   This was our second visit to Jeong and we loved it even more. The food is absolutely stellar with service to match. Both times everyone in our group enjoyed all of the dishes which is testament to the chef and his creativity in building the flavor profiles. The salmon and seared scallops are typically favorites followed by the wagyu for meat lovers. Our wine drinkers thought the pairing was thoughtful and definitely added to the experience. Our favorite cocktail was the Cochujang followed by the Yuza. There are alcohol-free cocktails and noteworthy teas including some decaf (try the sobacha which has a nice earthiness). Parking can be a challenge so allow time to find a space.

   This place is extremely outstanding and also underrated! They were able to accommodate pescatarian and dairy free restriction. Highly recommended!

   I am excited about every aspect of our dining experience at Jeong. We were greeted by Jennifer, who is one of the owners. She was so friendly and interested in making sure we had a special dining experience. The room is beautiful and has a very warm, minimalist feel. Every course was 10 out of 10. The attention to detail was evident in each dish, which was delicious and artfully presented. All of the dishes are very unique, and there wasn't a single course that was not outstanding. All four people in our party loved the salmon tartare and the perfectly seared scallop. Yet, we raved about all of the courses. The Jeong wine pairings were excellent too. The dinnerware for each course was unique, and the wine glasses were elegant. The dining experience at Jeong is very special. I am already looking at my calendar for a time to return. It was truly exceptional.

   Always an awesome time at Jeong. Their menu never disappoints and has a unique style in Korean fusion.

   The vibe is good. But the food tastes doesn’t match the price. Kind of too salty for me. Have to say the fish cake doesn’t fit the fine dining menu.

   A fall from grace. We used to love jeong and it was one of our favourite restaurants in Chicago but this time it was really disappointing which I hope was a one time thing. We won’t be returning any time soon. It is a couple of weeks since we ate there and I mainly remember the bad courses which says something. Starter was an unexciting shrimp dish. Another not so great course was a very earthy sorbet / granola which seemed more like a breakfast dish. In general, dishes lacked the depth of flavor we have come to expect here. Furthermore, the vibe has changed considerably. It was packed with glitzy Christmas ornaments and servers were all wearing brightly colored aprons. No problem with this but it is very different from the quiet, sophisticated and almost verging on austere vibe that jeong used to have.

    I was celebrating my daughter's 24th birthday. From start to finish the service was impeccable. My daughter is a pescatarian and loves korean food which is one reason I choose this restaurant. Although being a prefixed menu, they were very accommodating in offer alternate no meat plates. The drinks were very good. The staff was very attentive through out the evening. Overall, was a very satisfying evening. Would highly recommend.
