Very nice interior with acceptable service. Food is tasty but the portions are so tiny. Even after 11 courses you leave hungry. Major disappointment and the reason why this establishment doesn't get booked days in advance is their reservation system. No one likes to prepay with taxes and tips included with no refund. Also, automatically charging 20 percent tip on all drinks isn't fair. One could order $2000 wine and pay $400 tip or order $100 wine and pay $20 tip. It's a same service. Let the customers decide how much to tip. I won't go back.

I've had the privilege to dine in many amazing restaurants around the globe and even privately in the kitchen of some famous chefs. I can say with absolute authority that this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Absolutely amazing from first bite to last! Make sure to opt-in for the savory beignet as well. It was superlative. I'll be envious of anyone getting to dine here until I have a chance to come back again!

Fascinating entrance, parlour style with entrance password shared on the reservation day. Small end elegant inside. The menu and the food was excellent although we were not impressed with the BBQ squad (a little creepy). Very expensive and overall good Service although we mentioned in the reservation it was our first anniversary and there was not mention nor any congratulatory note nor special attention from the staff.

Wow! Just wow! The whole experience was just amazing! Food was excellent! A few nights earlier we have just visited the eleven madison, and we all agreed that the food and service at Noksu had at least the same level. I am excited to see how many stars the chef will recieve.

Really unique experience, located inside the subway station. It took a little while for them to open the gate, but once inside it was truly a gorgeous space. Just be aware it is very cold so being a jacket or shawl if you run cold.
Every course was delicious and service was great. However, at this level and price range, I would've also expected a menu or a take home gift.
Overall great experience, I can see a star in their future.

Nōksu is a unique fine-dining experience located inside a subway station in New York City. The restaurant offers an exclusive and intimate dining environment with only 12 counter seats, providing a close-up view of the kitchen. The design, inspired by Korean ink-and-wash paintings, creates a sleek and serene atmosphere, contrasting the bustling subway location.
Noksu's tasting menu highlights the flavors of Korean cuisine with a modern twist, featuring seafood and meat, and showcases the chef's creativity in blending influences from Korea and around the world. The meal promises a menu that is carefully crafted and evolving to reflect the changing seasons and traditional Korean techniques.
Nōksu has quickly become a hidden gem in NYC’s culinary scene, praised for both its innovative menu and its unconventional setting. It's a must-visit for adventurous foodies looking for something truly different in the heart of the city

I have been to 11 Madison twice and this was much better. I couldn't more highly recommend this. Everyone we spoke to was amazing, the food was special and the people even better. Getting to watch them cook and engage with Jin and Jing was wonderful. They made the experience. The food was delicious and well balanced and we had the matching wines.
Yes expensive but I felt worth it.

The speakeasy entrance is a very nice touch. It was such a unique experience, entering a completely different world from the grimy subway tunnel just outside.
The service was excellent as was the food. Most dishes were pretty unique and interesting while being delicious.
Crazy experience with Vivek. The surf clam dish was one of the best of all time - clam, custard, caviar. The entrance is very cool, the service was spectacular and not stuffy. Wine recs spot on. The beignet with Parmesan truffle and uni was worth it!

Tremendous meal, i'm sure Noksu will be getting a michelin star soon. All dishes were visually appealing and tasty. I didn't care much for the squab, but all other dishes couldn't have been better.

The food was fine, nothing memorable for a tasting experience. My party was seated close to the door, and towards the second half of the meal, the main door was propped open we smelled the subway fumes from our seats. Unpleasant.
