The 21 Best Korean Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"Jungsik was New York’s first Korean tasting menu restaurant when it opened in 2011, and paved the way for a deluge of Korean fine dining in New York. A meal here has some overlap with classical French tastings: you'll start with amuse bouche banchan that include a sweet prawn tartlet and yukhoe on a toasted circle of brioche, and eat a peak-season fruit granita to clear your palate before dessert. The servers wear jackets according their roles, and the steamed tablecloths have corners so sharp you could cut yourself on them. It’s $295 per person, but the service is excellent, and you’ll leave with a full belly—just save Jungsik for a multiple-of-five birthday or anniversary." - bryan kim, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
