    Jeong is one of the best restaurants in Chicago. Every single course of our 7-course tasting menu was perfect--super imaginative, beautiful, and above all delicious. The service is super personal, thoughtful, and caring. There's a gentle sense of humor to everything they do. It's like you're in a friend's house who happens to be the best cook you've ever seen. The drinks were wonderful too. My wife and I just couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more or felt better cared for. We will be back as soon as we can be. Thanks so much.

    While loads of chefs take inspirations from Korean cuisine and apply it to their American or French styled dishes, Jeong takes that idea and turns it on its head; Korean cuisine forms the basis of the menu with global influences. The 8 course menu (and wine pairings) were exceptionally well executed. The table favorite was the seared scallop served with a bit of clementine infused beurre blanc that brought a light citrus note to the delicate butteriness of the scallop. The accompanying Chardonnay from Foxen in the Santa Maria Valley highlighted the dish's salinity without being overwhelming.

    We celebrated our anniversary at Jeong and it was one of the best tasting menus I have ever experienced. The food was tasty, exceptional, and unique. We went with the wine pairing, which I highly recommend. My partner and I wanted to split a cocktail before our meal and they took the time to make sure it was special for us. Overall, the service was fantastic, the food was outstanding, and the restaurant is cozy, romantic, and intimate. Joeng is a gem.

    Undoubtedly one of Chicago’s best restaurant. Simply stupendous. Great wine list (and creative) — but based on the cocktail I had last night to kick off my dinner, I may have a new go-to pairing strategy. ;-)

    The food is an amazing. We liked every dish! We also had a chance to try a few things from their cocktail and wine list. I did find some of the cocktails a bit too sweet and don’t recommend those paired with the food (because they overpowered the food). Stick to wine (or tea) if you want something to enjoy along side the courses.

    Went there to catch up with a friend, we just made a last minute reservation without reading the menu and were pleasantly surprised. I would describe this place as classy and cozy! Very good ambience and the servers were great! They have a seafood based tasting menu which surprisingly they were able to alter as my friend did not eat raw meat, and I preferred no red meat. It was an 8 course meal and I liked everything on it except for one. It was such a great fusion meal experience! Now that I know they have rotating menus, I would definitely like to go back again someday! It was kind of dark so I didn’t take too many food pictures but the presentation was amazing! P.S. they do not offer food outside of tasting menu P.P.S. Definitely advise to check in your coat. The coats are heated upon return and was such a plus when you walk out into Chicago cold after a hearty meal.

    Amazing little place with a strong tasting menu. I found 6.5 out of the 8 dishes to be perfect, and the other 1.5 dishes I felt were solid but there were some missed opportunities. Very interesting and creative ways to incorporate Korean elements, either via ingredient used or flavor profile developed. Surprised Jeong isn't starred already. At $135, price is very reasonable. Would come back every quarter to enjoy the rotating menu.

    We went to Jeong to celebrate my birthday, a month late due to various illnesses going through our family. Jeong was incredibly gracious when we had to reschedule twice! The wait was well worth it. Jen and her team were incredibly hospitable. I loved how warm and friendly everyone was, which is welcome change compared to what you might experience at some of the other, larger restaurant operations offering a tasting menu. The crab, scallop, sea bream, and kkaetnip were my favorite courses. I would've happily devoured a bigger portion of those. I wanted to lick clementine sauce with the scallop. The kkaetnip and hi-chew courses were fun, surprising delights and unlike anything I've ever had. Each dish was beautifully plated, seasoned well, and cooked to perfection. I have been ordering their kimchi & beef holiday pie every year, but I don't know why we waited so long to finally dine in. We will be back!

    Amazing, we have not been to a restaurant that nailed it on every level for a LONG time. The food was unique and delicious. I noted a few diet restrictions on the reservation and they accommodated seamlessly. The service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. The tables are well spaced so you can't over hear others. Really one of the best dining experiences this year. The listing says its casual but it is not casual inside, very nice. Feel free to dress up! Highly recommend.
