Baby’s first taste review 👶
Everything here was solid. Agree that the first bite (beef tartare) was the best, the brioche toast it was on was so good. For the mains, the arctic char was cooked really well and the curry was delicious with a good kick. I also really liked the striped jack, it kinda reminded me of lox (but elevated I guess). Same with the galbi, the sweetish sauce went really well with it and it was cooked perfectly. I usually love scallops but I thought this one was just ok
Had to go check out the new three Michelin star place before they raise their prices. Was it great? Yeah. But was it as good as other two or three Michelin places I’ve been? No.
The first bite of beef tartare was the best bite of the night. The arctic char with kimchi curry was spicy and had a real kick to it. Everything else was kinda just good. The plating was also just good but not great, and I was a little underwhelmed by the flavor of the dessert
It was overall a pretty great meal but for three Michelin stars I wanted to be blown away
In comparison for Asian New York tasting menus I’d go
1. huso
2. Joo Ok
3. This place
4. Jua
But first and second place were way cheaper
Korean-French inspired resto where each dish gives you hints of both cuisines in a cohesive way. Really enjoyed the experience + service was top notch. You start with the ban chan starters - similar vibes to Mari in Hell's Kitchen if people have gone - and go into the langoustine which is more French-influenced. Then there's a few more seafood dishes (octopus was so good even though I usually don't like; creamy butterfish), before you get to a Kimbap dish that's just so fun to eat (place yellowtail on top of roll with each bite). Then you get to the main meat dish which is a perfectly prepped galbi that melts in your mouth. You get whisked away to the dessert (bingsoo was less memorable), with the carrot "cake" being the star of the show. You pluck a "carrot" from what looks like a garden and eat it with other cake ingredients in a deconstructed manner. 10/10 will want to go back when the menu changes.
