Modern Korean Cuisine, or What Korean Cuisine Looks Like Through The Lens of Michelin Starred Cooking? - Korean Bistro Bar Pop-Up by Sunny Jang [Thoughts + Pics]

Good stuff!

the result was surprisingly crunchy(!) and refreshing. It reminded us a little of a great Naengmyeon (Chilled Korean Noodles dish)

Clam noodles always sound like a good idea, and I’m a fan of geoduck especially.

There’s a deft touch to all of her dishes. Nothing gets into the “tweezer food” category of super fine dining. Instead, it feels casual, approachable, and the flavors are interesting.

Chef Jang also mentions she’s worked on a pop-up series for Korean Royal Cuisine, and might bring that back next.

@Chowseeker1999

she’s doing this as a 1-person show (going to Farmers Markets, buying everything she needs, cooking, cleaning, even washing the dishes) (she did have 2 servers helping this evening, thankfully).

Respect! Sounds exciting. I like that there’s some kind of freestyle, a la carte, non tweezer food, but with a deft hand not just heavy flavor bombs. Jang’s Royal Cuisine also looks quite good just from some pics on Instagram. I look forward to seeing what she may do with ingredients like abalone, jeju fluke, black cod, skate wing.

Looks like she’s part of a documentary filming, so one to watch out for. Glad you brought chef Jang’s place to our attention.
