Astonishing experience here! The courses were designed so perfectly. Starting with the corn soup, I was astonished by the how much flavor was in this soup, it was a great balance of sweet and savory and was just a really great first course. Every other dish was also incredible, but some stand outs were the wagyu of course, halibut, and the desserts. The wagyu was cooked perfectly and melted right into your mouth and sat on top of the most delicious risotto I've ever had. The halibut was also so well done. Surprisingly, the broth it came with was the star of the dish, extremely tasty and full flavor, contrasting the tender, mild flavor of the halibut. Lastly, THE DESSERTS. They started with the calamansi sorbet which was so refreshing! It had pieces of citrus fruit in it as well and was a perfect palate cleanse. Then, they finished with an apple earl grey popsicle, which was such a fun and creative dessert. Two flavors that you wouldn't think to pair, paired so perfectly together. They also had a surprise birthday dish for me, which was so kind of them and also absolutely amazing! I wish it was on the main menu for everyone to try. It was some kind of passionfruit dessert and it was probably my favorite out of all the desserts. Of course, there were some nit picky things about some of the courses that I didn't enjoy, but overall the flavors were incredible and the presentation was well thought out. The service here was also very detailed. My partner informed our waitress that he has a grapefruit allergy before we were served any food and she said that they would sub it out in the first dessert. As the dessert was served, a different waitress accidentally served us the wrong one, but the Maître D'hôtel was there to correct her before she put down the plates, which to me was very impressive because he wasn't even the one who we informed about the allergy. The restaurant itself is very intimate, and did not have that many tables, but I actually enjoyed the setting a lot. It didn't feel too crowded, but it was lively because everyone was close together but not too loud. This restaurant inspired me to keep trying more fine dining restaurants.

Brunch review! Tried a few bites: - hash brown $7 delicious - steak and omelette $34 didn't upgrade to wagyu though but still excellent - Kim chi meal Unique fusion and spin on breakfast foods. Especially liked the steak!

Absolutely an incredible meal here -- everything was perfect, every dish beautiful, flawless really. It's hard to pick a favorite of the courses -- perhaps the wagyu. Perhaps the second dessert. But really there were only high points and higher points. Each successive dish contrasted neatly from the one before -- palate cleansers were sharp. (No need, I felt, to do any of the add-ons. The American wagyu, for example, was perfect. I'm sure the Japanese wagyu would be amazing, but I didn't see the need to pay an addition $60 for it. Slight regret, on the other hand, of not adding the urchin to the bibimbap.) If there was anything I'd knock, it would be the service -- but only slightly. Food was prompt and service was friendly, but a little awkward with the placement of dishes in front of us (some coming in from the right, some from the left). It's not a big deal at all -- or not for me. I didn't dock any stars for it. I've also eaten at their sister restaurant Mari, which my husband and I also loved. I'd be hard pressed to choose between the two. Feel very lucky to have two amazing restaurants like this in the neighborhood.

Not sure why I'm writing this review as I'm not giving myself a favor. And it will give me no chance to get a table, but I can't not to say, I would call Kochi, Heaven on earth. It's a tinny very well designed place. Amount of flavors and textures in every bite of each dish is a culinary trip to exotic destination , Hands down is in my top : places to go too. And our David insured that out experience was beyond expectation

Food was so delicious and creative. It was a 9 course tasting menu and we added on the abalone. Then they also gave us an additional dessert to celebrate our anniversary. The abalone, bibimbap, and earl grey dessert were our favorite menu items but they were honestly all delicious. We were very full at the end as well so portions were good. Service was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is small and intimate. There is covered outdoor seating as well. We did think the plates were kind of small for some of the dishes so it made it somewhat challenging to eat at times. But overall great experience and would recommend!

Very cute high end restaurant. Food was delicious and not over filling, it was perfect. The servers were also really nice and quick with serving the courses. We got the abalone addition and the sea urchin, and both were delicious and very worth it. We also got 2 cocktails, a Korean peach one and N12 (whiskey) both of which were good (assuming you like whiskey).

Wow, I was speechless after this meal (because I was so full and happy I basically rolled out of there). I love Korean food but never thought it could be elevated to this level. The dishes came out at such a good pace and each dish played into the next so well. The servers are amazing and we got extra black truffle :) always a plus. The restaurant was nice and intimate and the open kitchen was beautiful. What an amazing experience this was!

Food was a 10 out of 10! Came on a Saturday evening with some friends, 4 people in total and we had the pre-fix menu. The whole evening from start to finish was great; every single dish was meticulously crafted- look so beautiful in the plate. The waiters were attentive but since we were a group of four enjoying the night going through different drinks on the menu they weren't coming around too often, they gave us space. The menu is very creative from the little entrees to the dessert! The only bad comment I have about this magnificent place was that that the music was a little louder than I'd like it for a place like this. However, there were many big groups doing the pre-fix menu that evening and it wasn't a spoiler, more of an observation- maybe some music that would go with the place? Not the 100 pop hits of the 2000's. I will def go back again and dine here...
