Korean
A 22-seat counter tucked inside Gui Steakhouse, up an elevator and easy to walk past without knowing. Sungchul Shim runs a multicourse tasting menu where Korean flavors meet French technique, and the two Michelin stars suggest the kitchen takes that fusion seriously. Chefs work at the center of the room in full view, which keeps everyone facing the same direction for once. The white soy custard with Osetra caviar has developed a following of its own.

Shrimp toast sandwich
“The shrimp toast sandwich reveals perfectly cooked abalone nestled at its center, though the white soy custard with Osetra caviar for spooning over top is reason alone for its guest favorite status.”
Michelin Guide -
Brown butter miso soup
“The meal begins with a bowl of luscious brown butter miso soup before wild amberjack crudo with a tableside pour of buttermilk koji sauce.”
