Inventive Korean cuisine with elegant presentations and full bar
"Korean flavors and French techniques come together at this eight-course tasting menu spot in West Town. Some dishes are straightforward, like tteokbokki with creamy quail egg and punchy mustard seed. But the less conventional dishes show off Jeong’s creativity best, like salmon tartare with earthy dwenjang gastrique and crispy rice, or refreshing kkaetnip granita with pear gelee that perfectly bridges the savory and dessert courses. At $145, it’s not cheap, but the excellent food and intimate, minimalist space is a great choice for a special date night, or a dinner with a few friends." - Team Infatuation
"This upscale Korean restaurant is perfect for a special occasion, or even a Wednesday when you decide it’s time for a super nice date night. They offer a $145 seven-course tasting menu, with incredible dishes like salmon tartare topped with crispy rice pearls and creme fraiche, and mandu with kimchi and pork. Whatever you end up getting at Jeong, you can count on it being delicious and well-prepared. Just be sure to make reservations ahead of time—it’s small, and books up quickly." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
"Eater Chicago’s 2019 Chef of the Year Dave Park and partner Jennifer Tran elevated Korean cuisine to new heights with the opening of their contemporary restaurant in West Town. The couple showcase Korean ingredients and flavors through intricate and refined plates. Park constructs beautiful dishes like salmon tartare dressed with creme fraiche and crispy rice pearls; and seared scallop with beurre blanc sauce, spinach, trout roe, and chives." - Ashok Selvam
