It did not live up to the reputation of a 3 michelin star restaurant. I would not recommend it for others

It was okay not great, not terrible. Some good points but also a few things that need improvement.
Pine Pineapple
Toilet not flushed upon entering the bathroom with the bathroom light off and dark.
The toilet was not automatically flushed so probably the last guest forgot to do that. Perhaps they should add an automatic flushing feature in the bathroom even though it was already a high end multi functional toilet.
Then a fly stopped on my cup. Staffs explained it’s because summer was hot and the restaurant is by the street so it’s hard to avoid the fly.
However, they kept apologizing for the situation and took off my bills while serving me two extra dishes for free to make up for this situation. Set up a new location for me to continue dining. Overall a pleasant result with the service. Though I wished they took care of the fly early on. It’s been there for a while already.
The assistant manager was professional when handling the issue. Staffs were friendly and genuinely apologetic.
The food was ok though one fish dish was really salty.

A perfect date night with amazing food and service! Loved the octopus and uni 😋 The carrot cake surprise was such a thoughtful touch. Can’t wait to come back!

The service was excellent. So was the ambiance. The food was however surprisingly all over the place.
Striped jack: this one was excellent, both the fish and the sauce it came with. Highly recommended!
Scallop: unsatisfactory. The three pieces of scallop were simply not fresh enough. The citrus emulsion didn't do anything.
Arctic char: the sauce was great but the fish itself was okay. I wouldn't order it again.
Octopus: I liked it very much but my partner didn't. Make sure to dip it in plenty of aioli because otherwise the octopus itself was a little bit bland on its own.
Black cod: simply amazing. The fish was soft and juicy and flavorful.
Yellowtail kimbap: I didn't taste a whole lot of yellowtail but the kimbap was good.
Sea urchin bibimbap: very fresh, and the flavor was just as expected. Not too inventive though.
Given the price here, next time I might only order the truly remarkable dishes, and of which there were only three: octopus, black cod, striped jack.

The food was not worth the $1500 for the 3 of us!!!!! This restaurant barely deserved the 2 star rating but our service was impeccable and atmosphere was great. We’ve been to other Michelin starred restaurants and it has never been this disgusting. Towards the end, all 3 of us threw up and we didn’t say a single word to the staff. So upset to the point of no words, STAY AWAY!

Sat at the bar for a la carte, great experience. The banchan and the hand rolls were our favorite courses. Sizes are small though.

This has been my fav restaurant for 6 years straight. Doesn't matter where you go, the NYC location or Seoul, Jungsik just never disappoints. They only offer the best of everything, and I have always been blown away every time that I dine at Jungsik.

Expected more from a restaurant with two stars. The most delectable bite was the pine nut and pear amuse bouche, thereafter the whole experience soured. We were seated at the corner table and apparently under the aircon. It is extremely hard to ignore cold air being blasted on and off for 10 odd times during the two hours we were there. Evidently more needs to be done to regulate the restaurant temperature consistently. I was chilly by the fourth time and the issue perpetuated despite multiple rounds of feedback to the staff. In the end I gave up and went to pick up my coat to wear it throughout dinner service. There were no further attempts to shift us to another table, fix the issue, nor did the manager come to check in on us. When he eventually did, it was because I requested for him to specifically come and experience it for himself. I was flabbergasted when he denied it completely. Very ironically that was the exact moment the cold air started blasting again and he had to eat his words. Well. It was ice being there.

We were looking forward to a good meal but everything was marred by poor management and service. We were seated directly under the A/C and despite multiple requests to turn on the heat or turn off the air conditioning, nothing was done for us, and at one point the manager even gaslighted us by telling us the cold air could not have been blowing, just as it was blowing down on us. We could not wait to leave as soon as possible.
Super cute restaurant ☺️ good for chatting with friends. The waitress will introduce the course very detailed. The dessert is super cute and realistic, we happened to eat the carrot one and I like it a lot. Would highly recommend to go for dating or chatting with friends ?

Totally awesome atmosphere, chill music and foods!! Highly recommend this restaurant. I wanna go this place on Christmas. + servers were nice and gentle so I entirely enjoyed my dinner. Thank you :)
We went during New Year's Eve in 2021 when COVID was still a big deal. Although they didn't have their holiday special as their team came down with COVID, they still honored our reservation. If you're looking for a 7 to 8 course meal and feeling full at the end, this is the place to go! There were maybe only 3 or 4 other couples in the entire resaurant. It felt like we had the place to ourselves! Fine dining with 100% privacy. It was truly an experience to remember. The food, service and atmosphere was top noch!
