Reviews of Korin

Abigail Morales

They have every style of blade here for knife enthusiasts and chefs. There is also beautiful kitchen ware and dining sets. Everything must be ordered so don't expect to come in and shop for plates the day you need them. My husband bought a knife and treats it like a baby, if you are familiar with this brand you might also run into the owners son which is pretty cool too!

Lucas Turek

One of my favorite shops in all NYC. If you’re crazy about Japanese plates, bowls, ceramics and such, this is definitely the best place to go. Furthermore, the store’s high note is its knifes selection, as well as apparels, such as sharpening stones. All my knives were purchased at Korin and I highly recommend it to everyone who is in need of a professional kitchen knife.

Bekah James

What a fantastic experience. I was shown a variety of knives in the types I needed (a petty and a nakiri). Our sales assistant was knowledgeable and patient. I'm already planning my next trip to add to my collection.

Bill Godshall

This review is a bit late coming, but this place is excellent. I was lucky enough to to be shown knives by Vincent. Vincent is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and over all great guy! I visited Korin to purchase a knife with money that my grandmother left me in her will. Vincent engraved my knife with her name on it, and it is currently my most prized possession. I am truly grateful for Vincent and his help that day. I would strongly encourage anyone to shop for knives here. They have an incredible selection, quality makers, and god tier customer service. Thank you Vincent.

No matter if you’re an enthusiastic home cook or pro chef, you need to visit Korin for your grownup knife purchases. The quality and service of this place is simply unmatched. I’d give it six stars if I could.

Kenneth Karan

Superior knife sharpening. Very friendly and attentive customer service. I don't know about professional cutlery, but these seem to be the most impressive, intimidating, gleaming, most bowel eviscerating selection of knives I've ever seen. If I need my appendix taken out, to hell with NewYork Presbyterian, I'm coming here. Oh and they have a very nice selection of Japanese pottery as well. So if you need a container to put your appendix in when they're done you're all set!

Dane H

Good service with attentive and knowledgeable reps. Wide selection of merchandise, with prices to match. Beautiful Japanese tableware at different price levels. The knife sharpening space adds to the store environment highlighting their professional expertise from generations of Japanese craftsmen.

Marisol Soto

Absolutely wonderful place!!! Yuka (hope I spelled it correctly) was wonderful at helping my son pick his first Japanese chef knife. And Mike... where to begin!!! What a wonderful chef/teacher/knife salesman. Me and my 2 children learned so much from his experience. Thank you so much. We will be there hopefully sooner than later to help my sons knife collection grow.

Marc Jacobs

Korin caters to both the restaurant trade and the home chef. Beautiful Japanese tableware and a great selection of Japanese (often expensive) knives. The knives here are the same quality as those at Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, but more expensive — if you don’t factor in the cost the plane ticket, of course. Staff is friendly and helpful, whether you’re buying one place setting or fifty.

Kumiko Tamura

This is the best Japanese kitchen supply company ... many selection of beautiful plates and many kind of knives they carry. When I buy the knife name service is must have. Very personalize service I get there. All my customer telling how beautiful all the plates we put food on. Makes my customer wants to come back our restaurant. We live in Florida but it is worth to travel to New York and choose beautiful plates and excellent knives.

Maksym Kurganskyy

To say that I'm extremely satisfied with the quality of service provided, isn't strong enough. I came to the store to have my knife sharpened. I was pleasantly surprised by the relatively small price one has to pay for highest quality of work. My knife is as good as new, perhaps even better. The staff was also very welcoming and I will definitely be returning in the future.

Rafael Yau

Great selection of professional chefs knives. Amazing to see staffs so passionate about there job and also knowledgeable on almost all the knives in their store. I do all my knife buying here and don't go no where else. Tip: professional chef and cooks get a discount on all their knives, simple sign up for a free membership. I believe it's a 10% discount.

Kevin O'Reilly

One of the finest professional stores in Manhattan. For all professional and amateur chefs and all cooking enthusiasts a trip to Korin is a must! Superb selection of products and truly knowledgeable staff. Spacious show room and pleasant vibe allows you to think about your purchase. The only issue you will face is which knife to choose!

P S

Dropped off a Shigefusa Kogatana for sharpening after the knife chipped in the kitchen sink. Top-notch sharpening, done reasonably quickly. Item shipped back to me promptly and was packaged well. Korin does not disappoint. Also, Huiqin is very cute.

Alesya Abrumova

The customer service at Korin is 10/10! I was helped by Lillian on the phone and she was really lovely. She was able to get me the correct Japanese translation of a name that I wanted engraved on a set of knives and the whole process was really seamless.

Daniel E

Consumer service in completely outstanding. They are extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help. Not to mention the quality of products which is world class. Absolutely recomended

Ray S

Korin has extremely unique knives, the people there to help you are very knowledgeable about their products and the prices are definitely fair. They also have cute gift sets, plates, unique wine glasses and decorative plates. They also have knife sharpening service, which is done by a professional, so I see chefs coming in and out of this place for that service.

Gene Masson

Vast selection of top quality knives and other appliances, many with a unique touch. Bought a gift for a dear chef friend and ended up purchasing one for myself as well. Has elevated my daily cooking and motivates me to learn more.

Herbert Quan

Great place to sharpen knives or purchase dinnerware. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. The selection is focused on Japanese products. Many of the customers are professional chefs/cooks, which speaks to the quality of the service and products.

Moose Holender

Very attentive staff and great quality knives. Pretty affordable pieces of cookware and dishes. Great atmosphere and the people care about the products.

Sam Talbot

Amazing knife store which is synonymous with Japanese knife sales in NYC. The prices may be a little higher than some places (although they do offer a 10% membership discount for people in the industry), but the service is unparalleled. They also have a professional hand-sharpening service for very reasonable prices.

Ricardo Gamez

I wanted to express my gratitude towards the staff at Korin - the customer service is one of the best I've ever dealt with. They went above and beyond to help us receive our products in Europe. Highly recommended !!

Juan Ponce

love them! super amazing quality Japanese knives and tableware tea pots cups plates mats this place has it all i love that they host special events on premises a few times a year featuring knife makes from japan man this place is amazing must check out there is no other shop like this.

John Nanavati

i love this store. there's so much to look at and the knives are awesome. it's also well worthwhile to check their youTube channel out - they have a great series about how to sharpen knives. this is excellent information to know

Lora Sal

Fabulous knives!! Staff is super knowledgeable and will guide you towards the knife that you prefer. They don't sell according to ticket price, they want you to be happy with your choice. You can try them out, as they place them on a counter for you to hold and see if it feels right. There's also lots of dishware and supplies for your kitchen, there's a sharpening service - you can see their sharpener at work on the ground floor in a Japanese knife sharpening setting. Be sure to ask about their unbreakable glasses! There's a line of glasses (wine, water, whiskey, etc) that are near impossible to break and they demonstrate it by hitting it against the edge of the shelf! Scary but amazing! This store is one of the city's gems!

Mark Swanson

Excellent service and an excellent selection of knives and other products. If you love to cook and want the very best, Korin is the place to shop.

Raoul-Sam Daruwala

Wow! This place is incredible. Wall to wall knives and the best sharpening service in the country. You should read more about Chiharu Sugai and know what you're getting when you have your blades sharpened. Fantastic staff. Some knives are ridiculously good. Way out of my budget, but you start to see the differences in quality and build of the better knives. They have a free sharpening class twice a week as well.

chris caracciolo

The most wonderful knife store in all of New York City ..some of the best knife's can be found here along with a magnificent selection of plate ware. Korin has been serving chefs and restaurants for years. Nothing but a class operation.

Andrew Tumilowicz

The best place to buy Japanese knives in NYC, plus a wide selection of table supplies at super prices as well. Highly recommended.

David Gonzalez

It's like I died and went to heaven! Except for the prices lol but thats another story. Make sure to take advantage of the industry discount membership if you work in hospitality or are in a culinary school. The knife sharpening service is stellar and only $15, $12 something with the discount. And when I say stellar I mean it. They take your western style knives and sharpen different angles depending whether you're left or right handed. And they are razor sharp. Literally! As far as their knives for sale they have an enormous collection of Japanese brands. Both traditional Japanese (sword looking kitchen knives), and western style knives. Nenox is the top of the line for the western style knives topping out at over $1,000. But they do have many more reasonable options including their house brand (still exceptional quality and not cheap ~$300).

Colin Everett

Amazing store with a beautiful selection of knives. Knowledgeable staff brought out a full counter of knives for me to test and hold. Ended up with the sharpest damascus steel santoku I've ever used.

Fred Alluso

Hands down the best place for chefs and experienced cooks to go for Japanese and Western style knives and accessories. The staff is quite attentive and very well trained on the products they offer.

Tracy Grenville

The best place in New York City, and one of best places in the country, to find the best knives for professional culinary use. Also, without a doubt, the best advice on maintaining your knives.

Judy Anderson

Very knowledgeable staff. Discounts for industry folks. The first sharpening is free. My new knife is gorgeous. It's from their house brand and I love it!!!

nelson yip

The best knife you can find here

Serena Facchinetti

I would spend all day looking at the amazing knives this place sells. People here are really knowledgeable. If you work in the hospitality industry you can get a discount by showing a paystub (& maybe registering somewhere).

Paul Goody

I took a wide variety of knives to be sharpened, from handmade Japanese all the way through to mass produced German knives - they all came back perfect, they had even shrunk wrapped the handles to protect them through the process and reshaped an edge for a small knife that had been dropped.

Michael Wang

If you're any bit serious about your cutlery, then Korin is your mecca. This place sells the most legitimate Japanese knives that you can find in the city, let alone the country. Right in the heart of TriBeCa, Korin might be a small store, but it has more than enough to offer. I came here the other day to buy a new santoku knife. Even though I don't really cook, a santoku knife can always come in handy, and worst comes to worst, this knife will make a ballin' clothing tag cutter. Once you step inside, you're greeted with a bunch of Japanese tableware. Head to the back of the store and you'll see all the knives you'll ever need in life. From your $100 base knife, to the $10,000 rare knife, Korin has it all. Even better, they have their knife master, Chiharu Sugai, who will sharpen any knife that you purchase here for free. I ended up settling for a Togiharu santoku knife, which, to my luck, was 15% off. In the end, it cost me just shy of $175, which is not too bad considering all the other things that they have for sale. There's a reason top chefs come here to get their tools. From Top Chef Kristen Kish, to your regular Joe, Korin has something for everyone. The staff here is nice, and more than willing to take time to explain every single detail to you. Just make sure to bring you wallet because things here do not come cheap. But then again, you get what you pay for.

Chi Lee

Great selection of imported knives and ceramic tableware from Japan. Must visit for those seeking quality over quantity

Matthias Gropp

One of those special shops where you can find exactly what you’re looking for, or even something you didn’t even know you wanted. Expert knowledge combined with genuine passion for their products results in some of the best customer service in the world.

Alan Chan

Great service! They lady that helped us really knew what she was talking about. We left with a really nice knife and will definitely come back if we ever need anything else.
