Excellent food, each dish a great combination of textures and colors, and well seasoned. Complex but not fussy. Good service, reasonable prices. The bar was a little loud but otherwise pretty perfect.

This was our first time at Jeju, and we will definitely be back. We started with the mixed appetizers, which were excellent. Then had a salad and shared the bulgogi skirt steak. Finished with the Jeju sundae. Everything was excellent, and the service was prompt and attentive without being obtrusive. Overall an excellent evening.
