Joo Ok is a fine Korean restaurant in New York, known for its immaculate food and exceptional service. The chefs' accolades in Seoul are well-deserved, and they shine in NYC, where they received one Michelin star shortly after opening this year. The food is beautiful, clean, and delicious, with standout dishes like the Perellia oil, banchan served with wagyu, and the flaky branzino, which features a carefully curated 2-year-old fermented soy sauce. The ice cream remains phenomenal, and the variety of sweets is lovely, though a bit hit or miss. Service is generally outstanding, with engaged and lively staff making the experience special, although some reviewers noted slight service issues, including long waits between courses. The wine pairing program is also on point, enhancing the dining experience. Despite these minor concerns, Joo Ok offers great value with a tasting menu priced around $180. Overall, Joo Ok is a great choice for a fine dining experience, and many guests express a desire to return to try the original menu.
