The 17 Best Korean Restaurants In NYC
"Unlike many other fine dining spots, Meju doesn’t seem to care about foie gras and caviar. The focus at this eight-seat spot is on probiotics. Around a U-shaped counter hidden behind a shop in Long Island City, you’ll eat a roughly seven-course meal that makes heavy use of traditional Korean fermentation techniques. Expect things like short rib with ssamjang, amberjack with gochujang, and fried seaperch accompanied by a dab of 128-year-old soy sauce. For an intimate night out with a chef who'll talk your ear off about healthy bacteria, Meju is well worth the $215 price tag." - bryan kim, kenny yang
