Gaseureum Sikdang, Pyoseon, Jeju: Blood Sausage Soup and Duruchigi

Gaseureum Sikdang (가스름식당) is a small pork restaurant in Gasi-ri, Pyoseon-myeon, on the southeast side of Jeju, serving blood sausage soup, boiled pork and spicy stir-fried pork made with Jeju pork. We had dinner there as a family of four during our Jeju trip in July 2026. The blood sausage soup was not to our taste, and the kids hardly ate it, so we added duruchigi (spicy stir-fried pork) and boiled pork. Overall it was a so-so meal for us.

A village pork restaurant in Pyoseon

Gaseureum Sikdang is in a two-story dark brick building on a narrow lane in Gasi-ri, a village in Pyoseon-myeon, with a pig logo on the sign and a wooden bench outside. Inside, it is simple: wooden tables and benches, and an open kitchen at the back. We went for dinner during our July trip to Jeju.

The menu

The menu is a row of wooden boards on the wall, with prices in thousands of won. A sign next to it says the pork and the momjaban seaweed are from Jeju, and the rice, chili powder and kimchi are Korean. These were the prices when we went:

Mom (몸) is the Jeju word for momjaban (모자반), a brown seaweed that is cooked into Jeju’s pork broth dishes, such as momguk. Here it goes into the sundae soup. The sundae is Jeju-style blood sausage, made with pig’s blood, so it is darker than the glass-noodle sundae common in Seoul.

The sundae soup

We started with the momsundae-guk, the sundae soup. It came in an earthenware bowl, a dark, thick broth topped with chopped green onion, with a bowl of purple rice on the side. The taste reminded us of seonji haejangguk, the ox blood hangover soup, because of the blood sausage in it.

It was not to our taste. We are not used to blood sausage in a soup like this, and our kids hardly ate it. If you like seonji haejangguk or Jeju-style sundae, you may enjoy it more than we did, but for us it was the weakest dish of the night.

Duruchigi and boiled pork

Because the soup did not work for us, we added two more dishes. The duruchigi (두루치기) came on a flat, round iron pan: sliced pork in a thick red sauce with onion and green onion, cooked on the burner at the table, with lettuce for wraps. There was also a plate of seasoned bean sprouts and spicy radish salad, which we mixed into the pan.

We also ordered the boiled pork head meat (머리고기수육), which came as a plate of thick slices of boiled pork. The kids ate more of the duruchigi and boiled pork than of the soup.

Reading the menu boards

  • 두루치기 (duruchigi): pork stir-fried in a red chili sauce, cooked at the table.
  • 수육 (suyuk): boiled, sliced pork. 머리고기 means head meat.
  • 순대 (sundae): sausage; here, Jeju-style blood sausage. 한접시 means one plate, and 백반 means a set meal with rice and side dishes.
  • 몸 (mom): momjaban seaweed, in 몸순대국, the sundae soup.
  • 생고기 / 목살 (saenggogi / moksal): fresh pork and pork neck for grilling.

What we thought

For us this was a so-so meal. Nothing was badly made, but the blood sausage soup was not something our family enjoyed, and the kids did not eat much of it. The duruchigi and boiled pork filled the gap. If you already like blood sausage and Jeju-style soups, this is the kind of place to try them; if you are traveling with children who are picky, order the duruchigi or grilled pork first. I am giving it 3.5 out of 5.

Getting there

The restaurant is at 19 Gasi-ro 565beon-gil in Gasi-ri, Pyoseon-myeon, in the southeast of Jeju, away from the main tourist streets.

Gasi-ri seems to be a small cluster for this kind of food. DiningCode files Gaseureum Sikdang under Pyoseon duruchigi and momguk, tags it as a restaurant where local people eat, and notes that it has high chairs for small children. Its listing also shows pork belly and grilled black pork at 15,000 won, which were not on the wall boards we photographed. Within about 100 m, DiningCode lists three more restaurants in the same category, Gasi Sikdang, Namokdo Sikdang and Myeongmun Sageori Sikdang, all serving duruchigi and momguk. We have not been to those, so I cannot compare them, but if you are in the area for these dishes, there are several places on the same few streets.

For every place we ate at on the same trip, see our Jeju food guide for families.
