    The quality of the meat is outstanding, but the food overall is delicious! Everything we ate was amazing. We had the wagyu set, soybean soup, dumplings, tteokboki, steak tartare, raw oysters, monkey bread, and banana sesame. Homemade kimchi!!! All delicious and the service was phenomenal. Thomas, Kellen, Eric, and Alexis were all attentive and made everything perfect. Will be back every time we visit Chicago from Ohio. Could not have been happier with the experience.

    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.
