So excited to be reviewing jeju because I have wanted to visit for so long and finally got a reservation. This was absolutely worth the wait and if you get the chance to go you must! The restaurant wasn't too big but very nice and good service and we sat at the bar which I actually enjoyed, you can't really see the food being made but the bar is pretty. Started off with the toro a MUST get. One of the best bites I've ever had it was unbelievably and close to indescribable. So buttery and just burst in your mouth. The ceviche was bright and summery and citrusy we enjoyed. The wagyu was also out of this world, so soft and the broth was sooo flavorful. Not enough words to describe the luxury of dining here. Truly reminded me of why I love good food. Definitely not inexpensive but for a Michelin star and the quality of food I do think it is worth it and priced lower than comps. I would love to come back at some point, even just for the toro. Add this to your list! read more

Emphasis on Noodle Bar I cannot say how elated I was when I got the reservation for Jeju Noodle Bar. I feel like I've seen it for years on social media and was so excited to come. It's the only noodle bar with a Michelin Star and I can see why the wagyu Ramyun was genuinely one of the best Ramyuns I've ever had. Not too heavy with seasoning but you can tell every ingredient is fresh and very flavorful naturally from all thought put into its base. I would say SKIP the internet viral items. We also got the Toro Ssam Bap and Jeju Fried Chicken. The Fried Chicken was fried excellently but I think the dish in general is just a bit gimmicky? The chicken overpowers the caviar A LOT especially with the sauce on top as well to the point where I don't think either is really needed. And the Toro Ssam bop was really good, it was my friends first time having toro and her life was changed, but as someone who visits many sushi/omakase places I feel like it's a dish that you could also find elsewhere at a similar price. The staff, however, were incredibly friendly above and beyond I dare say. And the ambiance is very moody perfect for a date night. Overall, I would definitely come back but I would say you shouldn't be crying or tearing your hair out at how difficult it is to get a reservation, as I know many people do. read more

My best friend helped make a reservation to Jeju Noodle Bar for our girlfriends' trip because this is one of her restaurants from her anniversary trip to NYC with her husband a couple of years ago. This was our 1st dinner during our NYC trip and it was great! We got a few dishes to share and enjoyed all of them. The service was very good and the restaurant vibe was cozy. read more

Yeah Jeju deserves a Michelin for the entire experience. Reservation was a bit challenging to get so definitely feel like I lucked out. Was seated instantly upon arriving 10 minutes early for our reservation. Massive props to the service throughout our entire duration. When my partner went to the washroom, they instantly came to fold her handkerchief and set it on the table. Spent under $100 per person which I'd say is on the better end for value (though I am no Michelin expert). Toro Ssam Bop - my partner who does not typically like raw fish said this might be her favorite dish (or favorite fish dish). I think that speaks volumes. The toro tuna is rich, fatty, and balanced by all the chosen ingredients which leads to no overly fishy taste. She raved about the "tuna dish" for the rest of the day. Don't skip this specialty that is highly regarded across visitors. Clam & Sea Bream Somyeon - cold thin noodles lie in a bowl that is surrounded by ice, so a fun presentation. While the noodles themselves have a smooth texture and are tasty, I would say the entire dish is too lemony. Even the clams are hard to taste because they're covered in some lemon or lime. The sea bream had a typical fish texture and taste but also had too much sour tang. I'd skip this in the future, but if the lemon flavor were tuned down, the dish has strong potential. Wagyu Ramyun - raw wagyu beef was not in my partners interest but this was one of those top dishes I had to get. Spoiler alert, she loved the small raw beef pieces. Even if the description isn't a perfect match, I feel like JeJu Noodle Bar will work some magic and make it work. The broth here was rich, flavorful, and umami. There's some ground beef pieces for added flavor and the broth can be slightly spicy. Noodles were delicious and soaked up all the flavor too. Highly recommend! read more

One of my favourite meals in New York City was at JeJu Noodle Bar, so I was really happy that I was able to score a reservation here! I ordered the JeJu Fried Chicken (we added an extra piece) and Family Ramyun. The fried chicken came with a creamy and tangy sauce, and the caviar added some umami flavour to each bite. Although the chicken was tender, and the dish was good, I wouldn't get it again. The Family Ramyun, however, was my favourite dish of the night. It was so flavourful and all the components were cooked to perfection. I wanted to get two bowls, but not only would I have been super full, but it also would've broken the bank. It was a great dinner at JeJu Noodle Bar and I'd come again just for the Family Ramyun!!! read more

Hip, swanky interior, friendly service, and upleveled comfort food. That about sums it up for Jeju Noodle Bar. We enjoyed our time there. Everything we tasted was delish; I just wish we had more stomach space to try more dishes! - The fried chicken was really good though I'm not sure the caviar was necessary. - On the other hand, the caviar worked well in the Toro Ssambap! - The wagyu ramyun was good and I'm curious how the lobster myun is. Given the upleveled aspect of the dishes, prices are steep - e.g. $57 for the Toro Ssambap, $34 for the three pieces of fried chicken (which comes with the golden osetra caviar). read more

We were able to snag a reservation and wanted to see what the hype was about. It was so dark we thought it was closed in the beginning. We were seated at the counter and realized wine list is way bigger than the food menu. We got: Fried chicken (3/5): perfectly cooked. Not dry on the inside and batter was nice. Paired with a cream tangy sauce and caviar which was fine.. nothing crazy Toro ssam bap (4/5): we didn't get the uni for the extra $30. Whole concoction tasted good but not special, felt like I could make something like this at home..? Lobster mun (4.5/5): was really tasty. The foam was very lobster and addicting to eat. Noodles were bouncy. Nothing crazy, cool place to hang with friends but not sure if I'd come back for the food read more

We came here for a birthday celebration and had a lovely meal. The interior is fairly dark, but by no means dingy. A pretty small restaurant which adds to the difficulty for getting a reservation. I had the lobster main, which was by the favourite from what we all tasted. Would definitely order a mixture of different dishes but you have to order a noodle dish (it is a noodle bar). We would come back. read more

I went for a later dinner reservation in a group of for four. We were able to share a lot of tasty dishes. The vibe was dark, not too loud so you could talk. My favorite was the Toro Ssam Bap topped with a dollop of caviar and served with crispy seaweed. The fried chicken was a larger than expected serving with a tummy sauce and more caviar and the ribs were succulent. The ramyun has a quite vinegary taste but was fine. The lamb ja jang myun was unexpectedly a favorite with yummy noodles in a lamb ragu. Dessert was fun to share - chocolate ice cream topped with a sweet coating and with truffle shavings on top. Overall service was friendly but they forgot about us towards the end of the dinner. Is it necessary to put caviar and truffle on every second dish? I don't think so but even so the food was good. read more

Maybe bc i heard so many good things about jeju noodle bar my expectations were quite high. I'd def come back for the toro ssam bap and order one for myself!!! Each bite was divine and I genuinely got sad as the dish was being finished. Super flavorful, each bite was literally perfection. Mushroom ramyun was good during the first few bites, but it started to get rlly salty. The lime does help lessen the saltiness, but each bite did seem to progressively get saltier. It came with a lot of mushrooms and different varieties as well which I rlly liked! The thin noodles were also cooked nicely. Lobster ramyun was also rlly delicious during the first few bites, but got progressively got saltier and heavier. The sauce is almost like a bisque, but with a slight kick which I quite enjoyed. Noodles were cooked to perfection, a lil thicker cut, and nice and chewy! The toro ssam bap was definitely the highlight and michelin1 worthy. The other dishes were still delicious but i did find myself continuously drinking water after each bite. Service was ofc excellent and thorough. read more

This was our 2nd time dining at Jeju Noodle Bar and the first time since they received their first Michelin star. We started with the Jeju Fried Chicken, and it set the tone right away. Perfectly cooked, crispy without being oily, and packed with layers of flavor. The caviar might sound extra, but it makes total sense here, adding this salty, savory pop that turns each bite into something special. For noodles, we split paths: I went with the Wagyu Ramyun. Rich, beefy, deeply satisfying, basically comfort food dialed way up. My wife ordered the Gochu Ramyun, which was spicy, soulful, and loaded with pork belly so soft it practically melts on contact. We were very please with our meal and it was better than we remembered. read more

We joined the waitlist on a Friday night and miraculously got seated. A dark lit, intimate dining experience with endless delicious bites and options. Here's what we ordered: Toro Ssambap: 9.8/10 - filled with umami and deep flavor. This was my favorite dish and I would probably be tempted to order this again. Wagyu Ramen: 9/10 - filled with umami and deep flavor and endlessly rich broth. Seriously delicious. Jeju Fried Chicken: 10/10 - the sauce that this came with made this fried chicken probably the best we've ever had. Topping it off with caviar made us completely forget we were having something as "casual" as fried chicken in an upscale restaurant. This is a must order! read more

Very ambitious with the seating reservation. Over the top with the decor. Exceptionally daring with the truffle. I heard good things about the spot and really wanted to like it. Came in without any expectations and left without any of returning. I enjoyed the apps but not so much the noodles. Wish there was another option for dessert because honestly, not everyone likes truffle and definitely not in their ice cream. I would have gotten it just to see why the bold move but the party guests cannot stand the dang thing. Oh, well! Please tone down the incense in the loo, it easily felt like it was the scene in Midsommar. You know which one. read more

Service: 4/5 Food: 4.3/5 Price: $30-$70 A unique blend of an intimate + lively vibes with its dim lights + loud music (although not jarring). Definitely a place to dine with others + most everything is easily shareable. They have a 90 min dining window, however, I think it's only enforced if there's another booked party. Despite the time limit, neither the service nor the pacing felt rushed (server took a while to take our order). Might be a controversial take, but the noodles aren't the highlight of their menu. everything else is more worth ordering. What I Ordered: - Toro Ssam Bap*: lots of elements, good rice to seaweed to toppings ratio, roasted seaweed SO fresh - Fried Chicken Leg*: less Korean-style, more reminiscent of Church's, super crispy breading w/ juicy + tender meat, comes out HOT, sauce + caviar aren't necessary, just good complements - Family Ramyun: flavorful broth without being too rich/salty, love the thinner noodles, lots of meat + toppings, but once split, kinda small + not enough soup - Lamb Ja Jang Myun: so saucy I wanted rice for the leftover sauce, has the noodles of a normal jajangmyun, but the meat of dan dan mian, spiciness builds read more

We came here for our anniversary and quite honestly also using our Resy credit from AMEX platinum. Still pretty hard to get a table, our choices were at 5:15 or 9 PM. We went with a late dinner. We did have to wait 15 to 20 minutes, they did give us some complimentary champagne. We went with the truffle appetizer, great amount of truffle, very nice contrast with Yuzu sweetness, and the sadness of all the mushrooms on top of the scallop, which was a little bit obscured. Then we got the Wagyu Ramen and the lobster mean. Both were incredible, way you was savory, medium, rare, very rich. A very distinct Ramen. The lobster noodles were so good though . It was like a very strong lobster bisque, I wish there were more noodles. It was so rich it made the wagyu Ramen taste almost diluted. Eat the wagyu ramen first if you can read more

My mom and i have been fiending to come here for so long! Decided to take our chances on a friday night and put a name down. Christine and i waited at katana kitten nearby and they called us after like 40 mins. Mom rushed down on the subway and got off at 14th st so she had to switch to the path. I ordered a glass of white wine to keep me company while everybody side eyed me bc they have a STRICT 90 min dining limit.... Which is one of my biggest qualms abt a lot of nyc dining..... But everything was delish! The toro ssambap is great idt u need it in ur life tho, liek 56 dollars is madness luv. Ceviche (think we got amberjack?) was great. Lobster noodles yum VERY savory and heavy u shld share them. I would come back here but i wouldn't like do the mostttt to come back ykwim read more

Michillin Star-worth a visit! My friend who is local, and few of us were walking around the area due to really long line in L'Industry pizza up the street. We tried to do a walk -in for 4 of us for a meal, but that was a fail, basically resy only. So my friend decided to try online after we left. And we lucked up and got a resy for the next night at 8:45pm. We arrived early, but we weren't able to be seated, so we walked around the neighborhood first then came back and were seated. The place is nicely put together, cute bar, and mood lighting all over. Service- was amazing from start to finnish. Meal was nicely timed. Multi servers checked on us. And it was great service overall. Attention to detail for sure. Lots of suggestions given by servers. Food- we shared a few dishes, but each ordered individual entrees. We shared the Toro Ssam with the cavier, was indeed worth it. This is essentially there signature dish, based on the reviews. We also split the ribs, which were fall off the bone tender and yum. And there truffle dish with mushroom was delicious. Then we got the Korean fried chicken with cavier. It was so crispy and fancy. For my main dish I got the lobster pasta. I was so full, but forced myself to eat every bite. It's very rich, but umami for the win. My friend that lives in NYC that I went with, has already been back. I would too, so I don't blame her, lol! Enjoy! read more

Not what I was expecting, but a fascinating take on some Korean classics worthy of their . The Fluke Hwe (광어회) arrived more like a crudo than traditional hwe. I was expecting chojang (초장), but instead it was paired with a subtly tart plum gochujang (고추장) that worked beautifully. The standout was the Lamb Jajang Myeon (염소 짜장면). At first, I was struck by how little gameiness came through in the lamb. Then I found myself chasing a flavor I couldn't quite place, something almost minty. It turned out to be the interplay between the lamb and Sichuan pepper, which gave the dish a surprisingly fresh, aromatic quality. The noodles were perfectly al dente throughout. read more

I've been trying to get a reservation to Jeju Noodle Bar for a while, but it's been tough on Resy. I tried Resy notifications for a recent Friday and Saturday and was offered reservations for both nights (took the Friday), so I think this is the way to go about getting in here. The space is small and cozy; there seemed to be mostly parties of 2-4. Service was great. Food rundown: Toro ssam bap (fatty tuna, scrambled egg, shallots, jalapeño, toasted seaweed, caviar): Yes. This is the dish. If you get one thing here, get this. It's kind of like a make your own sushi project, where you can wrap up the extremely fresh and flavorful tuna, rice, and other ingredients into the little toasted seaweed wraps that you're provided in a separate bowl. All the ingredients just taste so good together, and I think they used sesame oil too, which I always love. Fluke Hwe (fluke, red onion, cucumber, plum gochujang olive oil dongchimi emulsion): this is the one dish that didn't quite work for me. While the fish and veggies were really fresh and I liked the crunchiness of the dish thanks to the cucumber, the fancy-sounding dressing mostly reminded me of an Italian dressing and it overpowered the rest of the dish. Mushroom ramyun (mushrooms, Parmesan foam, lime, chervil, garlic chips, pickled garlic): The mushroomy broth and the parm foam on top make for a real umami bomb. Loved this. Lamb ja jang myun (lamb ragú, black bean sauce, Szechuan, pickled onion, herbs, cucumber): very good. The lamb works really well with the black bean sauce, which tastes like a more pungent soy sauce. It has a gentle spiciness. read more

I'm recreating the sambap dish at home because I'm so sad I can only get this dish when I'm in New York. It's THAT good! Every bite I had to close my eyes and I saw fireworks. I've watched the Michelin star chef talk about this dish and it was really clever how he came up with it. I also grew up eating egg sambap for breakfast and it's so comforting but eating a higher scale version of it was not in my 2025 bingo card. I never knew fried chicken and caviar was a thing but now im obsessed. The crust to meat ratio was on point. The breading had a bonito dashi flavor to it which perfectly paired with the caviar and citrus olive oil aioli. Not to mention the chicken meat was ridiculously juicy. Wagyu ramyun was great but I probably wouldn't order it again. The soup tasted like the cozy $20 Korean soups drenched with overpowering sesame oil. The Wagyu meat melts in your mouth but it definitely gets overcooked if it gets lost in the bowl and you eat it later. The chef did recommend to eat this ramen right as it's served and eat it fast because the texture of the noodles will get compromised Inside is dimly lit and a bit more condensed (not super spacious). Service wasn't great. They took a really long time to come to the table despite trying to get attention. They also had a different energy with certain customers. Our food took an hour to come out even though we had a reservation we made in advance. The food quality was the saving grace. read more

Was super excited about this place because we had a hard time trying to secure a reservation. Once we arrived we were seated right away, the vibe is great with dark lighting. We started with the toro ssam bap and truffle scallop which were both delicious. We also got the fried chicken but did not enjoy it due to the chicken being too bloody in the middle with 2 out of the 3 pieces. We also did the wagyu Ramen and the lobster ramen, both were good but the flavors in the wagyu ramen seemed underwhelming. The service was very slow and only saw our server a few times through our dinner which surprised us. read more

We got 3 Appetizers. The ribs were really tender and falls off the bone. The tuna was excellent with caviar. The fried chicken to me was nothing special. It does come with caviar as well. That would be the one that I would drop. The entrees were definitely not normal noodle dishes. The lamb ja Jang is very herby tasting and a bit sweet. First time tasted ja jang so maybe it is supposed to be sweet. The Gochu Ramen is also very herby tasting. I did not try the Wagyu. The one most closely to a normal ramen is the Family ramen. It is also full of shrimps. Service was excellent and seating is definitely limited. read more

Wow, ok I did not expect to ever say this about a noodle bar, but these were the best ribs I've ever had in my life. I've been lucky enough to try ribs in Texas and I've gotta say that the chefs at Jeju have perfected these ribs. They fell off the bone and were perfectly seasoned. As you can tell by this review, I'm still dreaming about these ribs. We also ordered the lobster myun and the special of the night, the chicken sandwich. These were solid but the star of the show was the ribs. Ambiance was nice and the heat was a nice break from the cold outside! read more

We got lucky with a dinner reservation on Resy about a week prior. We had four people, so we got to share more items. TORO SSSAM BAP $56 - This was just as amazing as I remember it from two years ago. I highly recommend ordering this. JEJU FRIED CHICKEN $32 - This dish is great. It comes with 3 pieces of chicken, dipping sauce, and a small scoop of caviar. I feel like this was standard good fried chicken. JEJU RIBS $34 - There might have been 7-8 ribs in our order. It also came with a couple small dishes of pickled veggies to help counter the greasiness of the ribs. This was good, but I wouldn't order it again. WAGYU RAMYUN $46 - This was just ok. I definitely prefer wagyu grilled, and I also really love Japanese ramen with chashu. This dish didn't stand out to me. LOBSTER MYUN $37 - The foam on this dish was cool. They put the soft boiled egg on the side as to keep the foam foamy. The flavor was so good. I would recommend getting this. For four people, we ordered five dishes and came out to be $75-80 USD per person. This isn't a place I would frequent, but I would recommend others to try when in New York City. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Bathroom (only one stall) available. No Wifi. No outdoor seating. Very dark inside. read more

Been to a few Michelin restaurants and this was by far the worst.... The food itself was okay. Like delicious but also just not on par with other Michelin restaurants I've been too. The caviar+fried chicken was pretty dry and the caviar really didn't add much to the dish. The ramyum wasnt anything special and the lamb jajangmyeon was REALLY salty. The highlight was the tuna salad start and the dessert. BUT the dessert was so expensive... we got a chocolate soft serve with shaved truffles and maple syrup. probably wouldn't have ordered it if we knew the price before hand. Pretty sure it was so expensive because of the truffle. Finally, they were rushing us and had asked us to leave right when we hit the 1.5 hr mark even though we had already paid and were wrapping up. Just not the best experience imo. read more

I came to Jeju Noodle Bar about two years ago, back when reservations were a bit impossible (still is!). I remember loving the food then, a little more than I did this time around. A few staples are still on the menu, like the noodles, while some appetizers seem to change with the season. Toro Ssambap: Fresh tuna and caviar that you mix yourself and scoop onto a little nori sheet. Pretty solid bite. Jeju Fried Chicken: Super crispy, nicely fried, but the flavor just wasn't there. A bit of a letdown. Wagyu Ramen: Generous portion with thin slices of wagyu. The broth was rich and comforting. But $46 for a bowl of ramen is steep. Hard to justify. :/ Overall, it was a good meal. Not amazing, not bad. Maybe I'll give it another shot in a couple years. read more

Pretty underwhelming Michelin starred restaurant. We got the toro ssam bap of course, the wagyu ramen, the lobster myun, the grilled ocean trout, and the donkatsu. No surprise, the toro ssam bap was our favorite. I never wanted the bites to end. The wagyu ramen was nice and light, but nothing outstanding. The lobster myun was flavorful and the noodles had a great chew, but again nothing to write home about. The donkatsu had a great tomato flavor, but there was so much sauce that it made the breading soggy. I wish the sauce had been served separately to maintain the crispiness of the katsu. It was a nice experience to try, but I would not come again. read more

We made a reservation for 6:45PM. Got here at 6:40PM. Was told they were "resetting our table" and we didn't get seated until 7ish. A bit disappointed with their turn time. The ambiance is intimidate and dimly lit inside. The lamps on the tables have 3 levels of brightness that one can adjust to their liking. So we got to ordering! There were 4 of us so we each ordered something to share. We got the donkatsu (recommended by our server), lobster ramyun (dry ramyun), wagyu ramyun (broth), toro bbap, and the trout. Food came out at a decent pace. Overall, everyone's favorite dish was the toro but I felt it was a bit over hyped. Food was good but not amazing. read more

Our order for the night: - Toro Ssam Bap (4/5) - this was a great meal starter in a fun diy hand-roll format. The caviar on top was didn't play a substantial role because of the luscious layers beneath. Perhaps the uni add-on we didn't add, could've tied the dish together a bit better. Still enjoyable. - Jeju Fried Chicken (5/5) - succulent on the inside and crispy on the outside. The yogurt dip that came with it was a tarty delight and took this dish from really good to great! - Lobster Myun (4.5/5) - umami and comforting. A tad bit overcooked chunks of lobster, yet quite delicious! - Lamb Ja Ja Myun (4/5) - super savory. Perfectly cooked noodles, and sufficient protein to show for. Could use a tinge of sweetness yet this was an enjoyable take to those I've had at other places. The service was efficient and the restaurant was dimly lit which helped with the vibes. However the space is a little cramped. You mayb be asked to wait outside if your table is not ready, even if you're on time... Overall, decent experience. read more

I was excited to finally try Jeju Noodle Bar on my recent NYC trip. I've been wanting to go for years but never found the time. We made an early res for dinner and were quickly seated when we arrived. For food we shared the: - Clam & Seabream Somyeon: Loved this cold noodle dish with clams and seabream sashimi. The noodles are thin + light and with the tart dilly broth, it's a great cold app to get your appetite going. - Gochujang Bokum: Beef ragu on rice with pickled mustard green, this was super home-y and a really filling appetizer. Great to share with people if you're looking for something substantial. While the flavors weren't too special, it's definitely a comforting dish. - Jeju Ribs: Super tender, tangy ribs with a hint of spice. The ribs are so good and perfect for sharing. It's served with potato salad and pickled cucumbers on the side. Really happy to have tried this! - Mushroom Ramyun: Definitely our favorite dish of the night! The mushroom broth was so rich and full of flavor. I love the funkiness of mushrooms and this broth really packed a punch. The parmesan foam only adds to the umami and overall this ramyun was just so delicious and really surprisingly addictive for a vegan noodle soup. This turned out to be more enough food for us. In particular the Jeju ribs and gochujang bokum felt like large servings. We ended up bringing half the ribs and a good portion of the beef rice home. The ambiance feels cozy in the dimly lit dining room. It feels special while still being pretty casual which is great for a date night spot! Will definitely be back to try the other ramyuns on the menu. read more

Chef Douglas Kim brings his vision to life in both the experience and menu. It's shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that getting a reservation here is hard to come by, but when you finally do get a reservation, take every chance to make your way there! The Toro Saam Bap is iconic. Its flavor explosion wrapped in pure happiness. The instructions provided make it an experience! Read the fine print for most of the items on whether you should mix or not mix them! The fried chicken is divine. The sauce reminds you of an onion powder chip and adding caviar on top of your chicken moves the needle beyond. Jeju Noodle Bar is a win for everyone.

Jeju has that Michelin hype and with that comes with the Michelin price We ordered toro ssam bap (with uni - wow bougie okay), fried chicken, wagyu ramen, lamb ja jiang myun They're known for the toro ssam bap and it delivered. One of the best things we ate during our entire trip to New York honestly. Well balanced flavors from every ingredient, just a seafood heaven in each bite. But maybe I'm just not convinced by caviar but adding it feels sometimes like a cop out to charge more haha. More so adding caviar on fried chicken is wildddddd. With the toro tho? Amazing. Each dish was like a punch to the face flavor wise, very strong over the top flavors. Which at first was confusing for my taste buds if I'm being honest. I went between ramen and myun and tbh was getting overwhelmed. Started eating each individually for a while and then I started enjoying it more. I realized after the meal that I like rotating around dishes when eating but for Jeju I recommend really savoring one dish at a time because the flavors are that intense. The yogurt dip with the chicken was a highlight for me. Refreshing acidity that balances the juicy fried chicken so well. Like I said though, the caviar felt unnecessary. Lamb myun was a pretty wild flavor journey - sweet, savory, then numbing spice hitting at the end. But overall balanced in that each flavor held their own. I appreciate the personality in design with the comic style explanations and little add ons to the menu. Tasteful yet playful at the same time. I wouldn't say my life was changed from this meal but I don't regret the meal either. Tasty meal but I'm not bowing down at the Jeju altar like some diners. If you want a flavor roller coaster (and are willing to pay the price) then Jeju is a place to visit. read more

Was in New York over the weekend and decided to try Jeju noodle bar. Gochu ramen : 4/5 - the gochujang dollop on top of the ramen is not spicy. Broth was savory flavorful complex. I tried the wagyu ramen broth and preferred this one. The added kimchi and wood-eared mushrooms added the vegetal texture that I like without having to go full-on vegetarian. Great dish! $24 Wagyu ramen 4/5 : it's a very rich broth. I mean the title of the dish starts off with Wagyu. Lol. They put in raw A5 wagyu. You submerge it in the broth to cook it similar to eating pho. The broth is very meaty, very savory and compliments the wagyu. If you are hardcore carnivore you going to love this dish. * Probably the most expensive dish on the menu at $ 45 Toro appetizer : 5/5 Toro - probably the most popular appetizer on the menu here. I don't really like anything raw but I decided to try it anyways and the fish was really fresh. It wasn't overpowering plus tm Fried chicken: 5/5 I'm not a big fan of fried chicken, but I really do love the presentation. The additional sauce and caviar topping that they bring to you on a custom wooden tray. The bucket of fried chicken with cartoon pics Douglas is fun and a theme that continues throughout the menu and some of the dishes. Way to elevate the experience! Well done Interior 5/5 modern Asian inspired . Low light romantic setting - great for dates Service 5/5: very attentive staff. You will get utensil replacements after each dish. read more

Finally got to try Jeju Noodle Bar during my most recent trip to NYC and it did not disappoint! We ordered the toro ssam bap and fried chicken to start, which were both delicious. The ssam bap was slightly reminiscent of the caviar kim from Jua which is still one of my favorite NYC restaurants (although I'd say it's a little less rich, which is not a good or a bad thing), and the fried chicken was SO CRISPY, flavorful, and juicy! The appetizers definitely stood out here. For main dishes, we ordered the wagyu ramyun and the gochu ramyun. Both were pretty decent, although I felt that the noodles in both dishes were slightly undercooked/firm for my taste and did not absorb the flavor of the broth particularly well. That being said, the broth itself was super rich which did somewhat complement the more bland noodles, and I think probably made the rich broth easier for me to eat as I usually don't like super rich flavors. The gochu ramyun broth was actually very reminiscent of Ichiran to me, although the gochujang added some sweetness that definitely made it much more unique! read more

Dinner here started out great but went downhill at the end for me. Surprisingly small, dark interior (they had the blinds drawn) that was giving West Village French/Italian restaurant. Not too noisy and not too cramped so I was a fan. My friend and I split 2 apps and 2 entrees (and 4 glasses of wine): Toro ssam bap was pricey but so fun to scoop and delicious. The fried chicken was perfect, huge pieces that had crispy skin and tender meat, and came with a generous plate amount of dipping sauce and caviar. Gochu ramyun was mildly sour and spicy. Lots of veg and pork belly in it, which I liked, but the noodles were pretty average. Hwe neng myun - seasonal so we wanted to try it. So refreshing! Had mint leaves, raw fish, bean sprouts, and some other things. Service was generally good - our waiter offered recommendations when he saw we were hung up on the options and explained how to eat everything. Where I'm disappointed is that we hadn't finished the neng myun by the end of our seating and they wouldn't let us take it to-go because of the raw fish. So we only got to enjoy a third of it before they took the rest away... If I knew they would do that then I would have ordered something else because this place isn't cheap! I'm pretty salty about that. About $150pp after tax/tip for this meal. Maybe I'd go back but I'd prefer not to get my food tossed without advance notice. read more

Slightly disappointed with the overall service and experience. I would say it started off really great with the first hostess helping us with our table. Our party was running late so when we got seated we went ahead and put their orders and our order in. Our first 2 apps arrived pretty quickly (Toro Ssam) and Fried Chicken, however our Fluke came about 20 minutes after. Then our main dish (Wagyu, Family and Jja Jang) came about 20-25 minutes after that. The dishes were also dropped off at our table and no one would check up on us. I noticed that was kind of the experience other guests so it looks like it was standard. Overall my top dishes were Toro Ssam and the Family ramyun. read more

JeJu Noodle Bar - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I would come back just for the toro ssam bap alone. That dish was absolutely divine and mind-blowing. I took a star off for the rest because I thought all of the other dishes were okay. The fried chicken was super tender, but maybe I didn't love the oil or the breading because there was a tinge of something that took away from the chicken flavor. The wagyu ramen was nothing special. The gochujang bokum was the second best dish, but it is still a league away from the toro ssam bap. Next time, I'd probably just get two of the toro dish and call it a day. Service was great. Restaurant was dark, but it was still a nice, intimate environment. read more
