"Price: $215 Noksu, Atomix, Jua—there are so many Korean fine dining options nowadays. But Meju exists in a category of its own. This eight-seat counter in Long Island City is essentially a one-man show, led by a chef who will talk your head off about Korean fermentation techniques. Consisting of around seven courses, the food is more homey than it is modern, with dishes like an ultra-concentrated doenjang jjigae, and fried seaperch served alongside a dab of 128-year-old soy sauce.
