Sungchul Shim, formerly of Per Se and most recently Neta, opens his first solo project Kochi in Hell’s Kitchen

KOCHI - Korean for ‘skewer’- a tasting menu of skewered dishes as well as menu items inspired by traditional Korean cuisine that’s built around seasonality and balance.

We are proud to present this menu as an homage to traditional Korean flavors elevated by the hand of gastronomic technique. Incorporating the freshest local ingredients daily, this is our exquisite interpretation of Korean cuisine.

From the OpenTable editors: Le Bernardin and Per Se alum Sungchul Shim dazzles diners with a nine-course Korean tasting menu of grilled skewers you should eat with your hands. You can expect tons of imaginative dishes like croquettes in beet soup, all while seated in the elegant marble and wood-clad interiors of the MICHELIN-Starred Hell's Kitchen restaurant.

    The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding, but what left a bad taste in our mouths was being charged $44 for a White Lotus makgeolli. Considering this bottle typically retails for $12–$14 in stores, a price point of $30–$35 would have been more reasonable. However, $44 feels excessive. We also ordered cocktails priced at $19–$20, which we didn’t mind since the bartender clearly put effort into crafting them and they were delicious. But for a pre-packaged drink, $44 just doesn’t feel fair.

    We tried the Brunch on Sunday. We had a fantastic experience. The quality and creativity of the dishes was great. We tried some cocktails and a great Argentinian red wine. I definitely recommend this culinary experience.The Chef and his staff provided outstanding service.

    There’s nothing special about the space. Small and crowded. Food was just OK. Nothing bad but nothing stands out neither. In a word not a 500 dollars dinner that I expected for sure

    We visited for brunch Ordered 2 signature margarita cocktails which were excellent then eggs Benedict and shrimp burger My burger has to be the best I have ever eaten succulent shrimp in a crispy coating sweet brioche bun and a spicy slaw side of perfectly seasoned chips my partner enjoyed his eggs but maybe should have been a little more adventurous with his choice! We were gifted a couple of extra sides the waffle and a Korean sausage dish both were delicious. Service was attentive our only issue was restaurant was a little chilly.
