Behind a banchan shop, Hooni Kim’s small counter explores traditional Korean fermentation through a personal tasting menu. The unassuming arrival is part of its character: the meal’s ambition becomes apparent through the cooking and the conversation around it.\n\nFermented ingredients provide the centre of gravity. Doenjang, gochujang and ganjang bring different expressions of soybean, chilli and seasoning into the meal. Understanding those differences helps explain why a restrained-looking plate can carry so much interest. Kim uses the progression to introduce ingredients he has fermented and aged, giving the counter an unusually direct connection to the processes behind the food.\n\nTofu, pancakes, meat and rice give these flavours different settings. The sequence is personal and can change; the restaurant’s appeal is the way it makes those foundations visible. Handmade Korean ceramic service pieces reinforce the attention given to how the meal is presented. This suits diners interested in ingredients and technique as much as an elaborate-looking plate.\n\nChoose Meju’s counter experience specifically. The front shop and the tasting restaurant serve different purposes, and visiting one is not a reservation for the other. Dietary suitability is particularly important where fermented sauces and a set progression shape the meal; establish that before committing.\n\nWithin this collection, Meju is the most focused choice for exploring Korean ferments in Queens. It can be the reason for a Long Island City evening even if you are staying in Manhattan. A waterfront walk belongs earlier in the day, leaving the counter enough time to be the principal event rather than the final stop in a crowded food crawl.", "shortDescription": "A small Long Island City counter where Hooni Kim’s Korean ferments give the meal its distinctive character.", "whyVisit": "A small Long Island City counter where Hooni Kim’s Korean ferments give the meal its distinctive character.", "storyHeading": "Fermentation at a Queens tasting counter.", "categorySlug": "fine-dining", "schemaType": "Restaurant", "location": "Long Island City, Queens", "address": "5-28 49th Avenue, New York, NY", "city": "New York", "region": "New York", "country": "United States", "latitude": 40.743344, "longitude": -73.955302, "websiteUrl": "https://mejunyc.com/menu/", "bookingUrl": "https://mejunyc.com/menu/", "bookingText": "Book Meju’s counter through its official SevenRooms link.

Behind a banchan shop, Hooni Kim’s small counter explores traditional Korean fermentation through a personal tasting menu. The unassuming arrival is part of its character: the meal’s ambition becomes apparent through the cooking and the conversation around it.\n\nFermented ingredients provide the centre of gravity. Doenjang, gochujang and ganjang bring different expressions of soybean, chilli and seasoning into the meal. Understanding those differences helps explain why a restrained-looking plate can carry so much interest. Kim uses the progression to introduce ingredients he has fermented and aged, giving the counter an unusually direct connection to the processes behind the food.\n\nTofu, pancakes, meat and rice give these flavours different settings. The sequence is personal and can change; the restaurant’s appeal is the way it makes those foundations visible. Handmade Korean ceramic service pieces reinforce the attention given to how the meal is presented.

Korean fermentation-focused chef’s counter Estimated meal total Other drinks, supplements and booking charges can change the total.\n\nMeju gives Long Island City a dining destination worth travelling to in its own right. Behind a banchan shop, Hooni Kim’s small counter explores traditional Korean fermentation through a personal tasting menu. The unassuming arrival is part of its character: the meal’s ambition becomes apparent through the cooking and the conversation around it.\n\nFermented ingredients provide the centre of gravity. Doenjang, gochujang and ganjang bring different expressions of soybean, chilli and seasoning into the meal. Understanding those differences helps explain why a restrained-looking plate can carry so much interest. Kim uses the progression to introduce ingredients he has fermented and aged, giving the counter an unusually direct connection to the processes behind the food.\n\nTofu, pancakes, meat and rice give these flavours different settings.
