10/10 service, loved the bartender he was super friendly and loved his vibes. Food was 10/10 as well!! I highly recommend this place!!

I had the legendary burger and cucumber kimchi twice and each time I enjoyed it... love it ...

The food at Nowon is delicious! It was busy on a Thursday night, but luckily we were able to walk and get a table with ease. I ordered the bibimbap, a Leech & Chong mocktail, and the fried chicken as an appetizer. This was such a comfort meal especially after a busy week at work. The dishes were flavorful. The mocktail was good, although it was a little too sweet for my personal taste I also really enjoy the atmosphere here. Every time I've come, the staff has been friendly and welcoming. My favorite part is the '90s and early 2000s music videos projected onto the wall by the kitchen. It gives the restaurant such a fun, nostalgic vibe that makes the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I always enjoy coming back to! read more

Full disclosure: I'm usually the person side-eyeing "Asian fusion" on a menu. The genre has earned its skepticism (too often it's food sanded down into something more marketable, less itself). So when I say Nowon won me over, I mean it as a real compliment. The ambiance itself is intimate, fun, colorful. An experience. First visit, we went with the Classic Mixtape, which is essentially a prix fixe served family style at $49/person. Smart move for a first time in theory; you cover a lot of ground fast. Here's what that ground looked like: chilled cucumber kimchi, whipped yuzu ricotta toast, wok-charred lamb lettuce wraps, General Lee's Fried Chicken, the Legendary Cheeseburger, and truffle parm tots. Honest review of the Mixtape: uneven, but the highs are high enough to forgive it. The cucumber kimchi and ricotta toast didn't move me. The tots were fine...just tots. But the lamb lettuce wraps had real flavor and restraint, the fried chicken delivered exactly what its name promises (it's general tso's chicken so it can't really be bad), and the Legendary Cheeseburger is, in fact, kind of legendary. Worth noting that "half a burger per person" sounds stingy on paper and somehow still satisfies. My regret? Glancing at the tables around me mid-meal and watching Japchae and Spicy Buldak Chicken go by. Both looked like the right call. Next time I'm skipping the Mixtape and building my own plate around those two plus the fried chicken and burger. Sometimes the prix fixe teaches you exactly what to order à la carte. Nowon is the rare fusion spot that feels like it's adding something rather than diluting it. Come hungry, look at what your neighbors ordered, and adjust accordingly. read more

I love how this place looks and feels, esp at night, but wow, it gets really busy. We were able to get seated outdoors pretty quick, but I will say the service... isn't great. We were forgotten once the food came out, so we had to go inside and wait until we can ask someone for the check. The food was good enough for me to return, and I really will need to try the mixtape next time. It's hard to go for a course tasting menu when there are dietary restrictions amongst a group of 5, but it should be easier with 2 people. I say this only because I really wanted to try the chopped cheese rice cakes but was not able to this visit. That's fine though because the garlic honey butter tots were really good! The legendary burger was good as well, but not the best smash burger I've had. The highlight is definitely the sauce. read more

My husband and I literally cannot stop talking about this place and we went just yesterday! Nowon Seaport is SO worth the hype. The kimchi burger was a DREAM. I've never had kimchi before and wow, I was not expecting it to be THAT good. We got the deal that came with buttery tots, kimchi cucumbers and the burger, which they cut in half for us. We also got the General Chow chicken and listen, I'm usually not a fan of chicken thighs but WOW. The flavor and crispiness were out of this world. We also got a lychee drink that was so good! Everything hit, and I'm already thinking about going back. Definitely one of the best meals I've had in a while. Just wow! You can tell that at night it turns into the most beautiful space because in the day it's already beautiful! Music was so good I just loved it truly. Servers were sweet food was so fresh I cannot!!!!!!!! read more

Korean-American fusion done right! It's easy to embrace Nowon -- it offers great food, a fun vibe and an airy spaciousness that's hard to come by in Boston's trendy Seaport district. My go-to menu item is Jae's Chicken Bun, a double-fried chicken thigh slathered with just the right amount of gochujang, then topped with a tasty slaw, peanuts and parm. Every bite of this generously sized sando is a satisfying combo of juicy goodness and crispy-crunch. Garlic honey butter tater tots and Kimchi cukes make for a dynamic duo of equally satisfying sides. The dressing on the black sesame Caesar salad deserves a round of applause too. Plenty of other menu options (rice cakes, noodles, bibimpap, shrimp tacos) to check out but I'm sticking with these faves for a while! My dining companion is committed to Nowon's Legendary Burger. read more

Was seated promptly when I arrived for my reservation. The service was great all night. Waitress regularly checked in throughout our meal and ensured everything was okay. I got the Korean Born Star mocktail which was scrum (sweet and fruity). My friend got a white wine which she enjoyed. We shared the lamb lettuce wraps as a starter. They were okay but nothing to rave about. I got the legendary burger with an egg on the side. The burger was great. I was nervous I'd regret not trying something more exciting but it was truly a magnificent burger. I had the egg on the side so I could taste the burger on it's own (which was already amazing) then I added the egg in and it was even better. My friend got the kimchi fried rice which she enjoyed. Portion sizes were good value and overall thought price was fair. Definitely going back to try the Mixtape menu! Restaurant is in a great location. Would not recommend trying to drive in (I never do at least). Easily accessible from South station or courthouse station via red and silver lines. There's plenty to do around after eating: shopping, desserts, walking. Also right across from Cisco if you fancy a night out. read more

This place was so good. Heard the burger is a standout so ordered that. Came with this amazing sauce and the patty was crispy on the outside and seasoned so well. Cheese melty. Bun was great. Cucumbers were so refreshing and delicious. Fried chicken was good but a little too sweet for me. Food came fast. Really good ambiance in here. Trendy spot with great food, would recommend! read more

It's possible this place has potential, but I feel like the dishes I got here were a let down. It's an American-Korean fusion place, but definitely felt more American with a dash of Korean flavors. The fried chicken is like a general Tso's but the flavor profile was off. Their burger is basically just a normal burger. We tried an ice cream as well but it was nothing to write home about. read more

the food here wasn't bad but also wasn't incredible. nothing stood out to me besides the chopped cheese' rice cakes. yuzu toast was so interesting; i wasn't a huge fan of the chili oil but didn't hate the yuzu ricotta. i don't think i'd order it ever again. the legendary burger wasn't anything special honestly; the kimchi special sauce saved it but the meat was slightly charred/burnt. black sesame crème brûlée was good, just wish it had a thicker consistency! it was too watery for my liking service was fine, my waiter was attentive but wasn't exactly friendly. really liked the aesthetics of the place though! read more

I was really excited to try Nowon when I heard it first opened in the Seaport and I'm glad I got to check it out! We went for dinner and decided to try the family style mixtape to get a variety of options. I definitely recommend ordering like this because you get a ton of food! We had the caesar salad, shrimp skewers, general lee's fried chicken, chopped cheese rice cakes, legendary cheeseburger, and garlic honey tots. My personal favorites and must tries were the caesar salad and cheeseburger! While the chicken and tots were good, I didn't think they were anything special. I also wish they had included a dessert option at the end instead of one of the savory dishes. Overall, this was a really good meal and food came out quick which was great! The inside has a fun vibe so you will definitely have a great night out if you check this spot out. read more

Went here after stopping into to Mai's sushi hand rolls down the street. Figure we try a couple spots in seaport we haven't been to. The vibe is fun, lighting is like being at a kings ambiance. Our server was nice, I did have to take initiative to grab my own utensils and condiments though. I would have filled my own waters if they let me get a pitcher haha. Then tots were nice and crispy and came out HOT which is appreciated! The shrimp skewers for me lacked flavor since you get 4 skewers maybe it was one but not for us that night and it was already cold by time we got it. The Jae's chicken sandwich had good balance of flavor, no heat of any sort. The temperature was like warm. It felt like the chicken wasn't freshly fried, not crispy and had a tough chew through it. The legendary burger was also luke warm but our friend enjoys that burger in general (she's been here before). All in all a chill spot to hang, I'd give it another try to see how the food is when HOT. The highlight for us was the taters. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my meal at nowon! This modern asian fusion spot has delicious takes on classic american and korean dishes. The chopped cheese rice cakes were insanely delicious- this dish takes all the best spicy sweet taste of the classic tkkeoboki and combines it with creamy flavorful chopped cheese meat to make a heavenly combo (get this!!). I also had the lunch special which comes with a smash burger, honey tots, and kimchi cucumbers. The smash burger was great, classic flavor. The honey tots were YUMMY - sweet, salty, crunchy, and paired well with the creamy sauce. The kimchi cucumbers were good nothing special. I also loved the ambiance of nowon - feels like an elevated restaurant with a fun playful feel. read more

Although I had a more positive experience on my second outing, I think I'll keep the rating the same. Finally brought my sister, even though she was the one that told me about NOWON. To get a better feel of their menu, we went with The Classic Mixtape. The irony is that it requires 2 people minimum, so we each get charged $55 for half of the 7 course meals. 1. Black Sesame Caesar Salad - sister loved it, pretty flavorful for a salad. 2. Grilled Shrimp Skewers - 2 and it was good while it lasted. 3. General Lee's Chicken - I LOVE this item and really made me hopeful about my future visits to NOWON. Could use rice to damper the flavor a bit. 4. Chopped Cheese Rice Cakes - okay, some things shouldn't mix. 5. Honey Garlic Butter Tots - simple, but our second favorite item. 6. Legendary Cheeseburger - my sister was very excited with everything until this point. She took one bite and put it down. That's 2 for 2 of the Legendary Cheeseburger, luckily we only had to finish half each. 7. Chef's Choice of Dessert - we were given the bill, no dessert ever appeared... read more

5 out of 5! Friday night with friends, we were looking for a new spot none of us had tried. Nowon is a New York joint that's recently expanded to Boston. We made a reservation and didn't know what to expect. Arriving, we discovered they have an outdoor patio, large bar, and a well-laid-out interior. Great place to go as a couple or with a group of friends. It's night-appointed. Good lighting. Comfortable seats. The music and music videos playing on the back wall above the open kitchen added to the vibe. The menu isn't huge but has enough to choose from. We all opted to go for the pre-fixe, which they call "mix tapes." They have two options. We went for the smaller option of 5 courses. It was more than enough food; we were all stuffed and struggling to finish the, spoiler, delicious tots by the end. This is what we had: - Black sesame Caesar salad - General's fried chicken - Rice cakes - Cheese burger - Honey butter tots The salad was a good portion, topped with a blizzard of grated cheese; it was very tasty. But the other dishes were so incredible I actually forgot how good the salad was by the end. It's hard to say which I liked more: the fried chicken or the rice cakes. They were both incredible. The chicken were big chunks of tender battered chicken in a perfectly sweet and spicy sauce. The rice cakes, though! Prepared in a way I haven't had anything before. They were in the most delicious sauce that almost tasted like a bolognese. Never have I had rice cakes side by side with fried chicken prepared in a way that made them more craveable than the chicken! By the time the burger came we were already feeling full. But the burger was delicious. A great example of a smash burger. Cheesy, saucy, with pickles. It was just the right amount of messy. Then came the tots. Served in a delicious garlic butter honey sauce. They kept getting better. That I mean is by the time you make it half way through the large mound of tots you find the sauce pooled on the bottom on the bowl. It's addicting and you can't stop dipping them. Our server was attentive. I saw her checking or progress without being invasive so that she could time the next course. She did a great job. As for drinks they have a full bar. They also offer soju and have two type of soju flights. I opted for the "original" flight. No mistakes made. It was great! Nowon is a great addition to the seaport. We will definitely be back. read more

I think this was a creative concept with the Korean-American fusion. We got the chopped cheese rice cakes and the Legendary Burger. I appreciated how soft and chewy the rice cakes were, and was pleasantly surprised by the chopped cheese! The legendary burger was also pretty good, but honestly didn't really get a whole lot of Korean taste from it. The kimchi sauce wasn't very strong and it honestly didn't taste too different from an American burger. It was still good though, I will give it that. I just wish it were spicier. The service was also excellent even though it was pretty empty when we went. Our server was super attentive and patient while we ordered. I'd come back again and probably order something different. read more

Nowon Seaport - Chopped Cheese Rice Cakes & The Legendary Burger - Gastropubs Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We chose to order à la carte since the whole table has to do the 5-course EP, and we wanted some different items. Price-wise, ordering separately came out to only about $3 more than the pre-fixe, so it was worth it. Nowon has since updated their menu, but when we visited we had the Kimchi Fried Rice (minus bacon), The Legendary burger, shrimp mandu with chili oil, and the tofu sandwich. We would get everything but the tofu sandwich again. The fried rice and mandu were excellent! The space is vibrant and fun, with movies playing and great music. It is a bit loud and the tables are close together, but overall the vibe is great and I'm excited to go back and try more. read more

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect but Nowon Seaport wasn't half bad! Definitely exceeded my expectations, in a way. They offer classic American food with a Korean twist. This is their 3rd & newest location, with two other locations in NY (East Village NYC is the original flagship & 2nd in Brooklyn). OMG! If there's one dish on the menu you must get, please let it be the honey garlic butter extraordinary tots. They are phenomenal & the perfect appetizer. We came here after having dinner down the street actually lol, and still felt a little hungry so we ordered the following dishes to try: -honey garlic butter extraordinary tots -seared shrimp skewers -Jae's chicken bun -the legendary burger Honey garlic tots, A MUST order! Seared shrimp skewers, meh. I honestly wasn't too much of a fan, though that could be because they arrived to the table a little cold & I like my food hot. I also felt like the shrimp was missing something in flavor? The Jae's chicken bun had nice flavor + seasoned well but could've been better if it was crispier & like the shrimp, the sandwich was lukewarm upon arrival. The legendary burger was flavorful and looked pretty (oopsies, I guess I forgot to capture a photo of it hahaha) but like the other dishes, came lukewarm. I feel like since most of the dishes, with the exception of the tots, came warm & not hot, we didn't get the full experience? I think perhaps we would've liked Nowon more if the food was hot. Another thing I want to mention is that the service isn't great. It's difficult to get the attention of the staff. We found ourselves having to grab utensils & napkins, since no one was really attending to us... With this all being said, I would say 3/5 is a fair & definitely reasonable rating for our experience at Nowon Seaport. read more

Nowon absolutely delivered on every front! The food was everything it was hyped up to be--bold, flavorful, and executed to perfection. From the first bite to the last, every dish hit the mark. What really took the night to another level, though, was the energy behind the bar. The young brotha holding it down there was phenomenal--super welcoming, full of personality, and his deep knowledge of the menu made the whole experience feel curated just for us. His recommendations were spot on and added so much to our evening. Vibes, food, service--top tier. read more

We came in with a reservation for an early weekend dinner, but it wasn't busy inside. And definitely not busy enough to charge a fee for a no show if your plans change (at last for our time). We each got a Legendary Cheeseburger. I liked the 2 patties, while my partner would've preferred 1. The burger itself was a bit dry and could've used more of the fixings that come with it, especially the kimchi sauce. The General Lee's Chicken was fine, but wasn't all that special. We didn't get any drinks, so no comment on that. The interior, ambiance, and design of everything, were great! I agree with another review that said the service was nice, but generally hands-off, but they did check on us once after the food was served. In all, even though the place looks good and is in a nice pocation, there's many other Boston-area places that will do a better burger for me (including Asian-inspired burgers) or have chicken that I would've liked more (plenty of spots for that as well). I suspect that for most of their other dishes, another place would execute them better too, so I can't really see myself coming back here. read more

I was very excited to try Nowon as I have heard a lot about this place. I visited on a weeknight around 7pm for dinner. The place was decently full. I didn't have any reservations and was dining solo. I was seated at the bar. Immediately the vibe was a little cold, the bartenders attending to other folks around, not making any eye contact or small talk with their new customer. Sadly this here is a test of customer service - how restaurants treat solo diners. Someone finally handed me the menu. The menu is not extensive. Based on the bartender's recommendation I got the cheeseburger and the curried tots. Note that the burger doesn't come with any sides so you will have to order a full sized side. My food came out fast, with no cutlery which I had to ask for. I also got a sake. The food was great, well seasoned. But honestly it wasn't worth the hype of price tag. Perhaps it's the location that you're paying for. After tax and tip I paid around $56 which felt very overpriced. read more

Nowon, the newest arrival to the neighborhood, brings bold NYC-Korean energy with plates that don't hold back. The General Lee's Chicken: no frills, no apologies, just perfect execution; a golden crackle with every bite. The Extraordinary Tots: drenched in honey garlic butter, they blur the line between indulgence and obsession. Obviously, we had to try both of their burgers: Legendary Cheeseburger vs. Dry Aged Steak Burger Legendary Cheeseburger: this one's a full blown flavor throwback. It had thin, griddled patties with deep sear, stacked with New School American Cheese (I had the chance to try this cheese last year when I met Chef Eric Greenspan at a Mike and Patt's tasting event; so much better than the American cheese that we are used to) that melts cleaner and creamier than the classic slice. Add tangy pickles (everyone who knows me personally knows that I hate pickles, but these were different), caramelized onions, and house sauce that clings to the bun just right. It's nostalgic, but elevated. Dry Aged Steak Burger: this one's the grown up. A dry aged blend that's funky, beefy, and complex. The patty has a firmer bite, a deeper umami pull, and it's still wrapped in that same New School American Cheese, which adds just enough creaminess to balance the richness. Every dish is deliberate, confident, and built to stand out, just like the neighborhood it landed in. The decor inside is facinating as well! I definitely recommend making a reservation for this one. This place fills up fast! Thank you for this great meal, Nowon! read more

First visit to Nowon, a sort-of-Korean import from New York City. Upbeat modern design with Asian art and signage. The main draw for me was their dry aged burger, but it turned out not to be offered during brunch. My choice of side was curry tots, a ho-hum presentation but plenty of them. "Legendary" Burger: Very solid for a double smash, coming in crispy as per the style without sacrificing tenderness and juiciness, as happens too often with that style. Nice beef flavor, complemented and not upstaged by the toppings, which include kimchi. General Lee's Chicken: Very impressive fried chicken appetizer as well. Crisp, spicy, tender. Compelling sweet and spicy flavors, with peanut and scallion to dress things up. Good portion and value for the price, which I can't really say for the rest. Tofu Burger: My wife's order had good thickness and tenderness. Her choice of side was a Caesar salad; another large portion. Eggplant Toast: Decent, though on barely toasted bread and a tiny portion. Prices were not only high, but $3 per sandwich higher than on the website menu, even though they've only been open a short time. Service: Very hands-off even though it wasn't busy. The server seemed to be looking in any direction BUT the table. The food was mostly good, but kinda undecided on whether to return for the dry aged burger. Probably a one-time splurge, but there are plenty of places with better value. read more

Excuse me -- there is some hibiscus and wasabi in my mezcal. Oh wait -- that was intentional...and it's good. It's sometimes hard to square Boston with diversity, particularly in the food scene. Nowon is a great addition to helping make the case though -- even if it is as a transplant from New York (as a transplant myself I don't mind!). The "Evil Eye" drink was balanced -- not too sweet with a bit of kick, but not quite as much as I would have expected. If I get it again, I may ask the bartender to kick up the spice. As it was my first time, I had to try the legendary. The carmelization on the beef of the burger was spot on and the american cheese added creaminess without interfering with the flavor of the kimchi, which shown through. I was seated at the bar, as I tend to be -- but dimly lit place was giving off hangout vibes, so next time I'm bringing a friend. Thank you, Jae Lee (and Babu Koganti)! I'll be back. Love your story and hopefully we can meet someday soon. read more

We arrived on a Saturday night and were seated quickly in time for our reservation, which was a great start to the evening. Space felt much smaller than expected, and the tables are extremely close together. The dining area felt tight and very loud as a result. One thing that stood out was the placement of the single bathrooms. They are right near the dining area. If someone forgets to close the door, the smell carries over to nearby tables, which is not ideal in such a compact space. Of course, that is largely due to the layout, so it is not necessarily anyone's fault. That said, some type of diffuser and space separator might help. The bathrooms themselves could also use some attention, as they felt quite unkempt and gave off more of a club bathroom vibe than a restaurant. Our table for 2 had a large cylinder filled with chopsticks, which felt unnecessary and took up valuable table space given how small the tables are. Unfortunately, the water glasses we were initially given were visibly dirty, though they were promptly replaced once we mentioned it. While the staff was cleaning a nearby table, cleaning spray was used and some of it drifted onto us. Given how close the tables are, it might be better to spray the cloth first and then wipe the tables to avoid overspray. There were also long gaps between dishes coming out, which made it difficult to enjoy the meal together since items arrived at very different times. One of our dishes was forgotten entirely, though to the server's credit they quickly corrected the mistake. They also comped part of the bill, which was not necessary but was a very kind gesture and much appreciated. Overall, the drinks are strong and the food is decent if you enjoy fusion style dishes. While the tight layout made table dining less comfortable, I would consider coming back and sitting at the bar next time for a different experience. As a millennial, I did enjoy the music videos and playlist playing in the background. It added a fun, nostalgic vibe to the night. read more

Ambiance for a Korean fusion is pretty nice and service was good and up to par. We did the prefixed menu to try a number of their dishes. Everything was tasty and tho the burger is listed as "legendary" we thought it was our least favorite thing although that doesn't still mean it wasn't good. It just speaks to their other menu items that were all delish. I'd stop by again and it didn't seem too hard these days to grab a resy, but when that would be, can't really tell and wouldn't be in much of a hurry. Overall it's a place worth checking out for comfort food, but nothing notable that was a high wow factor for us. read more
