Inside Mari on Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, the new tasting menu restaurant from chef Sungchul Shim, whose Michelin-starred Kochi is located just a block away.
Tasting menus and omakase can be outrageously expensive, annoyingly precious, and oddly unsatisfying. Like, you need to grab a slice after you're done so you don't go home hungry. And they can take so long! COVID cases may be dropping again, but I'm still not ready to spend over three hours in a dining room filled with strangers.
Dinner at Mari costs $125, which is a lot compared to most places I eat and also a bargain compared to some of its tasting menu or omakase peers around town. You get twelve courses , and each one is exciting, new, and loaded with big flavors. Bonus: from start to finish takes a nice 90 minutes or so, the perfect length for a pleasant night out.
