About Cote
Cote is a Korean steakhouse at 16 West 22nd Street in Flatiron, opened by Korean-born proprietor Simon Kim1,2. It opened in June 2017 and earned its first Michelin star that October, with David Shim as executive chef at the time3. The restaurant describes itself as a meeting of Korean barbecue and the classic American steakhouse1.
Every table has a gold-rimmed charcoal grill set into it, and servers usually cook the meat in front of guests1,2. The beef is USDA Prime, and some of it is aged in a dry-aging room on site that diners can see from the lower floor1,2. Most first visits start with the Butcher's Feast, a set meal of four cuts of beef served with banchan, egg souffle and stews2,3,5. The wine list runs to more than 1,200 labels1.
The room is dark and moody, and Undercote, a cocktail bar run by the same team, sits downstairs1,2. Standard reservations are for up to six guests, with group tables for larger parties1.
What people like
- The Butcher's Feast, a set menu of four cuts grilled at the table with banchan and stews, which reviewers call the meal to order and one of the smoothest set meals in the city.2,4,5
- The silky egg souffle that arrives with the beef.4
- A deep, carefully chosen wine list, which the Michelin Guide notes has some good-value bottles.2,4
- Built-in grills and strong air filtration, so the smoke does not follow diners home on their clothes.4
- A smart, tidy room and steady service that critics say keeps the food and the evening consistent.4,5
