One of the biggest nights for America’s restaurants took place when Michelin announced its newest slate of stars for New York, Chicago and Washington D.C. In an annual ceremony held on Monday, December 9 to award chefs, restaurateurs and their teams, Michelin ranked the city’s top eateries from one star (“high-quality cooking, worth a stop”) to two stars (“excellent cooking, worth a detour”) and up to the highly coveted three stars (”exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey”).
For the first time since 2012, when Eleven Madison Park joined the elite group of three-star restaurants, a Manhattan eatery moved up from two-star status to the elite three-star tier. Jungsik is officially the first Korean restaurant in the United States to earn three stars. Only thirteen restaurants nationwide currently hold three stars.
New York City’s New Michelin Stars
New York is now home to five three-star restaurants: Eleven Madison Park, Le Bernardin, Masa and Per Se all retained the highest rating, while Jungsik, a Korean fine dining restaurant in the West Village, earned three stars for the first time.
“Jungsik has always been impressive and special but there was something so meticulous to the meal; a hyper refinement of flavor and textures creating a meal that was far from monotonous and even at times playful,” a Michelin inspector shared.
The tasting menu at Jungsik is priced at $295, with a standard wine pairing available for $200 and a premium wine pairing available to add on for $500. A la carte menu items are also served at the bar.

Several restaurants earned a star for the first time, including Bar Miller, a sustainable sushi spot in Alphabet City; the newly reopened Cafe Boulud; Corima, a seafood-centric Mexican eatery in Chinatown; Jook Ok, a fine dining Korean restaurant that opened in 2016; La Bastide by Andrea Calstier; Noksu; an omakase counter notable for being underground; Williamsburg sushi destination Shota Omakase; and upscale Chinese restaurant Yingtao.
