About this experience

Private Chef in Dodong is a personalised in-home dining service on Ulleungdo, where a professional chef prepares a multi-course meal using local seafood and island produce. Guests book the chef for a private evening at their accommodation or a designated venue, with the menu tailored to their preferences. The service brings the flavours of the East Sea directly to the table, offering an intimate alternative to restaurant dining.

What to expect

The chef arrives at your Dodong accommodation or chosen venue and sets up a full cooking station, typically for a 2- to 3-hour dining session
Each menu is built around the day's catch from Ulleungdo's ports, including squid, abalone, and sea urchin, with seasonal vegetables from island farms
The service includes grocery shopping, meal preparation, cooking, plating, and post-meal cleanup, so you only handle eating and conversation
You watch the chef work at close range, with an open kitchen setup that lets you ask questions about local ingredients and cooking techniques
Suitable for couples, small family groups, or up to six guests, with vegetarian or low-allergen adaptations available upon advance request
The meal concludes with a handwritten menu card and a brief explanation of each dish's origin, tying each course to Ulleungdo's fishing heritage
