Chinese Cuisine Gem: Ryosin

Ryosin, a newly opened restaurant, is run by a chef with 15 years of experience working both domestically and internationally. Its main dishes include Dongpo Pork and Black Pork Sweet and Sour Pork. The interior exudes a Chinese cultural vibe, making it a great spot for family dinners or group gatherings. The spicy seafood noodle soup (Jjamppong) I tried had a rich smoky flavor, and I would recommend this place to those looking for a good dining spot near Jeju City Hall. Before the Dongpo Pork and Jjamppong were served, I ordered Yantai Kaoliang liquor, and the owner kindly offered a complimentary black bean sauce. The sauce had a balanced flavor, not overly salty, and could be customized with chili powder available at the table. My honest review of the black bean sauce paired with Jjamppong is that the flavors were mild and not overpowering, making it suitable even for children. Ryosin is a great choice for those craving Chinese cuisine during dinner hours in Jeju's Ido-dong area. The menu displayed at the entrance includes dishes like Jjamppong Soup, Black Pork Sweet and Sour Pork, Stir-fried Eggplant, Kung Pao Chicken, Chili Shrimp, Kung Pao Shrimp, Stir-fried Chili Beef, Dongpo Pork, and more. Alcohol options include soju, beer, highballs, Yantai Kaoliang liquor, Gongfu liquor, and Hongxing Erguotou. The open kitchen allows diners to watch the chefs prepare dishes like Dongpo Pork and Jjamppong, adding an element of entertainment while waiting for the food. Dongpo Pork, a Chinese dish made by braising pork for 16 hours, offers a tender texture and a subtle five-spice aroma. Pairing it with flower buns, sauce, salad, and peanut butter enhances the flavor, and it goes well with the refreshing Yantai Kaoliang liquor. Even my colleague praised the dish. The Beef Jjamppong Rice Bowl we ordered alongside Dongpo Pork was packed with beef brisket and cocktail shrimp, boasting a rich broth. It was served with a ladle and an empty bowl for clean and convenient dining, and the portion was ample for two people.
