For fans of Korean cuisine who are used to dining in the dingy, fluorescent-lit holes that dot Koreatown, Swish is a revelation. The open, brick-walled room is warm and well designed, the crowd is well dressed and the dishes are elevated Korean standards. A kimcheed apple salad is an innovative reinvention of the usual cabbage banchan: fermented hunks of green apples mixed with onions, bits of blue cheese and mixed greens. It’s sweet, tart, a little bit salty and remarkably well balanced. The soon dubu stew, with slices of soft, fresh tofu, is a richly flavoured dish. Packed with shrimp, scallops, mussels and calamari and topped with a quail’s egg, it’s the kind of heavy, satisfying meal that brings to mind crisp autumn days, chunky sweaters and afternoon naps. Non-alcoholic cocktails, like the pomegranate punch or the honey-mint iced tea, are refreshing alternatives to soju-based tipples (which are also available). Mains $16–$30.
