alrighty first ever taste review in honor of one of my favorite meals this year so far: incredible meal with such thoughtful balance of flavors & textures in each dish. highlights: - caviar kim: the crunch of the seaweed, saltiness of the caviar, bluefin tuna tartare balanced with some pickled veggies(?) & creamy avocado - striped jack: loved the citrus/acid & herbs that added freshness and reminded me almost of a ceviche - jook: creamy & homey but wasn't the most mind blowing - branzino: the crispy skin was so good and the fish was flakey & delicious with the sauce - lamb & banchan: omg the doenjang marinated lamb was sooo good and perfectly cooked; the green chimichurri-like sauce was perfect with the lamb only slight constructive criticism was that it was sometimes hard to hear the course descriptions

An appreciation post for this one dish bc it remains the best bite of my life and the main reason I brought my brother here. All other courses are well executed and elevated-cozy, but this first course, this first course is on another level of flavor and texture harmony Connor pls give me a way to exalt this dish beyond Great

Still dreaming of the decadent dishes we had at Jua... When I first entered, I remember thinking that the restaurant seemed a tad unassuming but intimate - dimly lit with a touch of bustle as tables all around were filled with people dining late on a Sunday night. My party of 3 was seated immediately, and the service was pristine from the get-go. Our waitress was super friendly and cheerful, and all the staff seemed passionate as they brought out each plate / drink. Pro tip: You can order additional courses a la carte, but you need to tell the resto while you make the reservation because they prepare just the right amount of food the day of and nothing more. // Caviar Kim - Crunchy from the nori shell, fatty from the tuna, umami from the caviar, and the perfect amount of herbal tanginess from the greens to balance the fattiness. Chef's kiss. // Mulhoe - literally means "sashimi" in Korean (or so I'm told). Thin slice of tomato on top, balanced by raw sea bream and other veggies, in a kimchi-like broth that was just the right mix of acidity and spice. // Jook - a mix of traditional congee and a seafood chowder. The rich ingredients - scallop, mushroom, foie gras, chicken stock, and cream - make for a hearty, steaming bowl of rice porridge. Loved this! // Black cod - Wrapped in greens, this cod was so tender, slightly sweet, and melts in your mouth. The broth was a coconut-base and had a kick from the chili oil. The only thing that I had to ding it for was that it was lukewarm by the time it hit the table. // Chicken chan - Tender, juicy chicken with banchan on the side. It was very fun to try all the banchan, but if I had to pick, this was probably the least favorite out of all the dishes tonight. Still great though. // Strawberry - A strawberry sorbet with whipped cream, hidden under a thin sugar shell. Fun to eat and quite tart. // Green tea bingsu - I'm not often amazed by desserts on tasting menus, but this was really blew me away. The bingsu felt like it had DEPTH - so hard to describe but it basically didn't melt immediately and had such a strong matcha substance to it. Underneath the mountain of bingsu, you'll find watermelon, crumbled cookies and almonds. Nutty perfection. All in all, I would totally come again as the menu changes with the seasons. For $135, this is so worth it.
