Jeju Island (Jeju Do)

The BEST sashimi in Murray Hill! We love bringing our parents here for their sashimi sets, and let me tell you when you’re gonna be well-FED after this meal! Just when you think you’re done…there’s more!! Highly encourage coming here with your friends and family. The service is impeccable, and the food is delicious!

I had the pleasure of visiting this newly opened restaurant, and I was genuinely impressed by the owner's warm welcome and attentive service. The enticing array of tsukidashi whetted my appetite, and the fresh raw fish was a delightful treat. Every dish, including the spicy stew, was executed perfectly, making it a memorable dining experience that I look forward to sharing with friends on future visits. 😊👍

- Food Fanily and I ordered Bone-in Sliced Fish and Live Fish menu item, which came with many side dishes for us to enjoy. Select favorites were the oden and katsudon. Best to come in on an empty stomach because you will be eating a lot! The live fish platter was nicely presented and had nice texture. It is served with sesame leaves and lettuce for you to wrap the fish in with soybean paste. - Service Very attentive service, cleaned the finished dishes in timely manner. There are a lot of separate plates so space management is key. We were glad to have good service. - Ambiance Quaint and small shop with cute lanterns above. There is a fishtank as well where they keep the live fish and other critters (abalone, eels, etc). In the back is the sushi chef. There is a bathroom as well.

I used to go to the other place for sashime bit found out that it was permanently closed so we tried this place for the first time. 5 of us had a nice early dinner. The server was super attentive and friendly. The quality and freshness of sashimi was superb. The quantity was more than what we can consume for dinner. The best dish served was 매운탕 which I dont have the picture uploaded. We will go back to try other dishes they have.

I went for their lunch sashimi rice bowl event, which I had seen before, and asked if they were still offering it. They said yes, so I ordered it to go and paid. However, I was charged the regular full price, not the event price. If the promotion didn’t apply to takeout, they should have told me upfront. On top of that, I didn’t leave a tip since it was a takeout order and I signed the receipt accordingly. But when I checked my credit card statement later, an additional tip amount was charged without my consent. I never authorized that tip. This felt dishonest and like a scam. It left me with a very bad impression.

I've been a loyal customer of this establishment for quite some time, and recently, I noticed a significant change – it's now under new ownership. This revelation was evident in the complete transformation of the food quality. I had heard about the renowned chef Hoon, who has garnered a stellar reputation in the Flushing area. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that he now leads this establishment. I decided to explore the menu and tried the Live Fish Sushi Set, Live Octopus, Udon Noodle, and Crab Soup. To be perfectly honest, it's been years since I've tasted Korean-style sushi this remarkable. The last time I had such a culinary experience was during my time in Korea, over 15 years ago. It was a nostalgic moment to rediscover flavors from my youth. While Dok Do Ya on Northern Blvd is certainly commendable, Jeju Island's offerings surpass it in taste. For those unfamiliar with Korean sushi, it presents a wholly different and delightful experience compared to its Japanese counterpart. Once you savor the dishes here, you'll find it hard to return to traditional Japanese sushi. You have my utmost assurance on this.

We have been craving for Korean sashimi for a while and decided to give Jeju Island a try since it has been on my bucket list for a while. It looks like classic Jeju Island style which I saw from Korean drama and we were surrounded by Koreans so I think it should be authentic. We were astounished by the spread of combo for three. The portion was incredibly huge with reasonable price. It’s overall fresh, flavorful and satisfying but not delicate at all.

The food is so great. Since I moved to the neighborhood this year I never tried it before the new ownership but I'm so glad I got to come with the current owner. Just awesome quality of everything from the sides to the sashimi. If you want to leave a restaurant satisfied and full, come here (:

Better Korean sashimi and raw seafood places in flushing. Set menu comes with many dishes, live fish option brings out fresh from tank seafood. Mostly Korean clientele, but don't let that stop you. Recently updated, wider and cleaner. Maybe diff management? For price of an overpriced omekase in the city, feed two or three along with soju. Highly recommend.

TLDR: Jeju is a great spot if you're looking for Korean style sushi/sashimi. Stick with a fresh fish combo to avoid having to think and get a full tasting experience. Personally I like the flue. Stopped in for a Friday group dinner and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked everything. The pre tax/tip came out to around $45 per person which I thought was quite reasonable. The side dishes were all pretty enjoyable but what I really liked was the sashimi was sliced super thin. This made it easy to enjoy with the dip of fermented bean paste, garlic, sesame oil and chilis. There was a good chew to the fish but not requiring too much work. It's tough to describe in words but this was a meal that I've remembered quite fondly since dining there. Will definitely be hitting up it for dinner again soon.

This place is so underrated and I'm so glad we went a bit away from the Main St restaurants to go here. We ordered the Seafood & Sashimi combo which came with SO MANY side dishes (all of them were seafood, served in different ways. There was the squid stirfried in a spicy sauce, fish cake kebabs, octopus in wasabi sauce, and too many others to count. After enjoying the sides, they brought out the platter, which had many pieces of various fish (incl salmon and tuna). I will say it was a bit stuffy in there and at one point was so hot, but once they turned on the AC, it felt better. The restaurant itself is clean and fairly spacious. Beer was only $4, super cheap. I saw there were also special pricing for later in the night. The waitress we had only spoke Korean, but it was not difficult to order with the menu at all. The wait staff were all great and frequently changed out the plates. Highly recommend!

Visit on a Sunday afternoon around 5 pm on a rainy day for Korean style sushi & sashimi. Personally, I am not a big fan of table full of Korean style appetizers before the main sashimi dish ... Would rather dig in in the sashimi ^^ The appetizer/side dishes were OK. Nothing special. But, glad we tried the new soju "Mountain Halla". Brought our own booze & they charged us $30 for table charge (corkage fee) of booze. The main sashimi was (obviously) fresh, tad bit small portion for 4 ppl menu.

Koean sushi place Flushing NY Took out sushi 16 pieces and california roll for $50. The fish were fresh but too thinnly sliced. The menu had lunch and dinner sushi sashimi boxes for Monday thru Friday, live fish sashimi and sushi sashimi combos which comes with other Korean seafood dishes. Like to try them next time in Flushing.

First time visiting Jeju since their relocation, and I'm glad to know it's still great! My friends and I were seated immediately and had great service throughout the entire meal! We ordered the sushi and sashimi combo B for 5 of us, which was more than enough food with all the side dishes that came beforehand. The wide array of side dishes ensures there's something to enjoy for everyone! Personally I really liked the shrimp tempura! As for the sushi and sashimi itself, it was super fresh and almost melted in my mouth. The salmon which is my personal favorite was amazing, and if you're a sashimi enjoyer, I'd highly recommend you give Jeju a try!

I have tried Sashimi Combo, which has Salmon, Tuna, White Tuna in it. Those are all fresh. The dish surprised me is the Sea Squirt and Sea Cucumber. This is the first time I eat Sea Squirt, it taste soft but little bit fishy. I feel like in the ocean when I had a first bite on it. Lol. I love the sea cucumber sashimi, it's chewy and fresh. I love the crab meat pasta the most, it's creamy and little bit sweet. Overall, all dishes are okay. However, since it's fully occupied indoor, we have to seat at outdoor tent. There are heat set up around us, but it's still really cold. I'll recommend wait and be seated indoor.

The food was fantastic. I really can't begining to say how much I enjoyed it. I got the sashimi and seafood special for 2, soju and terra beer. We got soooo many delicious side dishes and I was definitely full by the time I left

The food is fresh, comes in large quantities, and the staff is very attentive and kind. The environment is very clean and cozy as well.

I came for the sea pineapple, but will be returning for the fresh sashimi and delicious Korean dishes. I thought I would pace myself and ordered some sashimi and sea pineapple Dupbab. What arrived was a wonderful assortment of sides, soup and sauces in addition to what I ordered that covered the entire table! Suddenly, a late lunch turned into a food eating challenge. I am not one to refuse extra food (though there are exceptions) so I dug in. About five crumpled napkins (fellow lightweights be forewarned: the spicy fish stew will make your nose run) and an hour later, I had conquered lunch, but fully expected the bill to tarnish my glory. To my surprise, the entire meal came in at under $50. There are restaurants that believe their food is good enough to neglect their quality of service. At Jeju-Island, the service matched the food in excellence. I will definitely be returning (with a full box of tissues).

Super fresh and fun! Enjoyed the different style of Banchan and service was spot on. It's a small place that almost feels like a cafeteria style. I enjoyed the homey feel. Good for groups & kids, too.

Jejudo Restaurant (or Jeju-Island) is a Jeju-style sashimi restaurant, uncommonly found in NYC. Those unfamiliar with this type of meal need to be open-minded and adventurous. Disclaimer, I'm adventurous for sure but not familiar with this style of meal. In Korea's Jeju island, there are many seafood restaurants that offer set meals accompanied by a rotating slew of side dishes and fresh, raw seafood of the day. Jejudo offers this type of set menu, which is the best thing to try. On the menu, it is one of the seafood combos where you choose size based on number of persons (e.g. $195 for 5, $170 for 4, $150 for 3, $120 for 2). We tried the "Sashimi Combo & Seafood," which came with a seemingly endless parade of side dishes, culminating in a show-stopping assortment of fresh sashimi (e.g., fluke, salmon, tuna, yellowtail) on mounds of shredded radish. It is more than enough food for most people, and I think choosing the size based on party size is reasonable. Our side dishes, which seemed to have no rhyme or reason, included eel teriyaki, grilled fish collar, conch salad, sweet and sour pork, tempura shrimp, creamed grilled corn, fish balls in soup, sautéed veggies, crab alfredo pasta, steamed egg custard, fried fish, and a tofu/radish stew. For raw fish offerings, there was salmon sushi, a medley of raw shellfish, and the sashimi platter, best had with a bit of soy and chili sauce, which all diners get and can mix to their liking. The raw seafood here is very fresh, really untouched or fussed with. By far, my favorite raw fish was the fluke, which is available on its own in the "Live Fish Sashimi & Seafood" combo. The side dishes were generally decent, and even if one isn't fond of a specific dish, quantities are small, just a piece or few bites per person. Soju is offered (not flavored ones). I had fun trying this style of Korean sashimi/seafood cuisine. Don't come if you're looking for refined raw seafood (a la Japanese omakase) or if you're with picky eaters who can't handle not knowing what's coming. But for an unfussy, relaxed, and satisfying shared group meal, Jeju-Island is a great experience.

'제주 오라방'이라는 이름이 생소하고 인테리어는 편안한 분위기지만... 여기서 회를 먹은 후에 다른 횟집은 더 이상 생각나지 않네요!! 음식들의 재료가 우선 너무 신선하구요... side dish 하나하나에도 정성을 들여 주시더군요. 뉴욕에서 이런 퀄리티의 횟집을 알게되서 정말 좋습니다!! 새로 바뀐 사장님이 참 정답고 친절하게 대해주셔서 저희 아이들도 좋아하더라구요~

Due to increased price on everything these days after the pandemic I guess restaurants have no choice but to increase their prices. Very understandable. Their side dishes were just ok. I would rather pay little more to get variety of side dishes when you order the sashimi set.

They are a seafood Korean restaurant. They have fresh live seafood that you can order from the tank. What most people seem to go their for are strangely from the "Lunch Special" menu plus their sushi menu. The lunch dishes are served all day and nite. They range from $8.99 to about $30. Our favorites are the Jejudo special, tempora udon, salmon teriyaki, eel teriyaki and salmon sashimi and salmon sushi combo. After ordering many items, we especially look forward to their pasta dish. It is amazing. I love how they make this better than most Italian restaurants!!! It's a white sauce with imitation crabmeat. Today I ordered an extra one during our meal and then ordered two pasta dishes to go after we were stuffed. My kids can never enough of it too. Their teriyaki sauce on their salmon and eel are very delicious as well.

they moved locations! but great service and the food hits close to home. loved! the food: i ordered the set menu of korean sashimi, not the entire sashimi variety set as the texture of korean sashimi is what i was craving! it comes with tons of appetizers including fresh seafood (sea squirt and more), and warm soups. i loved the variety of textures and dishes. the service: great! very attentive and keeps up with cleaning out the table to bring in more food. they were also accommodating to all of my questions and even provided a refill on the fish cake soup my party devoured.

Korean style sushi sets done right! Not sure if this spot is related to the old Jeju in Flushing (that sadly shut down), but so glad it popped up. We got the set with five different kinds of sashmi ($80 for two people, second option on the set menu), which came w salmon, tuna, yellow tail, mackrel w roe, and a white fish that I didn't recognize, and fluke. We were STUFFED to the gils... There was an assortment of sekidashi (side dishes) such as creamed corn, clam linguine, california rolls, shrimp tempura (my favorite), porridge, fish cake soup, etc. After everything you get a hot seafood stew that is so delicious but kind of impossible to finish bc of all the food you just ate. Def recommend coming if you're hungry and like seafood!

Definitely come as a group so you get to try all the food amd seafood. We opted for the sashimi set which comes to $60+ per person after tax and tip. The amount and variety of food is breathtaking lol not only did it fill up the table, we didn't have enough space for the sashimi when it came out. We also saw people with seafood pot that looked good. Recommend for Korean sushi!

Come hungry! Came here for a family lunch and the ban chan that's served with the set was unlike any I experienced before! They provide what seems like a never ending assortment of side dishes (some can even be considered meals alone) and we were all very satisfied. The sashimi was super fresh and delicious. The staff were also pleasant and patient as we enjoyed our meal. Definitely worth a visit!

This place moved since the last time we came. Like last time the full menu is in Korean with the staff speaking minimal English. We ordered what was most popular according to the limited Korean and English between us and the wait staff. We were pleasantly surprised. We ordered the meal for 4 and tons of food came out immediately. Overall fish was super fresh and good.

Wow, they give you a lot of food especially lunch time. They are running a buy one get one roll for the rest of this year i think. Amazing quality, fresh fish, soups all taste great. Really amazing to see this quality and quantity all in one sushi spot. Highly recommend u come in and order the lunch special sets. This place is my number one for sushi now.

Never knew this place existed because it's tucked away in one of the not so busy areas of flushing. I got a few platters to go and the food was great! The seafood was super fresh and neatly prepared. We also got a few side dishes like cheesy corn, eel, seafood pasta, fried shrimp and seafood broth and miso soup. Everything paired well with each other and it was overall a great experience. The waitress was also super nice as she helped me bring all the food to my car. If you want to support a local Asian seafood place, please come here!

Good hwe and good service as well. Price is really good esp w side dishes included. Beer is cheap also

Limited but quality menu selection of fresh seafood for a fair price. Get their combos for 2-3 which can feed 4-6 people for sure. Lots of side dishes are offered as a part of the combo as well.

Seriously great service and sashimi fresh and delicious, various side dishes were great also.. The staff was really friendly and customer friendly. Not to mention the restroom was clean as well. BIG THUMBS UP.

Place has the best korean sashimi in town. Love the shrimp and other appetizers . Def recommend halibut and also abalone.

I drove up from Philly to try this place. Everything was old and not fresh. The sashimi was frozen then served still semi frozen. We spent 400 for terrible sashimi

Ordered Togo due to not feeling 100 comfortable dining in due to covid. Wow I must say- I was pretty amazed at the amount of food we got. There was a lot of side dishes and the hwe platter was not Stingy. I saved the side dishes to bring as my lunch to work the next day haha the fish seemed pretty fresh even though the weather is getting really hot and humid. I think I paid $110? Ish for it- forgot the exact amount but the amount of food you get is worth it. I shared it with 2 other people and we were full and had to force ourselves to finish it since we don't like eating fish the next day (Incase it goes back overnight) I saw the inside of the restaurant when I went to go pick it up and it seemed kinda small but they did outdoor dining. Seemed pretty socially distant so if I eat from here again- would try the outdoor dining. If you're in for some fresh sashimi/sushi for a reasonable price- this is the place to go!

People who don't want to ruin their mood don't go here. It says it's open at 11am. but never go at that time. They not prepared until 12pm at all. And they don't welcome customers. The waitress and the guy in the sushi section don't say hello at all. They don't look at me even I call to them. The service to the guests is surprisingly poor. I don't want to go here and pay my precious money to eat while being treated like that. The service mind was horrible.

Charmisu fresh. 10/10 Tuna taste like cardboard... P.S. the waitress is super nice..........

Excellent service at this moderately priced Korean-Japanese seafood spot. I do wish that they would be clearer on pricing: there seems to be multiple menus including various specials for the same items all running at once. Maybe simplify your menu and your pricing?

I came on a Saturday for my dad's birthday and it was empty besides one or two other tables. I'm not really head over heels for Korean hwe but my parents wanted it so this is what we opted for. We got the combo that serves 3 people for the 4 of us and it was enough for us. They serve a lot of different small dishes and the entire portion was great. One of them included raw oysters and I freaking love raw oysters but the ones they served were a bit fishy. I still ate two anyway thinking it wasn't too bad. WRONG. I ended up getting the worst food poisoning of my life a day later and my parents also ended up getting a little sick as well. I knew it was from the oysters because the only one who didn't eat the oysters was my boyfriend and he didn't get sick. We shared everything else so it had to be the oysters. So my mom called the restaurant and let them know that we got food poisoning and they didn't do anything. All they said was, "no one else called in for food poisoning". Seriously? I was literally vomiting and was on the toilet simultaneously all night when it kicked in and I thought I was literally about to die. I was in so much pain I couldn't even work for two days. They didn't even have the decency to give us a refund and brushed it off because "no one else reported it". Never coming back here again.

Service was wonderful and food was fresh and delicious!! They provided a separate room for 9 of us.

I got the 4 people meal set and it came with a lot of dishes for the price. The cooked dishes (not the sashimi) are all very good and satisfying. The raw seafood that came with abalones were also very fresh and delicious. 3 star because the ones with the live fish were ok as I expected a lot since is the main dish. It didn't feel fresh and was way too chewy that at point, you cant even digest it but you have to swallow it to digest it.

Super fresh seafood, but a bit overpriced and portion is not big. I still need to find a dessert place to fill up after splurging almost $200 in this place

so fresh and delicious. even something as basic as california maki is taken to the next level. perfect sushi rice. amazing sashimi
