    The Legendary Burger Garlic Honey Tots
    Bisma A.

    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.

    Chopped Cheese Rice Cakes & The Legendary Burger
    Iris X.

    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.

    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.

    In Seaport for the afternoon and stumbled upon this spot for a tasty bite. The service was great! The restaurant and bathrooms were clean. The dishes were flavorful. Perfect blend of Korean fusion food! Prices were fair with decent portion sizes.

    My friend and I tried out this place for brunch this past weekend. We got the lunch set which came with the legendary cheeseburger, cucumber kimchi, and honey garlic tater tots. The cheeseburger was a double patty cheeseburger. It was so delicious! It had a spicy kick too it The honey garlic tater tots were really good too. For dessert, we got the black sesame creme brulee. Good stuff! Hope to try the rice cakes and chicken sandwich next time!

    The vibes in this place are sooooo chill and just what I was looking for. The ambiance, the lights, the music, loved it. Now on to the food!! Wow wow wow. The chopped cheese rice cakes???? AMAZING. Now THAT is what I call a hybrid food gone great! General Lee's chicken--if you're a fan of soy sauce based food, then you'll love it! The soju flight was great too--you can just tell that they work hard in creating these delicious drinks. Check this place out if you're curious and take a lot of cute pictures inside because it's definitelyyyyy a wonderful vibe.

    Stopped by Nowon to grab a quick bite while in the area and they delivered just two absolute banger dishes. I ordered the burger and the kimchi friend rice (no pork) and was blown away by both. Really cool interior, busy place but decent amount of seating and wasn't too difficult to secure a last minute Resy. Definitely recommend, great Korean gastropub!

    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.

    Outside patio

    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.

    Kimchi Fried Rice
    Justin G.

    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.

    CLASSIC MIXTAPE- cucumber kimchi, ricotta toast, general Lee's chicken, lamb ssam, legendary cheeseburger and honey butter tater tots

    The service was good, the host was friendly and the servers checked in on us from time to time but they mostly were off doing other things which I dont mind at all. The vibes were ok, your typical loud music and cute decor. This review is MAINLY for the food. The online menu definitely made it sound better than what it actually was. We ordered the classic mixtape set and we were so confused about what was on our table. We started off with some drinks, I had the Evil Eye cocktail which was nice and refreshing. It didnt have wasabi in it like the online menu described but was still good. The food started with the cucumber kimchi and ricotta toast and they were both the best things on the menu. Everything after was just not good...Then the lamb ssam came out, and to say it was underwhelming is an understatement. I dont know what we were expecting but it was a small bowl of under seasoned ground lamb meat and a side of lettuce. Next came the general Lee's chicken and I dont know why this chicken was more sweet than anything. There was no other seasoning or spices, it was just fried chicken in honey. Then the burger and honey butter tots came. The burger was pretty good, slightly better than a big Mac. There was kimchi in the burger and I dont know why since it was barely noticeable. The tots were just sweet. Just like the chicken it was just tots in honey. It didnt have that famous honey butter flavor. The chicken and tots were so sweet that it was hurting our teeth a little lol and we didnt even feel like dessert afterwards. Our total bill was 150 (two cocktails and the set) plus tip. I wouldn't go here again for the food but maybe a quick bar visit for the drinks

    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.

    Rice cakes
    Niamh M.

    Nice food and the service was quick! Bit pricey for what it is. We tried the cheeseburger, chopped cheese rice cakes, tater tots and the mushroom noodles. Would have liked the noodles to have more flavour, tasted oily but needed something else. Tater tots were great, crispy and a nice honey sauce! Best thing for me was the rice cakes with spicy beef! Dessert option was just a panna cotta. Won't rush back, mainly because of the price and there was no standout dish

Salty Pig Pizza: A pizza with the same name as the restaurant! Who was the genius who came up with the idea of ​​salted pig and beer caramel? It's brilliant! The salted pork appears to include Prosciutto di Parma from Langirano, Prosciutto Cotto, and Salcissia. Baking rendered the prosciutto's fat, which blends with the caramel to create a beautiful golden syrup that flows across the pizza's surface. The prosciutto was savory, oily, and tender; the minced salcissia retains its coarse texture and rich meaty aroma; the caramel was sweet and mellow with a honey-like sweetness, forming the top, middle, and base notes respectively. The arugula was slightly warmed, losing its astringent and raw taste while maintaining its crisp texture, helped to cut through the richness together with the Parmesan cheese powder. The crust was crispy, while the inside the dough was soft and chewy. The cooking time and seasoning were all just right, and the restaurant's proud wooden oven added a charming smoky flavor. Affogato: I had high expectations, but it was just okay. The espresso was too sour, and the vanilla ice cream couldn't balance it out. The almond biscuits had an overpowering almond flavor, and the flavor of plant-based protein was terrible! (Oh, this should have been a plus...)

My server convinced me to get the spicy clam, and it was devoured so fast. It was gone before he filled my water! Packed with clam meat, drowning in tomato sauce, and it actually had heat --not that "we waved a chili at it" kind of spicy. I fully intended to have some for the next day and then aggressively did not. Final verdict: cozy vibes, bold flavors, zero self-control, and I will absolutely be back.

I love that the focus is around serving food in Tip as their highlight. I will say a lot of their food is cooked with alcohol, so slow down and read if that's something you're trying to avoid.

If you're there for a nice and simple date they've separated a space to do just that as well. It's been a while since I've been enthusiastic about a restaurant and I have to say the restaurant was a great experience, please try!
