Noodle and Rice Restaurant

Noodle and Rice Restaurant sits in Terminal 1’s upstairs food zone

On the domestic side of Jeju International Airport Terminal 1, Noodle and Rice Restaurant lives in the cluster of cheap Korean spots on the upper level. Think fast canteen more than sit-down restaurant. You’ll see it alongside other similar rice and noodle counters that locals hit before short hops to Seoul and Busan.

Pricing runs in the budget range for an airport: expect basic noodle or rice dishes in the ₩7,000–₩12,000 band. That’s usually cheaper than the chains closer to the main gate area in Terminal 1. Portions at these upstairs Korean joints are reported as solid enough to count as a real meal, not just a snack between flights.

Menu boards at places like this in CJU typically lean on staples: hot noodle soups, kimchi fried rice, maybe a katsu or simple bibimbap. Spicier options almost always show a red pepper icon and “매운” on the sign, so you can steer your choice even if you don’t read much Korean. Expect counter ordering, a buzzer or shouted number, and self-service water.

The whole upstairs domestic food area in Terminal 1 tends to open from early morning to late evening, tracking the Jeju–Gimpo and Jeju–Incheon bank of flights between roughly 07:00 and 21:00. If you land late on a night flight, don’t count on the noodle line still being hot; convenience stores downstairs in Terminal 1 usually stay open later.

There’s no reason to trek over from international; this is on the domestic side of Terminal 1 and relies on that steady stream of short-haul passengers. If you’re already checked in for a domestic leg and hungry, ride the escalator up once, scan the boards, and commit quickly so you’re not stuck behind a sudden tour-group rush.
