Chicago Michelin ⭐ Jeong — A Yuzu Paradise? 🍋

Went with friends to try Chicago's 1-star Korean-Asian fusion spot Jeong. Overall it was solid — no misses, but no wow moments either. Rating: 3.5/5. 📍 First course: Yuzu-flavored prawn with enoki mushrooms — refreshing. 📍 Second: Salmon tartare with crispy rice — still that yuzu aroma, sweet & tangy. 📍 Third: Fish cake (traditional Korean style) with shrimp, scallop, and creamy sauce — just okay. 🌟 BEST DISH — Scallop Arrived with a gorgeous seared aroma — tender inside, lightly charred outside, creamy sauce. So good! 📍 Sixth course: Duck with grits — crispy skin but a bit oily. 📍 Final savory: Australian Wagyu with rice and banchan — filling but beef lacked richness and marbling. 📍 Desserts: Ginger cookie/mousse with cranberry sorbet + tea cake with almond ice cream — not too sweet (a plus!). Meal pacing felt quicker than other Michelin spots. Cozy, intimate space. Fun detail: even the bathroom hand cream was yuzu-scented — loved it! 🧴✨ #ChicagoEats #Jeong #MichelinStar #KoreanFusion #YuzuEverything #SolidNotStellar
