Korean Noodle

Jeju Noodle Bar

West Village, New York, NY 📍 Maps

Chef Douglas Kim, who never cooked a noodle in his life before opening Jeju Noodle Bar, was inspired to create a Michelin-starred Korean ramyun spot after eating a bowl of noodles. This place is irreplaceable because it's the first and only noodle restaurant in the US to earn and retain a Michelin star, elevating Korean comfort food with fine-dining techniques. Regulars know to snag a reservation well in advance, especially for weekend evenings, as the intimate space fills up quickly.

★ The Legend
Toro Ssam Bap
This dish is consistently highlighted by critics and the chef himself as a signature item, evolving from a solution for leftover ingredients into an 'umami bomb' and one of the best dishes in the city. Chef Douglas Kim created it in 30 minutes to utilize excess fatty tuna and overcooked eggs, and while he jokingly calls it 'too easy,' it's a customer favorite and a must-try.
◆ Fan Favorite
Wagyu Ramyun
This ramyun comes with raw A5 Miyazaki wagyu, brisket, kikurage mushrooms, enoki, and white kimchi in a rich beef bone broth. The thinly sliced wagyu cooks gently in the hot broth at the table, creating a tender, flavorful experience that many consider their best noodle dish.
● Chef's Pick
Gochu Ramyun
Chef Kim himself has highlighted this ramyun, which features pork belly and white kimchi in a spicy pork broth. The broth is a veritable thesis on ace ingredients, with curly noodles, bean sprouts, and pickled cabbage, showcasing the chef's innovative approach to traditional Korean flavors.
◇ Hidden Gem
Truffle Scallops
While many focus on the noodles, these truffle scallops deliver an umami-packed experience that first-timers often overlook. They're a testament to the kitchen's commitment to innovative flavor combinations beyond the ramyun.
Insider Tip

First-timers often focus solely on the ramyun, but the appetizers here are truly exceptional and, according to some, even outshine the main courses. Instead, order one ramyun to share and multiple appetizers like the Toro Ssam Bap and Truffle Scallops. This way, you get to experience the full breadth of Chef Kim's culinary creativity and the dishes that truly earned the restaurant its Michelin star.
