Zero Complex

ZERO COMPLEX | SEOUL 🇰🇷🍽️ One of the few Seoul restaurants that has consistently retained their Michelin Star over the years. And what a treat - because the restaurant was exquisite. It’s more than just a buzz - you actually get peace and privacy. That’s priceless in our modern society. Trivia: it’s called Zero Complex because Chef Lee Chung-hu loves the number zeroes. As simple as that. ZERO COMPLEX | SEOUL | ONE MICHELIN STAR Zero Complex is the home of chef Lee Chung-hu’s innovative, French-inspired neo-bistro. The tasting menu really showcases his mantle in exhibiting his food vision with personality and paying homage to his Korean roots - weaved into French inspired creations. The dining room itself is unadulteratedly stripped back, with plenty of space between the tables and wooden chairs. In there, the space and quiet speaks volume. Service was prompt, professional and not intrusive. Staff was also able to give great wine recommendations and have ample knowledge about the vision of the chef, food and restaurant. Be prepared to find yourself in an inconspicuous neighborhood where the restaurant is located. Which adds to its allure and charm.

It took a while to adjust to the vibe here. Very austere, in keeping with the decor, and a stark contrast to all my other Seoul dining experiences to date. It was exciting to actually find the venue, hidden in an alley down an alley down an alley! Other than the sterile vibe and lack of non alcoholic options which I like to enjoy between multiple glasses of wine (zero complex theme I assume), I cannot fault the food. I don’t think I have ever enjoyed every single dish in a degustation, until today. I also enjoyed bok choy for the first time! 🥬In keeping with the zero complex theme, there were no tea choices when it came time for tea or coffee. That said, the tea I was given was excellent. In summary, this is a menu where it is completely impossible to choose a favourite dish. They were all incredible creations. Would I return? I was leaning towards no, at least not alone again. However I am quite in awe that they managed to make each dish incredible so I would definitely have to see what they do in a few months time. If you are thinking of visiting, I would recommend it but please be happy to focus purely on the food. Overall I think I am happy to have visited! I scored 4 and not 5 because I think they could add a liiiiiitle bit of warmth to the service or at least the welcome, without taking away from their zero complex theme 🤍 NB I loved the music they had playing for Christmas! 🎼🎄💗

I visited zero complex yesterday for dinner and suddenly this restaurant became one of my favorites. The location is completely unexpected, a modern villa in a residential area, all made out of marble, glass, and steel. Be careful it's not easy to find in the middle of the local houses, and the taxi driver will drop you off at the edge of the block because street here aren't large enough for cars to pass through. The dinner was exciting and equilibrated. The staff was prepared and welcoming. The sommelier seemed to be very passionate. The only minus is that I'd like to have a little more wine in my glasses. And, clearly, it's very high priced - 450KW for the dinner with the wine pairing. But considering the restaurant has only 3 tables, it's kinda reasonable.

Zero complex was an enjoyable meal and way to spend a birthday celebration. The decor and space felt clean, modern and intimate. Some of the dishes weren’t quite to my personal taste, but it was great to try new flavour combinations. In one of the courses my fish was slightly raw in the centre and I’m still not sure if that was intentional, but it was tasty nonetheless. I do think compared to some of the other Michelin-starred establishments I’ve dined at, it felt like less attention was paid towards the “X factor” of the meal. Overall, it was a lovely evening though!

I think this restaurant is one of the best and I have a high level of expectation because I always go to 1 star Michelin restaurant all over the world ( Singapore, Geneva, Bangkok and Annecy, France and many others place…) and only one point that can be better is the bread and the decoration but for my side, I do not come for the decoration but for the food and this place really is amazing because of the high level of the quality of the food and I also love the minimalist style and the cooking of the fish and meat were excellent ! I think 1 star Michelin is really well deserve this wonderful fine cuisine and moreover, the service was so great with kindness and perfection 👏Waou thank you to serve such an excellent experience with you and please continue because I will definitely come back soon 💝

best dinner in Michelin guide 1 star restaurant. they were kindly described about each dish and give a tip for how to eat. they also have a wine menu paper too listed by white, red, local and etc. they also help to choose a wine that paring to dishes.

It is nice and carefully prepared in details. But the portion is small and too minimalistic to make it as a special occasion at a Michelin restaurant. Four stars minus one as a result of high pricing :(

Lovely restaurant situated on the third floor of an art gallery in the middle of nowhere. The abalone tart and beef tenderloin were very good. The yogurt with pears and herbs was an interesting combination that is very memorable.
