Genesis Enchants with Its Latest Menu and Exhibition

"I experienced Genesis House's latest exhibition, The Forest Within, a collaboration with Gwyneth Paltrow that reimagines a Korean forest by blending nature and technology through immersive physical-meets-digital design and Jeff Leatham’s signature floral installations. The show extends into dining under executive chef Mincheol Shin, whose spring tasting and “Small + Light” menus are rooted in seasonality and the forest concept: playful, tiger-patterned open dumplings; a visually refined dessert centered on danggui (licorice) to evoke the forest floor’s earthy aroma; seasonal small plates amplified with garlic and aged gochujang; and a modern reinterpretation of hanbang baeksuk—a herbal duck where duck skin is stuffed with yakbap (fragrant sweet rice with jujubes and chestnuts) and served with a rich sauce of chestnuts, ginseng, and jujubes that preserves the dish’s warming, restorative essence in a refined form. The collaboration feels visually stunning and conceptually aligned with the food, and The Forest Within is on view at Genesis through June 29th (genesishouse.com)." - The MICHELIN Guide US Editorial Team

My New York City with Olivia Cheng

"The menu is always changing, but last summer I had the most delicious, savory crusted tofu dish with an incredibly flavorful foam and cooked oats underneath it—it sounds like a strange, unexpected pairing, but it was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten. Both the flavors and the presentation are 10/10, and what takes it beyond flavor and aesthetics is the level of service and hospitality: the staff take the time to explain each flavor and its cultural relevance in a way that brings so much to the meal and really encourages you to consider your food more carefully." - Edward Barsamian

"Housed in a glass and steel structure adjacent to the High Line and across from Little Island park, Genesis House is a cool and modern respite from the surrounding cacophony. The ground floor is a gallery of the brand's luxury cars, while the second floor is a chic dining room boasting grand views and serving enticing Korean fare.A chef's tasting menu supplements the concise a la carte of small and large plates, rice, and noodles. Chamchi doenjang muchim is a cooling yet spiced composition of diced raw tuna dressed with fermented soybean paste; while the gamja dububap dates back centuries and features a bowl of rice cooked with seaweed and potato, accompanied by pine nut tofu, seaweed broth, and seasonal kimchi." - Michelin Inspector

The 10 Best Restaurants In Meatpacking - New York - The Infatuation

"Sure, this neighborhood used to be about cuts of beef, but now it’s about a lifestyle, and that lifestyle involves very luxurious cars. This restaurant is on the second floor of the Genesis car showroom, and serves upscale Korean dishes like flavorful fried black cod with glutinous rice, and an earthy kal ssakdugi with buckwheat knife noodles. You can also do their seven-course tasting menu for $185. It’s a useful spot if you need to walk-in somewhere at the last minute, and want to impress someone with fancy food, and a view of the water." - neha talreja, bryan kim, matt tervooren
