NOFLEX NYC

Such a fun atmosphere and hip music. Delicious food and cool drinks. Try any of their amazing cocktails!!! Say hi to Christopher - he’s so friendly and fun!

No Flex is a creatively curated Korean spot that combines K-pop flair with modern artistic elements to create a space that is fun, trendy, vibrant, and visually stimulating. Upon entry, your attention is immediately drawn to the screens above the bar that display a variety of imagery and digital art. In addition to the visually appealing aesthetic, the staff and menu offerings make the experience a memorable and unique one. The staff was pleasant, knowledgeable, attentive, and efficient. The menu offers a large selection of delicious food at very reasonable prices, served in large shareable portions. The cocktails were all unique and tasty. No Flex is great for an afterwork spot, celebratory dinner, or a fun night out on the weekend.

Not your average night out!!! Vibing hard at Noflex NYC ♥️ This place is like stepping into a real-life Korean night scene. 🇰🇷✨ The trendy latest beats, amazing food, killer cocktails, and sweet staffs? 🔥🔥🔥 It's the perfect spot for a night out with friends.

I love going to no flex. The music is usually great! The food tastes yummy and is very creative! The drinks are crazy good and now that they have a full liquor license, the cocktails pack a bit more of a punch than they did when they were made with wine ! Also they usually have DJs in the weekends and there’s a little room to have a good time

I love the vibe in the place first of all. I ordered Tako Wasabi as appetizer and Korean Chinese style chicken (유린기) and black cod (대구구이) as main menu. 대구구이 itself is so fresh. The cook is perfect so that the texture is sooo soft and delicious. 유린기 is not too salty and not too sweet - perfectly balanced. I highly recommend those food!!

Are you looking for the best place for party in NYC now? Then you should go to Noflex!!! the staffs are always super friendly and so welcoming. Also, the DJ’s are top-notch and always know how to get the crowd moving, playing the latest hits like K-pop!! I love K-pop songs. the food and drinks are really fantastic as well! If you are looking to have a n amazing night out, I cannot recommend this place enough. You must feel it. It became my go-to place every weekend. I feel like I’m writing this as a staff, but I’m a real customer lol. Turn off the Netflix on weekend; Just go to Noflex to have more fun lol. Best of best place ever In NYC.

The name of the spot is playfully ironic given how the visuals inside are definitely flexing on you. It's a fun blend of a lounge, bar and restaurant where you can be here for any sort of occasion. Really like the overall vibe: fun neon lights, cool artistic interior design choices and chill lounge-like house music for a 8-10pm Saturday. Food-wise, we got the Charcoal Kkochi skewers and the Noflex futomaki, which were a bit overpriced for my liking but still decent. Heads up that some the futomaki rolls have hidden wasabi that can really kick you as a surprise.

The graphics on the immersive art screen were impressive. I liked that there wasn't a dedicated server and instead, several kind servers would come by to promptly check if there was anything we needed. Their mocktails and all the Korean/Japanese fusion dishes we had were excellent!

I saw this place on Tiktok and I knew that I wanted to stop by and try. I will say that it is very vibey and seems like a great place to go before you actually go out - not sure if coming here on a Tuesday is really the vibe but atlas that is when I came here. My bestie and I grabbed dinner here on a Tuesday around 5 pm and it was really empty inside. The staff was super nice. The menu itself was not super extensive but they had good food options and a lot of good drink options if you are interested in cocktails. For food we decided to get the: -Sweet Potato fries - the dipping sauce that it came with was the star of the show, so flavorful and delicious -Charcoal Skewer Combo: The flavors were pretty good, some of their meats were really tender and delicious, the veggies were just alright but I really liked this as it allowed us to try a variety of different skewers -Mentaiko cream udon: This dish was really yummy highly recommend, super creamy and flavorful and the udon was very bouncy. Overall - I think it would be a great dinner place with friends especially if you guys grab some drinks. They have really cool sounding cocktails and also other great dishes to share! The food that we had was really good as well but I think in the future I would probs come back during a weekend!

Decent bar. I've been twice now with table reservations and have had good experiences both times. Tried the Jeju Margarita this past visit and it was great (strong and tasty). We always get Soju shots and they come pretty standard. Very aesthetically pleasing to have drinks there, good vibes and good music. I never feel rushed to order more drinks or to leave which is huge in my book for NYC.

While it advertises media art, it's essentially just a digital plasma TV displaying noflex across the screen. We visited on a Friday night, and there was a $15 cover charge per person, which included a shot that wasn't so good. As a group of seven, we found the place unusually empty, leaving us puzzled about the cover charge. The music was decent but leaned towards older tracks that weren't particularly memorable. Overall, I didn't enjoy my experience--maybe it was an off night, but I wouldn't return again. The cover charge didn't make sense for this kind of place. No one was dancing but us!

Food was great, just wish they had a wider selection of beers to drink with. Service was great too but they said we couldn't order anymore due to it being Valentine's Day and us being walk-ins. Wasn't too bothered by it. The place also hosts events and turns into a club some nights. Great mood/ lighting but you might not be able to see your food.

Knocked a star down for slow and inattentive service. We waited for a solid 10-15minutes from sitting down and even then no one came by. We had to get up and find a server and ask them to come to our table... In terms of everything else... super freaking cool. The drinks were so delish. I couldve had at least 3-4 of their cocktails. The ambience is also really cool, imagine a club meets an art exhibit. Huge plus that they were playing some hiphop bangers. If they turned this place into a club I'd probably be here every weekend!

Coming from someone from the Bay Area, I felt the place was lit and had good music upon walking in. It was barely midnight on a Saturday night and starting to pick up the energy . However we didn't know you couldn't order any of the cocktails past 11pm so we were bummed about that cause we were looking forward to trying them. The DJ played great songs and also took requests. We were lit and enjoying the dance floor by 1am, however it started to die down and a lot of people left. The service was also mid, we had to get drinks at the bar even though we were seated at a table because no one came to attend to us for at least 15 minutes. Later, they ended up forcing us to close out our tab, closing the place on us and kicking us out before 1:30am even though the bar is supposed to close at 4am. There were even people still wanting to come in but they closed early. Kind of killed the vibe for me cause we were having a great time. And on a Saturday is crazy.

the food was mid and drinks were okay the food: i got the ddukbokki, fries with truffle sauce, and prosciutto with melon. the pistachios on the prosciutto were soooo stale and the prosciutto itself was very old because it was not soft or fatty, but more hard like cardboard lol. ddukbokki and fries were fine. the drinks: nothing amazing, tasted like a standard dive bar - but for the price point of specialty drinks, it is disappointing. the space: it's huge the service: attentive only when you go early. later it's nearly impossible to flag anyone down.

Heard mixed reviews about their food and drinks, but I personally found their newly launched menu really good. They offer an extensive menu of food, dessert and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). It is a cafe during the day and transforms into a bar at night. The interior gives a neon nightclub vibe with its bold lighting and media art installation. ＊Pork Belly Bossam** I strongly recommend getting their Korean mains. The pork belly bossom is our favorite dish with the perfect meat-to-fat ratio. It is on the saltier side, so it will be a great accompaniment to your beer or cocktails. ＊Soy Garlic Boneless Chicken* Soy garlic boneless chicken is another standout -- finger-licking delicious and I like the roasted pumpkin slices. ＊Sweet Potato Fries and Truffle Aioli If you want something to snack on while chatting with friends, get the sweet potato fries. Well seasoned and the truffle aioli is addictive. ＊Soft Shell Crab Handroll ＊Spicy Avocado Salmon Crispy Rice Imo the handrolls and crispy rice are skippable unless you want more snacks to pair with your drinks. ＊Kyoto Hoji Tea Roll Cake** DON'T SLEEP ON THEIR DESSERTS. The hojicha roll cake is a huge surprise -- the hojicha cream has strong tea flavor, enveloped in the soft sponge cake. The green tea ice cream on the side is okay but great to eat with the roll cake. ＊Creamy Ricotta Strawberry Croffle While the croffle has a nice crunch texture, we found the strawberries quite sour. It's probably because the ice cream is too sweet. ＊Virgin Mojito, Korean Yuzu Sour* The korean-inspired cocktails/mocktails aren't too sweet, unique in flavors and cute looking.

Back after half a year and left feeling disappointed. It definitely gets crowded and is louder towards the back. Takes forever for your drink to come out, even more so the food. When we asked, a server came back saying the food had been ready but they were not notified.. So does that mean it was just sitting there cooling off?... The croquette was yummy, but this tiramisu martini that was supposed to be like espresso martini was just horrible. I really tried to drink more of it b/c it was expensive but every sip was just bad.. The whipped cream on top was bitter and was not sweet at all, and the drink itself was also just so bitter and kept making my tongue tingle. It's also almost impossible to get a server's attention and we had to ask multiple times to get our water refilled.. When we finally asked for the check it also took awhile for him to come with the machine, but that machine didn't work so he went back to the bar to get one. But I checked the check during then and thank goodness because 20% tip was already included?? For a party of 2?? Not sure how 20% is defaulted when their service is so spotty and asked for more tip after paying for the check.

After seeing NOFLEX on social media, my boyfriend and I made a reservation on a Friday night. There was plenty of seating and it wasn't too busy, so walk-ins are definitely feasible. The interior of the restaurant was very unique, with a huge screen behind the bar showing a variety of designs and red lighting. We were sat at a high table and we ordered the kimchi fried rice, fries, and mentaiko cream udon. The fries were pretty good and although the portions appeared small at first, they were a decent size! I really enjoyed my udon but I wish there was another component such as some meat or vegetables in the noodles so that it wasn't as one dimensional. My boyfriend also enjoyed his kimchi fried rice. I would recommend stopping by if you are in the area and enjoy Asian cuisine!

Interesting and fun cocktails. Atmosphere is vibey as you can tell from the lights. Servers are probably what make this place great -- super nice and very attentive. Yuzu sour cocktail was great. My friend got the tiramisu. Really sweet but if that's what you like then it's the dessert cocktail for you.

Came here for dinner with a group of friends on a Friday evening and we got seated very fast. I liked how spacious the interior was as well as how unique the menu was (coming from someone who usually isn't a fan of Asian fusion). My favorite dish of the night was the kimchi pancake (it typically includes pork belly but they were able to modify the dish to not include it since I'm vegetarian). It had the perfect crispy to chewy ratio, which I don't often find, and I loved the flavor of the kimchi that they used. The dish is also garnished with peppers, scallions, and a runny egg which further complimented it perfectly. Even the soy sauce with peppers that came on the side was delicious and further elevated the pancakes. (5/5) Next we ordered the tteokbokki tempura, an interesting twist to regular tteokbokki. This entree was good but not noteworthy, simply on par to most other tteokbokki that I've had. (3.75/5) The least favorite for everyone in our party was the omelette kimchi fried rice. We found it lacking in flavor, especially compared to all the other things we ordered. However this was an easy fix since we still had the soy sauce that came with the kimchi pancake and I found it paired quite well together. But the dish standing on its own would range somewhere between 2.75-3/5. Also, I just wanted to include that they have some of the slipperiest chairs I've ever sat on. I was in jeans and kept sliding down the chair. Crazy.

We went sunday night like 12:40am Had such a high hopes but after 11pm, drink menu was so limited. To one mix drink, one beer, shots... no cocktails or nothing We had just vodka with juice Some people came after 1am , were turned down while we were drinking , they turned on the light and start cleaning it was like 1:15am They close at 2.... As soon as we ordered first drink , server asked to pay right away , and it seems already automatically charged us for tip... No options to leave the tap open... And we ordered second shots (thats when they started cleaning) Only reason i gave 4 star is because our bartender was nice Second shots was on him which was nice Reassured us we are ok to stay even though we said and felt we are being rushed I wanted to tip him more since he gave us drinks on the house but our uber arrived and we didnt have a cash so we had to rush out to catch our uber.. didnt even get to thank him for that Atmosphere was pinky pinky Next time we want to go during peak hours on friday or Saturday...

The food is fantastic. The service is amazing, welcoming, and positive. Good for dates, hangouts, groups, and having a good time. The atmosphere and environment are popping, vibrant, and so much fun! A This restaurant/bar/brunch/Cafe is so unique. There is so much seating and no one rushes you to get out like some of the bars in Ktown. I am shocked at how good the food and dessert are here. Here is what I've tried and nothing failed me yet. The food is moderately priced but everything is sharable and I think the portion isn't bad. The presentation is also really appetizing and appealing too. It's worth it! Food: Potato okonomiyaki, Dan Dan chili fries ( must try), Spicy boneless fried chicken, perilla mushroom pasta (highly recommend) Dessert: Creamy ricotta strawberry coffle, Kyoto green tea mousse cake, Brulee banana Nutella coffee Drink: porn star

My girlfriend and had some drinks and dessert only. But omg honestly I need to go back to get lunch or dinner and more dessert. The roll cake was definitely the best roll cake I have ever had. So soft and creamy it legit disintegrated in my mouth in a good way. Everything is so freaking fresh and the ambiance as you can see is definitely unique. Service is fast and nice. Come check it out.

The New York Night from here is one of my top 3 favorite cocktails in NYC, and I need to come back here to try the food and other cocktails! I barely tasted the alcohol in the drink and love the vanilla flavor. I also had a sip of the non-alcoholic Pina Colada, which was really good and didn't taste artificial. I might just order it next time as well. I had a bite of the Kyoto Hoji Tea Roll Cake, which was good but didn't stand out to me as much as the croffle I ordered. I personally didn't think the Brûlée Banana Nutella Croffle was too sweet, despite all the Nutella. The brûlée on the banana made the croffle taste more complex than it would have with just basic Nutella. Combined with the ice cream, the combination of flavors presents a really satisfying dessert. The vibes here are great and reminds me of the interesting cafe concepts in Korea. The service was also great, and workers here were friendly. I saw a friend group put up a happy birthday message on the screens behind the bar, which was really cool!

A new cool media art lounge located right in Ktown! - - - - - - - - - - ~ New York Night $18 ~ Rating: 1 / 5 One of the worst cocktail I ever had, it tasted bland, watered down, and artificial. The menu say it's supposed to taste of plum soju and yuzu, but i can't taste any of them I do get a hint of hibiscus, very subtle though. ~ Melting Brie Cheese Croffle $15 ~ Rating: 3.75 / 5 I like the flavour combination of savoury, earthy brie cheese with orange infused honey, cinnamon, and mixed nuts! Tasted delicious together with the crunchy croffle and vanilla ice cream. ~ Chestnut Mont Blanc $11 ~ Rating: 1 / 5 My friend ordered this, I didn't try the tart case so I don't know if it's well baked, but I did tried the chestnut puree and it's quite bland, you can barely taste the chestnut. - - - - - - - - - - Will I be back? No The giant screen looks impressive on video, but quite underwhelming in person. It does have cool vibes, but not enough to justify the terrible drink and overpriced desserts. Altho croffle is nice, it's not enough for me to come back I hear the food are mid too

The DJ: 10/5 - he was playing a great mix of hiphop which is different from most places in Ktown Ambiance/Decor: 5/5 as this place specializes in art installations and the screen is giant and beautiful Drinks: 2/5: their cocktails are pretty good - definitely works of art on their own but they don't have their liquor license so it's all soju based My biggest gripe with this place is actually the prices - my friends and I came around 10 and we were seated and already their premium sojus were ~$40 which is already so wild, but after 11, they start charging you for WATER AND their prices double for the same things once 11pm hits. My friends and I looked at the menu again just to see if we could order some food, but to order more drinks it was literally double - I have never seen an establishment change up their prices like that before in my life. But, I will say if you have no budget and you want some good music and good vibes, this is definitely the place - but again, sojus only and no liquor!

Ambiance and aesthetics were great, we enjoyed the drinks but nothing too unique/special about the cocktail menu. We came on a Friday night around 8pm with no reservation, it was very busy and only had bar seating available with no wait. Service was friendly, albeit a bit slow for how packed it was. Also note that the music was very loud, and difficult to hear each other. 4/5 Strawberry Ricotta Croffle 4.5/5 Mojito 4/5 Tiramisu Martini 4/5 New York Night

We came here after a long day and got some drinks and the bar was just so attractive designwise and I really enjoyed the menu! We bumped into someone we knew here and it just seems like it's been super popular. We got a few cocktails and had a great time. We had the pink pantheress, Ahh-Ahh, and the pornstar margaritas. Service was attentive and was super fast. Our drinks were quite sweet but super tasty, you almost can't taste the alcohol at all. Perfect for a girls night.

I always thought this place was just an art installation but little did I know it was also a trendy bar/restaurant! They were able to accommodate my party of 7 without any reservations (although it was slightly earlier in the night). Their snacks/apps exceeded my expectations! The fried calamari wasn't your typical calamari batter, but instead a very very light coating with this slightly sweet peanut jam, which surprisingly went well together. The seafood okonomiyaki was well-seasoned and nicely fried with a good mixture of meat and veggies. The croquettes were very creamy and buttery. For drinks, the Yuzu sour was refreshing as it was sweet. Would advise to stay away from the khee flower shots because they tasted kinda like water. They had a wide range of soju options. The vibes - felt like a mix between artechouse with large digital art panels and a lounge with a DJ playing club music. The tables themselves light up with a neon glow. As the night went on, they dimmed their lights and the music got louder. There are two floors. Staff were nice but at times are confused. We needed to repeat/confirm a couple of our orders and repeatedly ask help/service. Either way, I had a great time with my friends and definitely would recommend if you're looking for a fun night out!

It was okay, went to get drinks with the team. Since we had a large group, we were told that we had to get a table. It is a cool lounge but it wasn't worth it to get a table. They also limited us from what we can order at the table. Probably best to go with a smaller group.

Vibe is dope, Foods are so delicious, Cocktails are amazing, Staffs are so kind and gentle! Absolutely recommend!

I found out about third place on social media and was pretty interested in this lounge/restaurant. I did notice some reviews saying that visuals don't really live up to the concept of the place itself, and that was one of the first things I had noticed. I wish it had been more interesting, it just seemed a bit pointless. Maybe it if it was synced up to the songs, or if there were movies/videos in the background. However, I will say that when I went, there was a corporate event so they had their own logos shown the whole time. The food itself was pretty interesting. I went for the scallion panckaes, jalapeños bites, and this saucy steak dish (can't remember the name unfortunately). Although I had definitely ordered too much, I really enjoyed the food. My favorite had to be the steak dish. It was a perfect medium rare, very juicy and addicting. Even the vegetables were addicting. Whatever they did with that sauce, they're doing it right because it's a dish I plan to come back for. The scallion pancakes were also really good and they had quite a height to them. I thought it was a very intentionally crafted plate and there were generous amounts of shrimp in them. The crispiness of the dough was so satisfying as well. Be warned however, it is a large serving so you may want to make some room for other foods, or pack the rest to go! Although it didn't taste as crispy after I reheated it, the flavors were still there. While I wasn't crazy about the jalapeños poppers, I think it's definitely something fun to share with a group of people. I think I could have enjoyed it more if they were smaller bites, and it would be a nice amount to share. It is also another filling dish. Last thing I noticed, and definitely more of a personal preference/observation - the aesthetic and concept of the place didn't really stand out to me or it wasn't conveyed the way I hoped it would be, but something I thought could have been cool is if they had mirrors as their ceilings. I think the vibes of this place would have been really nice with that sort of feature. All in all, I'd come back again for the food! Pretty solid 4/5 dinner experience for me!

Such a cute spot, and they wrote a message on the walls for my friend's birthday! We loved our yuzu cocktail drinks!

Noflex is a hip lounge near KTown, perfect for a lively celebration. We enjoyed the shareable plates, especially the pork belly and chicken, during a birthday party. The food is flavorful and ideal for a group. Note that the music is loud, creating a vibrant but noisy atmosphere, so it's not the spot for quiet conversations. Great for a night out if you're up for a party vibe! The staff made our event feel special, adding to the fun experience. Highly recommend for a festive gathering!

We didn't order food when we came here, got drinks and they were OK. The ambience is very loud because it's a club setting and has a lot of lights and mirrors around the room. The DJ is in the center near the bar as you walk in and there are small booths upstairs and downstairs.

Updating review as I've now come back to try their dinner! I'm pescatarian and so when they were out of the makis, I asked if I could order some of their other dishes but have bacon taken out / no meat as to accommodate my dietary restrictions. They said they would but promptly gave us multiple dishes with the meat still inside it!! I didn't realize until I took a bite that there was meat inside it which was absolutely horrifying. Food is probably fine if you have no dietary restrictions, but all others please be warned!!! Tho dishes I could eat were quite mid. Maybe just the drinks are good...

So the ambiance was super amazing .. good blend of music and service was very attentive . But the drinks were weak for the pricing .. and the food was also pretty bland .. I would return here tho.. expecting a change It's so beautiful

We walked in and it was pretty dead on a Tuesday night. My friend and unexpectedly drank more than expected and were there for a few hours. We got the green tea mousse cake which was pretty. We also tried the tiramisu martini and Korean yuzu sour. Both were good and used nice liquor as I didn't feel terrible after drinking them. Their Sauvignon blanc was nice too. They don't have beer on the menu, but the owner was actually sitting next to us and offered us beer, which later wasn't on the tab. That was very nice of him. Thank you!

Stumbled across after walking by with some friends visiting and recognized the name. We did really enjoy the experience - sat at the bar, had a few drinks, and chatted with the bartenders. The aesthetic of the place is amazing, to just be able to look around and fill idle time just by exploring the art on the walls made every minute enjoyable. Visited in May, and at the time they did not have a liquor license, but I believe may be working on it? In substitution most drinks were made with either soju or sake, and as a soju lover this was not any issue. Their drinks were pretty and tasty, and small sharables were delicious to nibble on the side

food was decent, go there more for the vibes. turns into a night club at 11pm. Drinks were good but not strong at all. Spent 20 beans to not even feel tipsy

Considering that this is a soft opening, I would maybe consider giving it a 3/10, but overall, this place was disappointing. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous, with the giant screens and the lighting made it feel so luxurious and boujee. However, the drinks were all disappointing- my tiramisu martini was kind of curdled? Not sure if they just don't have full liquor license but all drinks were just soju/wine based, and a bottle of soju here will cost you $30-40. I'm not sure how this place is as a restaurant/cafe, but as a bar/nightlife spot, it was lackluster. Would consider coming again if they have full liquor license and expanded drink menu considering the place itself was so aesthetic, but you can definitely wait until then!

Vibes are immaculate but that's about it. Drinks were pretty expensive for low alcohol content (around $20 for a cocktail) but they were also delicious due to low alc haha. Service was also extremely slow, it took so long for them to just get us one drink. They also tried to charge us for an extra drink

Great addition to the K-Town area of NYC, felt like it was a spot from Vegas or Seoul! My girlfriend and I went on a Friday night and were able to get a table. The hospitality, trendy atmosphere, and music set the tone for a great night and dining experience. The menu offers a great selection of Asian / Korean inspired dishes with a modern twist. From the soft shell crab handrolls to the drinks, all were beautifully presented and bursting with flavors. Kudos to the chef, Chef Victor Han! The service was impeccable, with attentive staff members. The attention to detail with the food and even the interior & lighting were all accounted for. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great night out with friends or even a date night.

A new cafe lounge concept from Seoul opened up near ktown called NoFlex. They are a cafe during the day and lounge at night, cool vibes but nothing special about the cafe aspect for food and drink. I could see this becoming another hot spot for going out compared to mission and den. It's not busy yet so easy to eat seated and quick to get service from the staff.

Soft Opening of the newest spot in ktown branded as a media art lounge. They have an original location in Seoul and just popped up here in NYC. Obviously first and foremost, super nice vibey interior with modern futuristic lighting and decor. Plenty of bar seating at their long bar, 3-4 person high tops, as well as booths for larger groups. A nice welcomed refreshing change to the ktown scene. They do have live djs on the weekend. Since they're also a cafe/restaurant, they have quite an extensive menu for food w/ dessert as well. Not sure when their kitchen closes? They currently do not have their full liquor license and only serve beer/wine/soju (anticipating on getting their license in March). For their cocktails, this does mean they are quite expensive for relatively low alcohol content per drink. However, each are well made and have a strong attention to detail in every component. Mojito- sparkling wine, kinda sweet Flex Not Tolerated - they set this one on fire and there is some smoke! Service - Relatively fast but when they're slammed, cocktails do take a while. There's definitely some understandable kinks here and there but those get resolved as time goes on. Servers are well trained but lack the grace that comes with seasoned bartenders and nice oiled establishments. Once they have their full liquor license, I think this will definitely be a go to spot in ktown. Shout out to Jay who did a great job at the bar!

Place is very vibey. It give like art exhibit meets bar meets club. The drinks were great and so was service. We had bossam and seafood pancake both were good but a bit pricey for what it is. Good for groups

If I had to recommend anyone visiting or living in NYC a place to go to for dinner and drinks, it would be NOFLEX. My friend and I decided to make a reservation on a Saturday afternoon and luckily, there was a time slot available that fit our schedule. We arrived about 10 minutes early and were seated promptly. When getting seated, my friend asked to have the booth seat and I didn't understand why at first. After taking a seat and turning around, I finally understood why -- the wall behind me had a digital LED display that showed off various NYC landscapes. I was fortunate enough to also have a view of modern artwork hung up across the walls. For food, we ordered the mentaiko pork belly and hand rolled cigar rolls. My personal favorite was the pork belly, which was essentially bossam. What stood out about the dish was the radish that accompanied the pork. The radish was a great palette cleanser and complemented the pork well! On top of the delicious food and dark, unique, and modern decor, the drinks were absolutely stellar. My friend and I ordered the Korean Yuzu Sour, Flex Not Tolerated, and Tiramisu Martini. Each of the drinks had their own distinct characteristic about them that stood out. The Flex Not Tolerated had a smokiness to it that made it seem as if you were at a campsite. The Korean Yuzu Sour was sweet, tangy, and fruity. The stand-out drink of the night for me was the Tiramisu Martini. I got this drink after I finished my food and it was a great dessert to finish off the night. It was chocolatey, not too strong, and the whipped cream was heavenly. I definitely still dream about having a tiramisu martini! While pricey, the food, drinks, and ambiance in NOFLEX create an immersive, memorable experience. The next time I come back to NYC, I would love to carve out some time to visit in the afternoon as NOFLEX is transformed into a cafe during the daytime!

Wandered in for some quick bites and to check the ambiance of this new place! It's a short walk from the busiest part of Koreatown, so super easy to coordinate with friends. I wanted to go when it was a chiller time earlier on a Sunday, and let me just say the interior was absolutely gorgeous. The lighting made it feel as if everything was bathed in the most beautiful golden hour. Cocktails were elegantly presented, and the dabang coffee and chocolate cake slice were delicious. The food selection and prices seem to be expected for the ambiance. I love spaces that transport you into a different world contrast to the outside city, and this cafe/restaurant lounge does just that. Definitely coming back to try some more things on their menu. Staff were highly attentive and kind! I might even prefer coming during their cafe hours to soak up the relaxing soundtrack and warm creative energy, though I imagine it will turn into a more packed buzzy scene on Saturday nights especially!

Went with my friends around 10pm on a Friday night and we were seated right away. We were sat in the entry way hallway and it was an awkward and super cold spot to be in as the draft from the door came in and you don't see the full room (there were many empty tables elsewhere). We each ordered drinks and also fries and the skewer combo. The drinks were made so poorly. It tasted like a drinks made with the cheapest alcohol but with the price of a "bar/lounge." The skewer combo had RAW CHICKEN. After I bit into it, I noticed the texture was too chewy and felt suspicious. After I shined my flashlight onto the remaining piece of the chicken skewer, the whole inside was bright pink and raw. Only the outside had a very thin layer of white cooked meat. I was disgusted and very concerned and let the waitress know. The first waiter that came over told me that's how they cook their skewer....medium. He offered a new dish which we refused and then offered to comp it. Another waitress then came over (not sure why) and she then proceeded to tell us that it's not chicken but actually beef so it's okay that it was pink and raw. Very disappointing receiving different messages from the two employees and did not make sense that they were trying to tell me it was normal for it to be cooked medium and that it's beef. When very clearly the meat was chicken (layer of very thinly cooked white on the outside) and it's not normally cooked medium. For a bar/lounge with very subpar drinks, uncooked foods, awkward vibes, I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone.

Really hip, artsy ambience. Reddish glow from the table, moving silent pictures on the wall. Every dish was beautifully put together. The drinks were super aesthetic. I did enjoy my pork belly dish quite a bit. Definitely a little bit overpriced, but you're paying for the vibe. Good music choice with a live DJ as well. I came for dinner but would definitely return to try the daytime coffee.

Cool space and ambiance, but I suggest you go somewhere else for a night out. Stopped by to celebrate a friend's birthday with a medium sized group and were seated immediately. However, their drinks menu was super limited; also the prices were through the roof. The waiters were hard to get a hold of - we barely saw ours. Hopefully the daytime cafe is a better experience; and hopefully as time passes, the lounge gets better.

The ambiance and aesthetics were on point, but the drinks were nothing special considering their charging hard liquor prices for soju cocktails. Now, let me get to the real issue - the staff, especially this guy named BB. He was beyond rude, practically pushing us out for the next reservation when we weren't even close to hitting our supposed 2-hour time limit. First off, no one came to take our order for the first 20 minutes after being seated. And then to top it off, the dude brought us the wrong check, blamed it on their system error, and didn't even bother to apologize for his screw-up. Instead, he doubled down and came back to rush us for the payment, even after the correct bill was handed to us. This was a server that never even served us in the first place so why is he so pressed about getting his tip and pushing us on? It's infuriating to pay good money and be treated like an inconvenience. If they're going to charge a premium, at least have the decency to provide decent service.

As soon as you enter NOFLEX, you'll be greeted with the chill vibe of the restaurant. If you want an aesthetic place for cool pictures this is definitely the place for you. As for the food, its worth the price. The servings are actually pretty big enough to share! We had the pork belly and we reccomend it to try. The staff was also very attentive and answered our questions nicely.

Came here for my birthday and Jason was our waiter! We had a larger than intended party so they moved us upstairs to VIP which was great and accommodated our party better! They also do birthday shout outs on the jumbo led screen which is special!

They can not flex on their wait time! We waited an hour for our dish, fluke with seaweed and another hour for our green tea mousse cake. Both were good however, the wait irked me. It is a soft opening and at least they gave us two flutes of free champagne due to the long wait. It took TWO HOURS for the appetizer (fluke) and the cake. The tiramisu martini was good and tasted like dessert. The no flex and the yuzu sour were also good drinks!

The location is great and the place is beautiful with high ceilings and open space. The lighting, interior design and futuristic artwork in the space works really well. We were able to get a table for 10 even at 11pm on a Saturday night since it just opened. However, the drinks were ok and VERY expensive ($40) just to get a bottle of soju. The music was great and I feel like there is so much potential but didn't live up to the expectations. Since it's a really large bar/lounge space, it would be great if people could mingle and get drinks but it definitely seemed more like sit-down restaurant. The service was great and everyone was very welcoming and patient even with a large group. I would give it another try in the future if the pricing or use of the space changed.

Had really high expectations, and can attest there's a lot of potential and the space is really well decorated, but without their full liquor license there's no real drinks, just soju and sake which is severely overpriced and the cocktails are highly disappointing. We came with the hope to stay later to see the change to a club at 10pm but couldn't stand another round. Maybe will try again in a few weeks once they work out their kinks.
