Lobster Dessert, Bland Short Ribs Mar Pricey New Jungsik

When Seoul’s Jungsik opened a New York spinoff late last year, the prix fixe menu was $125, the same price as the three-Michelin starred Eleven Madison Park. Bold move.

I recall a relatively empty dining room in September. Jungsik quickly balked, sort of, lowering its five-course menu with lobster to $122, a paltry $3 discount. Not bold enough.
