Absolutely phenomenal Korean food! The chef is a true master of seasoning—every dish was perfectly balanced. This place offers a highly creative twist on Korean cuisine using local ingredients in ways I’ve never seen, even in Korea. The vibe is warm and stylish, the price incredibly fair. Truly one of the most memorable meals I’ve had. I wish I could bring this restaurant back home with me!

Had an incredible experience at Jua. Every dish was beautifully prepared and packed with flavor—one of the best meals I’ve had in NYC. The staff had great product knowledge and explained everything with clarity. Service was warm and attentive.
TIP: if you love a dish and want to reorder it, make sure to do so during that course. Once it’s passed, you can’t go back—which we found out after wanting more of the caviar kim.
Highly recommend Jua for a memorable tasting menu. Good in quality and value, compared to other tasting menus in the city.
Would definitely go back!

Was so looking forward to coming here this visit and it was well worth it! I would highly recommend checking this place out! The service was really nice! Each dish was absolutely amazing as well! The only one I didn’t love was the sweet potato donut at the end but it was purely my own taste preference, my husband really liked it! We also did the non alcoholic tasting menu and that was really well done as well! Overall a wonderful experience!

Fun and tasty. Not all servers were great but our main server was super engaged. Good value for money for NY standards. Recommended!

Everything was great at the moment, but not anymore after I get back to my apartment. I have serious diarrhea after that. I am a usual strong stomach person, but I did not know why, and my boyfriend has similar symptoms.

I'm speechless how absurdly good this restaurant is. The abalone jook was definitely the highlight for me, the branzino a close second. For desert, the sweet potato donut with the black sesame ice cream was an absolutely amazing way to close it all off. The service is above and beyond, and the Seoul Breeze(?) cocktail was super refreshing. A very very strong recommend if you're celebrating a special occasion.

Great food and service. The caviar and uni Kim’s were amazing. As someone who doesn’t love lamb, I enjoyed the main lamb entree. The dessert of black sesame ice cream and doughnut were outstanding.

Absolutely loved this experience. We started with fantastic cocktails, and the staff were very considerate in allowing us to enjoy our drinks without feeling rushed or slamming us with food right away. The Caviar Kim lives up to the hype, but my favorite dish of the night was the Striped Jack. Wine pairing was excellent. Service was top notch and fun. Highly recommend and thanks for a great evening!

It was a meal that was very delicious and full of the feeling of neatness and care. It was so delicious.
I don’t get the hype of this place. As a Korean person, I didn’t find the dishes to be outstanding. Galbi was very fatty and it was not enjoyable at all. The portion is super small and I was still hungry after the dinner. I highly recommend 8282 instead of this overpriced place.

Food was yummy, especially the caviar. But it didn’t feel so exceptional that I’d come again. My only complaint is that everything came cold or lukewarm, including red meats

The food is definitely good. I especially liked the perilla leaf dessert. The employees are also enthusiastic. There was a small regret that I wish they had been a little more relaxed when explaining the food. In particular, turning around and leaving as soon as the explanation is over is not in line with the direction Apso is aiming for (not a complaint. I hope the proud Korean restaurant does better).

I am Korean and I tried Jua, and it was honestly SOOOO not worth it. It was basically basic Korean food but with nice plating. Total came out to be $550 for two people. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE.
