There was a lot of anticipation KJUN after all the hype we’ve seen + our failed attempt at trying to walk-in on a weekend dinner… safe to say our expectations were exceeded and we left happy, full and checking RESY for round 2 so we could try more!
Everything we had was flavor packed and the service was impeccable. We were generously comped a couple extra bites after my boyfriend raved about Boudin Balls (thank you Chef Jung!). The food comes out hot and fast, the staff are friendly and attentive, and despite the small space, they don’t rush you out.
I have friends visiting from out of town next week, and you bet I’ll be bringing them here to experience a standout meal!

Get the kimchi jambalaya and the ribs. You won’t regret it. Shits are FIREEEE! The staff are also very kind and attentive. It is a small space but feels homey and comfy. I think its reservation only so check on that before. We got lucky walking up. 10/10 recommended. Best hospitality and FLAVORFUL FOOD!

We had a really late reservation and was craving ribs, not realizing the staff had already wrapped up for the night. To our surprise, the chef kindly decided to fire it up one last time just for us. That kind of hospitality is rare, and we couldn’t be happier with both the food and the service. The ribs were fantastic, fall off the bones! And the whole experience felt above and beyond. Impeccable service and delicious food all around! Can’t recommend KJUN enough!

A couple years ago I gave this restaurant 5 stars across the board, but after my experience last night I had to downgrade the ratings. The food quality and service have declined significantly. My friend and I ordered a set meal and added fried chicken. We brought our own wine. After the first dish came, dishes were rushed or delayed. The chicken was not freshly fried, which is deadly for the flavor and texture of this type of dish. We had not yet received all our mains (missing a seafood jajangmyeon), when the host told us that we had 30 mins left in our reservation (we had been seating for less than 20 min). We received constant reminders from other servers about the next reservation and still no jajangmyeon. When the chef came over to check on the tables I mentioned the missing dish and the fact that we were notified about needing to vacate the table. They sent the dish right away but did not extend the time. All in all, this feels like a place that is trying to capitalize on new internet fame, which is fine, but be more strategic about your menu and your service if your aim is to turn tables so quickly. Good food is ruined when you don’t give your customers time to appreciate it, and that cannot possibly be good for business in the long run.
If I could give chef Jae and her team more than 5 stars, I would! From exceptional hospitality to top notch food, Kjun delivers above and beyond. The Korean-Cajun fusion was incredible - highly recommend the fried-to-order potato chips, japchae boudin balls, grits, and gumbo!
This is a truly a must visit New York City gem.
