Kochi Korean Restaurant in New York, NY offers an authentic Korean BBQ experience alongside traditional dishes, all served in a lively, modern setting. Celebrated for its premium meats, bold marinades, and attentive service, Kochi welcomes both newcomers and seasoned Korean cuisine lovers on a flavorful journey into Korea’s rich culinary heritage. Whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying a casual night out, Kochi provides the perfect backdrop to savor vibrant, authentic Korean flavors.
Dispelling the notion that tasting menus must be lengthy and extravagant, Kochi places its open kitchen front and center, where a talented young team rapidly crafts an array of mouthwatering grilled bites designed to be enjoyed by hand—befitting the restaurant’s name, which means “skewer” in Korean. Chef Sungchul Shim draws on his Korean roots and fine-dining expertise to deliver a menu that’s both solid and playful. Highlights include a bowl of finely diced raw steelhead trout crowned with pickled cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and tomato-basil foam, alongside Iberico pork prepared three ways: char siu, ssamjang, and skewered with pickled apple. The meal concludes on a refreshing note with blackberry lime sorbet accompanied by Calpico and smoked vanilla oil foam and mezcal-soaked blackberries.
