# Galchiok Hamdeok, Jeju: A Long Pan of Braised Fish and Abalone by Hamdeok Beach

![A long, narrow metal pan of red-sauced stew sits on two portable gas burners, holding a fish, two abalone in their shells with sesame on top, black-shelled shellfish that look like mussels and a bundle of what looks like enoki mushrooms under a sliced red chili, with a steel bowl of rice and a white bowl of soup behind it on a dark red-brown table.](https://quidafoodie.blog/img/galchiok-hamdeok-jeju/galchiok-hamdeok-jeju-03-1440.jpg)
*The pan in January 2022: a fish, two abalone in their shells, what look like mussels and a bundle of enoki mushrooms, in red sauce.*

Galchiok Hamdeok (갈치옥 함덕) is a cutlassfish restaurant in Hamdeok, Jeju City, and its signature dish is **galchi-jorim** (갈치조림), cutlassfish braised in a red sauce. A November 2023 blog post that republishes Jeju City's announcement lists Galchiok among the 280 restaurants the city designated as model restaurants (모범음식점) for 2023 after on-site inspections. Reviewers say Galchiok's second-floor terrace and window seats look out over Hamdeok Beach.

## The long pan of galchi-jorim

The pan in my January 2022 photos is long and narrow and sits over two portable gas burners. It holds a fish, two abalone in their shells with sesame on top, what look like mussels and shrimp, and what looks like a bundle of enoki mushrooms under a sliced red chili. I cannot tell the fish species from the photos. An October 2021 reviewer noted that Galchiok serves its galchi-jorim in an unusually long pot, and an August 2025 reviewer describes a whole cutlassfish braised with abalone, mussels and potato. That 2025 reviewer calls Galchiok's sauce deep in flavor without being harsh.

*A closer look: two abalone in their shells with sesame on top, next to what look like shrimp.*

## Dombae-gogi, seaweed soup and the side-dish bar

Dombae-gogi (돔베고기) is Jeju-style boiled pork sliced on a cutting board and dipped in salt. In my photos, pale slices lie on a rectangular wooden board beside a mound of red seasoning and a pinch of what looks like coarse salt, and a bowl of what looks like seaweed soup (미역국) steams nearby. The October 2021 reviewer says Galchiok's dombae-gogi should be dipped in salt, and the August 2025 reviewer calls it tender with no off smell.

Galchiok's side dishes come from a self-service bar, and both reviewers say you can refill them freely. In my photos they sit in small white angular dishes.

## What the sets include

In an August 2025 review, Galchiok's stew-and-grilled set for four cost ₩139,000 and came with galchi-jorim, grilled cutlassfish (갈치구이), abalone cold soup (전복물회), dombae-gogi, seaweed soup and rice. The same review says Galchiok also sells single dishes. An October 2021 review lists Galchiok's grilled-cutlassfish set for two at ₩59,000 and mentions a set that adds the stew at about ₩100,000. Galchiok's own introduction, reproduced in an August 2024 list post, says the kitchen starts cooking only after guests are seated, even for reservations.

## How to order

| Korean | Reading | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 통갈치조림 하나 주세요. | Tonggalchijorim hana juseyo. | One whole-cutlassfish stew, please. |
| 돔베고기도 같이 주세요. | Dombegogido gachi juseyo. | Dombae-gogi too, please. |
| 반찬은 어디서 가져와요? | Banchaneun eodiseo gajyeowayo? | Where do I get the side dishes? |

The October 2021 reviewer says Galchiok's staff debone the grilled cutlassfish for you, after a pause for photos. The August 2025 reviewer expects weekend waits at Galchiok and suggests calling before you go.
