“Pumpkin crab curry at KJUN. More earthy complex flavor and more contrast since it's more of a chef restaurant.”

AI-generated summary
Korean-Cajun from a chef who cooked in New Orleans. The is the one people pick over everything else at the table, and the watermelon rind pickle has its own fan club. The jambalaya and rib land too. Some tried it twice and still came away thinking it was only ok.

“that combo with a yuzu dressing was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The chicken cracklins were a decadent snack and the shrimp and oyster po'boy with pickled green tomatoes was out of this world.”

“My last holy shit this is phenomenal was at KJUN. The chef is doing korean cajun fusion and she worked at Dooky Chase and many other New Orleans restaurants like Restaurant August - and even more here in NY…the chicken was perfection.”

“Really creative food with the nicest staff and vibes. The watermelon salad was one of the best dishes I had all year (I still dream of that watermelon rind kimchi). Also loved the jambalaya and the honey butter chips!”

“Korean-Cajun is a cool concept but it’s better on paper than its executed IMO. Okra kimchi was fun, goguma pecan pie as well, everything else was tasty but not memorable.”

“KJUN is a hole in the wall small spot near Grand Central that does a very interesting Korean-Cajun fusion. It's not exactly what you're looking for but I figure that they're worth a mention.”
