Restaurant Jueun

a culinary gem in seoul. not on any awards list yet but i suspect it may be on it soon. do yourself a favour and book a meal here while tables are still within reach and without a long waitlist :)

Impeccable tasting course. Various elements of Korea such as history, ingredients, tradition, and the chef's personal story were woven into the experience. We enjoyed every dish.

Today's lunch was a very special experience, and I had an unforgettable meal at Jueun, a top-class Korean fine dining restaurant. The modern yet luxurious atmosphere of the restaurant was perfect for a date or to celebrate a special day. The date was printed on the menu, which gave a very detailed impression. In particular, the chef's special course stood out with its delicate plating and fresh seasonal ingredients for each menu. The Japchae was truly exquisite. It broke the stereotype of existing Japchae and was a traditional Korean Japchae without noodles, and the sesame oil flavor was more than enough to stimulate the appetite. The friendly service of the staff was also impressive. The alcohol was also recommended through pairing with the food, and it went well together. If you want a special experience for a special day, I highly recommend it. 전 한식 파인 다이닝이라는 신세계를 여기서 첨 봤어요. 진심 후회하지 않는 경험과 맛을 잊지 못할듯 합니다.

Very satisfactory, just what we were looking for - a high end taste of Korean food! The staff were very professional and well taught. The food was very delicate, and the staff explained the meals very well, and in english as well! I forgot to take the pictures of a few dishes but they were all very pleasing to the eye and tongue. A nice experience!

Jueun serves honest traditional Korean royal cuisine and exposes diners to the lifestyle of yangban. Impeccable cooking with top seasonal produce. Every dish was on point and exquisitely plated in crafted ceramics, yugi and chilgi crockery by various artisans. While dining be entertained by the animated arts on three large screens. The printed menu is comprehensive. Besides explaining the dishes, it details out the names of artisans who crafted the furniture, crockery, digital art for the restaurant. Ambience is elegant and cosy minimalist. Service is attentive and cordial. Wine pairing is interesting with a combination of champagne, wines and traditional Korean sool to complement each course.

Went there on a Wednesday noon for lunch and made reservations through catchtable global. Very welcoming and friendly staff who spoke well English. The food was elevated from your ordinary Korean dishes with the ingredients and some backstory with each dish you are presented with before you eat it.The menu is seasonal so I went there during autumn so maybe the dishes will be different but trust me it’s worth the visit! If you want to be introduced to Korean food or introduce someone to Korean flavors I guarantee that this is the place you need to be at! If you have any dietary restrictions you need to update them at least 24 hours before your visit!

By far the best meal I had in Korea. Each course of the tasting menu (there is no a la carte) was divine. Beautiful to look at and wonderful to eat. How this place does not have at east one Michelin star I do not know. Splendid last night in Seoul. Very highly recommended.

Fantastic meal! Chef deserves 3 michelin stars. Its not only amazing in flavor but at the same time very balanced and healthy meal. Congrats 🙌
