What itzelenaho likes about Kochi:
Join me and experience modern Korean cuisine with Kochi by renowned Chef Sungchul Shim. This Michelin-starred restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen offers an amazing nine-course tasting menu with the finest ingredients.

If you’re interested in spending money on the most basic fo... View all feedback.

Kochi offers a mix of Korean and French cuisine, with some finding the fusion successful while others feeling it misses the mark on traditional Korean flavors. Service receives mixed reviews, with some diners feeling rushed while others praise the attentiveness. The atmosphere is cozy but not ideal for larger groups. The food quality ranges from underwhelming to exceptional, with some feeling it's worth the high price tag while others are disappointed. Overall, Kochi offers a unique dining experience that might be hit or miss depending on individual taste preferences and expectations. It is recommended for those looking for a special dining experience.
