Description
Unlike typical high-end Korean spots, the dishes here remain straightforward and recognizable, closer to Flushing BBQ classics. The distinction lies in a laser focus on ingredients, where artisanal jang serves as the guidepost for flavor in every course. Chef Hooni Kim anchors this educational, Michelin-starred meal with components he fermented himself in Korea, including a rare taste of a 131-year-old soy sauce passed down through generations.
