Working as a Chef for over 40 years that was my first experience with a Korean fine dining restaurant (with some modern Western cooking techniques).
Quality of ingredients was superb. Loved the dry aged African pompano fish out of the Andaman Sea and the organic locally grown duck. The lotus root and seed dish was lovely and the egg custard with the French caviar had so many different flavour levels.

All dishes were perfectly balanced (except, perhaps the cold noodles which could have had a bit more seasoning).

Desserts were really delicious with combinations of products that usually you wouldn’t associate with desserts.

Service was superb and Chef Henry did explain every dish very carefully and you can see that he’s very passionate about his food.

Exterior is very minimalistic and fits very well with the gorgeous food presentations. We had a great view to the chefs preparing all the food.

Couple points for improvements; get a good steak knife for the duck and the pork and we sat right below the ac unit which was a bit too noisy.

Overall experience- superb and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone to try.

We will be back!

Juksunchae is a super high concept restaurant featuring Korean food deconstructed, with some Italian elements, presented omakase style. Each dish is presented and explained by the chef. This chef is hands on, super geeky and involved in these dishes. Only thing missing was sparkling wine on the wine list. The desserts are superb.

I had a meal at Juksunchae since February 2024. At the beginning I was annoyed with several YouTubers who took videos with loud noises and they also interrupted my meal from their flash light.

However all the unease feelings disappeared when I started the first bite. Foods are well presented like an art piece, and they are all delicious.

I loved to hear chefs explained the background story of every dish, it makes me have more understanding of the original idea of how the dishes were developed.

Sad to say I’m disappointed since we were so hyped going to this place. We started the course by ordering Sake, the first 3 sakes from the menu were not available. We ended up drinking a random bottle the waitress offered us.

Most of the dishes were so so, or I would rather say confusing. The only dish that has the quality we were expecting from was the Prawn. It was really good and since the Prawn was the first dish for the main course, we were excited that all the main courses might be good as well, then it’s back to the so so quality just like all the appetizers.

Also we were eating with another big group of customers, the lady who were the one doing the story telling ended up yelling and we missed most of the part she explained about the food.

We were very excited to finally dine at the famous Korean fine dining place in Bangkok, but the Kimchi with vegetables and the cold noodles really disappointed us.

At the end of the course we were asked if we’re happy with the meal, so we said what we thought and the waitress said because the head chef wasn’t there on that day. It was a pity we went on the day without the head chef without knowing it before.
