Jungsik

Had dinner at Jungsik the other night and it was really good!  Before going, I was told it was a "Korean French fusion" restaurant, so I was skeptical as to how good it would be.  We went on a weekday night and it was surprisingly packed.  I looked up the restaurant afterwards and found out it was awarded 2 stars by Michelin recently!  There were no empty tables and we were even booted out from the table (more on that in a sec).

We decided to share the dishes so we ordered the Octopus, Oyster, Bossam, Sea Urchin, Thai Lobster, Gangnam Chicken, Jungsik Steak, and Fish.  The food was sooooooo good, and filling even though the portions were pretty tiny.  The wine list was huge and we had a Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs, had no idea what it was, turns out it is a sparkling wine.  So after we ordered dessert (Green Team Cremeux, Plum, and Sweet Potato Tart), the waiter comes by and says if we would mind moving to the bar.  We asked him why we had to move and he didn't really give us an answer.  We told him that we had been there for only 2 hours so why did we have to move and he offered to comp the desserts.  We saw people standing by the bar waiting so we assumed they had overbooked, so we were nice enough to move.  Not a great way to end the meal but it was good overall.  Sad I didn't take any pictures of the food though.....
