It wasn't too busy, and since I was by myself I actually managed to snag a reservation the only two nights before! When I got in, they immediately checked my coat, backpack (I had come straight from work), and umbrella -- and throughout the night, the service was great and attentive. Since I had come by myself and it was a less busy night, I think they had a couple waitstaff in training, which was pretty cool to see. As a result, I didn't have just one waiter throughout the evening, but was served dishes by multiple servers over the course of the meal (which I didn't mind, but was definitely an interesting experience!).Of course, the food was the most important part of the experience, and it definitely didn't disappoint! We started off with the fantastic (though strangely arranged) banchan, and I really enjoyed the brioche + beef tartare as well as the egg soufflé, which was cheekily served in an egg shell.I want to list highlights, but every time I start listing them in my head I end up listing almost the entire menu! That being said, I especially enjoyed the octopus, langoustine, and the squab out of the main entrées. Everything was good, but those definitely stood out as the best! The sauce that came with the octopus complimented it very well, and I think I got so excited after the octopus that I forgot to take a picture of the next course (hence why there's no picture of the thornyhead :')). I had been to Jua before I came here, and the langoustine was very reminiscent of one of the pieces that I had had there, with a strong sauce that went perfectly with the fish. I think my favorite was probably the squab, although it's hard to say. I paid extra for this since it was a supplement, but I really enjoyed it, as the meat was super juicy and flavorful and the vegetables and dressing were also delicious.Between the entrées and desserts, they served a persimmon dish as a palate cleanser. It did its job perfectly, with a really light and refreshing taste.Out of the desserts, I really liked the black truffle chocolate (which was super cute and shaped like a pinecone), but I also really enjoyed the "carrot" (carrot shaped white chocolate with carrot cake inside) + salted black sesame ice cream. Again, it's hard to pick favorites, because the hodugwaja was also great. I think the chocolate pinecone stood out because it honestly tasted like a hot chocolate but in a pastry. I didn't feel like the black truffle added anything taste-wise though, which might be my only criticism of the entire meal.One question I saw a few times online was whether to go to Jungsik, Atomix, or Jua. I haven't tried Atomix yet, but there are very clear similarities between Jungsik and Jua as I mentioned above. I would say the flavor profile of these two restaurants is very close, with Jungsik potentially having more nuance(?) in flavor while Jua is a bit more bold. Jua also had more of a "shock factor" for me since it was my first time trying a restaurant by Hoyoung Kim, and really blew my mind -- which resulted in Jungsik not being as mind-blowing because the palate is somewhat similar, and also less bold. If you're newer to fine dining or are on a tighter budget, Jua would probably be a good starting point to see if you want to make the jump. Jungsik is definitely a more elevated experience though, so if you have the budget for it, I would recommend giving it a try, too!
