Mari, in Hells Kitchen, far exceeded our expectations. We walked there from our hotel for 10 minutes in perfect weather, and arrived at the most classy restaurant. The fawn and olive-teal interior with golden accents was so warm and inviting. As we wandered in we got to pass the master chefs hard at work, crafting edible beauty. Our servers, Suz and Jiselle, absolutely made the experience perfection. Between the kindness they both exuded and the detailed, lovely descriptions of each dish, we felt they both elevated our visit! This was our two year married anniversary, with twelve years of being together, we had never been to NYC or Michelin star restaurant. Mari certainly made it beyond special. The salmon handroll was the most pure piece of fish I have ever had, and we got the opportunity to try foie gras for the first time! Every dish upped the ante in taste and visual appeal. They even got my husband to admit mushrooms and beets can be DELICIOUS! The last savory noodle dish was so innovative and adorably plated with tiny oils to add spice, and miniature banchan. The lobster kalguksu melted in our mouths like the most quality butter. Finally the desserts were so gorgeous it was hard to eat them! The pear yogurt sorbet looked like glittering snow and tasted like the pears had just been picked that day, so fresh! While the donut holes were big and fluffy, the coffee ice cream was creamy and addictive. They also treated us to an exclusive anniversary passion fruit, white chocolate deconstructed cheesecake.. which was made from my dreams since I am obsessed with passion fruit in anything and white chocolate is my favorite chocolate! Thank you so much Mari for treating us like royalty, and giving us a life-changing meal. We hope one day to dine with you all again!

I had been before (it was fine), but then more recently restaurant canceled last minute due to allergy restrictions without even an apology. I suppose if you ever make a reservation there, just make sure you have a backup!

Did a reservation for the Christmas Eve experience they did advertise. It was my birthday too. They asked me via Open Table app, 3 hours prior the reservation time, what my allergies are; I told them Octupus. The said they needed to cancel because a large portion had it. I said it was ok, I could take my meds and it is not a big issue. Long story short, they did cancel. I went browsing their instagram and see ZERO OCTOPUS. I am amazed how a shameful place gets a Michelin star.

The space was sleek and cozy, chefs counter is a must. Food was unique and absolutely delicious. Nick and Holstin were delightful, pleasant and friendly. Highly recommend this Korean Fusion Michelen Star Experience.

We had an amazing experience at Mari celebrating a birthday. The meal was truly one of the most memorable dining experiences I can remember and I was blown away by each dish. The service was impeccable and they went above and beyond to make the meal special. The atmosphere feels comfortable and not too upscale. If you’re looking for outstanding food and service without being too done-up this is a great spot for you!

Ironically, I stumbled upon this place which is funny now looking back (it totally deserves its reputation). Mari is of course amazing, the experience is wonderful, the food is superb, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I love Korean food, and Mari does a great job of presenting classic Korean flavors in a unique and engaging way. Everything was delicious, and I recommend sitting at the counter, watching the chefs work is a fantastic time. Highlight of the night was basically every hand roll (I can’t pick one, so please don’t make me choose). The lobster main was phenomenal and the portion amount was perfect. Will definitely be back when the menu shifts (it typically does)!

Very creative Korean tasting menu, and a decent amount of food in the 13 courses they serve over a relaxed two hour period. The focus is on hand rolls and a couple of the standouts included the mushrooms and the spicy tuna. I wasn’t as impressed with the atmosphere which felt a bit casual for this type of place. But service was professional and they did a good job explaining all the dishes. Overall, a nice experience though for the price, it’s probably not a place I’d rush to return to.
The best restaurant I have ever been to period. It is a place for people that love to try things, and go along for the ride.
I went here with my fiancé for a big birthday. They treated us like kings, the service was incredibly personal. They were kind, insightful, and just genuinely fun.
The food was fast paced, we both love fish and Asian influenced food. This was the best I’ve ever had in both categories.
Be ready for a tasting menu, come with empty stomachs, and be prepared for a slow walk home after.
From the second we walked in to the second we walked out it was the best dining experience we’ve ever had

Grabbed a late brunch today at Mari which they recently started offering. Amazing price for a really tasty brunch, especially loved the foie-gras mandu, chicken jook with foie gras and ginseng foam. Definitely dropping by again to try the Wagyu brisket

Mari looked really good online so we decided to come here with a friend to celebrate them. We sat at the table seating so it would be easier to chat but we could barely hear each other over the other diners' conversations.
Despite us already entering food allergy information, staff seemed unaware and asked us again. I'm being nitpicky but i think it would have looked better if they were confirming food allergies instead of asking again.
We could hardly hear staff explaining each dish because other people's conversations were so loud. The first two appetizers were delicious and made us look forward to the rest of the dinner which we would find out that we would be disappointed. The hand rolls were fine. They didn't stand out and that's the main point of the restaurant. If you asked me which one was my favorite, I wouldn't be able to tell you because nothing was memorable. The desserts delicious. The pear and yogurt sorbet and coffee and donuts were addicting and honestly were the best part of the meal.
Our friend almost paid the bill but we mentioned that it was his birthday and our server immediately gave him back his card and took ours which was superb! Overall, it's a place to try but definitely feels overpriced for non-memorable food.

Awesome restaurant! First of all, the space is a bit small so you will be sitting right next to other guests and with that you should expect the noise to be quite loud here (that you might not hear what the servers were saying). The service was great for our experience tonight. The foods are of course the main highlight and all of them were impressive. There is no dish in the course that we did not like; even hard to choose which is the best because all are great. The small plates started off our meal nicely from the very first dish which was egg with caviar (and we add truffles on top which was the right decision), then salad and sundae squid. All the “mari” that followed were delicious and have different favors. The restaurant keeps the interval dishes nicely where you don’t feel bored of waiting but leave enough time for the previous taste to linger. My favorite mari is the mushrooms one! The ice cream and desserts that ended the course were also delicious. We order sool for the drink and while it is good, I think I personally probably going to enjoy the pairing with wine more. Anyhow, solid experience and we left the restaurant will full (but not exploded) tummies and empty pocket.
Wheelchair accessibility: I don’t think this place is suitable for wheelchairs. While they might be able to accommodate one, it will be extremely difficult to move around.
Very flavorful. Staff were extremely nice and attentive.
