Kochi

Chef Sung Shim, previously of Le Bernardin and Per Se, first opened Kochi in 2019. The Hell's Kitchen destination went on to earn a Michelin star and a Time Out New York Best of the City award for its Korean royal court and street food-influenced menus, among other accolades. Today, its nine-course skewer tasting is $145 for preparations featuring American Wagyu, king salmon and a few pearls of caviar. Shim also operates five-star Mari restaurant nearby.
