One Star: High quality cooking
In the beating heart of Koreatown, take a freight elevator up 16 stories to find this elegantly appointed retreat. Echoing a traditional Korean home, guests are welcomed with savory crackers and drinks before being escorted to the dining room, where a minimalist design is juxtaposed with views of the Manhattan skyline. Chef Shin Chang-ho offers a Korean tasting menu that feels both traditional and contemporary and exudes calm, collected refinement. A deconstructed pheasant mandu with foie gras and morels is a remarkable feat while shrimp with perilla oil is a masterclass in confident, discreet cooking. Desserts and confections are beautiful to behold and equally delicious to finish. A cup of warm sunchoke tea brings the evening to a close.
