When you finish hiking the majestic Seongsan Ilchulbong (성산일출봉) in Jeju Island, there’s only one way to reward yourself: with authentic, high-quality Jeju Black Pork BBQ. Our top recommendation is Curcumin Black Pork (커큐민흑돼지), a restaurant that perfectly caters to tourists with its spacious layout and, most importantly, its delicious, unique meat.
The restaurant is easy to find, which is a huge plus after a long day of sightseeing.
The entrance photo hints at the large scale of the operation, which includes plenty of parking space—a rare luxury in popular Jeju tourist areas.
Step inside, and the interior photo shows a clean, modern, and very spacious dining area.
This atmosphere makes it ideal for large groups or families looking for a comfortable dining experience.
Now, for the main attraction: the meat. This restaurant is famous for treating its high-quality Black Pork with curcumin, which is derived from turmeric and gives the meat a unique, subtle flavor and purported health benefits.
The Black Pork in the refrigerator photo shows the quality and marbling of the meat before it even hits the grill. We ordered the signature Curcumin Salted Pork Neck (목살).
The meat is cut thick and ready for the grill. The real magic happens when it hits the hot plate.
The pork neck grills up perfectly—tender on the inside with a delightful crispness on the outside. The curcumin gives the meat an earthy aroma that enhances the natural sweetness of the Black Pork.
To balance out the meat, they also offer incredible seafood!
The seafood BBQ photo shows you can grill fresh shrimp, abalone, or other seasonal catches right alongside your pork, creating a magnificent surf-and-turf experience.
Finally, the accompanying dishes are exceptional.
The side dishes photo shows a beautiful spread of fresh Banchan—kimchi, seasoned vegetables, and dipping sauces—that perfectly complement the rich pork BBQ.
Curcumin Black Pork is an absolute must-visit near Seongsan Ilchulbong for its high-quality, unique pork, and excellent facilities.
