Jeju Korean Bistro in Freiburg im Breisgau

Very tasty food. The service was good, but there is still room for improvement.

Small, nice, cheap, tasty, but a small menu and a taste that takes some getting used to. Large portion

I had the Deonjang Jjigae, and it was okay. It didn't have much flavor and unfortunately can't compare to the original in Korea. At least it's served fairly authentically in a stone pot, with the rice served separately in a metal container. The service was friendly and reliable, even though every table was constantly occupied. Be prepared to wait outside for a seat.

My friend and I were on a school trip to Freiburg, we had a free hour to have lunch, and being lovers of K-pop and Korean culture, we looked for something oriental, and this was one of the first options that came out. We were pleasantly surprised: even though the menu wasn't too extensive, there was still a lot of choice for typical Korean dishes. We had Korean fried chicken and Dolsot. Everything was really delicious, the ingredients seemed very fresh and the food was piping hot! 😍 It was the first time I ate Korean, and I was really satisfied! The staff was very kind and friendly, and even when we asked to take the food away due to a mishap, they were quick and professional. I really recommend it to everyone, there are dishes for all tastes! I really hope to be able to go back sooner or later, to try all the other dishes! Thanks for the fantastic experience 🫰🏻

Highly recommended and the Gan Jan chicken delicious!

I was there with a colleague, the wait was definitely worth it, the food came super quickly and tasted great, the atmosphere is beautiful even though we were sitting right at the back, the staff were extremely friendly and competent, we will definitely be back and the place is definitely recommended :)

Crispy Chicken + Ice Tea Peach :) best combination. Or what is also very tasty is the aloevera drink. 10/10 but no reservation. Which is a good thing, otherwise it would be permanently reserved. The only thing that can sometimes be annoying is when other guests visit the restaurant like a bar and have to talk very loudly, so that everyone has to know where they want to go on vacation 🙄

What a treat we ate one of the best Bibimbap there

Small but nice and nicely furnished, although a bit cramped. Service was quick and very friendly. Menu clearly laid out on one page and still difficult to decide because everything sounds delicious :-) Food comes very promptly, hot and very tasty. All in all, an absolute recommendation, although you should also be aware that it's not a place where you stay for hours, but go there, feel good, eat delicious food and leave again :-)

A real insider tip from the staff, the decor and the food were absolutely top notch. We were there on Tuesday and it was so good that there was something from there again on Thursday

The Bulgogi Bibimbap is particularly delicious. Nice and fast service.

I felt it was racial discrimination. It was supposed to cost 2:50 to finish the meal, but no one was allowed to order at 2:40. They kicked us out at 3 o'clock before we had finished eating. The German waiter sitting next to us was never kicked out once and will never come again. The fried chicken was also terrible and smelled like fried food🤢

It was a terrible dining experience. They drove us away before we even finished the meal. They showed disdain at first and kept urging us to leave before the business was closed. They asked us if we needed a packing box and asked us to pack it away. The drinks were not even finished but they had to take them away. Bad review. I will never go to this kind of restaurant again.

Highly recommended. Super fast service, authentic cuisine, cool ambience. Thank you

In the center of Freiburg a good place to stop for lunch or dinner. It's small and they don't take reservations but the service is fast enough. Well prepared food with a variety of dishes to choose from.

Excellent restaurant. The taste is simply great and the staff is very nice and attentive. I think the drinks are a bit too small but otherwise the price is okay. You have to try the Dolsot bibimbap.

Vegan bibimbab was very tasty and service was very friendly. Our two dogs were welcome, great!

Absolutely not vegetarian or vegan friendly. The vegetarian dishes do not contain any protein sources such as tofu, although this is standard in the soups. This is not offered even upon request. In addition, there are no plant-based milk alternatives - really backwards for 2025. Otherwise good food.

insanely good korean food, went there with two friends and we tried a lot of things on the card. really fast service, good food and quite cozy. quite affordable in my opinion, considering how much food you get, and how GOOD the food is.

Very tasty, unfortunately you can't make a reservation and it gets full quickly. We'd love to come back.

I came here because of good reviews, but was extremely disappointed. The food is below average and quite expensive for Korean restaurants. No side dishes are served, I had bibimbap and it was full of sunflower oil and the rice was burnt. The restaurant is tiny, you can barely fit people in and you can overhear other people's conversations.

Small and fine, which applies to both the dining room and the menu. We were lucky and quickly got a table for two, super friendly service at reception. The kimchi was so delicious and crunchy, I can only recommend it. The only drawback for me was the "slight pressure" I felt when a queue formed outside, but that's subjective 🙃

Very authentic, tastes just like being in Korea

Very tasty Korean in Freiburg. Very nice and fast service. No reservation. Arrive early on weekends and be put on the waiting list if necessary.

Very good food and nice staff. I'd love to come back

Great modern restaurant with delicious cuisine and very friendly service. We enjoyed it. We were able to get a table spontaneously. The food was prepared fresh and delicious. Highly recommended!

Refreshing cold beer, delicious sizzling hot bulgogi bibimbap, and service with a warm smile made my first visit to Jeju one that I would gladly repeat again. Too bad I'm leaving tomorrow morning.

When we arrived there was already a queue in front of the restaurant. You then have to go in and write a name and number of people on a list, then you will be called when there is enough space available. The food tastes very good, but I would recommend Dolsot Bibimbab instead of Bibimbab. Bibimbab got cold relatively quickly while Dolsot Bibimbab is served in a hot stone pot and therefore stays warm until you are finished eating.

Food tends to come out quickly. Dolsot bibimbap is a meal The portions were generous and satisfying, with the rice remaining hot until the end, and the chicken was freshly fried and crispy. And the kimchi stew was really delicious👍

Call ahead to make sure it's open. We drive for an hour and then we are told that the kitchen is already closed. Impudence!

There were two of us and we got a table straight away. The food was excellent and the service first class. Even though the restaurant was very full, we only had to wait a few minutes for our food. An absolute recommendation.

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.

Very good food, a bit cramped seating but ok

Typical Korean food.exotica and tasty. I recommend 👍

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

Best bibimbap in stone bowl in Freiburg!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

Super delicious food, super nice service. Highly recommended!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!
