  • Overall, we enjoyed and felt the price was fair ($125 per person, before drinks) but wouldn’t rush to go back.

    It was really good! Not my favorite Michelin star restaurant I've been to but it was a fun tasting menu. We got to eat abalone which is a first for me. Their sourdough tortilla is something magical with that brown butter and the blood pudding taco was amazing. The dessert has a passionfruit marshmallow that was incredible too. Some of the dishes were just okay.

  • replying to u/xunyou198: Something that might be either more out of the ordinary for the Europeans or simply iconic. Maybe Jungsik, Gramercy Tavern and Corima

    I went to Corima two weeks ago for tasting menu with wine pairings and it was the most disappointing dining experience I’ve had in years. Each dish was so muddled and disjointed. It felt like we spent 20 minutes waiting between every course. It was an overall strange service and huge letdown.

  • replying to u/AdministrativeAd3062: I was so underwhelmed by this same menu

    some dishes were too salty but others were under seasoned. The crab didn't taste like crab and the macaron tasted like smoked salmon.

  • I had a great time at Corima. I didn't feel like the food was mind blowingly delicious as much as it was original and interesting and clearly incredibly labor intensive, with a clear point of view. I also liked the staff, beverage pairings and general vibe of the place.

  • the best value tasting menu in town, and a really unique take on northern Mexican cooking.

  • The problem with going à la carte there is that I would just order a dozen sourdough tortillas.

  • Everything was excellent. I think the squash/kampachi was the best. And the service was outstanding. Highly recommended.

  • I was very impressed with the Northern Mexican/Japanese thing they were doing and expect that the price will go up as recognition catches up with them.

  • Cosme and Corima are two Mexican restaurants that feel like the Mexican cuisine that is making Mexico great right now. If you love real Mexican food like you find in the best restaurants in Mexico, give them a try.

  • replying to u/DinerEnBlanc: I'm going to Corima next week; can't wait! The only michelin Mexican I've had before was at Californios in SF & Oxomoco (formerly), and they were both great!

    I asked for seconds on the tortilla + butter haha.

  • replying to u/No_Employ1203: Corima was excellent. Happy to see this on the list. We went just before they got the Michelin award. Cote has been in my list for a while and we finally went this past year. It was underwhelming (I felt it was okay but not sure it deserves all the hype?). Lots of other familiar names on this list that I haven’t been to…which reminds me I need to get out more!

    Corima was the best meal I've had in a very very long time in the city. Their flour tortillas are to die for

  • I have not been to Cosme but I had one of the most lackluster meals of my life at Corima. Many dishes were under seasoned and basically tasteless. Hard pass.

  • Worst tasting menu in the city. I can’t believe they were awarded a Michelin star.

  • I always sit at the counter at 63 Clinton and the food is good, but I'd say very comparable to Corima with nothing crazy, but well executed, good food.

  • Corima is a good new one. Comes in right under $100pp. I haven’t tried the tasting menu, though, just the a la carte—it was quite good.

  • Corima was fantastic and is the best valued tasting in the city. Imo it blew 63 Clinton out of the water bite for bite. Simply way more inventive, personal, and evocative of a place

  • replying to u/vagrantwastrel: If you’re willing to stretch your budget very slightly, something like Corima or 63 Clinton would be a fun and delicious option. Some of the cheaper tasting menus in the city at $110 each, and both with super kind service

    I had the absolute worst service at Corima.

  • Absolutely loved it. The drink pairing was very interesting with drinks including wine, beer and sparkling sake. Staff was really good. Definitely would recommend.

  • Drinks were better than the food. The tasting menu had a few misses, just things that tasted a bit odd. I always wondered how it got its Michelin star.

  • replying to u/Electrosnack: The best new dining experiences I've had in the last two months are: * [Corima](https://corimanyc.com/) (Chinatown), great new modern Mexican place. Splurge for the $95 chefs counter seat. * [Sappe](https://www.sappenyc.com/) (West Village), really loved the grilled pork jowl, the garlicky grilled sour pork sausage, and the grilled marinated beef. * [Sailor](https://www.sailor.nyc/) (Fort Greene), the half roasted chicken was very good. So were the crispy veal sweetbreads. * [Cauldron Chicken](https://www.instagram.com/cauldronchicken/?next=%2Fnihonbara_jgsdf%2Ftagged%2F) (Greenwich Village), a casual spot focused on Chinese dao kou whole and half chicken. So tender that when you pick it up, the bone comes right off. They give you plastic gloves to encourage you to eat it with your hands. It eat with a fork and knife is really not necessary.

    Corima is by far my favorite bang for buck spot right now. Delicious, creative, and doesn't break the bank too much.

    We really did not enjoy Corima. Bad service and mediocre overpriced food.

  • Just under that price range but also great Saint Julivert Nubiani Yingtao Corima

  • I went and it was better than I expected! The dishes were inventive and tasty.
