Bada Hana vs Bada Dul
Which Course Fits Your Table?
Gijang · Yeonhwa-ri · Jangssi Haenyeo-jip Signature Comparison
A tidy ₩55,000 table and a generous ₩66,000 table. Behind the ₩11,000 gap sit decisive differences in composition, portion and mood, all unpacked here by party size, budget and preference.
The single most common question from first-time guests at Jangssi Haenyeo-jip is this: "What is the difference between Bada Hana (Sea One) and Bada Dul (Sea Two)?" The names suggest just a size step, but once the plates land on the table, the expressions are visibly different.
Both tables are built on the same ingredients, all approved by the 51-year working haenyeo mother. What changes is composition and portion, which is why party size, budget and the mood you want for the day determine the right answer. This guide lines them up side by side.
Bada Hana vs Bada Dul: Core Comparison Table
| Item | Bada Hana | Bada Dul |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₩55,000 | ₩66,000 |
| Composition keyword | Flatfish + seafood set | 7 sashimi + 2 mak-hoe |
| Best party size | 2 guests | 2 to 3 guests |
| Sashimi lineup | Flatfish-centered | Abalone, sea pineapple, sea cucumber, spoon worm, blanched octopus, live octopus, conch + flatfish & milchi |
| Mood | Tidy, clean table | Generous, varied table |
| As a drinking spread | Light, a glass or two | Long, slow, leisurely |
| With children | Soft flatfish-led, very comfortable | A varied texture experience |
| Best side-menu pairing | Cast-iron abalone porridge, abalone butter sauté | Cast-iron abalone porridge, Haenyeo Set |
Inside a ₩11,000 gap, both the sashimi count and the personality of the table shift dramatically. It is not just a portion bump; the breadth of the experience itself changes.
Bada Hana ₩55,000: When You Want a Composed, Tidy Table
Just as the name "hana" (one) suggests, this is a table that collects the essentials with a clean hand. Soft, gently sweet flatfish takes the lead, with carefully selected seafood arranged alongside to round it out. Perfect for first-time guests who might find a long lineup intimidating, or couples who simply want a light sashimi moment.
Bada Hana is the right call when
- You are on a 2-person date or small meet-up and want a comfortable price
- You are new to sashimi and want a flatfish-led, easy entry
- You want a light lunch table and plan to walk the coast afterward
- You want headroom to add a cast-iron abalone porridge or butter sauté later
For international guests who are still getting used to sashimi or families dining with children, Bada Hana is the safer first recommendation. With flatfish at the center, the texture is soft and the flavor is familiar, lowering the threshold for a first visit considerably.
Bada Dul ₩66,000: When You Want to Open Up the Whole World of Sashimi
The name "dul" (two) comes from the idea that two guests can empty an entire sea-themed table together at the right pace. Abalone, sea pineapple, sea cucumber, spoon worm, blanched octopus, live octopus, conch as seven sashimi varieties, plus flatfish and longfin mullet (milchi) as two mak-hoe, the full lineup of Korea's sashimi culture in a single sitting.
Bada Dul is the right call when
- You are 2 to 3 guests who want to explore a wide sashimi range
- You plan to sit long and slow with drinks
- You are an international guest who wants Korean sashimi culture on one table
- You want to try the more distinctive cuts like sea pineapple, spoon worm and live octopus
- You came all the way to Gijang and want the full table experience
If Bada Hana is "a comfortable introduction," Bada Dul is closer to "a small adventure that unfolds on a single table." Starting with flatfish, passing through the sweetness of abalone, meeting the deep aroma of sea pineapple, then being startled by the spring of live octopus, every slice rewrites its expression.

Side Menus That Round Out the Course
Cast-iron Abalone Porridge ₩12,000 per person (from 2 guests)
When the sashimi needs a warm closer. A rich bowl simmered to the 51-year mother's recipe finishes the meal cleanly.
Abalone Butter Sauté ₩32,000
Sautéed in the kitchen, the abalone flesh and viscera together make a deep, buttery pairing. As a drinking-side dish it lifts the whole table a notch. Kids love it too.
Haenyeo Set ₩35,000
Seaweed bibimbap with hand-cut noodles, served as a hearty meal of its own. Ideal for guests who want rice first, or families dining with children or older relatives.
Both Courses Pass Through the Same 51-Year Standard
We do not lower the ingredient bar because the price is lower. Whether the order is Bada Hana or Bada Dul, the seafood that reaches the tank is drawn first from what the haenyeo mother gathers herself, with the remainder topped up from suppliers approved under her 51-year standard. The morning tank check has not been skipped a single day since the restaurant opened.
As her son joined the operation, Mother's standards were turned into a documented routine. Tool hygiene, tank temperature and prep flow are audited weekly. Whether the bill reads ₩55,000 or ₩66,000, the density of craft in every slice is the same.
