New York had a culinary all-star lineup this year.
On Monday, Michelin Guide unveiled its 2024 selections for Washington D.C., Chicago and New York City. The Big Apple was served up a smorgasbord of stars, including their first new three-starred restaurant in 12 years.
That honor went to Jungsik, Jungsik Yim’s namesake Korean restaurant that opened in 2011, which was upgraded from two stars before, per a recent release.
According to Michelin, this promotion makes them the first Korean restaurant in the US to be awarded a third star — the Guide’s highest rating for a single restaurant — as well as Gotham’s first new three-star entry since Eleven Madison Park was bestowed the honor in 2012.
“We are thrilled to welcome a new three-star restaurant, Jungsik New York to the esteemed Michelin Star family,” declared Gwendal Poullennec International Director of the Michelin Guides. “The originality and impeccable presentation at Jungsik New York created a distinct experience for our Inspectors collectively.”
Helmed by executive chef Daeik Kim, Jungsik is often viewed as a pioneer of NYC’s contemporary Korean scene, serving modern takes on traditional banchan.
