Juche calls itself a k-lounge, tucked into a small space on Payne Avenue in Saint Paul's Payne-Phalen neighborhood. The name — pronounced JOO-chay — is drawn from the Korean word 주체, which the restaurant translates as "Curated Destiny," and the room is described as curated by a Korean who was raised in Minnesota.
