Jeju Kitchen - Carmel-By-The-Sea (CA)

5 /5 foster smith: Had a wonderful time here! The service was perfect! The way they bring the jalapeno smash burger together is incredible too. Even for a chilly night in December the patio seating was cozy and warm next to our heater. A bowl of Dumpling soup hit the spot. The lions mane tempura with a fresh lemon slice and creamy dipping sauce was outstanding!

3 /5 Anusha Dasarakothapalli: Stopped by this place in Carmel plaza while strolling around the village. Decent food, good ambience and decent service! Portion sizes are huge for one person as most dishes come with a side of rice as well (even the noodles). Glass noodles tasted pretty good, but the tofu protein add was so bland and not even salted properly. Kimchi dumplings were average - too oily for my liking. Good overall was a bit overpriced especially when requesting hot water was charged extra as well as protein add was 8$ minimum. One highlight was their dog menu, my pup thoroughly enjoyed the bacon!

5 /5 Wendy Lamara: These mouth watering photos speak for themselves already! Jeju is our happy place and we always have a great time here. There is beautiful outdoor seating or cozy indoor tables. The team and owner are always professional and inviting. It’s dog friendly and the food is consistently delicious, yet not heavy. The ingredients taste fresh and the calamari is our favorite in town.

5 /5 M Pak: Its not an authentic Korean restaurant, but its a great place to taste Korean food. You can taste representative ribs and bibimbap. Especially Korean pancake was delicious. Please note that bibimbap is really large. I especially liked the very clean and modern interior. There are not many tables prepared, but since it was weekday evening, I was able to enter right away without waiting. I recommend you to visit.

5 /5 naomi davidson: The food was delicious and the portions were monstrous. I guess it was a very good value if you consider that there will be so many leftovers. Our party of four does not like to waste food, and just seeing these portions, while very tasty, felt quite daunting. My request to Jeju Kitchen is to offer both small and large portions on the menu, or downsize their portions & prices a bit. The "KFC" fried chicken was comically huge. Like 6 chicken breasts and two legs. This dish alone would have fed the four of us. The Poke bowl would have fed two people. I felt especially bad about wasting the last bits of the Poke bowl because its a dish that wont keep very well as a leftover. Anyway, we did love this restaurant and the portion size was my only criticism.
