Hi Luis,
Thank you so much for coming in and for the feedback! We totally hear you, being a cozy East Village–size spot, we’re a bit limited on space.
We know the wait can be frustrating, especially when you’re in the middle of enjoying your time with us, and we really appreciate your patience. We’ll keep doing our best to keep things moving and make the experience as smooth as possible.
Hope we get to have you back in soon!
Cheers,
Team Nowon

Really yummy and such a cool atmosphere! It’s dark, intimate, and definitely loud, but I liked that vibe. It would be really nice for a date. The food was great too — my favorites were the sesame Caesar salad, the chopped cheese rice cakes, and the lamb skewers!

Hi Isabella,
We’re so glad you enjoyed the vibe! Dark, intimate, and a little lively is exactly what we’re going for, so it means a lot to hear it landed.
We love your picks too, the Black Sesame Caesar, Chopped Cheese Rice Cakes, and Lamb Skewers are some of our favorites. Hope to have you back again soon, maybe for that next date night!
Cheers,
Team Nowon!

Perfect date night spots. The Chopped Cheese' Rice Cakes and the Dry-Aged Truffle Steak Burger were top tier. Definitely going back for those again.

Don’t let the disco club vibe and bar food menu fool you. It’s so delicious. We ate everything on the menu except two dishes and there was literally no bad dish. Standouts were the black sesame Caesar salad, chopped cheese rice cakes, tater tots, and the burger. I never eat burgers and could not stop eating this one. Super nice service and we will be back!

Hi SMD,
Thank you so much for the kind words! We love that you leaned all the way in and tried (almost) the whole menu!
The black sesame Caesar, chopped cheese rice cakes, and burger are some of our favorites too, so it means a lot to hear they stood out. And we’re so happy to hear the team took good care of you!
Looking forward to having you back soon so you can check off those last two dishes!

The food was so good and service was very quick! Everything came out hot and our waters were also refilled. Walking in on a Saturday afternoon I was not prepared for a club like atmosphere. Music is very loud, and very dark inside, especially in the bathroom. I could barely talk to the person 1 foot in front of me. I’d probably recommend getting the food togo.

Hi E,
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food and that our team kept everything coming out hot and on time. We really appreciate your honest feedback about the atmosphere. our Saturday vibe can definitely be more “lively” than “cozy,” and we hear you on the lighting and music. We’ll take this into consideration as we continue to make the space welcoming for everyone. In the meantime, our takeout is a great way to enjoy the flavors without the dance floor energy, though we promise the food is just as fun! We hope to see you again soon, whether here or at home with takeout in hand.
Cheers,

we had the 6-course tasting menu and everything was great. ricotta toast and burger (we added bacon) were phenomenal. i would have actually loved the ricotta toast at the end bc there was a certain sweetness to it that would have ended the meal perfectly. the rice cakes were somewhat an acquired taste but did taste really good.
only negative was that the restaurant is small and the tables are almost right on top of each other

Hi Olivia,
Thanks so much for five stars! We’re glad you enjoyed our Classic Mixtape, especially the whipped ricotta toast and our Legendary burger with bacon (great call).

One of the most amazing culinary experiences I’ve had in NYC. Great vibe and even more amazing food. The service is fast and the staff is supper nice. Their Mixtape Classic is to die for- best meal for two.

guys whoever is coming from that tik tok let me make it more clear lmao- ITS $50 per person😹 not $50 for 2 people😭
yes it says on their menu… but I swear another customer literally asked this to us too when we got seated cause she was unsure too LMAO. I don’t think it’s clear enough.
and guys… the food is not that good to be $50 per person. tater tots, hamburger, two small skewers, small chicken plate, some rice cakes… L O L.
also they said it was an hour wait… it was 15 minutes. I think they wanna like build hype around this restaurant when in reality there are available seats.

I had only their burger and it was good. Like a smash patty but a little thicker so it had bite but also that Maillard crust. Kimchi was not doing anything for me and tasted like you could get the kimchi from some generic Korean restaurant, nothing special.

Hi Ryan,
Glad you enjoyed the burger and pickeed up on that bite we aim for! We’ll take your feedback on the kimchi to heart and keep working on making it stand out. Hope to see you back soon!
