Sungchul Shim, chef and owner of the Michelin star restaurant Kochi opens his second Michelin star restaurant Mari in Hell's Kitchen. At Mari (roll in Korean), Sung offers a tasting menu of street-food inspired Korean hand rolls, complemented by an extensive wine list and a selection of Korean spirits like soju and chungju.

Mari is offering a $145 per person seasonal tasting menu (along with a beverage pairing for $110) that explores the many facets of Korean cuisine through small plates and inventive hand rolls.

Due to the nature of our tasting menu, we are unable to accommodate vegetarian/vegan diets, gluten-free diets (if soy is not okay to consume), rice-free diets, allergies to fish, allium, sesame seeds/oil, and aversion to raw seafood. If you have any questions regarding food restrictions, please contact us before making a reservation.

*Reservations are available 30 days in advance and released at midnight daily.

From the OpenTable editors: The MICHELIN-Starred Kochi team's handroll destination is one of the most thrilling omakases you can experience in the city. Bites of grilled trout, king crab, and duck breast are so good that this Midtown restaurant, too, has its own MICHELIN Star.

    We had a fantastic experience. The quality and creativity of the dishes was great, loved the fusion elements in the tasting menu. The quality of the cocktails and the wine pairing was of the highest level. The Chef and his staff provided outstanding service. I definitely recommend this dining experience.

    Excellent service from the staff. Foods are a little too much on the salty side but overall positive experience.

    Dinner at Mari was (again) exceptional. Amazing food and great staff. It's a good value for the quality. The wine pairing is ok, but I'd say that it is a bit overpriced for the wines you get. Maybe get a cocktail (they have really good ones!) or a bottle of champagne or a nice white wine to go along the amazing tasting menu.

    The gap between courses was mind-numbingly long. One small piece of food would be delivered with 10-15 minutes between. Our meal took two hours and 40 minutes. The food isn’t bad, but it isn’t worth the waiting either. Plus the setting is very close to adjacent tables, so conversation with ones party isn’t very comfortable. I suggest lying and saying you have a show to catch even if you don’t. I’m glad to have tried it, but it is one and done for me.

    Mari is one of the best restaurants in Hell's Kitchen. We're lucky to have such a place in the neighborhood. Their team is super kind and attentive. The food is delicious and paced super well. While you'll leave full, you won't feed uncomfortable. If you can't get into Mari, you should check out Kochi or Don Don. When Gui Steakhouse and Hwaro open, I'm sure it won't be long for those to get the recognition they deserve as well

    Wonderful food that was not only filling but also packed full of flavour. There was complexity in beautiful simple ingredients. We were so well looked after by Marie and had a wonderful experience. Would recommend!
