Wow! What an experience. Food was incredible from the very first bite until the last. Service is high quality, not synchronized but very professional, and anticipated the needs of the customer. There was only one instance in the first dish where five items were served on individual pedestals where were had to reach over another item in order to eat it in the chef's recommended order. My favorites included the banchan, kimbap, octopus and desserts! Great flavors and textures - including crispy crusts and soft succulent flesh. I loved all the desserts - including the 'carrot' cake and the truffle cone! The pastry chef perfectly balances taste with ingenuity and creativity. We also got the premium wine pairing which was great. The atmosphere chic and calm, great for small groups or couples. My only slight qualm was that one of the servers was very pushy about us ordering more drinks. This felt out of place at a fine dining establishment, and every other member of staff was so helpful and friendly that I think this was an anomaly.

A very enjoyable experience and service. They made it very special for my birthday and was definitely full by the end. They were very accommodating for my dairy free restriction which was appreciated. The wife had the full vision but didn't notice too much of a difference through out the menu. For a two Michelin star in New York, I was expecting a taste bud euphoria trip which never really happened. Everything was just really good. The sea urchin was only thing we didn't enjoy. Texture and taste was off and at a premium for add on made it a less than appealing choice. The wagyu was almost too tender like bone marrow. The ventura mencia ribeira sacra I would drink again. Great fruit forward wine but not too sweet. The woojeon tea first steeping was excellent. Don't bother with second steeping. No taste. The desserts were fantastic with the stand out being the refreshing palate cleanser snowball I call it :)

Jungsik serves up food that clearly deserves three Michelin stars, but does it without all the fuss and pretentiousness that one can encounter at a restaurant with that third star. This was hands down one of the best meals I've ever had the privilege to enjoy. Each course was a stand out and there was an element of fun throughout the meal without it seeming gimmicky. If I was going to choose a favorite course, it would be the scallop. It was perfection. A close second would be the octopus, and that's coming from someone who really doesn't like octopus. It's clear why that dish remains a Jungsik staple. The staff is so attentive and is keen to ensure every party has a memorable experience. And I must say their play list of 80s music was the best soundtrack of any Michelin starred restaurant I've ever been to- simultaneously classy but chill. Jungsik, don't ever change; you're perfect the way you are.

This is spot is an EXCELLENT fine dining experience. I came here with a group of friends and everyone loved this meal and left feeling full. One member in our group is vegetarian, and they crushed it accommodating for her needs. The ambiance is beautiful and not super stuffy. Our group definitely felt comfortable laughing without feeling like we were making too much noise in the space. For drinks, both the wine pairing or cocktails were fantastic. I went with the cinnamon roll cocktail- if you like a sweet and creamy flavor profile you'll love this and it comes with an adorable cinammon swirl on top. The tasting menu was just one phenomenal course after the other. My favorite savory dish was the arctic char and favorite sweet dish was the carrot cake. The service was wonderful the entire way through. Constantly getting the chairs for us, providing new napkins when we left for the bathroom, and when we were leaving, I left my phone there by accident, but the waiter ran out after us in the rain to get me my phone back. I can't wait to come back here and experience more Korean restaurants!

2 star Michelin! This is my fifth time at Jungsik. The food is high-quality and there's a rotating menu every season or so, the plating and food is meticulously crafted with detailed oriented chefs. The service is excellent, the server came back and refilled our water continuously and checked in to see how full we were or how the food is. The ambience is dim lit and perfect for a nice dinner. Highly recommend. The menu is about $300/pp, we got the seasonal black ice cream add on for an additional $25. Worth it!

Having been to Jungsik twice now, I can say with confidence that it has consistently amazing dishes and staff. It remains my favorite place to get a nice, high quality course meal in NYC. I'd choose Jungsik over Brooklyn Fare any day!! From the reimagined banchan to start to the unique desserts at the end (the carrot--basically reimagined carrot cake--and the walnut--a pancake-like shell with warm red bean inside--were some of the best sweets I've ever eaten), the entire meal at Jungsik is incredible. The menu may get refreshed based on the season/ingredients, but delicious menu staples such as the crispy-yet-tender octopus thankfully remain. No matter what you get, every bite of each dish is full of flavor and perfectly prepared and plated. Each ingredient shines and the texture and flavor are highlighted to make the dish outstanding (for example, the seaweed in my hand roll was delightfully crispy and amplified each bite I took with the soft, flavorful accompanying fish). This is truly a special culinary experience that is worth every penny. In addition to the food going above and beyond, the service does, as well. My server noticed I was left-handed after I took my first bite of the banchan and adjusted my place setting and dish layout accordingly. I've NEVER had that happen before and was blown away by the attention to detail. My husband and I were celebrating a special occasion, and each staff member who assisted us wished us a happy anniversary. The staff were professional but warm, not stiff as in other nice restaurants, which we appreciated. Jungsik is "elevated Korean" fine dining, and the ambiance matches this theme. The restaurant has a clean but not stark vibe, and ample seating for those who wish to try the full menu, plus a bar for those walk-ins who just want a particular item a la carte (which I didn't know was possible and learned about on my last visit). If you have a special occasion or just want some incredible food, definitely add Jungsik to your list!

We loved every single dish. It's very special when you can leave a restaurant after 9 courses (plus extraordinary ban Chan) and both agree that this was a perfect, memorable meal. The service was professional and friendly. The room is beautiful. Just perfect. Thank you to the entire team.

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!

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.

My fiancé and I dined here earlier this month to celebrate his birthday. Jungsik ended up being a fantastic choice as the staff provide excellent service and we loved the food. Highlights of the signature menu: langoustine, octopus, galbi, and carrot dessert with black tea ice cream. The langoustine was topped with caviar and served on top of an emulsion. Each part was delicious eaten together and separate. I could eat this dish all day. The octopus was the most tender octopus we have ever had and so delicious with the gochujang aioli it came with. The galbi (wagyu shortrib) was also tender and full of flavor. We were stuffed at the end of the savory dishes, but of course had to make room for dessert! My favorite of the three desserts was the carrot one. I was in love with the black tea ice cream that was served with it because it had such a rich black tea taste. The cream cheese mousse was designed in the form of a carrot and we were able to "pluck" it from a box, which was pretty cool. We also tried two of their cocktails and enjoyed both. While Jungsik has 2 Michelin stars, we felt it was better than some of the 3 Michelin star restaurants we've tried.
