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.

We are able to accommodate vegetarians, aversions to red meat, shellfish, seafood, dairy, nut, gluten (if soy and soy sauce is consumable) and alcohol (if cooked alcohol is consumable) with at least a day of notice in advance.

    Kochi was a delightful dining experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. The food was flavorful and well-executed, and the drink pairings added an extra layer of enjoyment. The tasting menu was well-paced and thoughtfully portioned—enough to savor every dish without feeling overwhelmed or overly full. The service was excellent, with the staff attentive and friendly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I left feeling completely satisfied, appreciating both the care that went into the meal and the relaxed, balanced experience. Kochi is a place I’d happily return to and would recommend to anyone looking for a memorable evening out.
