Jungsik is chef Yim Jung-sik’s restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and holds two Michelin stars in the MICHELIN Guide Seoul & Busan 2026.

The Michelin inspectors credit Yim, with his Seoul and New York restaurants, with introducing Korean cuisine to the world. He draws on familiar dishes such as gimbap and bibimbap to create something innovative yet authentic. The set menu, built on ingredients from abalone to duck, begins with banchan, and supplementary courses can be added; the wine list is extensive. The MICHELIN Guide lists Jungsik New York with three stars.
