Jungsik Seoul

The restaurant itself serves traditional Korean cuisine and also provides vegetarian meals. We tried the lotus leaf rice set meal and the vegetarian Korean barbecue meal, both of which were very delicious. Even the elders who have been vegetarians for many years praised them. The price is about 200~300 Taiwan dollars after conversion, which is not too expensive. It is indeed a good choice for vegetarian friends in Busan. Note: Although the business hours are until 10 pm, there have been cases where it closes early at 9 pm.

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! 🍷

Jungsik in Seoul, a Michelin 2-star restaurant with a globalized Korean flavor Jungsik can be said to be a star restaurant in the Korean cuisine industry. Chef Jungsik Yim is one of the most sought-after chefs today. He showed his culinary talent during his military service, and his superiors made him his personal chef. Later, his culinary experience in a series of Michelin-starred restaurants in the United States and Spain allowed him to start his own business in 2009 and open Jungsik Restaurant in Seoul. Although the Michelin Guide only included Seoul in November 2017, the famous Jungsik opened a restaurant of the same name in New York in 2011, and won its first Michelin star in New York in 2013, and was promoted to two stars in 2014. In the first edition of the Michelin Guide Seoul, Jungsik won one star, and in 2018 and 2019, the restaurant was promoted and maintained two stars. Of course, this restaurant is also Asia’s best 50. The restaurant in Seoul is near Sinsa-dong, Gangnam District. It is easy to find. Just type Jungsik on Google Maps and it will come out. There is a cafe and a restaurant on a large slope. The shop on the first floor facing the street is a cafe, and the restaurant is upstairs. Generally, reservations are made 2 weeks in advance, but it depends on the specific situation. I made a reservation 5 days in advance and it was successful. It may not be too crowded if it is not a weekend or dinner. The reservation method is to send an email through the official website, and the other party will feedback a confirmation email, which requires a credit card guarantee, which is about 30,000 won. Jungsik has two options for lunch: 4 dishes and 5 dishes. I chose 5 dishes, 95,000 won, but I chose Korean beef for one of the dishes, so I added 20,000 won. Most restaurants in Korea include taxes and service charges, and this restaurant is no exception. I didn't drink, so the price was about 600-700 RMB. This price is still very good value for money for a Michelin 2-star restaurant. It should be noted that the price of dinner will be 145,000 won, which is much more expensive than lunch, so if you are a stingy person like me, you should choose lunch. Finally, let's talk about the dishes. JUNGSIK is a new Korean restaurant, which is reorganized by integrating local ingredients with Western techniques. A lot of overseas work experience allows Lin Zhengzhi to present the taste of Korea in a globalized effect. I didn't ask how often the dishes are changed, so I won't introduce the dishes one by one. Everyone may eat different dishes. But as far as I am concerned, the entire dish of JUNGSIK is exquisite, but it didn't impress me. Only the taste of Korean beef is commendable. It may be that the restaurant has been open for too long and has entered a bottleneck period.

Jungsik Restaurant mainly serves new Korean cuisine, which is to present or reinterpret Korean ingredients and flavors with Western techniques. It has won two Michelin stars for several consecutive years and was selected as one of the 50 best restaurants in Asia. It can be said that there is nothing wrong with it except that it is expensive.
