Asian-inspired steakhouse blending Korean & Texas flavors
"Anchored by Barbara Werley’s nightly presence in the wine room, this steakhouse showcases a wine program she calls “the best list in the city” and “the most unique list in Dallas,” with prices she says are “amazing” and selections tuned to the Asian influences on the menu and its great beef. Her intimate Sips of the Summer classes — only 10 seats, immediate sellouts in June, July, and August, and continuing through Thursday, September 18 — have featured flights like the Pinot family (Pinot gris, Pinot blanc, and Pinot Chardonnay) paired with a slider, a little cheese plate including blue cheese gorgonzola, and the East steak tartare to see what works with which wines. The list is evolving toward fun, different options: two pages of sake arranged by style to guide guests, a by‑the‑glass Lambrusco that isn’t too fizzy and suits the flavors here, a half bottle of Amarone for those testing the waters, and even a pét‑nat from Rajat Parr that earned her approval." - Courtney E.

"Dallas is still waiting for its answer to Cote, but Nuri Steakhouse has at least moved the needle in that direction. The Korean-led restaurant—which famously cost $20 million to build—leans classic American steakhouse, with dry-aged Texas strips, Japanese wagyu, and creamy buttermilk mashed potatoes. All good things. But live a little and pair your steak with spicy Korean gumbo flecked with crunchy kimchi and snappy Akaushi sausage, or the grilled veggie bibimbap that'll have you fighting your friends for the last bits of crispy rice on the bottom of the stone bowl. Add in 750 wines, including many rare bottles dating back decades, and Nuri is ideal for big nights out, whether you’re celebrating a birthday or going wild with an expense account." - kevin gray

"While it’s not straight Korean food, this steakhouse is one of the most notable fine dining Korean establishments in the country. The menu combines the expertise of chef Minji Kim and executive chef Mario Hernandez into a menu loaded with Texas steakhouse classics with Korean twists, Korean dishes, and Louisiana-inspired fare. The dining room is out of the world, costing a reported $20 million to pull together, from the custom-made wallpaper to the custom-designed dishes." - Courtney E. Smith
"What is there to say about Nuri that hasn’t already been said? How about this: it’s a damn good time. Sure it has amazing cuts of steak that are expertly prepared. Yes, it has an East meets West style menu that is fun and is a first in town by integrating South Korean traditions into Texas steakhouse standards. And sure it’s expensive. But honestly, it is such a very good time." - Courtney E. Smith
