There are so many delicious Korean tasting menus in the city at this point, but Jua was among the best. I think it also delivers a great value for the price. My friend and I had a fun time here.

Came here for a dinner for two. You can only do the prefix menu, but you can add on things. We chose to get the base menu without add ons.
Really enjoyed all the dishes, but the favorite for me was the mulhoe, very refreshing and loved the Korean flavors on ceviche. The sweet potato mochi donut paired really well with the black sesame ice cream, and it was a combination I didn't expect.
Service was prompt and great, every waiter took care to explain the dish and how to eat it. They were very attentive with the water and replacing the utensils as well.
Inside is a nice dimly lit vibe, perfect for a date or an indulgent dinner with friends or family.

Still great.
Having said that, based on the recent meal, it’s no longer the best bang for buck restaurant in the city for me (until recently, it was the best restaurant for me).
Again, not saying it’s not good, it’s still excellent and it’s enjoyable.
Service is excellent as always.
Still would go back over and over again.

Recommended to us as one of the best one starred Michelin restaurant in nyc and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed everything on the tasting menu. Portions were actually better than we thought cause we were satisfied at the end of our meal. Highly recommend and the staff were super amazing as well!

This place was completely unexpected. I was walking by headed to dinner when I saw this quaint authentic restaurant. Stopped and had some drinks, which were amazing. Then realized we were in a Michelin Star restaurant.
Bartender was very sweet and food looked delicious, though I didn’t order food.

best meal i’ve ever had… i will dream of that porridge (coming from someone who never liked porridge before this meal)
Came here to celebrate and it could not have exceeded our expectations more.
The tasting menu itself was great, we truly enjoyed everything we ate and it was well worth the pretty reasonable (for a tasting menu) price. The lamb & chan was such an interesting dish and a delight to eat. The jook was also easily a highlight and more flavorful than I would have expected. But truly there were no misses and each dish was its own very interesting time.
The service was so attentive and so friendly and much more approachable than you may expect from the ambiance, which created a nice experience.

One of my favorite Korean fine dining restaurants in NYC. For a city known for its bad Korean food, hate to break it to you non-Koreans, NYC should thank Jua for restoring the standard for what Korean food should taste like.
Yes yes I know it’s fine dining, BUT, I’m just glad I finally had decent Korean food that wasn’t BCD at 5AM when I’m plastered and barely alive

I don't have a single bad thing to say about Jua. The food, presentation, price, waiters, and soju? Impeccable. I went last month and can still remember the taste of every course.

Fantastic food. I enjoyed most of the courses on the tasting menu. My favorites were the jook (great flavor with a little kick, warm and comforting), branzino (went well with the citrusy sauce, and the charred skin gave it a lovely smoky flavor), and the sweet potato donut (had a sort of mochi-like consistency). The staff were super friendly and welcoming but could speak a little slower when explaining the dishes.

Amazing.
The caviar was a great start. We loved the dessert courses and the jook and short ribs were good.
The scallop and Sam-chi could have been skipped. The flavours did not go to together.
