## About COTE Korean Steakhouse

COTE made the Korean barbecue table feel like New York luxury without sanding off the fun. Simon Kim's Flatiron restaurant is loud, polished, and deeply efficient: servers manage the grill, banchan keeps the richness moving, and the wine list is far more ambitious than most steakhouses with tabletop fire. The Michelin star is not for quietness; it is for product, consistency, and a format executed with unusual control. It remains one of the city's best arguments for fine dining with a pulse.

## Menu highlights

- **Butcher's Feast** $74 *Four selected cuts of beef with banchan, stews, egg souffle, and soft serve*
- **Steak Omakase** $225 *Premium beef progression cooked at the table by the service team*
- **Bacon with Gochujang** $32 *A rich, smoky, chile-sweet starter built for sharing*

1. ★★★★☆ 4.0 Editorial sample The cooking is polished without feeling anonymous, especially when the kitchen leans into korean detail instead of luxury for its own sake. It is expensive, but the service rhythm and wine advice made the longer menu feel measured. — Sarah Mitchell · 22 May 2026
2. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample COTE Korean Steakhouse feels completely anchored in Flatiron District, Manhattan: the room, pacing, and butcher's feast all make the meal feel specific rather than imported. The strongest courses had a clear point of view and enough restraint to avoid turning dinner into a demonstration. — Yuki Tanaka · 14 March 2026

For prime dinner seats, book at least four to six weeks ahead; tasting counters and weekend tables usually move fastest.

Not necessarily. The Butcher's Feast is the right first order for most diners; the steak omakase is the splurge version.
