Jungsik Seoul Review

There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved by a barbecue. If there is, then two barbecues will do. Life is busy, but you should also remember to reward yourself and eat all kinds of delicious teppanyaki barbecue. The taste is wonderful!

The restaurant is close to a subway station but in a quiet corner and easy to walk to. We tried the tasting menu which was the best choice as you can taste a wide variety of food. The food was great and the staff was nice and helpful. This restaurant is good for couples and groups. Highly recommended for a great dinner in Seoul!

This Jungsik restaurant is recommended on various food lists, with 50 Asian restaurants. Its branch in New York is the first Korean restaurant to win a Michelin star. Originally, according to the reviews, you need to make an appointment a long time in advance, but since you are already at the door, you will not be willing not to try it. Unexpectedly, maybe because it is Monday noon, there are still seats. The waiter also said that I am very lucky. A four-story single-family building, with a bar on the first floor, a lobby on the second floor, a private room on the third floor, and an office on the fourth floor. The interior and exterior decoration styles are basically the same. Although it is noon on a weekday, it is still full. This photo was taken after everyone else left after hesitating to eat while live streaming. It is so "empty". The menu here is adjusted every few months, and there are also differences at noon and at night. If you want to savor the most classic and signature dishes, the dinner at night is the most comprehensive. However, there are also advantages to eating at noon. First, it is relatively easier to make an appointment, and second, the cost is lower than dinner. At noon, there are 4-course and 5-course Choice Menus, priced at 50,000 and 80,000 won respectively; and an 8-course Tasting Menu priced at 150,000 won. Although this type of restaurant is known for its exquisite dishes, and each dish is ordered to the point, the 8-course menu is still too challenging for me, so I chose the 5-course Choice Menu and ordered mineral water, with a total consumption of about 90,000 won. The rose-shaped dessert has received continuous praise online, and it is indeed very beautiful~ I like the after-meal tea very much. The waiter will bring a variety of teas to choose from, and the accompanying snacks are also delicious. In terms of service, it feels particularly good. The waiters are very good-looking and well-mannered. They are very familiar with the dishes. Whether it is ordering or serving, they can give good introductions and recommendations. When a little boy added water, he didn't see the mineral water I ordered, but added ordinary water. After finding out, he was very sorry and hurriedly changed the cup. After that, he apologized every time he walked by... It made me feel embarrassed. So in general, based on my personal experience of this lunch, the taste of the dishes is not amazing, but after all, the Michelin price of 500 yuan per person is quite affordable, and the service and environment are not bad, so it is still worth a try.

The Michelin two-star restaurant JUNGSIK, which was booked one month in advance with broken English. The following is selected from "JUNGSIK in Seoul | Korean cuisine that is both delicious and classy" In 2009, Yim Jung Sik, who graduated from the New York Culinary School, returned to Korea and opened this restaurant named after himself in Gangnam District, Seoul, which specializes in modern Korean cuisine. In 2011, the guy opened a branch in Manhattan, New York. In 2014, his New York branch won two Michelin stars, and the Korean main restaurant entered the list of the top 50 restaurants in Asia. In the same year, the guy, who was only in his early 30s, was invited by the South Korean president to have lunch at the Blue House. Academically successful, young and promising, haha, this is all routine.

Jungsik never makes mistakes🌟The Michelin two stars are well-deserved. I feel that the chef has been changed this year and the taste is very good👍Of course, it was not bad last year. Last year, I felt full after eating 235💲9 dishes [covering my face] This year's 195💲7 dishes are just right, and the wine pairing is really perfect. I have been thinking about this restaurant, and it really is🈚. The relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere, the appropriate and thoughtful service, and the smooth connection between each dish, Jungsik undoubtedly gave a satisfactory answer to the gourmets who came here for the reputation. I would like to add that the sommelier here is cute and professional. After learning about my taste, he picked a bottle of Grenash from Rhône for me. It suits my taste very well. If nothing unexpected happens, this is the best wine of the year. In the past, the recommendations of restaurant sommeliers have never been as popular as this time, which is a big plus! 🍷

The location is easy to find, and the dining environment is also OK. For the price of Michelin, it is a pleasant surprise. But there are no memorable dishes. I can still remember the beef and dessert. The rest, I really don't have much impression. Compared with other Michelin one-star restaurants, I may not patronize again.

The recommended Korean-French restaurant Jungsik has an 8-course tasting menu, which has about 10 dishes in total. The seaweed gujongdae, spicy octopus legs, sujeonggwa and corn ice cream are all amazing.
