Jungsik التقييمات

My favourite Korean fine dining restaurant in nyc

Excellent food, excellent service, the staff is very professional and well trained, this is one of my favourite restaurants!

Exceptional service, probably best I've ever had. They didn't miss a beat, and even asked if I was a lefty after the banchan and flipped the cutlery placement for later courses. Can't say I've been asked that before. Food also exceptional. Banchan, octopus, fish courses, kimbap, and galbi were all very flavorful. Galbi was like butter. Definitely a worthwhile experience.

I’ve been to Jungsik 4X. The Michelin people just awarded them the third star, the first 3 star award in NYC in 12 years, and the first Korean restaurant to receive 3 stars in the USA. I sincerely hope this does not mean that from now on reservation will be near impossible, or that there will be a significant price hike. Because I would like to return many more times in the future.

“New York City just secured its first new 3-star Michelin restaurant in over a decade By Ben Cost Published Dec. 10, 2024, 12:41 p.m. ET, New York Post, New York had a culinary all-star lineup this year. On Monday (12/9/2024), Michelin Guide unveiled its 2024 selections for Washington D.C., Chicago and New York City. The Big Apple was served up a smorgasbord of stars, including their first new three-starred restaurant in 12 years. That honor went to Jungsik, Jungsik Yim’s namesake Korean restaurant that opened in 2011, which was upgraded from two stars before, per a recent release.”

Possibly one of the most overrated dining experiences in New York City. Absolutely flabbergasted that they got a third star. The tasting menu was just fine. Underwhelming and uninspired, with dishes that have been on for over ten years (talk about resting on your laurels). I have no better way to describe it than a 1 Michelin star menu at a 3* price. If you want fine Korean go to Jua (1*) instead, where the menu is both innovative and delicious. If you really need 3* try Europe, where these awards seem to be handed out less lightly. In no universe does Jungsik belong alongside its international 3* “peers”, like El Cellar De Can Roca or Osteria Francescana.

Truly exceptional. Service is unbeatable. The waiter station is centered in the middle of all the tables which I think is a great idea. There wasn't a second they didn't have their finger on the pulse of our experience. There was a table sat next to us when I feel like there was enough open spaces that they could've left a little bit more of a buffer space, but it was totally fine anyway, we were just slightly worried about distracting them from their meals. The restaurant was very clean. The bathrooms are very nice. It was a bit of a walk to get to from the subway, so if you are coming with women who might be wearing heels I think I'd advise taking a car. The food was definitely with the best I've ever had. It started very well with a playful and delicious interpretation of banchan, but we weren't extremely impressed with the signature octopus. I mean that literally, it was excellent, but we weren't extremely impressed. The standout dishes were definitely the sea urchin bibimbap, which I definitely recommend supplementing to and the yellowtail kimbap which I'll admit we always love yellowtail, but it was really next level. Great presentation on everything. Excellent dishes. The deserts were great too. Drinks and wine pairings were excellent. It is priced around what you might expect for two Michelin stars, but I suspect that we actually enjoyed this dinner at a rate that is lower than it will be in the future. Will not be surprised to see them get a third star in the future. Perfect.

Very attentive staff hence the 2 Michelin. The plating, flavor, style, service were all worthy! Superb

One of the best meals I’ve had in NYC, everything on the tasting menu was so delicate yet flavorful. Really enjoyed the striped jack, yellowtail kimbap, and the galbi. The bonchon to start was also amazing.

Creative, fun, some really memorable dishes

Made a very last minute bar reservation over the phone yesterday for my fiance's birthday dinner. I love how their bar menu is exactly the same as their dining table menu except it's a la carte (which is great for us bc I could never finish a whole set). We got one of everything on the menu and they were all amazing!! My personal favorite was the uni bibimbop and the bon chan, but honestly everything on the menu was so delicious I wish the portions were bigger bc I wanted more after I finished that octopus leg 😩 Overall they do live up to my expectations for a two Michelin star restaurant! Only thing I would complain about is that I noticed the dining tables were very close to each other and not very spacious. The bar area was great tho!

A modern and French twist to Korean cuisine. In fact most of the dishes here are very un-korean like. The closest thing is the kimchi. But all of the courses are delicious and good portioned. Service is top notch, friendly and attentive. Wine list is exhaustive. Overall a wonderful experience dinning here.

Overall in terms of food it is the best fine dining I’ve had. The starter dish was mind blowing. The following ones are great as well and it felt authentic and elevated at the same time. But here are a few things that I believe could be better: 1) the non alcoholic beverages are so bad. I don’t remember seeing mocktail options either. 2) some of the later dishes don’t have the same wow effect as earlier dishes and people can get a bit tired towards the end 3) the dessert- I think the carrot one was cute and it’s good for a pic or video, but it could be more fun (maybe make it a bit harder to pull it out? ) and the flavors could be more layered instead of being simple
