"When Jungsik opened in 2011, it was the first fine-dining Korean restaurant in New York. Years later, it’s still one of the best. The most exciting part of your meal here is their banchan—essentially an amuse bouche course full of fancy one-biters like a sweet prawn tartlet and a steamed egg with gamtae seaweed. The $325 price for their signature 11-or-so course menu is hefty, but you can rest assured that this will be money well spent—so long as you save a meal here for a very special occasion." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang
