Michelin-starred Korean tasting menu with elevated beef & seafood.
"A hidden jewel tucked inside Oiji Mi, this Michelin-starred cushy 17-seat counter is the setting for a tasting from Brian Kim, who begins with bite-sized seafood selections such as ossetra caviar with Chinese dates and tofu; and king crab with anchovy, and moves on to grilled meats including wagyu with truffles and smoked trout roe." - Melissa McCart
"A tasting-menu restaurant from chef Brian Kim and the Oiji Mi team has one star for its $275 tasting menu." - Eater Staff
"This modern counter tucked behind sister restaurant Oiji Mi showcases contemporary Korean fare with a focus on wagyu beef. The space itself is a stunner with soaring ceilings, sharply dressed servers, and a spacious marble counter that has built-in barbecue grills. These grills quietly work throughout the evening, searing off premium cuts such as tenderloin, short rib, and ribeye that are kept in a dry-aging chamber in full view of the dining room. But know that there is more at play here than just beef. The likes of uni, caviar, truffles, and crab make appearances, and the kitchen has no qualms about stacking such luxury on top of one another. Recent highlights include a croustade of baesuk, jujube, and tofu as well as bone broth with radish." - Michelin Inspector
"bōm, a spacious and modern marble counter tucked behind sister restaurant Oiji Mi, showcases contemporary Korean fare. This team has it down to every last detail, with elegant service and well-executed dishes. Of course, there is premium beef ranging from tenderloin and Wagyu short rib to dry-aged ribeye, but there is so much more than just meat here. The dishes display a tight narration, and the presentations are stunning. Expect flawless ingredients, as in the gamtae cradling sweet bluefin tuna with delicate cubes of Hudson Valley foie gras. Then, one bite of baesuk with Baerii caviar, jujube and tofu delivers a panoply of flavors. Two perfectly steamed slices of abalone resting over Bhutanese red rice is tender, rich and tangy.
