Joo Ok, a Michelin-Starred Seoul Restaurant, Is Opening in Manhattan - Eater NY

"A Michelin-starred Seoul restaurant is coming to Manhattan. Joo Ok, a modern Korean restaurant with two Michelin stars, will open this spring in Koreatown. The opening was announced in December via the Michelin Guide. The New York Times now reports that it’s coming in April. Joo Ok’s original location has had a Michelin star since 2018; it was awarded a second star in 2021. The restaurant closed in December to move to Manhattan. Shin Chang-ho, its chef, is opening in partnership with Hand Hospitality, a restaurant group defining Korean dining in New York. The address has not been announced, but it’s located 'on the 16th floor of a building in the heart of K-town,' according to the Michelin Guide. The menu will highlight Korean fermentation and cost around $200 per person." - Luke Fortney
