A Michelin-starred restaurant in New York City, mentioned in community discussions about restaurants that might lose a star in the next Michelin Guide.
Eh. It was ok. Our server was super nice and we were able to get same day bar reservations, but the food was nothing to write home about. The fried chicken was just ok, not super flavorful, the dip literally saved it because it was lacking flavor. The caviar tuna dip was better than the chicken dish, but still just ok. We spent a decent amount of money for drinks, not many bottles of wine are in a glass option so you have to purchase a whole bottle. Just wish overall the food had more flavor, Adding a scoop of caviar doesn’t make it “Michelin”.
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.
Cozy Korean restaurant in Greenwich with patient and cheerful staff, serving up some delicious toro ssambap. Decadent and fun to assemble, it's toro loaded up with scrambled egg and a healthy portion of caviar. Probably the best thing on the menu and their signature dish. At Jeju noodle bar, you're better off with their raw/seafood dishes. The noodles are decent, but nothing to write home about and pricey for what it is. The family ramyun broth isn't as rich and more on the porky side, the lamb jajangmyun is more of a Sichuan mala taste and little overbearing rather than the usual sauce. The chicken sando, a current special, is just ok. It's a sandwich in burger shaped form, rather than the Wagyu sando shape you'd expect. Reservations can be hard to score, but set alerts in rest and something will pop up!
Walked in right when they opened and put myself in the waitlist. Fifteen minutes later, I got a text saying a table was available.
The space is intimate and feels special. But to be quite frank, the food is good but not sure if it’s Michelin star good. The appetizers were quite delicious, namely the toro ssam bap and the amberjack. Prior to my visit, I heard mixed comments about the noodles. You’d expect Jeju Noodle Bar to have standout noodles, but in my opinion, they were the most lacking dish of the night. The flavor of the Wagyu Ramyun felt very one-dimensional and lacked the kind of quality I was hoping for. Overall, worth a visit but hope the quality of the noodles improves.
Chang and Anya took great care of me last Sunday. It was my third attempt of getting in and it was well worth the wait. The food was magnificent. Rich, bur delicate flavors in each dish. I will definitely be back and need to bring my sisters! Also love that their logo is an octopus 🐙💕
