Mari is offering a $145 per person seasonal tasting menu (along with a beverage pairing for $110) that explores the many facets of Korean cuisine through small plates and inventive hand rolls.

From the OpenTable editors: The MICHELIN-Starred Kochi team's handroll destination is one of the most thrilling omakases you can experience in the city. Bites of grilled trout, king crab, and duck breast are so good that this Midtown restaurant, too, has its own MICHELIN Star.

    I booked this reservation for 6pm ahead of a 8pm show and it ended up being a very tight window to get to the venue. We put the staff in an uncomfortable spot and didn’t get to finish the full tasting. Through out the experience both our waitress and and the GM were extremely kind and helpful about trying to accommodate us. They were realistic and firm about what was possible and I very much appreciated that. I truly felt bad not being able to finish the last few courses. This was my 3rd time here and I thoroughly enjoy the food which is both a creative and fun experience. If I could give it 6 out of 5 stars I would. I will definitely be trying to come back sooner rather than later.

    Very delicious, very special experience at Mari last night. It was relatively early on a weeknight; the calmer, cosier vibe was perfect for us. It was my son's first tasting menu experience ever, and a perfect entry into this kind of dining. We sat at the chef's counter, and the focus and dedication was a delight to witness through the meal. The staff and chefs were affable, seemingly very easy-going as they went about their careful work. The pacing was excellent - never felt like we were waiting too long before the next creation was placed in front of us. Every course was a banger for me... I was transported by the taste, texture, temperature and the beautiful, functional table arrangement. We each had our favourite courses, naturally, but overall the Korean-inspired menu was right down our alley. We added the chef's special of A5 wagyu, and were glad we did it. I also shared the chef's special mari of geoduck and caviar with my son, and while it was delicious, I don't know if it transcended the other mari on the tasting menu. Definitely recommend this experience, especially for people who love seafood and Korean cuisine.

    An incredible tasting menu with incredible service. The egg and caviar dish was out of this world. I highly recommend the wine pairing as well.

    Composition, flavors and freshness of food was the best. Took 30 minutes from seat time to arrival of first course but after that everything course proceeded efficiently. Cocktails were wonderfully complex. One of the broths was very salty. Will definitely be back (with friends)!

    We had a fantastic experience. The quality and creativity of the dishes was great, loved the fusion elements in the tasting menu. The quality of the cocktails and the wine pairing was of the highest level. The Chef and his staff provided outstanding service. I definitely recommend this dining experience.

    Excellent service from the staff. Foods are a little too much on the salty side but overall positive experience.
