Cote is a sleek, Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse blending high-end beef with barbecue flair, featuring table-grills and a stellar wine list in a vibrant setting.
"Chef David Shim and Simon Kim’s Michelin-starred hotspot occupies a particular niche in the city’s high-end beef scene: It’s a cross between a classic steakhouse and a Korean barbecue restaurant, decked out with comfy booths and dim lighting. The main event is a collection of four USDA Prime and American wagyu cuts priced at $74 per person, accompanied by banchan and classic sides like egg souffle, scallion salad, and kimchi stew. High rollers can order the $225 steak omakase with premium dry-aged cuts." - Eater Staff
"The Korean steakhouse from owner Simon Kim and chef David Shim retains one star. A la carte caviar and wagyu cuts are also available." - Eater Staff

"Korean-born Simon Kim opened Cote as a joyful celebration of his home country’s love for beef allied with his admiration for the great American steakhouse. Just head downstairs and admire the meats hanging in the aging room." - Kevin Chau
"Verdict: This isn’t just one of the top KBBQ places. It’s one of the top places to eat red meat in the city, and the $74 Butcher’s Feast with banchan, tofu stew, four cuts of beef, and soft serve is one of our all-time favorite prix-fixe meals." - bryan kim
