"Zero Complex returns for its third season, moving to an unexpected location in Dongbingodong, a quiet residential neighborhood in the heart of Seoul. With more than a decade of time and experience under his belt, this time around, the Korean chef presents his take on Western-Korean French. His dishes are still creative and simple, inspired by his favorite Korean dishes but with a French twist. Come experience their new third act." - Michelin Inspector

Our family made a dinner reservation here last minute and was honestly not expecting much. However, the entire meal absolutely blew our minds and we had such a wonderful time. Every dish was extremely creative and unique, ingredients used paired very well with each other and throughout the meal, we did not have one bad dish at all. Though some might find the menu to be a little small with only 5 courses, we found ourselves being at the right amount of full and satisfied at the end of it. Staff were really friendly and great English-speakers. Only downside is that the location is quite obscure and might need a little effort to find and it is not wheelchair/elderly-friendly as the main dining room is located on the second level with no elevator. Nonetheless, would definitely revisit!

I had a blissful time here this past weekend. It is the first Michelin Restaurant I've been to since I existed, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. I had my solo post-Valentines date there. As you enter the establishment you're greeted by the chef and then directed to your assigned table. You can feel the stillness, peace and relaxation atmosphere as soon as you enter through the outside gate. The waiter that was assigned to me was very gentle and kind (I think he knew it was my first experience because of how nervous I was).The staff were very kind and informative of every dish. And, for every dish I had, I did a little dance. I am tremendously grateful that he was accepting of me taking a video for every dish he put on the table. Thank you Zero Complex for your existence. 10/10 would recommend

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! 🎼🎄💗

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.

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.

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 💝

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.

This should not be a Michelin star restaurant even though the esthetic of the place is neat. Before coming, We emailed to let them know that my friend is allergic to nuts. However that didn’t stop them of giving her two dishes that could have killed her because they contained nuts. Fortunately, my friend asked about it before eating every dish and they confirmed there were nuts in them. They took our drinks off the check but that didn’t make our experience as delightful as it should be for the price of the meals we had to pay. There are plenty other better restaurants in Seoul .
