Eating at Jungsik NYC. One of the BEST Korean Restaurants in the World. 3 Michelin Stars

Why not try filipino food?

Just got back from Jungsik and honestly perfection across the board. The food, the service, the atmosphere, all flawless. The dessert after? Chef’s kiss. Oh and the bathrooms were spotless 10/10, no notes. Only things I’d nitpick: the restaurant ran a little cold temperature-wise, the water wasn’t great (which sounds minor but at $325 a head, even the water should slap), and the ice cubes were decent but could’ve been a touch better. Other than that? Absolutely worth every penny. One of the best dining experiences of my life. 🔥

How is it you don’t weigh 300lbs?

Your pure love and passion for food really resonates, I feel the same about food so it’s really nice to see someone like yourself enjoy food at places I would rarely go to, your commentary is most appreciated

experiences differ based on the season.. only having experienced Jungsik in Seoul, on my experience neither over nor under-whelming. If in Korea, I recommend to try out Soul, one star michellin. At least for me, it was a pleasant surprise.

I hate the over exaggerated descriptions

Dont be so discriptive. Keep it minimum.

$325 to eat dog?

I wish they had put an H in front of that S when coming up with the name.

How long did the meal take?

$498? that's my monthly food budget!!!!!

The best Korean restaurant should be in Korea

Much respect, James. Amidst the myriad youtube channels that review restaurants, yours stands out - pure, sincere, no unnecessary BS. Very approachable yet high quality content. Thank you.

rerember lol

Any halmeoni or eomeoni will say "aigoo" after watching this video. But it looked tasty though.

Led me to think

I would say this is a Korean inspired American restaurant. Real Korean food does not look like this. 😅😅😅

So…which dish was Korean dish…? I am Korean and I am super confused right now.

Go to Cesar. Its gonna blow your mind.

I'll have to settle for the large container of kimchi at Costco for $8.95

Need to get you to have dinner with Alexander the Guest.

Really love the jacket you were in this video. Any chance I can get the info for it?

Thank you for sharing the experience

I feel like I'd need a Big Mac after those portions LOL

I recommend Tosochon and. you will experience fine Korean dining under $20.

Great video! Hope we can serve you at Noksu soon~

Hopefully you are Shin ramen for two weeks to compensate

Surely Jungsik is a excellent restaurant with a long good reputation, and I've known it for quite sometime.
However, as a Korean I would not say it is Korean cuisine. His food is just a kind of fusion western fine dining motivated from K-cuisine.

9:18 think those were salmon roe rather than caviar
NVM, TIL caviar was a more general term

What is "Tock" mean on the bill?

I could feel a high level of sophistication in your final thoughts. You seem like a person of great character.

Michelin star is a scam

what was the "tick' credit on the bill that made it $56?

갈비엔 무생채 끝!

Your youtube channel is perfect!

😰😰😨😰 your thumbnail shows a dismembered body part of one of the most intelligent animals on earth - Octopus..... current CARINISM dominant food culture around the world really is HORRIFIC but accepted WITHOUT A QUESTION by 95% of the population...... Rise ABOVE the current cultural norm. Evil is blind acceptance of culture/killture/orders no matter HOW MUCH THE VICTIMS SUFFER. Please watch DOMINION and SEASPIRACY

Giving you thumbs up from south korea, what a calm and beautiful content this is

Ate at Jungsik back when it still had only 2 Michelin stars and it was an amazing experience! I was the first table of the evening and so became the first diner to try pastry chef Lee's strawberry "bread & butter" dessert which debuted that night as a change from her usual baby banana course - really lucked out there as I don't care as much for banana flavored desserts. It was so playful and fun to eat, much in the same spirit as your carrot course (though it was not a supplement), but I sadly could not finish all of it because I ordered the sea urchin bibimbap supplement (so happy I did - it was heavenly!) and was nearly bursting at the seams at that point with a final dessert course and mignardises still left to eat. The other really memorable course for me that evening was the kimbap course, except mine was minced fatty tuna filled inside the seaweed roll (similar to a negitoro maki) instead of pieces of yellowtail placed on top. Looks like they kept a few other courses too from earlier years (like the galbi course, and the octopus course as noted) with variations here and there, including adding a 6th amuse bouche to the banchan course. Glad you enjoyed your dining experience at Jungsik as much as I did mine! Consistency appears to be their strength - that third Michelin star is well earned!

This is supposed to be korean food?

yeah... im convinced fine dining is a big scam

POOR OCTOPUS - HE IS MISSING AND EEND TENTACLE!

wow the number of dishes... surprised.

They should have warned you about the hot food.

I loved Jungsik. But.. Not been there like 5 years or more because there are many other high end Korean fusion options now days.

Wow!!!

Idk if I’m too plain,, too American… or just not rich enough but this food isn’t something I’d ever want…the only time I’d ever eat something like this if I was in a when in Rome type situation
