If you’re looking for the best Jeju shellfish grill, start here

Whether you’re a visitor or a local, there are days when all you want is a bubbling shellfish hot pot loaded with fresh seafood and deep, savory broth, or shellfish sizzling over a hot grill.
When that craving hits, I’d absolutely recommend Oasis Jogae Jeju Yeondong in Sinjeju, close to Jeju Airport.

It keeps showing up on every best Jeju shellfish grill list lately, so I had to go see for myself—and here’s my honest review.

A spotless new space: Oasis Jogae Jeju Yeondong has that fresh-opened feel

Even before stepping inside, the live seafood tanks and the display models of the menu items immediately catch your eye.
Even if you’re waiting for a table, it feels like peeking into a tiny version of the Jeju sea, so there’s really no time to get bored.

Inside, everything from the decor to the little details feels neat and polished, with that crisp, refreshing atmosphere you only get from a newly opened restaurant.

If you’re planning a Jeju family trip or looking for a family-friendly place to eat in Jeju, they also have high chairs and kids’ utensils ready.

There’s also a self-serve bar for basic side dishes, which made the whole meal feel even more convenient.
Walking around the restaurant, I kept thinking how thoughtful every little detail was—Oasis Jogae really gets what makes a great Jeju seafood restaurant.

So many shellfish dishes that choosing what to eat is the hardest part

Honestly, this made me realize I’ve gotten older.
Back in the day, when I thought of Jeju seafood, I only thought of sashimi, grilled shellfish, or steamed shellfish.

But now, at a good Jeju seafood restaurant, the menu is so packed with options that deciding what to order takes real effort.

There’s premium grilled shellfish and the giant pen shell samhap
plus shellfish hot pot, and even mulhoe with cheese fondue, abalone, and sea snail.

There were so many tempting dishes that it actually took us a while to order.

After a lot of back and forth, we went with the shellfish hot pot—a bowl that really feels like Jeju sea on the table.

In the end, we ordered the small shellfish hot pot for $43.
After we placed the order, the side dishes came out first, and then a huge metal pan arrived—and honestly, I was stunned.

It was piled high with abalone, scallops, shrimp, octopus, wood ear mushrooms, fish cake skewers, and more, and it instantly made my mouth water.
If any dish deserves to be called a bowl of Jeju sea, it’s this shellfish hot pot.

The spread was generous, and even the small size felt like more than enough for two people.

The abalone and octopus were unbelievably fresh

At most shellfish places, the abalone usually just sits there without much movement.
But at Oasis Jogae Jeju Yeondong, you can tell they really care about ingredients—the abalone was still wriggling, and that level of freshness honestly stayed in my mind.

It really made me think: there’s a reason places earn a reputation as the best Jeju shellfish grill spots—the ingredient quality and freshness matter.

Give your food 10 minutes.

While the shellfish hot pot is boiling, the smell is so good that you’ll want to dive in immediately.
But sadly, you can’t eat it right away.
Trust me—give your food just 10 minutes.
Then you’ll really get to taste the Jeju sea.

How to enjoy it while you wait those 10 minutes

At Oasis Jogae Jeju Yeondong, they give you clear instructions on how to enjoy the shellfish hot pot or grilled shellfish at their best.
So while you wait, you’re not bored—you’re basically getting ready for the feast.
Here’s how they recommend eating it:

– Ingredients that get tough if overcooked, like octopus and giant pen shell, are best taken out and eaten first.
– Melt and stir the cheese in the stone pot well, then dip the seafood in like fondue for an extra rich, savory bite.
– Once you’ve eaten a good amount of shellfish, ask for extra broth and add kalguksu noodles.
(Extra kalguksu is $2 per serving.)
– The shellfish hot pot gets saltier as it boils down, so it’s best to refill the broth now and then to keep the flavor balanced.
– If a shell is still closed, don’t force it open—ask a staff member to check it for safety.

You can also add Korean beef brisket and enjoy it almost like shabu-shabu.
And yes, you can even finish with fried rice in the remaining broth.
I loved that they even explain these little tips—Oasis Jogae Yeondong really stands out as one of the best Jeju shellfish grill spots.

Time to really dig in

Once you wait the full 10 minutes, the timer goes off.
That timer somehow becomes the most welcome sound in the world.
As soon as it rang, we followed the instructions and started cutting up the ingredients that could turn chewy.

Springy octopus and chewy, tender abalone
and thick, juicy giant pen shell adductor that looked perfectly cooked
went straight into the cho-gochujang, that sweet-tangy Korean red chili dipping sauce.

Dipped in cho-gochujang, the texture was bouncy and tender, almost melting as I chewed.
On top of that, there was that subtle natural sweetness you only get from really fresh seafood, which made it feel like a full, satisfying meal.

But eating it plain would be a waste, so we also used the stretchy cheese fondue that comes with the shellfish hot pot
and paired the scallops with the cheese for a rich, savory bite that made the seafood feel even more indulgent.

At this point, there was no way to just let the moment pass

We don’t actually drink, but we still took photos with alcohol on the table.
Why? Because the whole place had the vibe of a perfect Jeju late-night spot for drinks.
If you love shellfish hot pot or grilled shellfish, this is exactly the kind of combo that hits every craving.

I could totally imagine taking a bite with an ice-cold beer or a shot of soju
and thinking, yes, this is one of those unforgettable meals you just can’t resist.

So we filled our empty glasses with water and still did a little cheers, just for the mood.

A Jeju shellfish grill spot that tastes like the sea—so of course we added extra scallops

Even the basic seafood and shellfish alone were plump and meaty enough to leave a mountain of shells behind.
But it was so good that we couldn’t stop there, so we immediately added extra scallops for $15.

Every time the scallops cooked, the aroma kept pulling my chopsticks back in.
One bite with cho-gochujang, one with soy sauce, one with cheese fondue—switching it up made one ingredient taste like three different dishes.

Still not ready to end it? Finish with seafood kalguksu

Once you’ve made a dent in the shellfish hot pot, it’s time for the seafood kalguksu finale.
The portion is seriously generous.
It’s much better poured into the shellfish hot pot broth than eaten on its own—that’s when it really shines.
Add a bite of kimchi, and the whole thing wraps up so beautifully that it feels like tasting Jeju sea in noodle form.

Why I’d recommend this Jeju seafood restaurant

The freshness of the seafood and the cleanliness of the restaurant
plus the thoughtful family-friendly touches for guests dining with kids made this feel like a well-rounded Jeju seafood restaurant.

It’s a great place when you want to enjoy grilled shellfish or shellfish hot pot along with a wide variety of seafood all at once.

And since it stays open late, it also works perfectly as a Jeju spot for drinks.
With hours running until 1:00 a.m., it’s an easy pick for dinner plans or a casual night out.

Next time, I’m definitely coming back to try the grilled shellfish and a few more dishes.
