Jungsik Seoul

Jungsik is on Seolleung-ro 158-gil in the Gangnam District, a fifteen-minute walk from Bongeunsa Temple. The restaurant holds two Michelin stars, sits at no. 53 on La Liste, and earned a 2024 Wine Spectator Excellence Award.

The room runs smart, favoring a clean, restrained presentation of modern Korean cuisine. While neighbors in Gangnam lean into volume or heavy spectacle, this kitchen focuses on the precision of the plate. It is a place for a deliberate meal rather than a quick stop between shops at the nearby COEX mall. The menu shows a clear lineage of creative technique, proving the best kitchens in this part of the city do not need to shout to be heard.
