Chicago | Upscale Korean Dining β Jeong (No Star β)
First course: Sea Bream Crudo was nice, enjoyed the kimchi rhubarb granita πβοΈ Second: Salmon Tartare with crispy rice and doenjang β refreshing and well-balanced, perfect for summer βοΈ Scallop with a thick, beautifully seared crust β€οΈ β loved the mi-cuit texture. But the sesame spinach beside it was way too salty π. Still delicious with the bΓ©arnaise. Octopus instead of Korean fried chicken β sadly, the octopus was overcooked and too soft for my taste, though my girlfriend liked it π. As a Korean jjajangmyeon lover, I felt the sauce here was too light. Better off at a casual spot for that craving π. Main: Australian Wagyu was disappointing β overly strong aged flavor, and the brown butter carrot sauce felt unbalanced π₯©. Desserts were highlights though π β Huckleberry ice and coffee-strawberry pairing were both great! Overall, still a meal that suits Asian tastes. P.S. Servers werenβt very familiar with the dishes. Now I see why they donβt have a star β¨. #Chicago #MichelinRestaurant #KoreanCuisine #FoodReview #FineDining #AsianPalate #Jeong
