The yellowtail kimbap was one of the most sensational experiences I have had. Service was attentive.
Be the first to ReplyLoved Jungsik! Superb service and well-paced, delicious
Loved Jungsik! Superb service and well-paced, delicious meal. Came here for their valentine's day menu and the meal started off strong with their amuse-bouche, which was arguably my favorite part of the meal. Of the mains, my favorites were the latter half: the arctic char was absolutely to die for and came in the most delicious emulsion, the black cod was extremely soft and melted in my mouth, the yellowtail kimbap was not only fun to eat but the nori was crunchy and the fish and rice were so fresh, and the galbi was amazingly tender. My only complaint from the mains was I found the octopus to be a tad bit too oily for my preference. As for the desserts, my favorite by far was the chestnut tart. It was creamy, filled with such a variety of textures, filling without feeling overly heavy in taste. A dessert heaven!
Be the first to ReplyI did not know what to expect from a 2 Michelin star Korean
I did not know what to expect from a 2 Michelin star Korean named restaurant. I couldn't fathom how Korean food could be elevated to Michelin star status. We were celebrating our anniversary and looking forward to an upscale experience. Upon entry, we were seated at a corner table. The decor was understated, clean and elegant. I felt prepared for a refined dining experience. The waitstaff was attentive but not overbearing. We decided to do one alcoholic pairing and one nonalcoholic pairing. A different drink came with each dish on the tasting menu. It was interesting that there were nonalcoholic "wines". The sommelier explained each drink. Although the wines were nice, in hindsight I would probably have opted for a couple of cocktails instead as I clearly could not fully enjoy the entire pours of each wine. The tasting menu had 7 savory dishes and 3 sweet. There were also items you can add at an additional cost. I very much enjoyed each dish but my favorite was the arctic char. We had also noted that I have an allergy to strawberries. There was a mixup which they realized afterwards. Thankfully I was okay but they were profusely apologetic and even brought out the truffle cone (which was on the add on menu) as a service which we were so fortunate to try. Every dish was seasoned perfectly, the service was impeccable and the ambiance was perfect. The only thing I want to comment further is, please do not come here expecting traditional Korean food, usually signified by KBBQ. There were aspects alluding to Korean cuisine, such as reference to banchan which means small side dish, a reinvented version of the steamed egg dish, kimbap, a hint of white kimchi...being Korean, I associate Korean food with hearty comfort foods. We did not leave hungry but this was definitely not KBBQ. Come here to enjoy an upgraded, refined, French influenced tasting menu.
Be the first to ReplyUnbelieveable tasting menu with first class service.
Can not say enough about each and every course. Absolutely unique and spectacular. Worth every penny.
Be the first to ReplyEvery year wifey and I try to have a really special dinner
Every year wifey and I try to have a really special dinner for our anniversary and this year, 2 Michelin star Jungsik. The restaurant is named for its founder/chef Yim Jung Sik, and although it is considered a Korean restaurant, the food is unlike any Korean food I have ever eaten. The techniques that are used on dishes like the octopus where the suction cups are very charred and crispy but the meat is so tender and juicy, to the kimpap where the seaweed shell is fried to a hard crispy shell, to the squid amuse bouche that is a ball of absolute deliciousness! We enjoyed every bite of food. I will not bother listing everything we had because i posting the personalized menu they gave us at the end with a list of (almost) everything we had. They did not include the truffle cone dessert that was added or the special sweet creamy dollop that came on a personalized anniversary dish. I am not a huge fan of truffle so I was worried the dessert would be too truffle, but that turned out to be my favorite dessert dish and probably in my top 3 bites of the night. Wife did the wine pairings and I did the non-alcoholic drink pairings. Some of their pours were very generous so I wound up having to finish my wife's drinks. Such a sacrifice ! In addition to the amazing food and drinks, we had an amazing host for the night in Allegra! She watched over us all night and made this dinner so special that we will never forget it! Jungsik deserves all their stars and more!

They managed a large party with the utmost perfection.
Be the first to ReplyPresentation and service was excellent.
Unfortunately for a 2 Michelin restaurant, I'd expected the food to blow my mind but it didn't. It's not that the food wasn't good but there wasn't really anything on the menu that made me feel like the flavors were truly unique and exceptional (except for the pastry that looked like a real carrot). The food was cooked well though - the octopus was really moist. I wish there was more of an innovative experience on traditional Korean dishes but it felt like there was only the soup and the kimbap. Since this was the most I've paid for at a restaurant, I expected the experience to match the price point but it did not.
Be the first to ReplyA classic spot to try a Korean fusion tasting menu.
There were some of the same dishes from the menu at Jungsik in Seoul from a couple years ago. Overall though, we enjoyed almost all of the courses, and portions were definitely enough. We were very full by the end of the meal.

What a great dinner, from the beginning to the end of our experience everything was phenomenal.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing experience through and through.
Personally, I probably do not have anything extra to add compared to what is already on this page of reviews, but just wanted to go on the record as well!Each dish had its own unique charm, and my favorite was the octopus dish. If you are in the market for fine dining and have not tried Jungsik, do yourself a favor and go!
Be the first to ReplyJungsik gave me the best meal I've ever had.
Instead of adhering to the typical Michelin faux-pas of overemphasis on avant-garde cooking techniques, Jungsik focuses on taking ordinary Korean dishes and bringing out avant-garde flavor in simple, masterful ways. The service was perfect, the atmosphere was quaint, every dish was delicious, and I fully recommend Jungsik. Absolutely incredible.
Be the first to ReplyI dropped nearly one grand for a party of two here and I
I dropped nearly one grand for a party of two here and I still felt it was worth it.We stopped by for a birthday and WOW, was I surprised by the experience. EVERY single dish was exceptional. On service, it was impeccable, they were attentive throughout the experience. Not just one wait staff, but ALL the staff was attentive. Table was cleaned after each dish, and water was tipped off. Each dish was explained in detail. Can't say enough about the staff, they were all stars. On food, I'll say it again, each dish stood on its own. They were all amazing. I could not find fault with any one dish, even though I searched long and hard. They nailed it in both presentation and flavor. Some dishes looked so beautifully simple but packed nuanced tastes, where your mind expects something, you get something else, and that something else is better than what your mind could conjure up. The flavors were there in its complexity and branding. I don't want to call out any one dish since they were all amazing, but I suppose, the most memorable for me was the 1/ panchan at the beginning with the assortment of small dishes. The traditional Korean soup dish which was elevated to infinity, where I would love to get my hands on the recipe. The experience of eating the hand-roll kimbap, taking ordinary food and making it best in class. The crisp on the seaweed was perfect. And then concluding on the savory with the steak was melt in your mouth delish. The desert, 3 courses of it all were a great conclusion. If I had to be nip-picky, perhaps the drinks (we had 4 cocktails) were on the more expensive side but typical of what you could get in high-end cocktail places in NYC.On decor, it was clean and simple. The seats were comfortable, the utensils were purposeful. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant. Bring your special someone here, they will love you.
Be the first to ReplyJungsik was on my must-visit list, and I was thrilled that
Jungsik was on my must-visit list, and I was thrilled that we made it there on my last trip to NYC. The restaurant offers a modern and contemporary take on Korean cuisine, presenting traditional Korean dishes in a fresh and exciting way.Although we left early, our driver had trouble navigating the city, and we arrived 12 minutes late for our reservation. However, the team at Jungsik was incredibly accommodating, and we were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived. After settling into our seats, I relaxed with a pour of amaro and a glass of champagne, and I felt ready to embark on a culinary journey through Korea.The dining room was well-lit and tastefully decorated, with tables spaced comfortably apart. The service was attentive and personalized, with our server quickly noticing that I was left-handed and resetting my place setting accordingly. They even inquired about my preference for using a knife.The signature menu comprised nine courses, with the first course featuring five modern takes on banchan. Each dish was exquisitely plated and full of meaning, creating a truly elevated and memorable dining experience. We opted for all the items from the seasonal supplement menu, including sea urchin bibimbap, squab, and two desserts. The in-house sommelier was incredibly helpful, providing excellent wine and cocktail pairing suggestions to complement our meal.Overall, Jungsik was one of the highlights of my trip to NYC. The restaurant's modern take on Korean cuisine, combined with the impeccable service and thoughtful touches, made for a truly unforgettable dining experience.
Be the first to Reply// SummaryWho knew a luxurious and modern take on Korean
// SummaryWho knew a luxurious and modern take on Korean food would be so rewarding? Jungsik will absolutely blow your mind.// ExperienceI'll be honest - I had no idea what to expect with a more modern, high-end Korean dining experience, especially because I love traditional Korean food made by those Korean grandmas. But as soon as I got the first course, I knew I was in for a wonderful evening. The creativity around each dish was magnificent, as they took traditional Korean dishes and brought them to a whole different level. Each course flowed so well into the next along with their pairings. The A5 wagyu kalbi was simply a taste of heaven. I just remember leaving the entire experience with a joyful contentment.// ServiceAs you might expect, the service was superb. One of the things that I noticed was how highly knowledgeable each person was with respect to the course or the pairing. Sometimes I got one of their sommeliers, and other times it was one of their many waitstaff. No matter who it was, the items were described with a passionate expertise that conveyed how much they wanted you to enjoy the culinary masterpiece.// AmbianceThe restaurant itself exudes classiness - but not necessarily in a way that would make you feel uncomfortable if you came with a simple button-up and nice jeans (but maybe you'd feel out of place with raggedy jeans). It's got that nice romantic mood lighting, if you want to have a great vibe to celebrate something special - or just because it's a Wednesday.// ConvenienceI booked a reservation as soon as I could when I knew I was heading to NYC for work, and I'm glad I did. But I also noticed that I accidentally booked the wrong type of reservation (bar vs. table - their bar seems to be more of the a la carte experience as opposed to the tasting menu). I emailed them to get my reservation updated, and they responded relatively quickly.
Be the first to ReplyIf I could give Jungsik 6 stars I would.
This still stands out as one of the best meals I've had and they are well deserving of their acclaim.I came here with my partner for my birthday dinner and their service was just perfect. They noticed my partner is left handed and offered to mirror his cutlery placement for him, which they maintained throughout the night. Their take on banchan was unforgettable. My partner and I still talk about the squid ink ball (pictured towards the bottom of the banchan photo). It was the perfect burst of flavor and we were tempted to ask if we could have more of just the squid ball! Of course, everything else was so delicious and surprising. The octopus, one of their most famous dishes, was perfectly chewy and balanced. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, but I loved it. Truly, everything was SO delicious. I barely have anything more to add, simply because each dish was really just that tasty. Chef Yim Jung Sik and his entire team did a stellar job. I will be back!
Be the first to ReplyA perfect combination of service and food.
Professional and knowledgeable staff that's doting and happy to be at work. Beautifully plated and crafted food cooked to near perfection hitting all the right taste buds as it enters your mouth. I'd take a star away because you never feel like the portions are enough, but for obvious reason, this is not the place to expect that. Can't wait to be back for another fantastic special meal!
Be the first to ReplyI think high end Asian food is a massively underrated in
I think high end Asian food is a massively underrated in nyc. People call Le Bernardin the best seafood restaurant in NYC, but I don't think they have been to Jungsik. I've never had fish as masterfully prepared as here. And I've eaten at a lot of places. The uni, the fish made in this delicate soy sauce, the Galbi... Omg take me back now. Absolutely loved this for a special occasion.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the most incredible meals I've had.
Thank you George for the great service. Will be back. Everything was top notch. Will be back over and over !
Be the first to ReplyCame here for solo dining on a Wednesday night.
It wasn't too busy, and since I was by myself I actually managed to snag a reservation the only two nights before! When I got in, they immediately checked my coat, backpack (I had come straight from work), and umbrella -- and throughout the night, the service was great and attentive. Since I had come by myself and it was a less busy night, I think they had a couple waitstaff in training, which was pretty cool to see. As a result, I didn't have just one waiter throughout the evening, but was served dishes by multiple servers over the course of the meal (which I didn't mind, but was definitely an interesting experience!).Of course, the food was the most important part of the experience, and it definitely didn't disappoint! We started off with the fantastic (though strangely arranged) banchan, and I really enjoyed the brioche + beef tartare as well as the egg soufflé, which was cheekily served in an egg shell.I want to list highlights, but every time I start listing them in my head I end up listing almost the entire menu! That being said, I especially enjoyed the octopus, langoustine, and the squab out of the main entrées. Everything was good, but those definitely stood out as the best! The sauce that came with the octopus complimented it very well, and I think I got so excited after the octopus that I forgot to take a picture of the next course (hence why there's no picture of the thornyhead :')). I had been to Jua before I came here, and the langoustine was very reminiscent of one of the pieces that I had had there, with a strong sauce that went perfectly with the fish. I think my favorite was probably the squab, although it's hard to say. I paid extra for this since it was a supplement, but I really enjoyed it, as the meat was super juicy and flavorful and the vegetables and dressing were also delicious.Between the entrées and desserts, they served a persimmon dish as a palate cleanser. It did its job perfectly, with a really light and refreshing taste.Out of the desserts, I really liked the black truffle chocolate (which was super cute and shaped like a pinecone), but I also really enjoyed the "carrot" (carrot shaped white chocolate with carrot cake inside) + salted black sesame ice cream. Again, it's hard to pick favorites, because the hodugwaja was also great. I think the chocolate pinecone stood out because it honestly tasted like a hot chocolate but in a pastry. I didn't feel like the black truffle added anything taste-wise though, which might be my only criticism of the entire meal.One question I saw a few times online was whether to go to Jungsik, Atomix, or Jua. I haven't tried Atomix yet, but there are very clear similarities between Jungsik and Jua as I mentioned above. I would say the flavor profile of these two restaurants is very close, with Jungsik potentially having more nuance(?) in flavor while Jua is a bit more bold. Jua also had more of a "shock factor" for me since it was my first time trying a restaurant by Hoyoung Kim, and really blew my mind -- which resulted in Jungsik not being as mind-blowing because the palate is somewhat similar, and also less bold. If you're newer to fine dining or are on a tighter budget, Jua would probably be a good starting point to see if you want to make the jump. Jungsik is definitely a more elevated experience though, so if you have the budget for it, I would recommend giving it a try, too!
Be the first to ReplyAmazing meal from start to finish! Loved the atmosphere,
Amazing meal from start to finish! Loved the atmosphere, decor and the service was top notch. We had their signature tasting menu, 7 course and we were stuffed! We added an additional special which was sea urchin bibimbap. The sea urchin was fresh and sweet and portion was pretty big, worth the $$$$. Service was hospitable and friendly. Presentation was imaginative and beautiful. Great overall 5 star dining experience.
Be the first to ReplyUnderstated entrance.
I've walked by many times not realizing it was there. When you walk in, they take your coat and walk you to your table. Soft lighting with light color wood is very relaxing. Oscar greeted us and introduced us to the menu. He said he normally doesn't because he wants it to be surprised, but he wanted to make sure I could eat everything. He's very animated, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. He took drink orders and asked if we wanted to add any dishes. We decided to add the uni bibimbap for $75. We started with the 5 piece amuse which looked like museum pieces on their pedestals. Each had subtle delicate flavors and textures. My favorite was the egg as it reminded me of chawanmushi. Next was langoustine and foie I think. The foie was absolutely delicious. Next was octopus which was better than any I've ever had. Tender with some crunch chewiness on the outside. The abalone samgyetang was a warm comforting soup that I could eat a whole bowl of. Next was the uni bibimbap which was creamy and tasty but not my favorite. I thought it was a little bitter but my friend didn't detect it so I chalked it up to my cold I was recovering from. Next was thornyhead which reminded me of miso cod. It was fatty, salty and sweet. Yellowtail kimbap was fun to eat. Somehow the seaweed remained crunchy the whole time and you put the sashimi on top. I really enjoyed the texture and taste of this dish but found the rice a tad salty. The last savory dish was the galbi with cold noodle. Wow. Tender beef with chewy cold noodles. The palate cleanser was persimmon two ways. It was cold, sweet and refreshing. I was looking forward to dessert the entire time because I had seen other tables approached with a box of "dirt" and they pick their own "carrot" which is actually carrot cake. A whimsical and delicious dessert. Then they brought over a bowl of walnuts but two were hodugwaja which were walnut cakes filled with cream. Really really tasty. Finally the petit four were adorably tiny confections- kumquat (my fav), macaron and some kind of cake. Overall, a very memorable meal. From my experiences, I'd rate the service in the top 3. Timing was perfect. Food was reimagined and delicious. Staff were in sync and knowledgeable. The ambiance was inviting. This is an experience worth having at least once in a lifetime if you can afford it.
Be the first to ReplyIt was a great experience dining here! The service was
It was a great experience dining here! The service was amazing and I felt like they tried their best to make us comfortable. The servers constantly checked up on us and told us about each food that was served to us. I came here with my boyfriend for our anniversary celebration and we both got the signature menu. The menu included osetra caviar, scallop, octopus, goldeneye snapper, tuna kimbap, galbi, and baby banana. In addition, it came with small starters and mini desserts. They replaced the fish for me with another fish because of allergies reasons. That was very considerate for them.When it came to the baby banana, they decorated my plate with "happy anniversary" and it came with a candle. However, my boyfriend wan't too happy because he did not get the same treatment. I think that was the only downside we had. The atmosphere was wonderful and food tasted great. The portions are small but we expected it. I was still hungry after eating the signature menu. This place is expensive, so I would only go if it is to celebrate for something extremely special. I recommend this place if you want to celebrate with someone special.

This is the best fine dining Korean restaurant I've eaten at so far. It's kind of a fusion of French and Korean food with Korean flavors and French techniques. Every single course was amazing and I want to return again soon!

Food is not bad but definitely not worth the hype or the price. The portion was too small and the dessert was totally underwhelming. The only thing that impressed me was the amouse bouche but everything else afterwards was just normal. It's good food but not michelin star quality. Also, please control your guests. We were dining next to a table of guests who were definitely too drunk. yelling and smashing table the whole time which definitely ruined the ambiance.
