A globally recognized Korean tasting counter — one of the most ambitious dining experiences in New York.
Why It Belongs on the List
The #1 restaurant in North America's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 and #12 in the World's 50 Best — Junghyun and Ellia Park's two-Michelin-star Korean tasting counter in NoMad is the most decorated restaurant in New York right now. Each course of the 10-course chef's counter menu arrives with a notepaper card placing the dish in its cultural and historical context. The cooking draws on traditional Korean techniques and ingredients applied with exceptional precision. At $385 per person for the chef's counter, it is one of the ambitious and externally validated meals in the city.
