"Chef Jiho Kim reimagines his former One MICHELIN Star Joomak Banjum with a more sustainable concept inside Maison Hudson, shifting to a refined, focused eight-course tasting menu ($230) that channels his personal journey and Korean-French fusion (with pastry arts in the mix) into a memorable experience where guests feel genuinely valued. We’re led through a three-bite Amuse Bouche inspired by iconic NYC bites, Norwegian king crab, and a langoustine course that nods to both bouillabaisse and Korean maeun-tang—precise, polished, and deeply personal. The move away from a Koreatown footprint reflects a pivot toward sustainability and focus without losing the soulful, technique-driven cooking that defined the original." - Kevin Chau
