However, in our today’s list of best restaurants in Yeosu, we’ve tried to include a variety of cuisines so that even if you’re allergic to seafood, you’ll still have plenty of options.
Rotary Restaurant
Rotary Restaurant is one of Yeosu’s most popular dining establishments. It serves delectable Korean food and, despite its run-down appearance, is popular with locals and tourists of all ages. The owner and employees are all friendly and welcome each customer wholeheartedly.
The prices are really reasonable, and everything on the menu is well-seasoned. We recommend you try the various kinds of crabs, spicy pork, and octopus.
It is best to arrive early and with plenty of time because there is always a huge line to enter.
Warung Indonesia
Warung Indonesia, as the name implies, serves Indonesian cuisine. The menu is authentic, with the signature dish nasi goreng being a customer favorite. Also, avocado shakes should not be missed.
You will feel quite at home here if you are from Indonesia. The prices are quite low, and the portions offered are similarly reasonable.
Warung Indonesia does not serve alcohol; therefore, if you want to enjoy wonderful Indonesian food without alcohol, this is the place to go.
Maze Sushi Restaurant
This is a family-owned and operated restaurant, and you get to taste some amazing sushi, sashimi, and other seafood here. To ensure that the meal is fresh, the owner catches the fish himself. He and his family are very attentive to the demands of the customers.
The prices are a little higher than other similar establishments, but you get what you pay for. Because the restaurant is so popular, it is best to make a reservation ahead of time.
Singa
Located behind the Yeosu City Hall, this restaurant is a hidden gem for spicy food lovers. The composition of the side dishes is good, and every item seems to be in perfect harmony with one another. The whole place is kept neat and tidy, so you will get a satisfying feel even before eating.
The fried egg, kimchi stew, yukyuk stir fry, and bean sprout soup are all highly recommended. There are refilling options available for rice and fried eggs, so if you’re a foodie, you’ll adore it.
Ilgwang
Ilgwang is particularly popular with travelers who need to catch a train after eating because it is close to the train station. The cuisine, on the other hand, is no less delicious. Almost all popular Korean food is available here, but we recommend tasting the fish dishes. Grilled mackerel, cutlassfish, and flounder are the most well-known. Other popular menu items include Seodaehoe, sushi, and galchi stew.
The environment is welcoming. The costs may appear high at first, but they are well worth it.
Oh, Mae! Butterfly Island Beer
This restaurant has the reputation of serving the best handmade beer in Yeosu, and people mostly go there to taste craft beer. The place is small but comfy, tidy, and relaxing. The lady in charge of everything is quite friendly and welcoming.
If you want to booze and eat and have some light snacks, this restaurant is ideal for you. We recommend you to try golden ale, Strout, sausages, and shrimp tempura here.
It’s worth noting that this eatery is only open on Fridays and Saturdays, so time your visit accordingly.
Roy Spoon

Jeonti Mai Vietnamese Rice Noodles
Jeonti Mai Vietnamese Rice Noodles is one of the best restaurants to go for good Vietnamese food in Yeosu. The restaurant has limited staff as you have to self-order from a machine. However, the process is quite easy and smooth. The bunja and the fried rice are popular options to try.
The restaurant may not be as fancy as some of its counterparts, but given the affordable rates, the service and the food are really nice.

There is no dedicated parking lot here, but you can park in front of the store or in the nearby alley.
Cheonghaejin
For Japanese food lovers, Cheonghaejin is a must-try. The atmosphere is similar to that of a large, cozy private room where you may sit and rest for a long time. The boss and the rest of the staff are all pleasant and helpful. The food is pricey, but they all taste great. We recommend having barley gubli there.
The parking lot is shaded and spacious, so you can easily take your car to dine there.
