RUN HERE NOW(ON)!!! This place knocked my heat tech socks off… we ordered the classic mixtape and… let’s just say the playlist was FIRE from start to finish 🙈 the umami flavor was ROBUST, the chopped cheese rice cakes were FAR from chopped, and the burger is undeniably LEGENDARY… Robin, our waitress, had all the best recommendations, which came naturally to her, as she had previously worked in the kitchen! Oh, and DON’T sleep on the mocktails. #dryfebruary !!! 100/10, wish I had a michelin star to give this place. Lili OUT.

Have had this place on my list for at least a few years now but didn’t know that there was also a Bushwick location. It’s definitely leaning in to the nightlife vibe of the area and very much gives clubby, going-out energy, but personally the drinks were a bit too sweet for me and it seems more reliable as a food place. Everything we ordered was very tasty - we got the ricotta toast, japchae, fried chicken, and legendary cheeseburger and all were delicious and flavorful (I do think the japchae noodles could have been cooked slightly longer). Burger was a standout for sure and apparently is on the list of NYC’s best burgers! A great addition to the Korean fusion options in NYC.

The cheeseburger was the best I’ve ever had in the city - still thinking about it and great drinks, great service with great music selection. Perfect place to start a fun night out

Such a fun dining experience! We came on a Sunday night, so it was pretty quiet. Burger was amazing, one of the best burgers we ever had. The chopped cheese rice cakes were delicious and fun. The cucumber kimchi was the perfect refreshing bite and the general lee chicken was tasty. Since the chicken was dark meat, it was a little heavier than expected. Great time and we look forward to returning.

This was my first time dining in a Nowon and I have to say that I walked away fairly impressed by their offerings. As this was my first time, I decided on the tasting menu, and as with all tasting menus some of the items were a hit and others were a miss. I throughly enjoyed their whipped ricotta toast and (not surprisingly) the burger. Overall I wasn’t blown away by the chopped cheese rice cakes or the skewers. Overall, I still had a great time, and I definitely see myself stopping back in for a meal in the future.

This was such an enjoyable Korean American fusion experience!! We were blown away by the depth of flavor. Our fav was the whipped ricotta toast with black sesame. Inside vibes are hip and energetic.

One of our go-to spots in Bushwick. Food is excellent: Legendary burger; Caesar salad; Garlic honey tots; Mushroom noodles; Really cool room too! Only negative we can say is $29 for a Ardberg whisky is just too expensive- and we drank much less bc of the prices.

The “general lee’s” chicken had good flavor. And it wasn’t just breading there was a good amount of meat. The burger was a decent burger
