Great food and Serbia. Too Loud. Definitely worth recommending and doing it twice. Love bar.

The tasting menu plus wine pairings were fantastic! My favorite was the egg and caviar, spicy tuna, and mushroom hand roll. We did not sit at the bar, we sat at a table but it was still a great experience. The service was fantastic - they all explained how to best eat each item. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

Exceptional service, but extremely overpriced for the experience. Nothing ‘wowed’ me, but the 1st appetizer (egg and caviar) was probably the best thing.
Hand rolls were tiny, and most were overpowered with sauce.

This restaurant was insane! The egg and caviar dish as well as the spicy tuna were two of the best things I've ever tasted.

We had a great dining experience from food to service at Mari and recommend a visit for people who are interested in a blended experience of traditional and creative takes on Korean cuisine.
From a service perspective, they were super accommodating with our time constraints and didn’t make us feel any type of way about not having as much time as what’s recommended. I don’t remember the bartender’s name, but he was super friendly and personable.
The food was overall amazing, and in my opinion, punched above its weight class for the price point and star status. The bites played a lot with different textures, the layers of flavors were also very well constructed and thought out.
The jjamppong broth was excellent, had a great kick. The banchan wasn’t a standout, but that also wasn’t the main point of the dish.

We sat at the chef's table and enjoyed a unique meal. The tasting menu was mainly Korean-style sushi, an incredible burst of flavor in every bite. Two of us also had the wine pairings, and we were pleased with the selections. We had a main waiter and two other members of the wait staff who assisted in removing plates and informing us of what we were eating and drinking. The service was very attentive without being obtrusive. The place is classy while being laidback. I checked out the room, and it appeared that everyone was enjoying the evening.

Here are honest good and bad review. The good Food is excellent with nice presentation, each dish contain good amount of texture and some with more layer, the nori handroll Korean style is very nice since nori is prepare in crispy form, a bit different from Japanese version. The bad The chef counter basically is a regular kitchen counter, a little different than most chef's counter. You also need to know where to seat not all seating are equal, we got worse seating right at door with cold air flowing onto your back which make dining less enjoyable. The serving team need much improvement less Michelin style, the way food introduction not professional enough, can't understand or heard the ingredients of dish served, or maybe music is too loud so impossible to understand kind of lost in translations. If you like good food Mari will be worse the visit.

“Best meal ever! Each bite is so good it makes you involuntarily close your eyes in bliss. It's like Japanese sushi... but on another level — and that's coming from someone who's been to Japan twice!”
Best Michelin star restaurant I've been to. They've just won their 4th star last week (4 years in a row). The food is truly a work of art and the taste is exceptional. I'd highly recommend and I will come back to New York just to eat here again! The staff, service and food was a 10/10 for me.

This was one of the most inventive and delicious meals we've ever had. We tried to savor every bit that we could. Highly recommend getting the wine pairing as they paired perfectly with each bite!

Fantastic food and great service. Reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food.
Many small bites which gives a good variety of flavours. Interesting to see Korean style hand rolls.

World class service and unforgettable flavor- all in all a must stop for anyone in the area willing to spend the money

Fantastic wine paired tasting menu! Great service, innovative preparations, and portion sizes were spot on! Sitting at the bar was a great way to go so we could watch the action and interact with the chefs. Will be back!
