Jeju Korean Bistro in Freiburg im Breisgau

Good authentic Korean food good service.

Brilliant restaurant with exceptionally delicious Korean food. The staff was also very friendly.

We went to the restaurant spontaneously and it was worth it. One of the best bibimbaps I have ever eaten. Service very friendly, ambience ok - could be made more comfortable.

First time in this restaurant. The food was very spicy. We are still debating whether we would do this again. In our opinion, dishes lose their flavor due to too many spices.

Super delicious Korean food Absolute tip

The food is different and very delicious.

Typical Korean food.exotica and tasty. I recommend 👍

Very good food, a bit cramped seating but ok

We felt like we were on vacation in South Korea The food was very good

We were here for lunch and ordered a delicious starter and two main courses. The food was absolutely delicious and very seasoned. The service was quick and attentive, but could have been a little friendlier. Unfortunately, the seats are very cramped and you can't talk in peace without the next table overhearing.

The food and the service were amazing.

Best bibimbap in stone bowl in Freiburg!

Best Korean food I’ve eaten in Freiburg, highly recommend Bibimbap! Also kind staff ❤️

Expensive, small amounts. But service is super kind

To whom it may concern, I wanted to share some feedback regarding my recent visit to your restaurant. First and foremost, I thoroughly enjoyed the food. It was delicious, and the service was both quick and friendly, which I truly appreciated. However, I did encounter an experience at the end of my visit that left a lasting negative impression. Before paying, I was asked if everything had been to my satisfaction, and while I responded affirmatively, I also offered some honest feedback, mentioning that I found the portion of rice served with the main course to be quite small. I was hoping this would be taken as constructive criticism, but the response I received was a rather dismissive suggestion that I could simply order more rice. My comment was meant to highlight that for the price of a main dish, it’s hard to justify being charged an additional €2.50 for a portion of rice large enough to feel satisfied. I accepted the situation and asked for the total bill. I was then quoted a price higher than what the actual amount turned out to be, which led me to leave a higher tip than I might have, as I wanted to recognize the overall good service. It was only after I had left that I realized the actual total was lower than what I had been told. This left me feeling quite disheartened, especially considering the dismissive remark earlier. I’m writing to you because, having worked in the service industry myself for many years, I know that in today’s competitive landscape, customer orientation is key to long-term success. Experiences like this one can lead customers to think twice before returning, even when the food is excellent. While this may not have an immediate impact if business is good, such interactions can affect customer loyalty in the long run. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. I hope it is taken in the constructive spirit in which it is intended.

Good service, compared to Koreans in other cities, the food was rather poor and not very sophisticated. Too expensive, hectic atmosphere as narrow tables

Very tasty food, nice service and everything happens super quickly. I can highly recommend the fried dumplings as a starter and Ganjang Chicken. The only thing I don't like is the atmosphere with the tables very close together. I just don't feel very comfortable sitting arm-in-arm with or between other people.

Never again ! Service is unacceptable! I was told this afternoon that I am not allowed to occupy a free table as a single person, as you have to leave this only free table for four people. Although the free table was not reserved and I could have finished my lunch in 15 minutes and left the table free again. I have never experienced anything like this in any other restaurant in Freiburg, simply outrageous! You should respect the customers a little more, even if it's busy lunch time.

just terrible service! clear: people are different, but today there was a log.

Delicious Bibimap and very nice service even late in the evening shortly before closing.

We were warmly welcomed with strollers! The map is small and clear. The food really tasted very good and the staff were all very nice too! If you want good and authentic Korean food, this is the right place for you. Gladly again :)

My visit to Jeju Korean Bistro in Freiburg was really great. The food was excellent, you can taste that everything was homemade. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant and clean. We would definitely like to come back! It always seems to be busy, which shows how popular it is.

So good proper Korean food in Freiburg!! So happy will be beck to try more of the menu

the bibimbap and dolsot are solid, vegan options are available. Service was quick, restaurant and toilet clean.

The service was quick depending on the number of guests (it was quite full) and the interior is simple but not unpleasant. Had the Dolsot Bulgogi Bibimbab (hot stone vessel in which rice with marinated beef and various vegetables is served) and it is similar to what you get in Seoul, so too sweet for my taste, but the rice and toppings were perfectly fine. The fact that you don't get any banchan (side dishes) with the dish is a minus, but the kimchi (which you have to pay extra for) is plentiful and relatively good.

I've only ever eaten Korean BBQ and wanted to try bibimbap this time. Since the menu here is very clear and most of it consists of this dish, I was in good spirits and wasn't disappointed. I thought it tasted very good and you could add some extra seasoning with the sauces that were served with it. Plus, my beef was super tender. This was very rare in a restaurant and was my highlight of the dish. The hot bowl was really great because it made the rice nice and crispy. Unfortunately my drink had a bit too much ice cubes added to it, which lost some of the flavor of the plum drink - which was a bit of a shame. At first glance, the atmosphere was also authentic and inviting. You just shouldn't look too closely because then you'll notice a few defects here and there. But I would eat there again at any time and I felt very welcome there.

What a great place. Unfortunately we don't come to Freiburg too often but this bistro is definitely a 10/10. Service, speed, quality all excellent!

A great addition to Freiburg's slowly growing scene of higher quality asian eateries. Food is authentic Korean "bistro" food (ie no Korean BBQ but other, typical dishes like Bibimbap). The interior design is also really nice.

Super delicious food, super nice service. Highly recommended!

Food could have had more service. is planned so minimally that you pay extra for each part. Even for something as fundamental as an egg in BiBimBap, that really amazed me. non-organic, non-regional, 2€ surcharge. I got tired of looking at it on the map. otherwise nice Korean cuisine, as I'm used to. Very sweet two waitresses. Eloquent, nice, can express themselves elaborately in German and have a pleasant manner.

Been here for the first time (as a couple). We enjoyed it very much, the kimchi was to die for. The two main courses (chicken and bulgogi) were on point. We'll be back! :)

A Western employee has a poor service attitude. There were still plenty of tables outside, but she kept me waiting. I have eaten here many times, not the first time🙂

The food was quite okay, the hot stone bowl sounded more impressive than it was in the end, the starters were exciting and tasted convincing. The service is quick and competent.

I had lunch there once with a friend from Freiburg who recommended this place to me. I can tell that I wasn't disappointed: the service was great, the food tasty, the atmosphere very nice, and the prices were okay. So, it's a perfect Korean restaurant in the middle of Freiburg!

This is a typical korean restaurant like you could see in others cities. The dishes lack flavor, but the products are fresh and the service makes up for this small negative point.

The food was ok. The map was very clear. The food we ordered, three different dishes, wasn't something we would say WOW... It tasted good, but wasn't well seasoned. Or the three of us were unlucky. I know different somewhere else. Still, I think it's good. Thanks for the service.

people, tasty! we polished everything off, it was just delicious.

I am a big fan now. First time here was tonight. I will most definitely be coming back every chance I get.

Yesterday, I ate kimchi stew in Strasbourg, and soybean paste stew here in Freiburg. The taste of soybean paste stew is perfect for our taste. It is said that locals here also enjoy eating it. It's fascinating. The soup is made with thinly sliced ​​radish, pumpkin, and mushrooms, and also includes tofu. It blows away the greasy taste of cheese and meat that has lasted for nearly two weeks and gives you the strength to continue your trip again. I will eat dinner here tonight too. Highly recommended👍

The food is wonderful, quick service and the staff is very friendly. I (we) can only recommend Jeju.

Unfortunately, the authentic Korean cuisine offered in Jeju does not correspond to the true flavor intensity and variety of real Korean cuisine. The Bibim Bab in the hot stone bowl, which looked beautifully presented, is simply bland. The proportions of rice and toppings were simply not right. Even the important and typical chili paste was not refined in terms of taste. The pancake with spring onions and seafood impresses in Korea with its crispy consistency and high proportion of seafood and vegetables. What we were served was a flatbread that was far too thick, heavy and tasteless. The proportion of spring onions and seafood was pitiful. The two fried chicken dishes with different marinades were also coated with far too much batter. This means there is no typical crunch effect and the consistency is more reminiscent of tortellini. As if increasing the volume with a thick layer of dough wasn't enough, both chicken dishes were served with potatoes. Absolutely no go! It should only be mentioned in passing that the chili marinade is not authentic and the chicken radish vegetables served with it were completely tasteless. The kimchi stew was very salty for my taste, but my daughter enjoyed it. Conclusion in terms of taste intensity there is no comparison to real Korean cuisine. The food shouldn't be adapted to German tastes either, because all my German friends who are enthusiastic about Korean cuisine have always first learned to appreciate and love our food either privately or in Korea. Finally, from Korean to Korean. You should serve 3 types of side dishes as a service with every meal! 4 cubes of Gag Tugi (radish kimchi), 3-4 slices of Da Mu Zi (fermented radish) and a few pieces of Go Chu (pepper) with a dollop of Denjang (fermented bean paste) doesn't cost the world, but visually enhances it immensely and, above all, is authentic Korean gastronomy.

Great little Korean restaurant, definitely worth the wait when it's busy. The food tastes very good.

Seafood pancake is delicious but gave me severe food poisoning

Best Korean food in Freiburg. We come very regularly and get a place promptly even if you can't make a reservation. The waitresses are very friendly and on the ball. The food comes to the table very quickly.

Found by chance while visiting Freiburg, it was an opportunity to taste Korean cuisine. The place is small and there is also the possibility of eating outside in the summer. Fast, attentive staff and good food. Average prices. I recommend it without reservations.

The food is TOP! The best Korean Fried Chicken in the area.

The Jeju is a real enrichment for Freiburg's city center. Very good and attentive service rounds off the good food. Simply something special, cooked with love. Even though Korean isn't really my thing, it was really good.

Restaurant that offers Korean dishes. The staff is very friendly. The service was perfect. I am more divided when it comes to dishes. Theokbokki and kimchi Jjigae dishes are very good. The Dolsot Bulgogi (hot pot) is good but nothing more. It lacks a little flavor. The Bulgogi kim-bap, Yachae kim-bap and bulgogi (cold bibimbab) are very average. Mainly for a lack of flavor.

Great ambience (inside), authentic cuisine and very friendly and attentive staff.

I went there without any expectations on my way back from Lake Titisee, but both the taste and the atmosphere were great. There are not many menu items

What a treat we ate one of the best Bibimbap there

Very authentic Korean in the heart of Freiburg. For our (German) standards, the food was very well seasoned and balanced. Service was very nice and accommodating. They also went out of their way to help my gluten-free friend. Dogs are no problem either and water was even brought without asking. Unfortunately the seating inside is a bit cramped (bistro style). Very warm inside in midsummer (despite the fan).

Were very happy with everything. Decently spicy, very well seasoned, good portion size. Will come back

Very good freshness, quality and presentation. Korean Fried Chicken really crispy and still juicy, great. Great experience.

Excellent Korean restaurant in the center of Freiburg. The food is fresh and delicious, the staff very friendly and the service fast. Also regarding prices, definitely good. Highly recommended.

Good and plentiful dishes, fast service and friendly staff

Very tasty food. Price-performance ratio absolutely fine. Very nice service.

It tastes very good, but the gimbap is missing that certain something. I've eaten better elsewhere in Freiburg. Otherwise I think the selection, the ambience and everything is very nice.

This is the best Korean restaurant we have ever eaten at. We tried bibimbap and fried chicken in many German cities. It's really cozy here and the food is delicious. My children and I love it very much.

Basically it was ok, the service was very good, otherwise a very manageable shop. However, I have to deduct a star because I missed the WoW effect. The food was too monotonous for me, I would have expected something with gradations of taste.

Very cute bistro, nice to sit outside and very tasty food!! Great vegetarian and vegan options. The aloe vera juice and the bibimbab are particularly highly recommended:)

Came here to visit but closed for a month…what a pity

Very tasty authentic Korean cuisine. The theokbokki and kim bap were very tasty. The Kim-Bap roll in particular is definitely worth it for the price and can also be perfectly shared. But my highlight were above all the crispy vegetable mandus and also the crispy Korean fried chicken, absolute recommendation!

Delicious food, cute restaurant and very friendly, courteous service. The drinks are a bit expensive and relatively small for the price, but otherwise really great!

Very tasty Korean chicken. Bulgogi was also very tasty and fresh. The staff was also very friendly.

With two days left before my family trip, I came back to Freiburg after traveling from Freiburg to Colmar and wanted to eat Korean food. I went to Jeju Island. I was told there was a wait of about 20 minutes, so they showed me a seat while I was waiting, so I looked at the menu and saw that there was a variety of menus. The menu I ordered was bulgogi, stone pot rice, and vegetables. I ordered stone pot rice and soybean paste stew, and although it was expensive, the portion was plentiful and the stew was delicious. I was very happy to see that one of the staff was not Korean but spoke Korean well.

Very good service and very delicious food. I loveed it.

Everything was great about this place. Delicious Korean BBQ chicken and bulgogi bibimpab. Exquisite style bistro with competent service.

Unfortunately the chicken was very dry and hard.

Really good service was there with a few friends and a small child. Unfortunately they only have one high chair, which is a shame. We were unlucky that it was already occupied. Otherwise the menu is manageable, but all the dishes are perfectly coordinated and very delicious!!

Very tasty food, unfortunately you can't make a reservation here, but the wait wasn't long (we waited 15 minutes for a table, Saturday evening at 6 p.m.) Very nice staff. Definitely worth a visit!

Small menu with delicious dishes!

Very tasty, authentic, good value for money and a very nice team. gladly again

Loved this meal. The food is so fresh and tasted so flavourful. The potatoes and kanpoongi were perfectly cooked - the dolsot bulgogi bibimbap with an egg on top was one of the best we have had. The restaurant had a good atmosphere and friendly service.

Very tasty Korean food. It is not possible to make a reservation, so there is often a queue in front of the restaurant. In our case we had to wait about 10 minutes. The restaurant is rather small and therefore quite narrow and loud. The service was nice and helpful. The food and the portions were very good. I would recommend the restaurant.

Korean cuisine restaurant in the heart of Freiburg, I went with high expectations and the truth is that it was quite good, however, we sat inside and the truth is that it was quite hot, a little uncomfortable, the service somewhat distant but pleasant . In general, recommended.

Worth a recommendation! A small, well-stocked menu where the starters are particularly worth it! The staff is very nice and the atmosphere is modern and stylish. However, they do not accept reservations; getting a table requires a bit of luck.

I, from another city, have eaten much tastier Korean chicken many times. I was even a little disappointed because I've only heard good things. In my city it is even cheaper by far. Personally, I wouldn't eat there again. I don't think there is a large selection of Korean chicken in Freiburg, so you would really like this. Kimchi was also very soggy and not crunchy at all.

woaah woaahhhhh, mmmhhh delicious chicken woahh mmmmhhh so delicious, tasty baoahhh

Food was good but service spoiled the mood, especially the one waitress who treated us very badly. A pity.

Always a pleasure in this little Korean restaurant in the heart of Friebourg! The food is good, the setting nice and the atmosphere!

Basically very tasty, but the meat was fibrous and so poorly cut that everything stuck together in one big lump.

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly staff and the food was great 👌

Super delicious food. I love the Bimbap Bulgogi with an extra fried egg on top. It is always busy - i.e. it is better if you are flexible, as there can sometimes be waiting times. Service is very quick and very nice.

Cool new spot in Freiburg, food and service are great. Only the vegetarian selection could be a little larger :)

In the top ! The menu is simple but complete, the dishes are very tasty and plentiful, the cuisine is authentic, we loved it! (I recommend kimchi as an accompaniment!)

Very tasty but unfortunately you can't make a reservation and there is often a wait on site

Nice small Korean restaurant right in the heart of Freiburg. It's pretty popular so you may have to wait a bit to get seated since there are no reservations. The interior is nicely decorated and the overall ambience is very relaxed. The food on the other hand was a little disappointing. There are no side dishes, like I've come to expect from most Korean restaurants I've went to. The kimchi I ordered separately was pretty expensive and tasted like convenience store kimchi. The bibimbab was a generous portion that tasted good, but was mostly rice. Overall for the price you pay I'd only recommend going here if you're really craving Korean food. Unfortunately there are very few other options in Freiburg.

We waited for 15 min but it was worth it 👌the portion of the food was a lot and with the spicy sauce it was so delicious.

A small Korean restaurant I discovered by chance. Around 13:30, perhaps because it was the late lunch hour, I got in in 5 minutes even though it was Saturday. Bibimbap, kimchi stew, kimbap, kimchi pancakes, tteokbokki, soy sauce chicken, etc. were all generally delicious. The makgeolli served in a kettle was also delicious. Perhaps because I come from Switzerland, where prices are high, the prices feel very reasonable.

Just the room is small... otherwise top kitchen!!!

Great location and super delicious food with vegan/vegetarian options

Nice small Korean restaurant with some amazing food. The fried chicken is really good, crunchy yet juicy. The staff was super nice and accommodating of the constantly changing size of our group, it was very appreciated. All of our group was very satisfied with their selections, will definitely go back!

Delicious. Especially the Korean Fried Chicken

The only Korean restaurant in town. The food selection are limited but the taste are good but not as spicy as it should be.

Super tasty and authentic food. Tastes like it was cooked by my Korean friend! Kimbap is highly recommended, kimchi is very tasty and fresh and bibimbap is also super tasty. Portion size is perfect, you are full but not overcrowded. We will definitely come back and eat our way through the menu piece by piece.

Nice shop, friendly staff, but unfortunately the food isn't convincing at all. The kimchi was soggy, had no bite and tasted like it was bought from an Asian market. The Mandu, which I received just 2 minutes after ordering, also tasted bought and not fresh. The third dish I had was Gim Bap. Unfortunately they were completely over salted and therefore tasted like nothing else. The tea was declared as matcha, but was probably a less intense Korean green tea powder. A pity. Anyone looking for authentic Korean cuisine will be disappointed here.

About the atmosphere: It's a bistro, pretty loud at lunchtime. The chairs are comfortable, not too cramped, tables of different sizes. Everything in lacquered black and gold. If the volume doesn't bother you, you'll feel comfortable. Tip to the restaurant: deafening noise when you throw cutlery into the cutlery drawer in an open space! That doesn't have to be the case? Important: No reservation. About the food: on a stopover to Japan we learned to love Korean cuisine. I really wanted the Bibimpap in the stone pot again: and you can get it here!!! You can order in a bowl or (a little more expensive) in a stone pot. Clearly: stone pot. I was thrilled 🤩 really like in Seoul 😋 The bistro was sought after by many Asian-looking people at lunchtime (I assume that they know this cuisine): it shows that it is good here. Personally, I don't find Korean cuisine to be that spicy; everyone could season their bowl with soy sauce and a sweet and sour sauce. The beef is also recommended. Conclusion: Recommended. I would love to come back!

We were there on a Friday at 7 p.m. and had to wait 25 minutes. The bibimbap was great!

Nice little restaurant! Food came hot from the kitchen, but unfortunately it got really cold in the metal bowl after a short time. For about €2 more you can get the stone bowl, which keeps the food warm throughout. That was a bit questionable for me for the price... The taste was great, the staff were nice and the food was on the table very quickly.
