Quick lunch meeting turned romantic thanks to Burrata Cheese Salad and the mellow jazz in the background. Peaches and basil? Surprisingly dreamy combo.

About the restaurant

Acclaimed chef Jiho Kim (DdoBar) opens Joomak, a fresh iteration of his former Michelin-starred restaurant, Joomak Banjum, at Maison Hudson New York. “Joomak,” is an elevated update, a jewel box set in a more intimate and luxurious space with just 27 seats. The menu features New American cuisine rooted in Korean flavors across an eight-course tasting menu, complemented by a robust wine program featuring French-forward and new-world wines alike.

We came in with a big group, no reservation, and they still found us a great spot outside. Ordered almost every appetizer — calamari and ceviche were our faves. Super fresh and vibrant.

Whoever invented that Tuna Tartare with crispy nori deserves a raise. I would write poetry for that dish.

The food is really very good, except for the bread. An Italian restaurant with great sauces, and no substantial bread to soak them up with?? a few small, meager, thinly cut and aerated slices is not what I think of as Italian bread. But the menu is creative, the service excellent.
