Nowon Bushwick

“This place was a vibe. Was introduced to it because the head chef came to a work event and served the whipped yuzu ricotta toast and I had to come try the food in person. Had the legendary burger. So good. The sauce was top tier and the bread was soft and didn’t fall apart. We also got the chopped cheese rice cakes and I was obsessed after the first bite. We also had the tots and they complimented everything well. Can’t wait to come back”

“I Did the tasting menu at Nowon Bushwick and it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious the salad was great, the cucumber kimchi was surprisingly amazing, and the burger? Perfect. Easily the highlight of the meal. The tasting menu is worth it, but next time I’m going straight for the legendary burger. It’s on another level.”

“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.”

“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.”

“This restaurant is unassuming from the outside and the only thing on a quiet block. It was busy inside with a lively atmosphere and friendly staff. We got the lettuce wrap, cheeseburger and tater tots. The lettuce wrap was a small serving and not worth the price. The lettuce was the stiff white pieces (not green and thin) so didn’t bend to wrap around the meat so it was messy. The lettuce was old too as you can see from the pic. The cheeseburger was a double patty so it was filling but we didn’t taste the gochujiang and kimchi wasn’t strong. It was nice that they served it cut in half since they knew we were sharing. The tater tops were crispy and yummy but it was oily and sweet from honey so you can’t eat too much of it and we didn’t finish. Overall, the flavors didn’t seem very Korean.”
