Meju, a restaurant by Chef Hooni Kim, offers a unique dining experience, providing a home-cooked meal feeling with professional flavors. The 3.5-hour tasting menu focuses on traditional Korean fermentation, offering an educational and enjoyable evening. Dishes are presented with stories, creating an intimate and engaging atmosphere for the eight guests.
Highlights include perfectly prepared hwe and a taste of 129-year-old soy sauce. The food resembles K-Town fare, but Meju's focus on natural fermentation techniques differentiates it, offering potential health benefits. While it requires paying a premium, the informed decision to support the chef's explorations adds to the overall experience.
Reservations can be challenging, but the restaurant's communication is excellent, and the speakeasy-style location enhances the anticipation. Chef Kim's infectious passion contributes to the memorable and spectacular experience.
