Genesis Restaurant Description

Genesis flagship showroom just opened in Hong Kong plaza where Gap used to be – just around the corner from the flagship Apple Store on Huaihai Lu – and walking up the stairs to the second floor reveals the Genesis experience restaurant. Here, restaurateur Mark Klingspon (The Nest, The Cannery, Rye & Co.) has partnered with owner and chef Tom Ryu Taehyeok (Jeju Izakaya, Professor Lee, Belloco, Botong Sikdang) and Michael Chen (The Cannery, Laiba) to open a contemporary Korean restaurant. Onjium, a Michelin star restaurant from Seoul and New York is also contributing on the menu curation.

Like one would expect from a luxury car experience, the restaurant fits the same mold – sleek modern décor, minimalistic with curved lines and dark detailing, streamlined layout accented by nuanced design elements. Everything has its purpose; nothing is superfluous.
