"Meju feels like an intimate supper club hosted by a chef who talks about a mysterious mentor in Korea, and provides the occasional lecture on the value of probiotics. Hidden behind a banchan shop in Long Island City, this eight-seat Korean restaurant serves a $215 tasting menu with seven courses, all of which incorporate some kind of fermented element. Expect things like raw amberjack topped with gochujang, buttery Miyazaki beef served with multiple ssamjangs, and a 128-year-old soy sauce that tastes surprisingly mellow." - bryan kim, kenny yang, will hartman
