Whether one chooses to call it Korean with French techniques or French food featuring Korean ingredients, the first restaurant of Chef Jungsik Yim on American soil is a fine dining experience worth seeking out. Featuring a clean-lined room with exemplary service and both tasting menu or prix fixe options with plenty of bites and gifts before, after, and during the meal it would be hard to single out any one dish during the evening that outshined the rest, but likewise it would be difficult to name a single one that was anything less than beautiful and delicious. From the signature BiBim salad with icy arugula sorbet to the tongue-in-cheek Gangam Chicken every bit as good as the Ballotine I enjoyed at Guy Savoy and onward to the Jang Dok, a textural masterpiece based on Korean clay earthenware, Jungsik is a restaurant quite unlike most – upscale “ethnic cuisine” that does not come off as contrived, instead rivaling French, Italian, or Contemporary American restaurants throughout New York from start to finish.
