• large party dinner

  Don't ever sit in the back room - stay in the front. We were a large(r) party and seated using the middle of the back room. The problem is the glasses in the cabinet inside the same room. There was constant traffic to that cabinet - made it feel like we were seated by a kitchen door. Service was also uneven. I'm all for diversity but could we get one lead person that takes care of us and explains the food? The different volume levels of speaking, articulation (or lack thereof) and accents made it nearly impossible to understand each dish. Also, as a larger party, expect your food to be delayed. We came in with two other smaller parties and they were always served first. Also - this will cause your dessert to be melty. The dessert was not great anyway but trying to plate all the dishes at once seemed to result in some desserts melting. And it wouldn't necessarily be a problem but for the fact they said use your fingers.... hard to do when it falls apart. Food was otherwise very good. But the accompanying non alcoholic beverages were a letdown. Like they tried to find the weirdest/unique thing - but didnt really consider whether it made the food better - some hit but most of the time - just unbalanced. Overall, I'm surprised they have 3 stars. 2 stars at best. And for the price... a disappointment.

• private event dinner

  Went for an exclusive event and got to try both Korea and NYC recipes! Such a unique twist on Korean food to break into the fine dining era. Extremely impressed with the wine selection they picked with P2 Dom ranging to Opus and fine dessert wines. Really enjoyed the banchan, garden, and meats. The garden ending was so unique that you didn’t know what you would eat. One threw me off since it was an actual carrot. Luxury dining was here and great service by the staff. Thanks to Christian. Note that the windows area is extremely cold so try to avoid that given no insulation.

• wedding celebration dinner

  Quite possibly our favorite restaurant in NYC. We’ve been coming at least once a year and had our wedding celebration dinner here with family. Congratulations on a third star!

• group booking attempt, party of 7

  I can say with some confidence that I have yet to have a worse customer experience than in trying to dine at Jungsik. I am confounded by the sheer lack of attention, effort and assistance I received. For context, I have some friends visiting NYC the week between Christmas and New Years this year. One of our big outings was to be Jungsik, as we were excited about a Korean 3- star Michelin restaurant. Since we were to be a party of 7, I had to go through email to reserve (too big for their Tock site). So on November 1st, I emailed inquiring about a reservation the Weekend of December 27th. A few days go by, and I receive an email response from the Jungsik team thanking me for my interest, but explaining they have yet to open their reservations for that time and asking me to follow-up in mid-November - which is fine. Mid-November rolls around and I send a follow-up email inquiring about the date, to which they respond saying they still haven’t worked out the reservations for late-December, but that they have my info and get back to me towards the end of the month. At this point, I have missed out on most other reservations for the December weekend since most places have better planning around these dates. Regardless, I wait. Late-November rolls around and I finally get a response saying - quite curtly - that they cannot take my reservation. I receive no follow-ups of any kind as to other time slots that may be open that weekend or week, and no explanation. The email really felt like a brush-off. After a month of waiting/emailing/planning, I somehow didn’t make the cut for that day. Again, thats mostly fine! They hadn’t promised me anything yet and I didn’t explicitly mention other times/dates I can do. And perhaps other large parties were ahead in the queue somehow (however unlikely)? Only minutes after their email response, I respond asking for other dates they have that weekend/week. I then don’t hear back from them for about a day… When I finally do, they let me know they can do Sunday, the 28th and they ask for my full name and phone number so they can send the reservation link. Again, I respond timely and await the link. Once again, it takes til the next day for the response that, “psych!” they had given the time they mentioned away on their Tock site because that Sunday was now available for the public. The same Sunday that was NOT available to the public the day prior when they decided to not respond to me. They then offer me a random Tuesday reservation, which is the day my friends leave the city. Look - I understand they don’t owe me anything here. I know they’re doing well and I understand the place isn’t very big, and my party of 7 no-doubt creating some logistical issues. However, this is a supposed 3-Michelin star restaurant. I have reserved/dined at Eleven Madison and Le Bernardin and received the red carpet treatment at both. To be honest, I’ve had much more helpful, warm and responsive email exchanges with reserving private rooms at my local bars than I did with Jungsik. It was simply an incredibly rude, cold and overall terrible series of interactions that left a bad taste in my mouth throughout. There are so many amazing restaurants in NY (the aforementioned Eleven Madison and Le Bernardin, for starters) that will make you feel like you matter! And that the hard-earned money you’re spending is well-spent. I would implore everyone to choose one of those options - or really, anywhere else - over Jungsik and their can’t-be-bothered team.

• birthday dinner, party of 6

  the worst service. We made the 6 people reservation yesterday to celebrate the birthday. in the middle of the course, the server poured the soup to my chanel sweater and hermes bag rose sacura mini kelly. Too crazy!!! can't believe this happens in a michelin 2 star restaurant. the server asked me if i am ok. I SAID no, I am not ok. I am cleaning my bag right away. Then manager came and said will pay my dry cleaning bill and our drinks free, which is around $500. they poured my chanel cardigan, which is around $6000 and my special order mini kelly. can't believe. we paid 20% service fee......don't bring any lovely things to this restaurant. too bad......
