The interior here shows planning and care. You can see quality in the decorative details. This place offers tasty options and superior staff. Furthermore, the team never fails to be friendly. I'm scheduling another visit next week!

Excellent evening out - sat at the chefs’ counter and enjoyed the tasting menu. The menu featured a variety of Korean - French fusion with ingredients also sourced from Japan. Everything was seasonal and scrumptious. High end cuisine through and through.
Decor could be slightly dressed up but will return. Food quality worth a return trip.
Cocktail program was exceptional. Their mushroom martini was truly spectacular. Bravo.

I wasted time by not coming sooner. Staff members demonstrate warmth instead of coldness. Their dishes reveal their standards without explanation. The bill stays reasonable while the plates satisfy. We're making this a regular spot.

Kochi offers exceptional food and outstanding service. The dishes are thoughtfully curated, blending traditional Korean flavors with contemporary techniques, and the ingredients are fresh and flavorful.
In addition, the team was attentive to feedback—for example, adjusting seasoning after I mentioned a dish soup was slightly salty—and even surprised me with an additional dessert to celebrate my work milestone. A truly memorable dining experience! Highly recommend!

Kochi delivers a refined yet soulful Korean tasting menu that’s both inventive and deeply comforting. The skewer-based courses are beautifully paced, with standouts like the abalone and perilla-wrapped bites.
Service is warm, the vibe is intimate without being stuffy, and each dish feels intentional and memorable. Definitely a place to visit with friends or special occasions.

I dined at Kochi today with my husband and sister, and unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations—especially for a Michelin-starred restaurant. The atmosphere was underwhelming and felt very average, not what you’d anticipate for a $200-per-person meal.
The food itself tasted decent, though it was noticeably salty. But the bigger issue: both my sister and I became extremely sick shortly after the meal. My sister had diarrhea before even leaving the restaurant, and I followed 20 minutes later. This is completely unacceptable, especially at this price point.
I’ve dined at many omakase and tasting-menu restaurants across NYC, even ones at much lower price points, and I’ve never experienced any stomach issues before. This was a first—and not in a good way.
Safe to say, we won’t be returning and cannot recommend Kochi based on our experience.

This is our first Michelin experience and it totally disappointed us. We each paid $217 for the 8–course meal and we all got diarrhea after dinner. Food is mediocre at best (at least 2 out of 6 savory dishes were salty) and tables were so close to each other that I could clearly hear the conversation of the people who sat at the table next to us. I don’t think the experience and the food here worth the money we paid for. On top of that, we all suffered from the diarrhea. The only good thing is the service we received from the servers, but it doesn’t compensate for the bad quality of the food we had here.
Please don’t come to this restaurant. There are many better restaurants in NYC. This restaurant is overhyped by the Michelin title and you will more likely be disappointed like us if you dine here.
