Editor’s overview
Make abalone the focus of a northeast-coast meal. Myeongjin offers stone-pot rice, porridge and grilled abalone.
Menu and ordering
Order the jeonbok dolsotbap, abalone and its roe cooked into rice in a stone pot - scrape the crust from the bottom and pour in the hot water they give you for a second course. The abalone porridge is the gentler option if you would rather have something soothing.
Jeonbok means abalone, a type of shellfish. Choose porridge for a softer rice dish.

You can walk here if you don’t drive - about a 20 mins walk from the bustop. Well worth the food and view. Didn’t really fancy the stone pot rice, lacks flavour for my taste but the mackerel was great! I reached at 530pm & didn’t have to wait but it got crowded by 630pm.
