"Hidden away on the second floor of a ritzy residential hotel in the West Village is this jewel box of a dining room. With just a handful of tables, the modern setting feels like a luxurious living room, one fit with a fireplace, marble accents, and finely suited servers. Chef Jiho Kim offers a contemporary tasting menu that has touches of whimsy. Playful riffs on an everything bagel with salmon or a tuna smashburger are interwoven with refined stunners like dill custard with white asparagus and Meyer lemon beurre blanc. From scallops to king crab, it must be said that the quality of seafood is notably high. Desserts are a particular strength. Intimate, confident, and relaxed, dinner here is an experience to savor." - Michelin Inspector

The Most Expensive Tasting Menus In NYC, Ranked - New York - The Infatuation

"The eight playful, loosely Korean-inspired courses served at this West Village restaurant are completely distinctive—they wouldn’t appear on any other tasting menu. You can expect luxury at Joomak, sure, but you can also expect fun: a gochujang tuile envelope full of furikake to crack open and season your kani miso koshikari rice with, Harry Potter-inspired butterbeer ice cream, and otoro camouflaged as a doll-sized cheeseburger." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman

Can feel they put effort into improving every part of the service. Overall, the dining experience was pleasant. The food was a bit salty for me at first, but after giving feedback, could tell they made some changes. I really liked the mini croissant, small but rich and crispy, and the sauce made it even more flavorful. The beef in the main dish was also good. The sauce and little mushrooms brought out the natural taste of the meat. As for the environment, the lighting was a bit dim, so the photos came out dark too, but in person, the setting felt perfect for couples to enjoy quiet moments and good food together.

I don’t even know where to begin — our experience at Joomak was truly unforgettable. I went with my husband to celebrate my birthday, and from start to finish, everything was exceptional. The atmosphere is intimate yet warm, perfect for a special night out. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful — every detail felt personalized. But the real star? The food. Every dish was beyond delicious — creative, perfectly executed, and full of flavor. I was blown away with each course. What made the night even more special was the chef himself. He came to our table to serve a few dishes personally and wished me a happy birthday — something I’ll never forget. He even surprised me with a custom birthday drink and an extra dessert. That level of care and attention made me feel truly celebrated. If you’re looking for a place that delivers not just amazing food but a meaningful and memorable experience, Joomak is it. Can’t wait to go back.

Joomak 3.0 is the best yet! What started as an outdoor popup during the pandemic, is now a wonderful fine dining experience. Chef Jiho was a Michelin pastry chef and the attention to detail and impeccable execution really shines in his savory dishes, not to mention every plating is absolutely stunning. It's hidden from the street in an intimate space that feels luxe but very comfortable, as if you were in someone's home. Sous chef Truman also adds excellent dishes to the menu. We were all blown away by the flavors and the whole experience.

Starting with the amuse-bouche trio - king salmon "everything bagel", "smashburger" of otoro inside a choux bun, and A5 wagyu and Hokkaido uni toast - banger start! The caviar and mussels dish was unique, somehow light and rich, and super flavorful (tart, salty, sweet)! That mini pretzel croissant was also hot, buttery and oh-so-good. I don’t even like mustard and that spread was so on point. The fluke course with cucumber sorbet was light and refreshing paired with a cucumber&chamomile&mint aquavit cocktail was 20/10! Seared scallop was amazing as were the "shrimp and grits"! I am very allergic to crab and it was nicely accommodated by this salmon and rice course with this crispy cracker filled with furikake that you can crumble over the dish. This course was also great but incredibly filling. The sake granita palate cleanser set up the final main course which was actually one of the highlights of this meal for me. It was a squab and agnolotti dish and portion sizing may look small but it was actually perfect - the squab was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside with this amazing agnolotti. It's hard to find a good squab dish in the city and this was 20/10. The dessert course I believe was a take on banana bread pudding and as someone that doesn't enjoy bananas, this was really really good. Rounding this tasting menu out is the coconut mango shumai (mango fruit leather as the shumai skin with coconut ice cream on the inside) which was honestly that final perfect bite. Drinks were also really great and I recommend trying a dealer's choice!

Congratulations to the amazing and talented Chef Jiho on the opening of the exquisite Joomak nestled in the Maison Hudson. Our meal was absolute perfection— dish after dish of the most memorable and beautiful flavors prepared with meticulous precision and attention to every element on the plate. From the first bites to the last, this was truly culinary nirvana, but we knew it would be after enjoying Chef’s food for five years now. The service is so spectacular as well as the team is welcoming, warm, engaging, and perfectly polished. When the Michelin Guide awards Joomak its stars, we will say “we told you so!” The first bite with wagyu and uni, the caviar with dill custard and white asparagus, the pretzel croissant with whole grain mustard, the kanpachi that sang with the brightest spring flavors, the Norwegian king crab with pickled Serrano and the gochujang tuile, the A5 wagyu with abalone, and the banana bread pudding are all seared in my culinary memory as masterpieces forever.

Joomak is a must-visit. Chef Jiho Kim’s tasting menu is a masterclass in creativity, blending Korean flavors with modern techniques. Each dish is a delightful surprise, and the intimate setting makes for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend for food enthusiasts seeking something special.

Intimate setting with a very nice living room feel to it. Very chic! The service was impeccable and chef Kim definitely nailed the menu. Some items were very familiar if you have been to his previous restaurants, and everything was the right mix of flavor and textures. Definitely will be back again!

Our experience at Joomak was phenomenal. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and so friendly. Chef came to greet everyone which was much appreciated. It is a cosy lounge room atmosphere. The tasting menu was incredible, some very memorable dishes. Thank you to all the staff, Isiah, Nathan and Daniel especially.
