   Jeju was delicious and unique; they offered a delightful Korean and Korean-adjacent spread at significant prices, but well worth the bill in my opinion. The food was a smash for me; we got the tasting menu and received a slew of small dishes in traditional style, able to supplement multiple courses with banchan. All the mains were delicious, especially the chef’s meat spread which changes up nightly. The dessert meringue was utterly unique and an instant favorite. The space was quite energetic and busy, lots of people dining and talking, but that added to the warm and welcoming vibe.

   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.

   This place is not Korean. It is Korean fusion at best. It is a non-Korean fancy chef's take on the food. Good drinks. Loud atmosphere. Caught the server talking about us to another server. Chef's tasting menu is poor value. The entire first course is stuff you get free at every Korean restaurant. The raw fish in the crudo has a delicate flavor that was completely masked by the kimchi foam. Such a poor pairing of ingredients. I won't be back.

   The food was just okay. The meats were very bland and service was a little slow

   They made such a special experience for my mom and I. She had a tough year and I made a small note in the reservation saying how special a meal this would be. They definitely added their touch - I will be a ride or die forever (or for as long as they keep pumping out great restaurant concepts! I’m there!)

    What a spectacular dining experience. First and foremost the food was stellar - the menu has a variety of options from the usual to the exploratory (unless you are a frequent Korean cuisine diner). We did the chef's counter and loved it. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The tasting menu provided an opportunity to explore a lot of different items from the menu. It's presented in a way you can mix and match as you see fit. The value was impressive as the quality and quantity of food would have easily given another meal. We even got to meet the owner who was super engaging and clearly cares about the entirety of the restaurant, staff, customers, and the food. One of the best experiences ever.
