Nudibranch was outstanding—easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. We started with the mushrooms, chicken sandwich, and cavatelli, then had the Denver steak and monkfish as our mains, with scallion pancakes on the side for three people. Every dish was creative, flavorful, and exceptionally well executed.
The chefs are Momofuku alumni, and you can feel that influence in the bold flavors and inventive combinations. Man, I miss Momofuku—but Nudibranch...read full review

We had some friends in town and had the pleasure of dining in the city.
Our friend chose nudibranch because of all the writeups and we were excited.
The place was cozy and nicely lit. The cocktails are great and the service is very attentive, friendly and informative.
The apps were all great although a few had maybe too much use of the baguettes and could fill you up easily. I didn’t really see much of a fusion but was more geared toward Spanish tapas.

What a gem of a place. The food is creative and delicious, the service is truly delightful. It feels young and fresh and truly innovative. You would think that the mixture between Korean and Spanish cuisines might be unusual, but it absolutely works. The bread with tomatoes and anchovies, the fluke with aguachile, the scallion pancakes and the mushroom dish are dishes I’ve kept coming back for. There is also a rotating style of kimchi depending on the season that is worth...read full review

Nudibranch is a small but busy restaurant in the East Village that serves an interesting mix of Korean and Spanish flavors. The cocktails are well-made and delicious, with the Pandan Punch being highlighted as the best cocktail many have ever had. The menu features a variety of small plates, which are highly recommended, including standouts like duck croquettes, patatas bravas, and mushrooms. The small plates are the strength, with flavors that shine in dishes like frog legs, cavatelli, and fluke with aguachile. The entrees are great, with the duck being excellent, and the cold soba with bottarga is excellent. Although the large dishes may not be as impressive, Nudibranch is a great spot to share small plates with friends and enjoy a unique dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and nicely lit, lively yet calm, making it a lovely setting with great vibes. Service is warm, attentive, friendly, and informative, with staff handling requests gracefully and creating a welcoming and professional environment. Overall, Nudibranch offers a promising menu and an enjoyable dining experience, making it a place worth visiting again.
