Absolutely incredible experience! Each course was better than the next. The banh mi was our personal favorite. Madison was really helpful and was easy to talk to. We are excited to visit the Chelsea Market location!!!
I want to begin with things that are not seen, service, attention to detail, and the atmosphere. Pearl spoons, unique utensils, or in some cases eaten by hand as instructed.Service, no, elevated service is how you take a meal to the next level, this was platinum service.Food, think outside the box, stay true to your cultural flavors, and use the freshest sourced ingredients and now you might know the wonderful experience that can be had.
some of the dishes were amazing, but others fell flat compared to places like jua or kochi. one of which was the loaded potato dessert, which was interesting as a concept but as a dessert was not very tasty. the best thing was the banh mi which seemed more like a tartare to me. quite a few times they labelled dishes like “banh mi” or “jjajangmyeon” but i failed to see the connection due to how little they would have in common with the name.

Joomak Banjum offers amazing, tasty food with complex flavors and exceptional service. Diners have found the 4-course meal filling and enjoyed unique dishes, especially the caviar and banh mi, which some felt was more like a tartare. While the loaded potato dessert was an interesting concept, it did not impress as a dessert. Although some diners thought the price was high compared to similar upscale Korean places, the overall experience was incredible, making it a memorable choice for special occasions. Guests have praised the studio counter tasting menu, where the limited seating allows for an engaging experience as Chef Kelly prepares dishes in front of them. With great wine recommendations and impeccable service, Joomak Banjum is definitely splurge-worthy, especially for dessert lovers, thanks to the expertise of chefs Jiho and Kelly.
