“We serve 120 guests a night-roughly 110 of them will order ramen. We have to serve 110 bowls of the perfect noodles, every time.” Douglas Kim, owner and chef of Michelin-starred Jeju Noodle Bar in New York, leads us behind the scenes for an all-access look at how the staff keeps the noodles flowing and the standards impeccably high.

  • Dishwasher is legit as important as anyone else in the kitchen. No clean dishes means no food goes out.

    • 27 years in the buisness/ the best run kitchens treat the dish staff properly. Not a job that people like to do. The most important part of the kitchen imo. I treat dish staff better than I do anyone else. People always wonder how I get my pots, pans and other necessities before everyone else.

  • Never worked in a Ramen shop but ate at plenty. My ultimate criterion is: are the noodles cooked perfectly and is the soup super hot. Those two things are very hard to marry as the cook time and service window are SO small... probably less than 30 seconds. 🤔 Enjoyed seeing you explain that, great show tyvm!

    • @@kanglee6066 Bc then it will take up much more space in the restaurant, and we know NYC restaurants are incredibly small. There is a NYC ramen purveyor that customizes ramen for each client and delivers to restaurants regularly. So you are definitely getting fresh and an original ramen recipe according to the restaurant's needs/wants.
