I think this is one of the best new restaurant openings in NYC this year.
@somssi_nyc is the first restaurant from my dear friend Ahris, alongside JP and Ellia Park, and it’s a beautiful reflection of everything they’ve built their careers around. After years creating unforgettable dining experiences, they’ve opened a restaurant that feels deeply personal. The cooking draws inspiration from many places, but never feels tied to any one tradition. Everything is thoughtful, beautifully executed, and most importantly, delicious.
What makes me happiest, though, is seeing Ahris realize a dream that’s been years in the making. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of being welcomed by her, you already know the warmth and hospitality she brings to every room. Now she’s created a place that feels just like that.
Congratulations, Ahris, JP, and Ellia. I couldn’t be happier for you all.
If you’re looking for one new restaurant to check out, put Somssi at the top of your list. Swipe through to see all the deliciousness!
