Jua (*) NYC. Started off very strong but the mains left something to be desired.

  1. Really enjoyed Jua after an underwhelming experience at Crown Shy this weekend. Much more what you would expect from a 1 star.

    My favorite dishes were the Caviar Kim and the Tomato & Tuna. The Tomato and tuna is new on the menu this summer and was really quite good.

    My only complaint would be that those 2 dishes were the most memorable by a long shot and they were pretty early on in the meal. They set a high expectation that some of the main dishes didn’t seem meet.

    Overall I really enjoyed Jua for the price and it seems like one of the more affordable experiences of this caliber. Just over $700 for all the add ons and wine pairing for 2 people

  2. The caviar kim is soooo good. I’d be satisfied with just a plate of those. Was the uni Kim a supplement?

  3. Whoah looks like they cut a course? I think we had a tomato and razor clam dish AND a spot prawn one last time before the jook and after the kims. But I did like the Kalbi as a main last time.

    Love you bunches is a fun wine, but that is a CHEAPY to pair at such a nice restaurant.

  4. FYI you can ask for a second helping of caviar & Kim if they have extra for the night. They charged me $35 per piece
