Modern Korean tasting menus with wood-fired dishes
"Driven by Korean wood‑fired cooking, it maintained a star." - Melissa McCart
"The only Korean-inspired tasting menus we’d recommend over Jua’s cost roughly twice as much. At $140, this place isn’t cheap, but it punches above its weight. In a spacious Flatiron dining room with concrete floors, you’ll kick things off with a bite of crisp seaweed cradling rice, caviar, and tuna tartare. After that, who knows. The menu changes, but expect things like a luscious prawn tartare and a small slab of galbi with a wreath of bite-size banchan." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"If you want to celebrate a special occasion at a place where you don’t have to worry about sullying a pristine tablecloth, head to Jua. From the chef behind Moono and the group who brought you Ariari, Atoboy, and Her Name Is Han, this restaurant serves a seven-course, $140 tasting menu in a space with brick walls and scuffed concrete floors. Your meal might begin with a perfect bite of caviar and steak tartare wrapped in seaweed, possibly followed by spot prawns served two ways, a smoky bowl of jook, or dry-aged duck." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick
"If you want to celebrate a special occasion at a place where you don’t have to whisper or worry about sullying a pristine tablecloth, head to Jua. From the chef behind Moono and the group who brought you Her Name Is Han, this restaurant serves a seven-course, $140 prix fixe in a space with brick walls and scuffed concrete floors. Your meal begins with a perfect bite of caviar and steak tartare wrapped in seaweed, then you might get some spot prawns served two ways, a smoky bowl of jook, or dry-aged duck with a modernist array of banchan." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
"Chef Hoyoung Kim’s wood-fired Korean restaurant with a tasting menu has one star." - Eater Staff
