Located in the back of Oiji Mi. This restaurant specializes in their beef and I must say this was the best beef I have ever had in my entire life. Every single thing here was a hit! Their meats are so well seasoned and perfectly cooked. They are amazing at dry-aging their meats. I was drooling the entire night. It was incredible. By far the best cuts of meats I have ever consumed. All the food here was delicious and the presentation was beautiful for every dish. There were sooooo many items on their set tasting menu it was actually insane. I couldn't believe how much food we were getting! I was so stuffed at the end. I wanted to eat more but I physically couldn't lol. I didn't think the food here would be THIS GOOD!! Wow. I was so pleasantly shocked as it exceeded my expectations. Not a single miss! We went here for my 25th birthday dinner and I highly recommend! This restaurant is great place to go to for a special occasion or a celebratory dinner. I am obsessed with their open kitchen concept. The vibes inside are impeccable and the staff were all so kind and even let us take a photo at the end inside their kitchen! What a perfect way for end the night.
12 courses Michelin , sister restaurant of Oiji Mi that specializes in dry aged meat. One of the best dining experiences I've had, and hands down the BEST rib eye I've ever had, most tender melts in your mouth, also flavorful piece of meat. I was blown away they use a technique different from the standard dry age process -Korean-inspired dry aging with koji that adds subtle flavors and enhances the texture. Also discovered my fave pairing of caviar, and that is with meat. Using caviar really brings out the subtle taste/texture of the meat, and acts like the perfect salt alternative luxury seasoning. Besides the dry aged rib eye, my other fave item is the abalone | miyeok, black sesame with caviar, PERFECT flavor profile . I'm in love The first four "bites"/ courses were underwhelming, but the star of the show is really the other items
Came here for an early valentines date night! We came for the 8:30pm seating and were out the door by around 10:45pm. The tasting menu is thoughtfully done and we had a great evening. Every group is seated slightly apart so you feel like you're in an intimate setting but still in an exclusive group setting. The little appetizer dish that came with three little starters was a beautiful start to the meal--and I mean this taste wise and visually. The tofu was alright. Hahaha good but not my fave. The steamed egg with crab was excellent and I liked the different take on it! My favorites were probably the meat dishes. The kalbi is tiny but it was incredibly tasty and was fatty enough that more would've been overkill. We also ordered a side of meat (idk what it was) with truffles and that was also soooooooo good. There was another meat dish where one came with uni and the other came w caviar -- excellent. The desserts were visually pleasing! We shared a wine pairing ($245) and I will say we did enjoy each paired wine to the dish and the explanations that came with them. Overall, a lovely experience with good conversations w the servers. The food was yummy but I think it's also hard to not raise an eyebrow as a Korean person who regularly eats moogook, tofu, steamed egg, galbi etc. knowing that homemade food is cheap with large portions but that this meal came out to $1,300 (20% tip included). lol! Given that it is a course menu style, everything is pretty small. Nevertheless, we left feeling full and didn't need to wander around looking for other food afterwards.
Where to go if you want to experience a hanwoo omakase. bōm feels genuine and personal -- Korean flavors that feel familiar, but naturally adapted to New York. Nothing feels forced, concept-y, or like it's trying to prove something Just careful cooking and really good balance. Loved the hansang (set of rice, banchan, & soup) ending!! Only thing is it gets super cold in the dining room so come prepared. tasting menu $275*
This was a definite treat! The beef they served was amazing! I really enjoyed the meal and the wine pairings. I do wish that the add ons to the menu would have been shared on a menu or something with the cost listed. With them just being shared verbally and no prices disclosed I was hesitant to either ask or just sign up for them cost unknown. I know I should have just asked, but it seemed tacky, probably a me problem, but it was the one minus for me during the meal.
Amazing experience in the back of oiji mi. Such a nice intimate space, well lit, service was amazing and food was delicious. It is a bit steep in terms of pricing compared to their restaurant counterpart: oiji mi but the food is almost completely different- elevated. My personal favorite was the pear with caviar (one of the beginning 3 bites) and theyre known for the dry aged meat done 3 diff ways. All 3 were delicious and cooked well. Accompaniments for various dishes were also paired well together which is always a good sign. And when you think youre done eating, that's when they bring out this huge tray of "last bites" before dessert so make sure you save your stomach. All in all, amazing experience that you have to try.
Celebrated my birthday at Bom and loved the experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive--taking time to explain each dish and make us feel truly welcome. Service gets a solid 5/5. The interior is beautifully modern and spacious The meal was overall very enjoyable and satisfying. Most of the dishes were absolutely delicious, with great flavors and thoughtful presentation. However, I would deduct a few points for the chickpea dish and the seafood steamed egg. The chickpeas were a bit too heavy for a starter and could benefit from being paired with something lighter to balance the texture. As for the seafood steamed egg, it lacked the depth of seafood flavor I was expecting and was overwhelmed by the taste of peas. That said, the rest of the meal more than made up for it, and I would definitely return. I hope the restaurant considers making a few small tweaks to the menu--it has so much potential to be even better. Highly recommend for a special night out
Bom is an upscale Korean restaurant located Behind Oiji Mi (: in a chef's counter type setup. The decor gave of modernist vibes and gourmet ingredients, especially meat, seemed the focus of the menu - Wagyu, caviar, and uni with supplement add ons. There were so many staff and chefs it seemed like one per guest but they were so considerate, kind and personable. The sommelier Taylor was exceptionally knowledgeable, charismatic and patient with all guests. I got the exploratory pairing (see menu photo) I thought was well made. The wine list is one of the most extensive I've seen in NYC. Highlights of menu were Wagyu galbi, abalone, king crab, and ending with a more traditional Korean course - hansang charim, sotbap, moo guk, banchan. The Wagyu, ribeye and tenderloin were all extremely well cooked with juicy, tender flavor and fun to pair them side by side with Hokkaido uni and caviar. It did feel a little extreme to be eating so many high end ingredients together but it's pulled off well. I didn't find it a filling meal at all and with the price point I'd say bom leaned more towards utilizing high quality ingredients into dishes, for the price point I would recommend him for special occasions and probably not a place I would return to periodically otherwise.
One of the best meals I've had in my life, with some of the best bites I've also had in my life. The service here is AMAZING, everyone is extremely friendly, and the ambiance is perfect with such large space between every person even though it's counter seating style. Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a Korean fine dining experience. Amazing!
Bom is incredible - one of the best tasting menus I've had yet to say the least. bom is in a special room located by getting into Oiji Mi. From there, you'll be taken into a private back room that looks so modern and sleek with bar seating only. On the bar are a few grills that has all the air sucked out from underneath. Being seated, we were immediately shown what we would be eating that night via a marvelous display including a gigantic crab. It was such a cool presentation. From there, the meal began. Let's break down a few of the great food items from the 13-course menu (with a few extras thrown in): *Tenderloin - soooo good. They cooked this in front of us on the grill and then brought it out by presenting us two different pieces. One piece had the caviar while the other had uni. So juicy and tender with that added bump. I loved the uni. *The bluefin tuna intro was fantastic - coming out in a stacking dolls-like fashion. It was super clever with the presentation and each bite was easy to eat and delicious with some of the most gorgeous presentation of the night. *The mieyok was so cool and clever. The dish tasted like a traditional miyeok yet once you took a few sips, you taste just how well and layered the whole dish is. Abalone and black sesame are mixed in a seamless way with again, just a precise attention to detail with the way each layer is poured. I had a wine but really believe the star of the drink show was a special tea they poured out for us which was so refreshing in a tea glass that was transparent. And the desserts were all so wonderful - especially the banana ice cream which reminded me of banana milk with so many gorgeous details. The night ended with a special small birthday treat for my friend. They even had a happy birthday music box playing which was super adorable. Thank you so much to the staff at bom for treating us so well and being so great at explaining all the dishes. I would love to go back again someday and do it all again!
The whole layout feels a bit like Wangbi? Or is it that Koreans all love having shops within shops The service attitude in the shop is good, the waiters and sommeliers are very stylish, but the dishes are made to order in front of you, which is a bit slow, and I started to feel sleepy halfway through the meal... The overall atmosphere is quite noisy, you need to be very focused to hear the waiters' introductions to the dishes, but it's also quite lively. I initially thought every dish would be beef and was worried I wouldn't be able to finish it, as I'd seen online, but it turned out I was overthinking it... I could finish it all without feeling it was too rich (but I'm a big beef lover myself). I don't think beef goes well with sea urchin and caviar. The caviar might be relatively better, but sea urchin and beef together taste like two separate things. It feels a bit like they're just piling on expensive ingredients for the sake of being expensive (personal feeling). Appetizers have a silken tofu-like texture. Although seafood chawanmushi, it surprisingly had chili in it, giving it the feeling of eating Sichuan mapo tofu The soup is said to be a masterpiece that was simmered for 5 hours, but for some reason, it tasted like seafood instant noodle soup to me The main course is delicious, a mini beef bowl, kind of like eating a high-end Japanese beef sushi. The beef here is extremely springy, and the rice is sushi rice The waiter meant to wrap the rice and side dishes in the seaweed and then mix the gochujang into the rice at the end, but in my opinion, the gochujang just wasn't as fragrant as the Chinese one. What was a pleasant surprise was that the soup was a bit richer than the usual galbitang, and with the most, most tender beef, the beef here gets high praise!! It's really delicious. There are two desserts in total: watermelon slush + banana milk ice cream. I think the slush as a dessert actually fits my impression of Korea well, because the slushes in Ktown are all very delicious This watermelon one is also quite good for cutting through the richness. The banana ice cream tastes exactly like the famous Korean banana milk!! Plus a slightly less sweet version of banana bread cake base, I think this dessert is even better than the slush, and the flavor is a bit like Japanese desserts. Before the bill, they still give you some small snacks. The matcha chocolate is okay, but the others are super, super sweet!! If it's your birthday or an anniversary, the shop will also give you a small cupcake with a candle in it. A suggestion: when you come, if you're wearing a dress, bring a jacket, because the air conditioning in the shop is quite cold, probably because they're grilling meat, so they set the temperature quite low.
If I could give bom a thousand stars, I would. This is hands down the best upscale Korean tasting menu meal my husband and I have had so far and we have probably tried a good handful of them. From the food, to the service to the experience, everything was phenomenal. Given that reservations were fairly easy to procure, Bom is definitely not getting the attention it deserves. I'm not sure why I didn't put two and two together when I booked bom and didn't realize that it's located in the same spot as Oiji Mi-another one of my fave places. Reservation were made through opentable and you must pay when you make the reservations with a no refund policy. We arrived a little early and were the first ones to arrive for the first seating at 5:30pm seating. Waited a little bit and we were brought into this private back room with around 17 seats that faced a kitchen so that everyone can watch the staff in action. The way the staff worked with each other, almost like a dance that has be rehearsed for hours really amazed me at how well they worked together. Everyone knew what they had to do and the staff was always ready to either pour water, take drinks orders, serve the next item or just move around the counter grilling the meat at eat grill while using a gloved finger to test the readiness of the meat showed professionalism at another level. Now on to the food, every single bite worked so well together. As soon as the first apps came out, and I took the first bite, I knew was in for a treat. All the food works so well together. The quality of the meat was top notch. The kalbi melted in your mouth while the aged tenderloin was so tasty. The only item that threw off my tastebuds a little bit that I was looking forward to was the uni that topped the tenderloin. I love uni but it was a little too fishy for my preference. Besides that, I can't even tell you which dish was my favorite because all of them were so delicious. The king crab flown in everyday from Norway with the foam and asparagus made my husband nod his head with approval. The meal ended with a palate cleanser of Jeju tangerine sorbet and chocolate like dessert with banana ice cream. We even got a goody bag with a beautifully box of petite fours and the menu for the night. You can add onto the meal caviar and A5 wagyu for an additional charge which we opted out of. We did order a bottle of Riesling to accompany the meal that the sommelier recommended. The staff was so knowledgeable about every aspect of the meal. If you want to try a Korean tasting menu and you don't know where to go, pick bom. I promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you bom helping us celebrate our 21 year anniversary or for making it so special. Also thank you for being so accommodating of my husband's aversion to dairy.
Tucked inside a hidden room of Ouji Mi, bom is definitely a resto you should be checking out if you like Korean fine dining. First of all, the tasting menu is just beyond words. Second of all, the service is impeccable. I took one of my girlfriends here for her birthday & thank you to the staff of bom for delivering an amazing meal. Worth the money? Ohhhhh, yes! read more
Incredible food, wine, and service. There were five of us for my sister in laws birthday and they had the cutest hand drawn picture of her dog wishing her a happy birthday as we arrived. Really cute. The setting is also really nice, we had the entire corner to ourselves and watched them cook our steaks. It is a little difficult to carry a conversation with everyone given we're at the bar but the best set up possible with the corner. Food was amazing. Every single steak dish was like nothing I've ever tasted. Also enjoyed the several fish dishes. Two dessert dishes, both were great! Almost forgot, they also give bom boms to go along with the menu for the day nicely wrapped up! read more
stopped in on a recent trip to NYC and bom was one of my top meals that week, loved the experience. It's located in a very nice back room of Oiji Mi, counter style seats surrounding a prep area with grills built into the countertops (they slow cooked beef throughout the meal). Service was great, drinks are more focused on wine/wine pairings, but we did sample all 3 of their cocktails which were ok (nothing blew us away and they were pricier than most). The menu was fantastic from beginning to end. Loved the different courses, there were a number of seafood courses before moving onto the meats (diver scallop, king crab, sea bream, sablefish, abalone). For meats - they were all prepared/aged differently and it was fun tasting the differences between them. Every piece was cooked perfectly. Desserts were great as well. Very special experience and I would definitely return on future trips read more
Wow this restaurant might just be my new favorite restaurant in NYC. Tucked away behind Oiji Mi, this restaurant gave the impression of a speakeasy, and the interior is absolutely gorgeous. Every diner has full visibility into the chefs preparing the meals and grilling the meats. The menu starts with the most delicious small bites, my favorite being the bluefin tuna in a seaweed wrap. It is then followed by a series of seafood courses -- my favorites here were the sablefish, which quite literally melted in my mouth, and the gamtae noodle with sea bream. Next came the star of the show, the meats. The meats were so tender and prepared so carefully with delicious supplements, such as the kristal caviar. My favorite meat course definitely had to be the wagyu galbi, which had the perfect cut and melted in my mouth. We ended with a seaweed rice course with seaweed wraps, the most comforting soup, and side dishes and delicious dessert... I loved the yogurt ice cream with calamansi pudding! Bom is definitely a must visit for anyone who loves fine dining. The flavors of each course were so elegant, complex, delicate at the same time, and really highlighted the main elements of each dish. read more

One of the greatest displays of culinary maximalism I have ever tasted. Everything was delicately crafted with fine dining staples that all lead into mind blowing steak courses. The amuse bouche opened with toro and caviar. The toro course had soft, tender, well-marinated tuna enclosed in a crunchy shell of seaweed which made for a contrasting combination of textures. Didn't really taste the foie gras, but the toro still made for a perfect first bite. The baesuk picked up the tactile theme and had apple, tofu, and trout roe balancing textures and flavors within a crisp shell. The richness of the caviar was highlighted by the sweetness of the apple; the softness of the tofu was enriched by the brittle crisp of the shell. Incredible first bites. Continuing with seafood courses, the prawn was a delicate concoction with lots of moving parts meshing well with each other. The course was small, pretty, and presented in an elegant black bowl. The kimchi ssam bundled prawn, wagyu, and octopus together into one course. The wrapped ingredients lent themselves to a one dimensional flavor, but the textures worked together well. The ssam sat in a refreshing juice that was meticulously paired with the savory flavors of the beef and prawn, but the course following it had more complexity. Leading into the next course, the kerang jjim had such layered flavors with a generous amount of king crab resting atop an airy fluffy bed of egg. Closing the seafood courses was the fish, yet the highlight of this bite was the seaweed. Seaweed paired with uni trained the spotlight on the taste of seaweed without overshadowing the uni. The fish was solid, tender, and topped with scallion oil, and the touch of burdock was a great detail. As a whole, the seafood courses built on each other, each one adding flavors from a wide variety of familiar fine dining ingredients. Yet, the meat courses did what the seafood courses did for each other, incorporating familiar flavors to bring a perfectly balanced umami. The meat dishes were where you can see the chef's clear vision and acumen. You're served a wet aged and a dry aged filet mignon side by side. The wet-aged filet is topped with uni that is sweet and fresh, and the dry-aged filet has buttery and flavorful caviar atop a perfect medium rare. The generous amounts of uni, caviar and salt perfectly season each steak, balancing the saltiness inherent in the two seafood pairings. After the filets, galbi with rice made for a soul warming bite. The freshly grated wasabi was refreshing, not spicy and made for the perfect midpoint of the meal. The last meat course was the 21 day dry aged rib eye served with a truffle puree and sweet potato. First thoughts were that there was such a deep flavor in the meat, then the sweet potato drew more attention. The edges of the potato were the consistency of a perfect McDonald's fry with its crunch and texture. Following the meats was a fairly forgettable banchan course that featured wagyu in a light and flavorful clear broth but acted as a needed deescalation from the meat course highlights. Desserts were strawberry sorbet with sour Korean strawberries and a deconstructed apple pie a la mode. The sorbet was a kind of palate cleanser and the dessert was decent overall. Everything in the meal was rich and sublime. Every ingredient felt at home in a fine dining context. Every meat was aged, cooked, and paired with its seafood perfectly. 10/10 would go back. read more
Great elevated experience. One Michelin star places are usually hits or misses and this one was definitely a hit. The meat was very fresh. The Hokkaido uni was so sweet and delicious. The A5 was very good. I'm just not sure it was worth the price. read more

The best Michelin Star experience I've had on the East coast. There were so many amazing wines and I highly recommend the pairing. Although I was definitely tipsy at the end from trying them all. It was a phenomenal time being able to see the dishes made in front of you. Every dish was made perfectly and every bite was delicious. The one dish that was North Korean inspired served towards the end was simple, but impactful. Feel really grateful to have had this experience. read more

@bom_nyc Happy Mother's Day! Second time at Bom. This time less money, but fewer courses. Had the non alcoholic pairing. And, as in the case of Alinea of Chicago (3 stars) and A/O/C of Copenhagen (3stars), I find some of the drinks a bit weird. But Bom is the best of them though it only has one star so far. Still very worth it! (Photos are from the first time.) read more

Bōm is a one star Michelin restaurant, hidden behind its sister restaurant, Oiji Mi, also a one star Resturant. Premium beef was unforgettable, presentation were stunning and the service was excellent. The counter dining experience was one of the best I had in nyc. And wine pairing were unique yet still in my likings. read more

In my humble opinion this place is 2 Michelin Star quality. Hope they get that additional star next year. The dining room is a hidden oasis in the back of Oiji Mi. It's intimate yet spacious and inviting. The magnificent U shape marble counter is paired with comfortable leather stools. Every seat has a great view to where the actions are. The attention to details of the establishment is reflected in everything you can touch taste and see, from beginning to end. Dinner with alcohol and non alcohol pairings were both stellar. The sommelier was full of knowledge and stories of each wine and their maker come flowing like folklores. I can't tell you how many times have I been disappointed by non alcoholic pairings before. The only impressive non alcoholic pairing I've experienced was at Blue Hill and Bōm had outdone it! Of course the food was amazing. Especially the opening courses and the beefs. I was already satiated but at the end they presented a rice and soup course to make sure no one leaves the room hungry. The parting gift was a printed menu of your individual experience plus a beautiful box of bon bons that looked and tasted a lot like they could be from the white chocolate collection from Stick With Me. I love that even the complimentary birthday dessert was not an afterthought throw in situation. The dessert was tasty and not boring. The presentation was even sweeter. (I hope no one posts a photo here for spoiler.) My only complaint?....could someone please move the chair when I needed to get out each time? Just a bit challenging to do for someone of a small frame. read more
Quite the experience. I felt this was much better than Oiji Mi just outside. Beef is the focus and the star, but the supporting cast is just as good. They create plenty of seafood and banchan dishes as well. The interior is wonderful and the service is really attentive. I took my mother for her birthday and she loved it. The standout dish for me was the A4 wagyu - A5 can be a little overwhelming as it's so fatty, they decided to replace it with A4. The way they prepare the meat is by searing the cuts in front of you on the kbbq grill before slicing it separately in the back after the juices have settled. It's a bit of a fusion in western and eastern technique in that respect. Lots of lovely recognizable Korean flavors across all of the dishes (sesame, perilla leaf, chili, etc) A few of the dishes had broth in them that wasn't wasted by either of us. You could tell there was a lot of thought behind the creations here. Just like every Michelin restaurant there were uni, wagyu, caviar, truffle components. I love these ingredients, but I'm also curious to see if chefs can get creative without them. However, I also understand that guests come to expect these. All in all, I'd definitely go back. It's a reasonably priced (post-inflation) meal with some of the best beef I've had in the city that has a great vibe. The team did an amazing job. read more

Bōm is located in the back of Oiji Mi and is a pre-paid dinner reservation of $275 for the tasting counter, with a steep wine pairing of $245 or a non-alcoholic pairing of $95. Compared to my recent experience at Atomix, which is more seafood based, Bōm fell a bit short in my book. Although all the courses were good, it was hard to hear the servers when they explained all the menu items - I can't remember a single dish (although they do give you a printed card of the meal at the end). The main sommelier was also not very personable and did not smile much - for $245 I expected the wines to blow my mind, but after experiencing it I would skip it next time and just order a la carte for much cheaper. The non-alcoholic pairings were also from a bottle and not custom created - the flavors did not pair with all the dishes as well as Atomix's non-alcoholic pairings do. The quality of the meat makes the price you pay for the meal worth it. It was also entertaining having the open kitchen concept and being able to see them grill the meat in front of you. Overall my experience at Bōm was good, but I could have skipped the wine and non-alcoholic pairings. read more

Bōm is the most honest expression of a true Korean fine dining experience. The nuruk dry aged tenderloin is out of this world - there exists a certain nuttiness that comes through and flavors the beef, that is unlike anything I've tasted before and it is seared (pun intended) onto my taste buds. Not only is each course meticulously prepared, the course progression is incredibly well thought out so that every bite you take builds upon the bite just before. It's a Chef's Counter that is quiet and intimate, so the ambiance allows for you to actually focus on enjoying your time with good company as well as focus on the dishes that come out perfectly timed. The service is gracious and non-intrusive. Absolutely incredible and definitely top 3 dining experiences in NYC that I've had. read more

Just... incredible. I'll preface this by saying I never write Yelp reviews for restaurants, but I've been fortunate enough to enjoy a lot of fine dining experiences in my life, and I've been to all of the preeminent Korean gastronomic spots in NYC (Jungsik, Atomix, Jua, etc.) bōm blew all of them out of the water -- a statement I do not say lightly. It's easily the most memorable meal I've had in NYC in a long time. Every course was simply delightful, with flavors and textures that coalesced together in perfect harmony and did a phenomenal job of highlighting the quality of the ingredients. After the first bite of every dish, my friend and I would slowly turn to each other and, in astonishment, remark "That was... so good". Both of us kept having what I'll call "ratatouille moments" throughout the meal -- where something, some flavor in an incredibly complex dish, would inexplicably evoke fond memories of familiar comfort foods. For me, it was the broth that came with the sablefish that made me think of of a ramen my father always made me after figure skating lessons. For my friend, it was the flavors of the diver scallop, which reminded him of this Taiwanese seaweed snack he hadn't had in years. That is a testament to how chef Brian Kim is able to craft sophisticated dishes that aren't esoteric or overly experimental, but somehow remain approachable. It's a delicate balance to strike, and particularly in the $300+ price range I often find that chefs sacrifice the enjoyability of dishes in hopes of reinventing the wheel with flavor combinations that just... don't work. You won't find any of that here at bōm, thankfully. Many courses are creative but never in a way that feels like that's the focus of the meal, or interferes with highlighting the quality ingredients intended to be showcased. Service was wonderful. All of the staff were so warm and easy to engage with and extremely knowledgeable about each of the courses. Wine list is extensive and though we didn't opt for a pairing, our sommelier did a great job of helping us pick out two half bottles to pair with the evening's dishes. Ambiance: elevated without being stuffy. I'm a huge sucker for a chef's counter dining format, and bōm does it very well - counter space is huge, with ample room between sets of diners. I'd also like to call out the great acoustics of the room, which isn't something many realize can make or break a dining experience. The room's acoustics somehow allow for enough ambient white noise to drown out the conversations of other guests, but at the same time you'll have zero problem hearing the person/people you're with. If we're really splitting hairs here, the only criticisms I have are 1) I got a cocktail at Oiji Mi's bar while waiting for the room to be set up, and I ended up feeling rushed because I couldn't put the drink on my bōm check and had to pay before being seated, and 2) I took my friend here to celebrate his new job, which I think they almost forgot about because they didn't bring out the candle+cake until after the last dessert (vs. other diners celebrating a special occasion got it with the last dessert). Neither were huge dealbreakers for me in the face of otherwise phenomenal service; the restaurant is only a month old so some mild kinks are to be expected. I'll end this review by quoting my friend, who said, "I know I've had an incredible meal when it makes me feel so, so thankful I was able to have an experience like that." We both left bōm feeling that way and more. Come here before they gain 2 or 3 Michelin stars and it becomes impossible to get a reservation. But even once that inevitably happens, it'll still be worth the battle to get one. read more

This was my first dinner at bōm, and I am already looking forward to my next dinner at bōm! The cuisine is delicious and creative. The cuisine is beef centric, and it is very well prepared and cooked. Multi course tasting menu, with the perfect amount of food. Hospitality and service are excellent! I enjoy counter-dining, and seating was very comfortable and well-spaced. Bōm currently is a Michelin star restaurant, but it deserves Michelin two stars! read more

Wow. This was an amazing dining experience, especially for a foodie of Korean American roots! High end beef and seafood ingredients, curated into intensely thoughtful works of art with dishes that take you back to the earthy and elemental roots of many traditional Korean dishes. The service was impeccable as well and the chef de cuisine is a rising star! The restaurant space was very welcoming and warm and I loved the circular spacing of the dining area- like a chef's table for all. Love it. 너무좋아요! read more

Decided to take the wallet plunge and try out Brian Kim's newest creation. Having previously dined at Oiji Mi my expectations were high. My boyfriend and I were seated at the corner of the round chefs counter however we were saddened to see there was no grill in front of us. The couple to either side of us had a grill in front of them. I'm not sure why this particular space did not. For the hefty price tag, and being advertised as having private individual grills, this was a little bit of a disappointment. Luckily, throughout dinner, I learned the grills did not play a large part in the dining experience. As for the menu, each dish was complex and creative. Most importantly, you will not leave this dinner hungry. The service was attentive, but not overbearing. The back room was beautifully designed and definitely feels upscale. Overall it was a pleasant experience. However, if you're looking for a proper Korean steakhouse, I would find myself at Cote. read more

BOM, Behind OIJI Mi. Chef's tasting counter by Chef Brian, we all been waiting for! Distant from heavy activities at the bar and dining are of OIJI Mi, this tasting counter in the back with high ceiling with exquisite ambiance became my one of favorite restaurants to dine in in the city after two dinners here! Diligently crafted and executed at its finest formality and taste, each course is an edible art. Mostly delicate bites of seafoods and vegetables to start before getting to the meats grilled right in front of you by chefs, and the way they serve meat course was constantly finest elegant bites. The Korean authenticity was in the ingredients and the philosophy through the course. Exciting wine pairing by their reputed sommeliers with their extensive wile selection is a must! Thanks for fantastic dinner! read more

Just overall a fantastic dining experience. The ambiance, attention to detail, preparation and food quality were superb. Chef Brian Kim brings a unique and classy twist once again to korean cuisine in NYC. Everything was brilliantly prepared and the pacing of the courses were not only perfect, but the presentation of ingredients made it a great experience. Great dry aged wagyu and seafood selections from all over the world. My favorites were the abalone and Kagoshima wagyu. Excellent wine selection and knowledgeable sommelier. Usually I find the desserts at Korean cuisine restaurants pretty underwhelming, but the desserts were flavorful and the craftsmanship shows. The restaurant felt exclusive but cozy as well. Overall, would definitely recommend to anyone celebrating a special occasion and a must-go-to place for any visitors. read more
