Nowon's innovative Korean-inspired menu showcases exceptional creativity, featuring unique flavors and combinations that elevate every dish. These innovative offerings can't be found anywhere else.
The Burger: Legendary Cheeseburger (Tier 3). Smashed double, American cheese, kimchi special sauce, roasted kimchi, pickles, onion. The kimchi delivers a bold kick that's balanced and not overwhelming, with spice levels varying bite by bite. Complementing the kimchi's flavor are crisp, thin pickles, rich and creamy American cheese, and two thick, juicy patties nestled between a soft, sturdy bun.
Pro Tip: Pairing your burger with the "Extraordinary Honey Butter Tater Tots" is essential – these crispy, sweet bites are irresistible. Alternatively, they have the Dry-Aged Steak Burger, which swaps the double patty for a single 8oz stack with the same bold toppings.
The Occasion & Vibe: Date Night / Reservations Recommended. Their Bushwick spot is hands down one of the coolest restaurant settings in NYC. Nowon is set to a lively 90s and early 2000s hip-hop soundtrack, delivering a vibrant energy throughout. The Bushwick location is home to a neon-lit, disco-ball-adorned interior, complete with projector screens, a great bar, tons of seating, and an open kitchen. The East Village spot offers a cozier alternative.
The Location: Multiple locations. East Village & Bushwick.
