Kjun finds a new home inside Hi-Collar in the East Village
Following an April debut in a ghost kitchen on the Upper East Side, chef Jae Jung is now moving Kjun her buzzy Korean-Cajun takeout and delivery operation downtown. Jung tells Eater in an email that starting Friday, Kjun will be operating out of the downstairs kitchen at swanky Japanese cafe Hi-Collar, at 231 East Ninth Street, between Second and Third avenues, in the East Village. The restaurant’s updated delivery zone has shifted accordingly, and now covers much of middle and lower Manhattan. Kjun’s full menu, including the galbi grillades and grits and Louisiana crawfish bibimbap, will remain takeout and delivery-only for now while Jung searches for a permanent location for the restaurant.
