Joo Ok
Traditional Korean
A freight elevator hauls you 16 floors above 32nd Street to a dining room that feels like a traditional Korean home transplanted into the Manhattan skyline. The chef's tasting menu holds two Michelin stars and moves through courses that pull from classical Korean cooking while doing things with perilla oil and geoduck that a grandmother would find baffling but probably delicious. The warm sunchoke tea that closes the meal is a genuinely disarming touch.
