meal service on the 12:05am flight JFK-ICN

Just snagged an award J ticket on the flight leaving JFK just after midnight.
Odd hours.
Will they serve a full dinner (fond memories of a J dinner on KE from a few years ago). Trying to switch to the 2PM flight, but right now my partner has the only J seat available for a DL award on that flight. Hoping that as our March date comes close they may release a second ticket, but right now opted to fly separately and enjoy the 380 and J in KE rather than the other DL award alternatives.

Still a LONG flight, and hoping I'll get to enjoy a full meal.
Anyone with experience?

Thanks

According to the service schedule, you will have a "meal" during hours 2 and 8. I'd presume the first meal won't be as grand as the second since they know most want to get to slee.

THANKS!
Would love to see a menu, but the graph is quite useful.
I'm taking the 00:50 flight' partner is taking the 14:00 (unless as the date approaches I can swing the change.) Seems such a shame, since he is not a fan of Korean food, and I even grow and pickle my own geh-nyep. For complex reasons can't switch places.

I'm sure you can find a menu on a flight report somewhere. To be honest the bimbimbap they'll serve in J is the same as Y, so it's kind of a waste of a fine dining business class opportunity." Your friend will be ok haha. From JFK they won't do anything wildly Korean or unique.

I've taken this flight several times in J and the catering is nothing special. The main meal is served after take off and they serve "breakfast" a few hours prior to arrival.

You have much better food options in NY before heading to the airport.

Attached are pictures of the menus for KE86 (JFK to ICN) and KE85 (ICN to JFK).

I actually tried the bibimbap on my last segment between ICN and DFW. I had 6 meals on my recent trip and got tired of the food since I had almost everything twice in J. LOL
