Jua

At JUA, Chef Hoyoung Kim, an alum of Michelin-starred Jungsik and L’Astrance, crafts a transcendent seven-course tasting menu where traditional Korean flavors are reimagined through modern technique and the primal allure of wood-fire cooking. The restaurant’s rustic-industrial interiors, conceived to evoke a mountain cabin, set an intimate stage for a culinary journey defined by meticulous artistry and bold innovation. Each dish—whether it’s Jeju Island fluke in a chilled spicy broth or branzino with shatteringly crisp skin—showcases exceptional ingredients and a deep reverence for heritage, while the energetic, sultry atmosphere invites guests to linger and savor every moment. JUA’s commitment to excellence has earned it a coveted Michelin star, making it a must-visit for those seeking the vanguard of New York’s fine dining scene.
