I have had the pleasure of dining at Joomak a couple of times now and it is always phenomenal. Each dish is unique, the golden ossetra caviar pictured here was my favorite! Chef Jiho has done an excellent job, not to mention the font of house team's superb service and attention to detail. Upon hearing that I don't drink alcohol, our server made me some mocktails that complimented each dish perfectly - it was such a nice touch. :) If you get the chance to dine here, definitely do!
Can feel they put effort into improving every part of the service. Overall, the dining experience was pleasant. The food was a bit salty for me at first, but after giving feedback, could tell they made some changes. I really liked the mini croissant, small but rich and crispy, and the sauce made it even more flavorful. The beef in the main dish was also good. The sauce and little mushrooms brought out the natural taste of the meat. As for the environment, the lighting was a bit dim, so the photos came out dark too, but in person, the setting felt perfect for couples to enjoy quiet moments and good food together.
Sleek spot with modern Korean plates; prices are high but portions impress.
Joomak 3.0 is the best yet! What started as an outdoor popup during the pandemic, is now a wonderful fine dining experience. Chef Jiho was a Michelin pastry chef and the attention to detail and impeccable execution really shines in his savory dishes, not to mention every plating is absolutely stunning. It's hidden from the street in an intimate space that feels luxe but very comfortable, as if you were in someone's home. Sous chef Truman also adds excellent dishes to the menu. We were all blown away by the flavors and the whole experience.
Our recent dining experience at Joomak was truly one of the most memorable meals we’ve ever had, and we haven’t stopped raving about it since!
From the moment we stepped into the beautifully designed space, we knew we were in for something special. The ambiance struck the perfect balance between modern elegance and cozy warmth, setting the stage for what became an extraordinary evening! Every member of the team was genuinely welcoming, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do—it was hospitality at its finest.
We chose the tasting menu with wine pairings, and every single course that came out was an absolute work of art, both visually and in flavor! Each dish was thoughtful, innovative, and perfectly balanced—showcasing not only the chef’s incredible talent but also the entire kitchen and service team’s dedication to excellence. We found ourselves completely captivated by the progression of flavors, textures, and creativity with each plate that arrived. The wine pairings were equally stunning and complemented the food beautifully, enhancing every bite and creating such a harmonious dining journey.
We could feel the care, effort, and artistry that went into every detail of the experience, and we left with that rare feeling of having been part of something truly special...!
Joomak is a GEM, and we cannot wait to return! We’ll be enthusiastically recommending it to anyone who appreciates culinary brilliance paired with warm, genuine hospitality!
A small and intimate setting with fine dining offerings. A unique both personal and profession experience by the FOH team. Flavorful dishes by chef Jiho with surprising twists
I don’t even know where to begin — our experience at Joomak was truly unforgettable. I went with my husband to celebrate my birthday, and from start to finish, everything was exceptional.
The atmosphere is intimate yet warm, perfect for a special night out. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful — every detail felt personalized. But the real star? The food. Every dish was beyond delicious — creative, perfectly executed, and full of flavor. I was blown away with each course.
What made the night even more special was the chef himself. He came to our table to serve a few dishes personally and wished me a happy birthday — something I’ll never forget. He even surprised me with a custom birthday drink and an extra dessert. That level of care and attention made me feel truly celebrated.
If you’re looking for a place that delivers not just amazing food but a meaningful and memorable experience, Joomak is it. Can’t wait to go back.
Intimate setting with a very nice living room feel to it. Very chic! The service was impeccable and chef Kim definitely nailed the menu. Some items were very familiar if you have been to his previous restaurants, and everything was the right mix of flavor and textures. Definitely will be back again!
A+ food, A+ service
impeccable .. all of it ...

We absolutely loved our experience at Joomak. The food itself was very good, well rounded and perfectly timed— also a pretty good value. But truthfully what blew us away was the intimacy of the environment and the warmth of the staff. Jimmy, Daniel and Nathan were all truly delightful and hit the perfect balance of professional and personal.
Spectacular tasting menu with friendly and engaging staff. Top notch experience - thank you for a wonderful evening!
So yummy! Well deserved Michelin!!! Chef Jiho is amazing!
What a wonderful experience. Came with a Couple of friends and by the end of dinner we couldn't decide what was our favorite dish cause they all were excellent. Having the chef come to the table and check on us was great. Will definitely be back🥂
Joomak is a must-visit. Chef Jiho Kim’s tasting menu is a masterclass in creativity, blending Korean flavors with modern techniques. Each dish is a delightful surprise, and the intimate setting makes for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend for food enthusiasts seeking something special.
