Mori: Modern Omakase, Refined Indulgence

New York City's scene welcomes Mori, a contemporary omakase destination led by the culinary expertise of seasoned chefs Solomon Halim and Andre Wijaya. 

Renowned for their work at Catch and Shuko respectively, the acclaimed chefs bring their mastery to an intimate new space in Soho. There, they curate a 16-course menu through unexpected flavors and textures, featuring the freshest seasonal ingredients flown in from Japan. 

Mori's contemporary tasting bridges tradition with modern flair. Each course is a textural and visual surprise, featuring everything from delicate foams to artfully plated delights. The menu is divided into three parts – appetizers, nigiri, and hand rolls – with the finest ingredients such as uni, caviar, toro, and wagyu. Savor a masterful balance of flavors such as eel hand rolls with cool avocado counterpoint and smoky Hamachi with truffle emulsion or oysters crowned with vibrant blood orange foam – a feast for both the eyes and the palate. House-pickled ginger brings fresh zest to the taste buds, while a curated beverage pairing program featuring sake, wine, and beer is coming soon to perfectly complement the experience. 

Mori's commitment to detail extends beyond the plate. Just as the chefs curate each course, every aspect of the dining experience receives thoughtful consideration as well. The dark and intimate setting elevates guests to an upscale experience. From the eucalyptus-infused Osh Ibori towels to the curated music, the ambiance intentionally engages all five senses. Handcrafted ramekins and beautiful plating elevate each exquisite course for a guest-centric experience, all while the music weaves and hums its own magic.  

Mori is a love letter to culinary artistry, with every bite celebrating Chef Halim's 26 years of passion. Understanding the limitations of larger restaurants, this intimate space allows the chef to curate a beautiful and flavorful expression of his vision. With every bite, you will discover a new flavor profile, texture, and reason to fall in love with the art of omakase.  

With a price point of $125 for sixteen courses, Mori's provides an accessible taste of luxury. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply seeking a memorable evening, Mori offers a unique blend of style, flavor, and hospitality.
