Absolutely wowed by the tasting menu. Incredible attention to detail in every bite and drink, felt like a work of art. May seem pricey but you will leave feeling very full! Favorite bites were dry aged duck, galbi wagyu, beef tartare, and seullungtang but every dish was a hit. Cocktails are all very creative around a Korean base. Personal favorites for drinks were the paper plane and a clarified hwachae inspired cocktail. Service is super attentive- my glass never went empty the whole meal. Had a great time listening to each dish's story and explanation. Modern cozy vibe with a great sunset view through the large windows behind the bar. Great for birthday or other celebrations! There was a fun Marilyn Monroe exhibition in the basement and a Genesis car showroom below the restaurant; would recommend coming early to check those out before your meal! read more

We visited Genesis House for the "Manifesting Marilyn: The Making of an Icon" had no idea there were exhibits here. As you walk down the stairs to the exhibit there are people to greet you and discuss the exhibit. If you have any question, just ask away. There were several sections you go through. It's a small area to go through. Nice and cool. Area display Marilyn Monroe books she like to read, phones where you pick up and hear her talk. Get to see her favorite attire as well as photo spread in the various newspapers all about Marilyn Monroe. Had no idea that she was more than a Blonde Bombshell, but that of a woman in business and called the shots. Not only taking roles in comedy but changed her image by taking the roles she wanted. This is what I learned from going through exhibit. She even had her own company. There is also a Korean restaurant upstairs as well as space for events. Will be back for a future exhibit. read more

I went for the lunch meal and it was such a great value. High quality korean cooking and the lunch was very fairly priced ($45) for that amount/quality of food. The different flavors of rice cake were very unique and a very nice starter from the à la carte menu. Outdoors under the umbrellas was very nice especially during the summer, although it can get a bit noisy depending on what is going on on the high line. read more

4.5 star elevated Korean in an elegant setting Sitting atop a car dealership, Genesis House is located on the corner of 10 ave and 13 st. The signage is pretty minimal and choosing which way to enter can be confusing. I came through the 10 ave entrance and was greeted by gracious staff and some signage next to glass double doors. We were escorted upstairs via elevator and entered a beautifully modern & tastefully Korean inspired interior. The tea salon's "ceiling" mimics the roof tiles and structure of traditional Korean homes. The H shape of the "tiles" is a nod to Hyundai I assume and the staff attitude appeared to be modernized hanbok. Dining area had similar feel with open shelving emulating a Korean still life painting style called chaekgado roughly translating to books and things. I personally appreciated all the thought put into each detail as a Korean but can imagine it being appreciated by a non-native as well. Needless to say, interior design was on point. Service was very attentive and courteous and explanations were helpful. Depth of introduction to the dishes dwindled towards the end though perhaps due to more junior staff (small nit) at the end but did not ruin the dining experience. We ordered the dinner tasting menu. All courses were top notch with generous portions. My favorites were the amuse bouche, hwe, and soup broth in the bonsik. The broth is I want to put this in my tumbler and carry it around to sip in the morning good (iykyk). We also got some extras since it was a special occasion and man were we full by the end of this. Tldr - Do yourself a favor and make a res here for the tasting menu. Remember to wear the stretchy pants or empire waist dress and buckle in for a food adventure ;P read more

This place totally caught me off guard. I showed up to the address, saw a car dealership, and was genuinely confused (clearly not a car person ). But then you head upstairs to the second floor and--WOW. The space is stunning. Calm, refined, and beautifully designed in a way that immediately makes it feel like an elevated dining experience. The views of the water and Little Island are such a nice touch, and the acoustics are surprisingly great for a space like this--nothing feels loud or chaotic. The staff was incredibly kind and very quick to pick up on when we needed something without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel even more seamless. The food definitely holds its own. I tried the lunch special, which was delicious and a great way to sample a variety of sides without breaking the bank. I also ordered their hot tea cocktail--so good and honestly big enough to share between two people. I already know I want to come back and try their high tea experience. Bonus: the cars downstairs are gorgeous, and you can even test drive them if that's your thing. read more

We recently celebrated a birthday at Genesis House and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The aesthetic is absolutely on point. I can see how the entrance might throw some people off since it's located inside what appears to be a dealership, but considering Genesis is a Korean automotive company, it was exactly what I expected. Honestly, it doesn't even feel like a typical dealership. The space is sleek, sophisticated, and beautifully minimalistic, which I personally loved. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome and escorted to an elevator that took us directly to the host stand. Every staff member we encountered was genuinely friendly and welcoming. Before dinner, we spent some time in the tea room, which was a wonderful experience on its own. We were able to relax, take our time, and enjoy the atmosphere. Even though other guests were dining nearby behind the bookshelves, the space felt surprisingly intimate and private. Our server, Min, was exceptional from the very beginning. They encouraged us to take our time, carefully explained the tea and beverage offerings, walked us through the tasting menu, and made thoughtful recommendations. Their knowledge and passion were evident, and they explained everything in a way that made us feel comfortable and excited rather than intimidated by unfamiliar Korean dishes or cultural references. We opted for the tasting menu, and the pacing was flawless. Nothing felt rushed, yet there was never an awkward wait between courses. One detail that really stood out was the attentiveness of the staff. This may not be something everyone notices, but our water glasses were refilled every time they reached about halfway. We never had to ask for anything. The three staff members who assisted us throughout the evening were incredibly attentive and anticipated our needs before we even realized them ourselves. We were seated by the window just behind the tea room, and it turned out to be the perfect spot. We were having such a wonderful time that the three-plus hours we spent there flew by. This was our first Korean-inspired tasting menu experience, and while there were one or two dishes that weren't necessarily our preferred flavor profiles, every course was beautifully presented and full of vibrant flavors. I genuinely enjoyed the entire menu, especially the duck, which was outstanding. And I'm still not finished raving about this place. The desserts were fantastic. To celebrate the birthday, they served a slice of Basque cheesecake for the birthday, and our server also brought out a dessert cart, making the occasion feel even more special and memorable. It was such a thoughtful touch. I truly can't say enough about how amazing Min was throughout the evening. They were attentive, knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely contributed to making our celebration unforgettable. Thank you to the entire team at Genesis House for making my forever partner's birthday celebration such a memorable experience. We can't wait to return. read more

The Genesis House is noted by Yelp as a Korean restaurant. However they also have a space that they use for special events such as the 2025 immersive experience I had come for - The Forest Within. From their website: The Forest Within was an immersive experience showcasing the infinite power of nature, created in partnership with Gwyneth Paltrow. Guests were invited into the world of a reimagined Korean forest, where personal harmony and the natural world came together in moments of quiet reflection. Through a series of surreal, physical-meets-digital landscapes, visitors were guided by the ethereal spirit of the Korean tiger to explore nature's transformative power. It was beautiful. It was a small space so it doesn't take long to go through, and you could walk through again if you so desired. I made use of their convenient bathroom before heading off and away. read more

Came here for dinner and found a minimalist-take on a gorgeous space, with zen-inspired minimalism complemented with architectural craft and a photo-ready tea room. Genesis House delivered expert hosting and kind service but irredeemable food. I left dumbfounded. Not sure about the tasting menu, but based on our a la carte experience I would not come back... Order: - The veggies were repulsive -- like something you'd get from a burger joint drive through after 3am -- save for the stuffed perilla leaf. (1/5) - I would not be surprised if the seaweed chips were from a shelf-stable bag (2/5) - The cured cod was fairly good, but at this point I think I was mostly looking for anything to cling onto and found some solace here. (3.5/5) - The scotch soju drink was the most redeemable item (4.5/5) The service was a wash of range. The host was great, at the end we got some complementary wine, but the service between was terrible (no menu for a while, had to hail servers for more water, etc...) read more

Visited this spot with my family over Thanksgiving weekend! Some features: - The ground floor has genesis cars on display. - Upper level has the restaurant. - Lower level has an art exhibition. - The restaurant had a lot of natural light coming in which I enjoyed. I thought it would be a small menu but they had a handful of options on the menu. We first ordered tea (GAM-IP CHA, YASAENG SUGUK-IP CHA, and one of the SEJAK teas. I don't remember) which comes in a small teapot and matching cup. All the teas were nicely brewed and came in the perfect temperate. The remove the tea leaves before bringing it to you. We also ordered 구절판 which is a plate with 9 different fillings/toppings with a wheat wrap in the center. You wrap it up and eat it like a spring roll. Kings ate good back in the day haha. We then proceeded to order two desserts: HAECHO & SSAL. It was my first time trying both of these flavors in a dessert format. I was slightly hesitant to try due to sensitive stomach but I had no issues! i also really enjoyed both desserts and they weren't overly sweet as well! All the workers were nice and attentive! I highly suggest this place for someone looking to experience something new! read more

Genesis House - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

What an experience! Talk about the total package - this place has it all. If you aren't familiar with the Genesis House (i.e. me, despite walking past by many times), the lobby is the showroom for Genesis, the basement has the special exhibition throughout the year, and the 2nd floor is the dining room. If you have a dinner reservation here, you can visit the exhibition before or after the meal. Jose, our friendly host, helped us with navigating the planning. The menu features a tasting menu and à la carte. For a restaurant that deserves a Michelin star, it is truly a gem to discover a very reasonably priced tasting menu. Since the four of us aren't particularly hungry, we ordered a bunch from à la carte to share. Our server, Patrick, was great at recommendations - beef tartare (order with the lotus chips), rice cake, pork noodles (daeji guksu), and short rib (tteokgalbi). Not only were the dishes beautifully presented, despite the simplicity of the name, each dish was carefully executed with traditional Korean cooking while adding a modern twist to it. While not typically a fan of short rib, turning it into a meatball was very tasty. The beverage menu was very fun too! We had the k-town soju pear + perilla (tasty and sweet), Hanbang (balanced), and two different kinds of makgeolli (try mixing both into one special kind). The service was outstanding! Our water glass was never empty, the service was attentive but not overwhelming. We had a wonderful 5-year anniversary celebration with our family at Genesis House. We will return for the tasting menu next time! read more

When you take 재벌 culture and import it to New York, it somehow comes across as more new money than anything. Hence, I'm not sure a restaurant above a luxury car dealership will achieve the same vibe on 14th Street that it might have in 압구정. As Emily in Paris would say, c'est un peu ringard. But putting that aside, I was pretty satisfied with the cuisine here. I opted for the 5 course vegetarian tasting menu - my absolute favorite was the house made tomato 쌈장 served with a trumpet mushroom steak - along with some apple kimchi, it was phenomenal paired with rice as the main course. I also absolutely loved the 죽 with lotus seeds - such a comforting dish that yet packed a ton of flavor. Some of the other appetizers were a bit less successful. The steamed zucchini had a beautiful presentation and interesting texture, but the smoky eggplant chutney didn't save it from some level of blandness. The amuse-bouche of lotus and nori chips was also unimpressive. read more

This review is for the immersive exhibit being held in one of the rooms of the Genesis House. The immersive exhibit was inspired by the infinite power of nature in partnership with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Love the ambiance, pretty good service, but definitely very overpriced.. We were seated right away but we were given the wrong drink menu which was a little sad because we took awhile to finally decide on our drinks, only to find out they were not available ): our server was still very friendly and nice! All the food portion was smaller than expected, but the presentation is top-tier. It might be better to come during lunch or for the floor sit-down area for some tea time with friends, rather than for a full meal! It would be pretty for a date night though~ read more

The Forest Within. Narrated by Gweneth Paltrow. Discover the forest within. Enter a Korean forest. Reimagined using digital technology. Going on a serene journey. It sounds so calm. So pleasant. Surreal. Right?? Wrong!! Got to the Genesis House. Asked how long was the wait as the line looked long. Twenty minutes was what we were told. And we were in the building within about 25 minutes. What we weren't told was that there was another line in the building and then another line once we were down the stairs. Almost fifty minutes later, we were finally almost pushed through the short exhibit filled with flowers that needed to be changed almost every day and a small bridge mobbed with people and an immersive video. We were out in under six minutes. Definitely not serene. Definitively not worth the wait. Go to the Whitney, the Little Island or High Line instead! read more

Dinner for two on my birthday. I was intrigued by the concept of the car brand I drive with a restaurant above their showroom. This is no Tesla diner experience. The moment we arrived, there was someone to open the door, someone to take us up to the restaurant and from there to seat us at our table. Service was prompt, friendly and helpful -- I know little about Korean cuisine and found it helpful to ask lots of questions. Each of the dishes were presented exquisitely and the portions were normal, not excessive nor minuscule. The mocktail blew my mind; my wife said it tasted better than her glass of Sancerre, which is high praise indeed! The tea room slash library vibe was novel (to me) and the place feels easy and comfortable, not packed in like sardines. We had a really nice time and would come back again. read more

I've had this place on my list for a while and happened to walk-in on a Friday night with my girl friend, after strolling the highline. We ordered a bottle of makgeolli, a Korean rice wine and some dishes to share. The duck confit bone broth was delicious, with the rice noodles. And the beef dumplings were also so tasty. Service was excellent. We sat at the bar and watched the sunset in the well-designed, calm ambiance of the restaurant. I would definitely return. Added bonus: we checked out the exhibit downstairs which was delightful to the senses. read more

We visited Genesis house again for their newest immersive experience, "The Forest Within," which is narrated by Gwenyth Paltrow. All the trees, flowers, plants, moss are real. It was relaxing and soothing and must have taken so much work to set up. Stay on the bridge for a few moments to see the changes happening in the sky and ground. The line outside was quite long when we arrived but it moved fast so maybe waited 20 mins tops, and 5 mins inside. The experience goes until June 29, 2025, Tues-Sun, 11am-8pm. We looked at the cars on the first floor and were offered to take one out for a test drive, which we sadly declined as that would have been fantastic! read more

First things first; this review covers both The Forest Within Exhibit and the Genesis House Restaurant. Seeking a new restaurant we hadn't visited, we booked online and arrived 10 minutes ahead of reservation to discover we were at a car showroom. We were ushered downstairs to the Forest Within, where a Thoughtfully laid 100 yard (approx) walk through an animated 360 immersive video played images of lush forest and beautiful volcanic activity played, with large elaborate sets made up of bamboo and hundreds of large flowering peonies. An interesting peaceful and calming, appetizer. Our table wasn't ready when we finally made it upstairs but a beautifully curated library separates the bar area from the cafe and restaurant seating areas. Again, calm, unhurried and peaceful. We considered the five course tasting menu, eventually opting for appetizers - delicious and delicate dumplings, crispy but overly salty seaweed. The steamed cod with a mushroom and anchovy broth was outstanding. Light and seasoned to perfection. Wine pour was stingy, less than a quarter of a glass. Service was initially very attentive, six different team members either refilled glasses of water, bussing, order taking, etc., but tailed off throughout the meal. Pricey on reflection but a decent new experience. read more

We had to try out this restaurant out of curiosity! They have a really catchy and gracious name, and I'm a big fan of their cars. I even considered getting an EV GV60, but I'll save that story for another time. We were seated without much of a wait and this was with a last-minute reservation. The service was great and accommodating. This restaurant was above a Genesis car dealership by the Hudson River in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, and its interior and ambience were dimly lit and very elegant. I can imagine coming here on a date or for a night out with friends. Right after you exit the elevator, you were greeted by an impressive bar. However, the portion size was small for the price we were charged, but it was enough to satisfy us. The taste and flavors were good, and we wanted more, but we had drinks before dinner, so didn't order dessert. I would come back just for a drink at the bar and to take in the views of the city skyline and river. Please pray for Korea!! read more

When you are willing to spend the money for the experience... the experience is definitely different and exceptional. The food at Korean fusion is unique. And I love their flora display.

Did not go for food. Boutique experience with their multi-story space with a showroom floor on ground level and a flower exhibit in partnership with Gwenyth Paltrow titled The Forest Within. It's a very neat exhibit using a combination of actual floral growths combined with a digital experience of other floral arrangements appearing throughout. The line for this temporary exhibit is currently quite long so be patient, the actual experience walking through this small exhibit is about less than 5 minutes. The staff here have been doing a great job organizing the lines and keeping a level of premiumness as is fitting to the Genesis brand. read more

My boyfriend and I came to Genesis House for lunch with his dad's childhood friend and her husband. We were very fortunate for them to treat us out to such a luxurious dining experience. Genesis House is located on the second floor of the Genesis showroom. Coincidentally, Genesis was hosting a special museum exhibit (in partnership with Gwyneth Paltrow) the day we arrived for lunch. So we were able to walk through the exhibit before we were seated. Once we got to our table, we received very prompt and friendly service from our waitstaff. Our first waitress had a running joke that our two hosts had basically slept in on the first floor, because they had been at Genesis House the night before with other guests. After a brief introduction to the menu, we all decided to go with the four-course tasting menu. -First course was a sashimi dish that came with a sea brine broth. One of my favorites from this meal! Very umami, and the seafood was very fresh. -Second course was a small seafood porridge. While it sounds a little plain, this was another personal favorite for me. Also very umami. -Third course for me was a duck somyeon dish. On the menu, this dish was described as having duck confit, duck broth, and somyeon. On arrival, I was a little disappointed that I received a heap ton of noodles and just a very small portion of duck. Still very good, but I was expecting a little bit more from this dish. -Last course was dessert! We ordered one of each from the menu, so all of us could share. I most enjoyed the Korean pear sorbet, followed by the brown butter roasted burdock cake. Both dishes were unlike anything I've had before. All in all, I loved the dining experience here. I would come back again in a heartbeat. read more

I did the branzino set and it was great for lunch, it's $45 but the quality is good and enough for a quicker bite. Not heavy highly recco if you are in the area and want an elevated nice space to be in or for meetings. The music is super light too which is nice. After I ate I wanted to go to the lounge spot to sit but they had it closed for some reason which kinda sucked cause that is one of the benefits of it being there so that's why I give 4 stars. read more

I had no idea what to expect when my friend brought me here--turns out, Genesis House is tucked inside a luxury Genesis car dealership, which sounds random until you walk in and realize how thoughtfully it's all designed. It's not just a restaurant or cafe--it's a full experience. Since Genesis is a Korean brand, the whole space reflects Korean culture in a really elegant way. We requested to sit at the tea pavilion, and I highly recommend doing the same. It's peaceful, beautifully designed, and feels like you've stepped into a different world. From the architecture to the curated books and the tea service, everything is intentional and calming. The food was solid, but it's really the ambiance and cultural experience that stood out. It's the kind of place you want to take someone to impress them--not with flash, but with quiet, curated beauty. read more

Interesting place -- it's on top of the car dealership (makes sense per the name). Coming from a heavily Korean town with lots of amazing authentic Korean food... this felt very over priced. There wasn't a lot of experimentation, but the classics weren't done as well as your local hole in the wall establishment. Plating was amazing and everything still tasted good, but for the price, I was expecting some twists and more adventurous ingredients/flavors. However, I will say it is a great place for business dinners or impressing out of towners that are NOT from the nyc/tristate area. read more

Wanted to try this place since last year, and finally pay a visit while they still have their bloomtanica event we're still there. Interior looks like a library, centered with a small space for reading , guess it's unique and trendy in Korea ? They have an outdoor space like their backyard. They have window with the waterfront view! So cute for a casual day with your girl friends. I don't feel it's an exact romantic place for a formal date, but this is very personal, check out the picture and decide your own. Cocktails were all yummy, lighter side, very cute! Perfect for the gram! We came here during lunch time, the sashimi dish was just ok, pretty light on taste, but it's good during a hot day, not satisfied enough when you are hungry. Wagyu dumplings were great! Fried chicken was on point, crispy, sweet Glass noodle was ok, light taste for me but my friend think it's good. Banana milk ice cream was yummy! Good to share! Service was great everyone was nice and explain each item very well to us! read more

Orders 3 dessert and they all have the dry texture that they are about to expire. Cocktails were questionable as well.. read more

I came here for their bloomtanica light exhibit but was told that it ended two weeks ago. I stayed for their luxury calm vibes. It felt similar to equinox. This place is a Korean based hidden gem, containing a car show, cocktail, brunch, cafe, and tea spot. Level floor: Genesis was built in the last decade. It's a South Korea luxury car brand with cars beginning around 90k upwards. It prides itself on being a lifestyle brand as well with its food, tea, and bar session above. Some of the cars contain facial recognition unlocking, massage features, and a built in scent diffuser. Upstairs: they have a Korean food dining fusion, a tea house, and a bar. I came here on a weekday morning, and it was very empty. I was told by employees that this is a hidden study spot and relaxation spot that most people would not expect. I would say it's a speakeasy (simply because it's hidden) mixed with a lifestyle vibe. Restaurant: food is on the pricier side for portions. It was $28 for a kimchi fried rice after tip and taxes. It starts at noon and includes Mandu, Korean fried chicken, rice with pork belly, buckwheat noodles, and japchae. I ordered their kimchi fried rice and it has gorgeous presentation but needs more flavor. The tea bar: they offer tea ranging from $15-45 or so for a pot. There's a tea pavilion spot where you could also order some snacks such as puffed rice and a ginger cookie. The overall embodiment is "being humble but not shabby, gorgeous but not extravagant." read more

Located on the 2nd floor of the Genesis Dealership (take the elevator). The restaurant is really modern and has open floor to ceiling windows where you can overlook the hudson river/ west side manhattan. They have free coat check when you walk in before you are seated. There is a restaurant section on the right and then some tables on the left side where you can just get tea or coffee. It's a high end Korean restaurant. Food is family style so order a bunch of dishes to share. The appetizers are really small and pricey. We got the mushroom crepe and chilled Abalone that came with Diver Scallop, Snow Crab, Octopus, Poached Egg, Pine Nut Sauce. The mushroom crepe was really small like you could prob eat it in one bite. As for the abalone it was $39 and tastes delicious but small portion for the price. We got large plates to share - grilled chicken and cod. There was a rice dish that we shared but it didn't come with many toppings. The grilled chicken is a good portion, I would recommend getting this. Finally, we got a japchae to share, it was very flavorful. Overall the dishes were good but you probably won't be full unless you order a lot. Dishes average $30-40. There is also a tasting menu that was around $185. If you're looking for a luxurious space with large windows to eat modern korean food then this is your spot. At the end when you are grabbing your coat they give you complimentary tea, I think ours was pumpkin. read more
