“I thought it was ok, but the po boys were definitely the highlight of what I did have.”

“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.”
H3
“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.”

“Strawberry Yummy at KJUN used fermented strawberries and cornbread, and is fantastic cap to an also-amazing meal there.”

“Kjun’s gochujang andouille grits, kimchi jambalaya”

“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.”

“KJUN is a Korean - Cajun fusion spot and I really enjoyed their poboy.”
H2
“Ok, kill two birds with one stone and get a reservation for KJUN. It's Creole Korean fusion and it'll certainly be one of the most unique, iconic flavors you'll have while you're in the city.”
H2
“when I went with a few friends, we all thought the po'boy was our favorite dish between the po'boy/fried chicken/smash burger. I remember taking a bite of the po'boy and instantly regretted getting the fried chicken because the po'boy was so much better.”

H2
“The watermelon salad at KJUN! Incredible.”
H2
“I think KJUN’s great but you be careful about what you get. Their Seafood Jajangmyeon is amazing, but their chicken and waffles is not so great.”
H2
“Kjun is my go-to rec irl! I don’t know of anyone else doing Korean-cajun fusion, much less at the level Chef Jae is at. It’s really something special.”
H2
“It’s excellent but it’s more southern than Korean. Gumbo and Jambalaya are great.”
H2
“Very good chicken sandwich and other dishes also worth a try.”
H2

H2
“Just had Kjun this week - delicious, unique food, great service.”
H2
“I would hit up [KJUN](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ztdk4k3bciisNuso9). It's a really small spot that does a unique Korean + Cajun fusion that you probably can't find in Korea (or anywhere else for that matter lol).”
H2
“KJUN in Murray Hill is worth a visit.”
H2
“KJUN has a fusion one that's really good.”

“KJUN is delicious—definitely worth a visit even if it isn’t traditional.”
H2
“We did the Family Meal and the food just kept coming, highly recommend, food was amazing and it was such a welcoming experience.”
H2
“But they all acknowledge it’s very well executed, prices fairly reflect ingredient quality and labor, and the atmosphere is good. Their ribs and chicken are terrific for catering.”
H2
“Came here to say this — just had their jambalaya and it was incredible.”
H2
“My top pick would be the. KJUN BBQ shrimp with a side of their grits, but this is a Korean fusion and not the most authentic.”
H2
“definitely worth checking out!”
H2
“The plop of the okra kimchi from a quart container will never leave my soul 3/10”
H2
“That Cajun burger on the lunch menu is legit my fav in all of nyc”

“seafood jjangmyeon from [KJUN](https://share.google/dmzvbgZLDS4VcPyQ7)! so criminally underrated”

“Kjun is really good, it’s a little pricey though and likely over 30-45 pp.”
H2
“the few times I’ve enjoyed a potato salad with it were golden hofs banchan, Kjun and eel bar”

“I loved some dishes (boudin balls, chicken skin eggs) more than others (kimchi jambalaya, poboy, fried chicken was meh). Overall not bad but a little expensive.”
H2
“Kjun is super unique and Korean/Cajun fusion. Tiny place but good for lunch or dinner in that neighborhood. Definitely worth checking out”
