    I just cannot express my sincere pleasure in viewing your offerings & reviews. Whether the subject is enjoyably positive as you describe your dining experience in Kochi or a brutally accurate account as you did with Bar Pitti, it is always a joy to watch & listen! Thank you for sharing with us all. This is Peter; out!

      If you can find a deal go. There’s so many places to check out and the fish market is absolutely amazing. You can pick out anything you want and they’ll cook it for you right there. And this is gonna sound weird, but don’t get me started on how good kimchi dumplings are.

    So happy for you on a special occasion. Happy Birthday. A great meal for sure. Watching you dine on such fare illustrates a great deal of effort had gone into the preparation of each course. That can sometimes be lost on the diner. Fortunately you savored each course with cautious aplomb and obvious pleasure. Glad you enjoyed the experience. Congrats!

    • @Jamesnu

    James, thanks for doing this visit. Firstly, Happy Birthday to you! Secondly, the food looked excellent, and while I don't know Korean cuisine, your adventure there has me quite interested. Lastly, almost every dish was top notch, but I think your next visit there should explore the supplemental offerings; do report back to us when you do that. Ciao.

    Jungshik in Korea was the best restaurant I've EVER been to. While we were there was so sad... I told the waiter "I can't enjoy this fully because I know very well this will be the best meal I have eaten and will ever eat".
    I'm sure the NYC location is different, but .. yeah amazing.

    Happy Birthday young man. I love your content, production, and offerings. If I may, and as by no means offer this as criticism. I highly suggest you take an etiquette class in NYC. You will get so much out of it both personally and professionally and it will set you apart from everyone else as manners is dying art. Not to mention that women will notice and appreciate it! And lastly from an old man who also does not like his birthday, treat everyday as your birthday. Celebrate everything and live in the present NOW, for that is all that there is. One more offering if I may, this comes from the yoga/old part of me, and that is to train yourself to put down your utensils after each bite and savor your/the food. It is not only a healthier way to eat but will go along way for conversations over dinner. I hope all this is welcomed and helpful for you. I so appreciate your content as I live vicariously through you and being kept up to date with the NYC area food scene which I so miss being on the left coast. In gratitude, I offer and send you best wishes, Peace and Blessings to you young man. namaste

    Happy birthday, James ! I hope your family and friends threw you a party fit for Jay Gatsby! Yes, the Koreans have snuck into the Top Fifty restaurant scene for all the right reasons. Kochi looked a treat. Coming from an old guy who's still in pretty good shape, I hope you fulfill your dreams. You seem the kind of guy who'll look after body and mind, and that , I assure you, will keep you looking and sounding years younger. All the other stuff, like what's happening in the world, is also important and needs to be addressed, but they are issues we have very little control over. All the best, and thanks for the video !

    Happy Birthday! It's mine today! :) Going for vegetarian Chinese in Teaneck. :) Would love to see a review of Cote, the Korean steakhouse. Love your videos. You should do one with a hot date and dress like James Bond. This restaurant meal actually almost seems like a bargain! So nice they crafted you a birthday dessert! If you eat in a kosher restaurant in Teaneck I'll join you for a meal with a date! :)

    Just came across your channel and was so impressed with your videos and your descriptions of the restaurant and food and immediately subscribed! haha. Also coincidentally, when you were doing the recap at Bryant Park, you were a block away from Kochi's other sister restaurant, Don Don, which is a much more casual Korean BBQ restaurant that specializes in dry-aged pork!

    The tasting menu looks and probably tastes amazing, the price was not too bad either. As for the chef's special being hidden. It is not the server's job to inform you. This is not the first time that it has happened to you if I recall. $24 for abalone I would have ordered even after the meal had started.

    • @Jamesnu
