Jeju serves elevated Korean food. We arrived at 5:15pm on a Tuesday and the restaurant was already full so we added our name to the wait list. We waited around 30mins before getting seated. Our favourite dish was by far the spot prawn crudo. It had a perfect balance and acidity. The prawns were also super fresh! For mains, we ordered the bulgogi and the ribs. Both were good but nothing that blew me away. The pear juice was also very good. Overall great experience and worth a visit in tofino!

The best Korean food I’ve had. I got the Bulgogi bowl. Wow.. the favours all melted together so well; the bulgogi, mushrooms and rice, all tied together with Parmesan and seafood crisps.

The spicy tuna poke bowl wash delicious as well, the tuna melted in my mouth with every bite.

The K.F.C. Lettuce wraps were delicious as well. Chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and I love the pickled radish that came with it.

The pear juice was a refreshing additional to the meal, I’d love it if they can blend it with sparkling water to give it a little extra razzle dazzle.

JEJU has the best Korean food I have eaten outside of Korea. The galbi is simply amazing. Just know you will smell that meat on the fire long before you get to taste it so your mouth will be watering in anticipation. The side dishes are equally excellent. Service is welcoming and friendly. This is a must visit every trip.

Waited for almost 2 hours in front of the restaurant, then our name on the waiting list was skipped. When asked, the waitress had crossed us off „by accident“. No apologies. Food was ok not great.

came in as a walk in on a sunday night and called ahead to see if they could seat us. server said they were good for 2 but to hurry - needless to say, we arrived in 5 mins and we had to get on the waiting list. they said to expect 30 mins but called back under 10 to sit down. seeing the turnover that quick is a good sign of good service.

this family restaurant is an amazing place to go to, with very welcoming / friendly staff and atmosphere with a traditional menu from the mother, and modern twists from the son. we ordered the mandu dumplings and braised tofu to start with the soondobu and short ribs as our mains. this truly is a traditional korean restaurant that pushes dishes to a modern twist and definitely pulls it off. the servers are very accommodating and the atmosphere is very comfortable with thoughtful design, especially when seeing this mother/son duo absolutely killing it in the kitchen. will definitely come back again and is an absolute gem in tofino.

The place has a great vibe and the service was fantastic. Unfortunately that's where the good points end. We didn't get the galbi but the dishes we did get were very underwhelming. Both the bibimbap and bulgogi were just ok, both lacking a punch especially the bulgogi. The baby back ribs were tender but also plain in flavor. Maybe the galbi would've been great but from what we ordered we weren't impressed.

So delicious. We got the delight of having both mum and son in the kitchen. The portions were large and delicious. We were lucky to get a spot after they called a reservation and didn’t answer but it seems like they are very busy all the time. Our waitress was lovely and so knowledgeable about the menu.

This was our favorite meal in Tofino! We all agreed that the Sung Style Ribs were the best ribs we’ve ever had. Everything was delicious and the staff was so nice. The ambiance of the restaurant was also phenomenal. Absolutely recommend!

this is one of the few Asian restaurants in Tofino so naturally it’s super busy. if you can, do reserve in advance. we put our name on the waitlist and waited for around an hour on a weekend dinner time.

we ordered the mandu appetizer, bulgogi and Sung’s style rib. the mandu was okay, the bulgogi has a fushion touch to it with tempura nori and something of a truffle dip, it’s very different from a regular bulgogi and worth a try if you’re into fushion cuisine. i personally liked the ribs the most because it’s very hearty, the meat was tender. seasoning is just right, not too salty like some Korean places i’ve been to, def recommend this place! it has a good vibe too—servers are nice.
