Contemporary · ★★ Michelin

₩₩₩₩

Chef Yim Jung-sik—with his Seoul and New York restaurants –is credited with introducing Korean cuisine to the world with an innovative flair that is entirely his own.

Primary ingredients, from abalone to duck, make up his set menu which begins with impressive banchan; there’s also the option of adding supplementary courses. There’s an extensive wine list but the suggested pairings are also well-judged.
