Jungsik Becomes First Korean Restaurant in the U.S. to Earn Three Michelin Stars

The New York City fine dining establishment is the first in 12 years to join the city's elite three-star Michelin ranks.

Jungsik, a modern Korean restaurant in Tribeca, New York, has been awarded three Michelin stars, the highest honor in the Michelin Guide.
This marks the first time a Korean restaurant in the United States has achieved three-star status, reflecting the growing prominence of Korean cuisine in the fine dining world.
Jungsik is now one of five three-star Michelin restaurants in New York City, alongside Eleven Madison Park, Le Bernardin, Masa, and Per Se.
The restaurant, opened in 2011 by Seoul-born chef Yim Jung-sik, previously held two stars and is celebrated for its innovative reinterpretations of traditional Korean dishes.
The tasting menu at Jungsik is priced at $295, with the accolade expected to further increase demand for reservations at the acclaimed venue.
