Itโs been a year-plus since Joule moved from its narrow storefront on 45th into a capacious refurbished warehouse on Stone Way. The wallpaper is still notably great: blue-on-blue damask thatโs florally sedate until you notice the repeating jewels inside atomic-orbital rings. And chef/owners Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchiโs Korean-influenced food is, possibly, better than everโthe cold-smoked escolar, the tatsoi greens with warm Chinese sausage vinaigrette and smoked tea egg, the black rice risotto with salted pollock confit and fennel, the maitake mushrooms with pine nutsโฆ well, Iโm out of room, and hungry.
