In short
Pork80 (포크80) Jeju Airport branch is a big, bright Jeju black pork BBQ restaurant in the Nohyeong hotel area of Jeju City, about 10 minutes by car from Jeju Airport. The signature Nanchuk Matdon (Jeju native black pork), 600 g for ₩72,000 (about $51), comes thick-cut, and staff grill the first round for you. Open daily 11:30 to 23:30 (last order 22:30). Great for families; don’t skip the ₩10,000 turban shell seafood stew.
Black pork barbecue is the meal almost every visitor to Jeju has on their list, and there are a lot of places to choose from. On a hot summer day on the island, our family of four (two adults, a 7-year-old and a 4-year-old) went to Pork80, a black pork specialist close to the airport and the big hotels in Jeju City.
Here is what we ate, the house rules for eating the pork (yes, there are rules), current prices, and how much to order if you are feeding a family.

According to the restaurant’s Naver listing it is within walking distance of Jeju Dream Tower, Grand Hyatt Jeju and Maison Glad Jeju, and about 10 minutes from the airport by car, so it works well for a first dinner after landing or a last meal before a flight.

Cold beer first, then the black pork
It was so hot outside that the very first thing I ordered was a cold beer. After the heat of a Jeju summer day it was exactly what I needed. Then we ordered the house signature: Nanchuk Matdon (난축맛돈), Jeju native black pork, 600 g for ₩72,000. In Korea pork is often ordered by the geun (근), which is 600 g, so this is “one geun”.
What we ordered
1. Nanchuk Matdon black pork (난축맛돈, nanchuk matdon)
The pork arrives in very thick pieces, and there is a sign at the table asking you not to cut it any smaller. The idea is that you eat each grilled piece in one big bite. I did exactly that, and the juice that burst out was wonderful. There was no porky smell at all.
Staff grilled the first round for us, and at first I thought it tasted so good because the person grilling was so skilled. As we kept eating, it was clear the meat itself was just that good. They grill green onions and king oyster mushrooms alongside the pork, and wrapping them up together was a real treat.
The table card also suggests a few ways to eat it: try the first piece with just the matcha salt, then with fresh wasabi, then dip the grilled green onion and pork into the anchovy sauce the way locals do.
2. Seconds: another 400 g, grilled ourselves
I honestly thought one geun would be plenty for two adults and two small kids. It vanished, so we ordered another 400 g for ₩48,000, and that disappeared just as fast. We grilled the second round ourselves, and I was a bit worried it wouldn’t taste the same without the expert. No need: when the meat is this good, it is great even when you cook it yourself.
3. Side dishes: marinated crab, green onion salad and kimchi
A big surprise was the spicy marinated crab (양념게장, yangnyeom gejang) served as one of the side dishes. The crab was plump and full of meat, and the sauce was seriously good. One bite and I understood why there is a separate “extra marinated crab” option on the menu.
Lots of BBQ places have stopped serving green onion salad (파절이, pajeori), so I was happy to see it here, and it was full of flavor. We also grilled the kimchi next to the pork; the well-fermented kimchi cuts through the fat, so we never got tired of the meat right up to the last piece.
4. Anchovy sauce in an earthenware pot (멜젓, meljeot)
You can’t really eat Jeju black pork without meljeot, a sauce made from salted anchovies. I was expecting a small saucer, so I was a little taken aback when it came out simmering in a large earthenware pot. I have struggled with the strong, funky smell of meljeot before, so I tried it carefully. Pork80’s version has much less of that funk and a lot more savory depth. Dunk the pork right in; it only makes it better.
5. Turban shell seafood stew (뿔소라 해물뚝배기, ppulsora haemul ttukbaegi)
To finish we ordered the turban shell seafood stew, and this is the one I would tell everyone to order. A huge Jeju turban shell sits right on top, so it looks amazing when it arrives. The broth is salty with seafood and has a mild spicy kick, and the turban shell meat, pulled out of the shell, was chewy and tender. The broth was so refreshing we finished every drop.
Menu and prices
*USD figures are rough estimates at about ₩1,400 to $1. Prices are from Naver Place (menu updated May 2026); the two items marked July menu board are from the menu at our visit and are not on Naver’s list. During the turban shell closed season the stew uses abalone instead. Prices can change.
Tips for visitors
- Don’t cut the pork. The house rule is one thick piece, one bite. The juices are the point.
- Let staff do the first round. Staff grill the first round of Nanchuk Matdon for you. The grilling service is for Nanchuk Matdon only, not the marinated meat.
- Order the seafood stew. At ₩10,000 it is the best value on the table. Rice is extra (₩1,000).
- Allergies: the menu asks you to tell staff in advance if you can’t eat shellfish, cucumber or tofu in the meal dishes.
- Book on Naver if you are a group; the place seats groups of 4 to 30.
- Ordering phrase: “Nanchuk matdon han geun juseyo” (난축맛돈 한 근 주세요) means “600 g of Nanchuk Matdon, please.”
Is it kid-friendly?
We went with our 7-year-old and 4-year-old, and the pork disappeared so fast we had to order more, which says a lot. The dining room is large, so a family table is not a squeeze. Keep in mind the seafood stew has a mild spicy kick and the marinated crab is spicy, so order something milder, like the steamed egg, for little ones who don’t eat spicy food.
My verdict
Pork80 is the kind of Jeju black pork restaurant I’d recommend to anyone arriving on the island: easy to reach from the airport and hotels, thick and juicy pork that tastes great even when you grill it yourself, and side dishes that go well beyond the basics. Order more meat than you think you need, eat each piece in one bite, and save room for the turban shell seafood stew.
