Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market

I love markets and will always try to visit whenever I travel. There are plenty of souvenirs, food, seafood, snacks to be found here. The market is vibrant and colorful. We enjoyed the tangerine mochi that many stalls are offering. We bought some snacks to bring home. The apple mango was in season and it’s the best mango I had, so juicy and sweet and without fiber. It’s really expensive though.

It’s a “okay” local/tourist market, not really worth to pay a visit to be honest. They mainly sell souvenir gift set, fruits, dry fish, vegetable and some “street food”. As a tourist if I purposely to a place, I would expect a little bit more. But since I’m with young child and my mother, they’re not a scenery type of traveler and also time we’re very limited as we travel by cruise line, So we just picked a close local market and expect to do some snacking of street food and can do a little bit of shopping. The food there looks nice, but you can tell because of the number of people there they aren’t that fresh. As a souvenir if your next step allows you to bring along fruit, I think they have very nice orange there grow in Jeju. But too bad we were not in the season so we can only get the juice. It’s all right, but not a must visit. I think there is a bigger one on the northern side and scenery is awesome even on a simple road side. Should have gone to some famous scenery instead.

such a great place to discover endless variantion of sea food. We loves it here. You could stay there forever and try all the sweet and savory items!

Busy local market . During the day its local produce market, at night it turns into a food market with lots of food outlets. There is a seating area that sells drinks and beer on tap adjacent to the restroom . Most of the vendors take cards , but some of the older vendors only take cash. Perfect place to buy a good local cheap meal.

This bustling market in Seogwipo City is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the vibrant culture and delicious food of Jeju Island. We had an amazing time exploring the vibrant stalls and sampling all sorts of unique and delicious treats. Here's a closer look at some of our favorites: Jesong Bakery: This bakery was a real gem! We couldn't resist the allure of their freshly baked goods, especially the scallion and lemon garlic bread. It was soft, flavorful, and only 4,000 won! Kitty especially loved it. Ddangkongmandu: This stall specializes in peanut dumplings, which are a local specialty. We couldn't resist trying them! The peanut filling was creamy and flavorful. The real star was the wrapper itself, a unique blend of peanuts and black pork that added an extra layer of flavor and texture to the dumpling. We originally planned to order a set of four, but the owner was kind enough to sell us just two for 4,000 won (the set of four was 7,000 won). A great deal. Red Lobster Cheese Grill: This street food vendor offers a dramatic and fun dining experience. The vendor uses a blowtorch to cook the lobster, adding cheese on top. It's a fun presentation! Kitty loved the lobster cooked with a blowtorch and cheese, but I found the flavor a normal. Chansil Cheju: This fruit stall caught our eye because Kitty was craving Mandarin oranges. We bought a large one for 10,000 won, but sadly forgot it in our hotel fridge. We did get to try a sample, though, and Kitty loved it. Joeksim: This Japanese-style grill restaurant is a must-try for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic meal. They have a great selection of grilled dishes, including the Beef (Wagyu) Hamburg & Tcukune, the Tcukune (Beef Wagyu Hamburg), the Pickled Tomato Basil with Cream Cheese, the Shiitake Mushrooms, and the Green Onions. They also offer a great selection of drinks, including Kirin brand of beer that we enjoyed. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food. The staff was friendly and helpful, even though the restaurant was packed. Negeori Hotdog: This stall was so popular, with a long queue. We decided to join the fun. The staff recommended the abalone hodoek, which was delicious. We were happy we decided to wait in line for it. Overall, the Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the vibrant culture and delicious food of Jeju Island. It's a great place to wander, try new things, and find unique souvenirs. We highly recommend this market to anyone visiting Seogwipo City.

Very nice market to visit. Whilst there are clearly tourist oriented shops for gifts and souvenirs, there are numerous food stalls and small eateries that offer very local Jeju offerings.

We went at around 10am to 11am and there were only a few stalls open (this could be our mistake for going too early but it was reported to open at 9am). The market isn’t big and can be completed within 1 hour. More of a wet market but there were a few stalls selling hallabong merch.

Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market is a must-visit place in Jeju Island. It is a very big traditional market that is open everyday. The best time to visit is in the evening when it is the busiest. There are many stalls selling vegetables, meat, fish, seafood, souvenirs, gift packs and fruits including the famous Jeju Hallabong oranges. However, most visitors come here to enjoy the various types of Korean street foods and snacks. Long queue of customers can be seen at the popular food stalls like the ones selling black pork rolls and raw fish slices.
