Jeju Island (Jeju Do)

“What Restaurant Will Impress A Native New Yorker?”

"This Korean restaurant in Murray Hill, Queens specializes in sushi, which you’ll see immediately evidenced by tables covered in banchan and platters of red snapper, live eel, and dual-compartment dipping platters dedicated to soy and hot sauce. They offer an $80 sushi and sashimi dinner for two people, which includes more seafood than I’ve ever personally encountered in one meal. The first two rounds come with everything from steaming bowls of congee and eomukguk, to bibim guksu you’re going to want to eat all of despite the fact that there’s way more food coming. The headliner of the meal is a massive platter of sushi and sashimi studded with tuna, red snapper, salmon, eel nigiri, and yellowtail. You can order a la carte at Jeju Island, but I wholeheartedly suggest having a $40 per-person feast instead. PS, If you’re coming from somewhere near an LIRR stop, get yourself onto the Port Washington line and take it to Murray Hill stop. It’s quicker than the 7 train, and Jeju is located right across the street from the station." - hannah albertine
