Jungsik has long been lauded for pioneering New Korean cuisine, introducing New Yorkers and the world to Korean flavors in elevated dishes and their presentations. Flying somewhat under the radar are the innovative desserts crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Yoonjung Oh, who in keeping with the restaurant’s mission designs them based on diverse ingredients and flavors of Korean cuisine that are works of art.

Chef Yoonjung began her professional culinary career at Aquavit before joining Jungsik and working under renowned Pastry Chef Eunji Lee before being elevated to the position of Executive Pastry Chef in 2021. She has filled the role seamlessly, creating her own eye-catching desserts.

Jungsik’s recently expanded a la carte Bar Menu provides ample opportunity for dessert lovers to sample Chef Yoonjung’s creations like:

  • Carrot, composed of carrot cake, with cream cheese mousse and pecan praline, encased in white chocolate and painted to look like a real carrot. It is garnished with carrot greens and presented in a planter filled with carrot cake crumble that resembles dirt, served with black tea ice cream and carrot cake crumble

  • NY-Seoul, Choux pastry with brown rice ice cream and Tahitian vanilla ice cream.
  • Black Truffle Chocolate, chocolate caramel, caraibe cremeux, and grilled ice cream
