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.

    I booked a reservation with Kochi one month in advance, for a meal celebrating an important anniversary. The restaurant texted me at 5:00p on the night of the reservation to inform me that they were closing for a “technical issue.” This type of last minute cancellation gave me insufficient time to find alternative plans. Extremely unprofessional!

    The holiday menu was simply delicious! The service was phenomenal. I appreciated that the chef made changes to the menu to accommodate someone in our party with shellfish allergies.

    Too expensive for the experience we had. The food was not to the level of a 1 Michelin star restaurant.

    Amazing experience, the staff and food was lovely. Would definitely recommend. The only negative thing was that there was no offer of redoing my drink after it was spilled over our table and instead given the half empty one. Nevertheless an amazing team

    Wow. This may have been one of the best meals of my life… seriously. We had the tasting menu. And we love tasting menus - have had them all over the world and this rivaled a Michelin star restaurant in Rome (Imago - definitely check it out). Service impeccable. We had a 7pm show to attend and I asked ahead of time (on Open Table) if with a 5pm res (when they opened), could we make the show without a problem? And - they were totally on board - waitstaff were efficient, informative and friendly. Almost everything was on skewers, and I found out the next day (talking to a Korean friend about this gem) that “kochi” is Korean for “skewer!” Standouts were the beef (skirt steak I think) and the octopus but nothing tasted less than excellent.
