About Kori: "East meets West, satisfying a yen for both. These days, most of the Korean restaurants in New York are intended primarily for Korean immigrants and travelers, like the places in Koreatown, or for the fashion-conscious young Americans and second-generation Korean club kids, like many of the new downtown places. Kori fits neither model. It seems a wholly personal expression of its owner and chef, Kori Kim: up-to-date and appealing to Americans but tied to Korean traditions." --The New York Times
