview vibes — Busan’s ‘Gohyangeonhwa’

Gohyangeonhwa in Busan is all about repeat visits — it’s built to welcome families and locals with a relaxed, casual-dining vibe. The menu highlights include a pork cutlet aged over 400 hours and an abalone risotto made with Wando abalone. They use top-grade domestic pork and skip any premixed batters, breading the cutlet by hand with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs for a tender, flavorful result. The abalone risotto features same-day Wando abalone and a special seasoning made from abalone innards and kelp, giving it a deep, memorable umami that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Pizza, beer, and Anmok Beach views — Gangneung’s ‘P&BCO’

P&BCO overlooks Anmok Beach and is the place to go for pizza and a cold beer with a view. Their pizzas have a thin, slightly chewy crust loaded with toppings — think cheesy rose (cream-tomato) with shrimp, bacon, and garlic; bulgogi piled high with marinated beef; or a generous pepperoni. You can mix flavors with half-and-half or quarter pizzas to sample more in one visit. The combo of crisp, chewy crust and hefty toppings makes this a legit pizza spot worth seeking out.

Five generations of traditional braised cutlassfish — Yeosu’s ‘Yeosu Bapsang Galchiya’

Yeosu Bapsang Galchiya serves hearty, home-style meals and specializes in braised cutlassfish prepared the traditional way for five generations. They use natural seasonings and house-made stock, and the restaurant is beloved for both its food and the ocean views that make it a true spot for relaxation. The braised cutlassfish is made with a sauce aged for two weeks and a stock simmered over a wood fire for more than 12 hours, yielding a sweet, savory umami without overpowering heat. They source top-quality cutlassfish through the Yeosu Fisheries Cooperative auction, so each fillet is thick and meaty.

Perfect, right-on-the-water views — Geoje’s ‘Yeogiro Gajo’

Yeogiro Gajo on Geoje is all about soaking up the fresh sea air. Their signature set pairs cockle bibim-guksu (spicy mixed cold noodles) with a whole barbecue chicken and a whole squid — available for two, three, or four people. The owner’s special sauce gives the noodles punchy flavor and an impressive look. The signature presentation starts with a dry-ice flourish, and the plate lands with a big whole squid, a whole barbecue chicken, and vibrant bibim-guksu. The squid is tender and pleasantly chewy, the cockles are plump, and the tangy-spicy noodles plus the juicy chicken deliver a lineup of textures and flavors in one memorable meal.
