Best Korean Food in Dallas/Fort Worth DFW | Eater Dallas

"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

Nuri hosted a private party for 40 people and it was out of this world! I could not have hoped for a better experience. Our catering manager, Courtney was amazing and made the entire soirée smooth and stress free. The wait staff, led by Elias, was spot on, anticipating every one of our guests’ needs. The food was well-timed, plentiful, and delectable. The entire event was a highly choreographed, sophisticated dinner. The guests all gave high scores and compliments. The event created memories that will last a lifetime.

Anniversary Dinner to Remember My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Nuri Steakhouse for the first time and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was upscale yet welcoming, and the service was truly best-in-class. We were warmly welcomed by Sally, who was managing the front of the house — her presence set the tone for the evening and made us feel right at home. Our server Shane was also outstanding: knowledgeable, attentive, and fun, with great recommendations and attention to detail. The food was phenomenal: • The Truffle Wagyu Dumplings were rich and indulgent, with a beautiful herb cream sauce. • The Char Siu Bacon with jalapeño stone-ground grits and mango pineapple chutney was a standout — savory, spicy, and sweet all in one. • The Wagyu Steak Tartare Two Ways was a unique and thoughtful dish that showcased creativity and flavor. • For the main course, we shared the 16oz Prime Ribeye from 44 Farms, perfectly cooked and paired with Yukon gold buttermilk mashed potatoes — smooth, buttery, with julienne cut scallions. • Dessert was a showstopper: the Lemon Cheesecake Mont Blanc with a ginger snap crust and white chocolate raspberry ganache. Shane prepared the ganache tableside using a special device that turned it into delicate spaghetti-like strands — a fun and memorable touch to end the meal. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit. Huge thanks to Sally, Shane, and the entire Nuri staff for making our special night even more memorable!

Nuri was a great experience . Was here for a birthday dinner and setting a reservation was pretty easy. Free valet parking. The design of the restaurant was really impressive and I couldn’t keep my eyes off all the details from the furniture to the lighting. Definitely worth the price , the food was amazing , the service very personalized. Our waiter explained the history and origin of the name as well as the owner and held some interesting conversation. Can’t wait for my next visit to try something new on the menu !

It was an incredible experience to dine at the Nuri. The food and presentation were impeccable. The service was outstanding. Everyone was so wonderful and friendly. Loved everything about it. Would highly recommend the Nuri. Our server Austin was amazing and made the experience a special memory for us. The sommelier was awesome at helping us choose a sake to pair well with our dinner.

Nuri is an Asian inspired upscale steakhouse in Dallas. Loved the ambience and service. The drinks are on point. We had drinks at the bar and got a table inside. We did not end up sitting at live jazz location as it’s chilly. Our server explained all the details of the interiors to our curious questions. The food and service and friendliness of the staff is on point. We would sure visit again

This place was truly one-of-a-kind! You can apparently tell that every single detail of the interior, menu, atmosphere, and mood of the place was thoroughly thought through. I’ve dined at some of the best places in the world and this is on the list! The service was absolutely impeccable. Austin took amazing care of us and we highly recommend. I cannot say enough about how amazing the experience was from beginning to end. Looking forward to many more visits.

We visited this new steakhouse for our anniversary, and while the interior design is beautiful and definitely Instagram-worthy, the overall dining experience didn’t live up to the hype. We tried a few appetizers, which were just okay — nothing memorable. I ordered the pasta, which was fine, and my boyfriend ordered a steak, which is supposed to be their signature. Unfortunately, it was disappointing — he didn’t even finish it. Drinks were average, and while we did try dessert, the selection was very limited and what we ordered felt basic and underwhelming. It’s probably worth checking out once for the ambiance, but we personally wouldn’t return. The experience felt overpriced for the quality, and there are definitely better steakhouses in Dallas that deliver more for less.

Update 04/20/25: We decided to try the inaugural brunch at Nuri for Easter. It was a 5-course menu priced at a great value. For starters, we tried the deviled eggs, yellowtail crudo, wagyu dumplings, and bacon with grits. All four dishes were presented beautifully and tasted delicious and unique in their respective ways. The Korean gumbo was as delicious as the first time we tried it. The lobster frittatas were surprisingly light with healthy portions of lobster. We finished the meal with a lemon tart and a variety of sorbets. Both were a great finish to a wonderful meal. Previous Review: Nuri Steakhouse far exceeded our expectations. I was anticipating that we would experience another hyped up overpriced Dallas restaurant where the food would be forgettable and I’d only remember the feeling of being disappointed. I’ll cut to the chase. Dumplings and fried spring rolls-great way start. The dumpling sauce was deliciously unique and balanced well with the crispiness and flavors of the spring rolls. 2nd course: Korean lobster tail and Korean gumbo. This combination was so good that I’m slightly concerned that I’ll be disappointed when I eat traditionally prepared lobster tail and regular gumbo. Entrees: bone in prime ribeye, scallops, Chinese broccolini and corn. The steak was cooked to medium perfection the way I like it and each carefully sliced piece I bit into satisfied the carnivore in me. The sides were surprisingly tasty. The bacon and delicately sliced peppers in the corn dish added depth to what is usually a very pedestrian side item. The only hiccup of the evening came in the form of the scallops. They tasted like overly salty blobs of goo and we couldn’t eat it. We let our server know and he acknowledged they would look into the preparation and promptly let us know they would remove it from our check. In this day where accountability and making things right feels in short supply, massive kudos to the owner and team for empowering the staff to do the right thing without making the customer jump over walls of resistance. We finished the evening with the panna cotta and an off-menu pear crumble. Both were sublime and we may have embarrassed ourselves with our expressions of happiness as we enjoyed and savored each bite. It was our anniversary so the chef prepared the crumble for us as a surprise and it was on the house! In terms of the atmosphere and service, both were excellent. Our server was a professional. He was attentive to our needs and made us feel welcomed. When my wife stepped away and he was folding her napkin he dropped it on the floor. He immediately picked it up and discreetly put it away and returned with a freshly folded napkin carefully placed on the table. These are the types of actions that show me as a customer that Nuri pays attention to the details to ensure that people have an outstanding experience. The last thing I’ll mention is the dining room manager Kevin. He did a great job making sure everything was proceeding smoothly throughout the evening. He shared with us the story of how his grandfather gave him the watch he was wearing. We really appreciated his genuineness and sense of gratitude. We went to Nuri expecting great food. We left feeling very satiated on that front. But more importantly, we felt restored and hopeful with the knowledge that there are still businesses that deliver their product with a sense of purpose and humanity instead of callousness and indifference. Thank you!

Queue in award winning music please! This is by far the most phenomenal restaurant I've dined in so far in Dallas! The moment you walk in you are greeting with warm welcomes by the beautiful hostess. The bar area is sexy, dim & the bartender Kyle adds a touch of masculinity to the vibe. He definitely knows his way around the bar adding great recommendations! Now on with the food & service! I was lucky enough to be seated with the witty Austin. He was the director of the foodie love story here. Lol. Everything he suggested was beyond flavorful and mouthwatering. Yummy. The Truffle Wagu Dumplings were a great opening scene and they had me building up anticipation for what's to come next! Japanese Miso Seabass made it's debut and didn't fall short at all. It was tender, juicy & seductive! The costars were the lobster k-mac & maque choux corn. They deserve their spotlight because babyyy the way they performed serving cajun flavors should be given a standing ovation. With the movie coming to a close, I was introduced to the Lemon Cheesecake Mont Blanc. When I say there is no better ending, I mean that. Beautiful and delicious! The credit goes to the whole team from owner, chef, interior designer and management for hiring the best. I can't wait to return for Jazz on the wknd! So book your resy NOOOOW! It's Showtime This restaurant is #BarbieApproved

Oh man Nuri is expensive... good but EXPENSIVE! The 36oz Tomahawk was $300! It was delicious but that's one pricey steak! FYI, don't get the extra sauce pairing, that's just a waste. The appetizers were also good. I especially liked the octopus dish. The dessert was ok but the presentation was very cool. They rolled out this cart where they squeezed out the chocolate onto the pastry in front of you. The environment of the restaurant screams high-end and special occasion. Another thing I like about Nuri is they try to mix in Korean flavors so it's kinda like a "fusion" steakhouse?

Disappointing-- Only the Jazz Was Worthwhile Came to Nuri Steakhouse on live jazz night -- and honestly, the music was the only highlight of the evening. We started off hopeful: * The dumplings were decent (3.5/5). * The yellowtail sashimi was excellent (5/5). * The gumbo was surprisingly fantastic -- full of flavor (5/5 for both bowls). But then it all went downhill. We ordered the Wagyu filet, expecting it to be the star of the night. What we got was a top-tier cut of meat with absolutely no flavor. No seasoning, mid sear, just a bland, uninspired piece of beef. For a place that calls itself a steakhouse, this was a major letdown. I've had more flavorful steaks at chain restaurants. 1/5. As for the sides -- we tried the brussels sprouts and mushrooms. Both were forgettable and felt like an afterthought. Just bland, mushy, and underseasoned. Another 1/5. We left disappointed and won't be back. It's a shame, because the live jazz set a great tone. But if you're going to call yourself a steakhouse, the steak should at least be edible.

We dined at Nuri Steakhouse in Dallas last night to celebrate a belated Mother's Day, and unfortunately, it was a major letdown, especially for a restaurant ranked among the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants. Having enjoyed their sister restaurant several times, we came in with high expectations, but left disappointed. To start, even the water was underwhelming. It was served neither chilled nor with ice, and it tasted like it had been sitting out too long. I had planned to break a 30-day fast from alcohol with a celebratory cocktail, but that excitement quickly faded. The truffle wagyu dumplings arrived lukewarm at best. The wrapper was soggy, undercooked, and had a floury texture. I asked the food runner if they were fully cooked, and he assured me they were--but the texture said otherwise. The yellowtail crudo was completely overpowered by a thick piece of shiso, which wrapped around a very thin slice of yellowtail. I enjoy shiso with sashimi, but the ratio here threw the dish off balance. The filets and ribeye were a highlight. They were cooked well. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal did not follow suit. The prawn pad Thai had a powdery feel. The dish was bland and lacked any depth of flavor. Even the prawns couldn't save it. The lobster K-mac was watery and barely had any lobster. It should never have left the kitchen. The mashed potatoes were fine, but again, served not to temperature. We won't talk about the cheesecake. To top it off, our server was not particularly warm or knowledgeable about the menu, which only added to our disappointment. While he was able to talk about the specials, anything beyond that seemed inconsistent. He also spilled some water on my son-in-law and did not even notice it, which could explain why he also had an empty glass of water for over 40 minutes. For a restaurant of this caliber, we expected a more polished and attentive level of service. Also, given the hype and the price point, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect the food to be served at the proper temperature. Sadly, this experience fell short of the restaurant's reputation, and our family of six will not be returning.

Came here for dinner with a friend and we had a great dining experience with excellent customer service! The restaurant offers valet (tips) and a nice bar/lounge to wait for your table or simply enjoy. We were seated immediately and received outstanding service from our waiter (I believe his name was Juan). We ordered appetizers for the table - broiled oysters rockefeller, ora king salmon crudo, and beet and arugula salad. The oysters were delicious and thoroughly cleaned (no grit whatsoever)! The crudo boasted amazing flavors of citrus and the salmon was fresh! I'm not a huge fan of beets but did enjoy this refreshing salad. For drinks, I ordered the Yo, Ichigo made with the house rum (instead of tequila) and later glass of wine - pinot gris. I did enjoy these and they went well with our food. For the main, I ordered the ora king salmon (medium) and kimchi fried rice (for the table). The salmon was perfectly cooked and had the most amazing crispy skin! My only complaint was the spice level of the kimchi fried rice. The flavors were there but I couldn't eat the dish without drinking water after the bites I took (I love eating Korean food but wasn't expecting that spice level at a restaurant without having to ask for it). We did order the soy butter rice and wild mushrooms instead and enjoyed it. We ended with a dessert - hummingbird cake - and both enjoyed it. It's a big enough slice to share and have some leftover! Overall, I enjoyed myself and will definitely return to try other dishes!

Everything we've had at Nuri has been absolutely delicious. We have been here twice and have had wonderful meals each time. We've had Ed as our server twice and both times he's made our experience even more wonderful. He provides quick service and was so thoughtful with making sure our anniversary dinner celebration was memorable! Not to mention the dining room and bar are beautiful and elegant. This is a wonderful place for dinner to celebrate a special occasion, not only for an amazing meal, but the staff and ambiance make the experience even better.

The romantic lighting and comfortable booth set the birthday vibes off Our server Eric was so kind and made our experience comfortable and fun. And Shay from the front of house staff helped me surprise my partner with a super fun dessert at the end of the meal! We especially enjoyed the octopus and the chirashi. We'll be back for sure! Big thank you to Eric and Shay for making our experience special!!

The food was incredible, I've never said "let's come back here" so quickly at a restaurant before. With Dallas restaurants it can be hit or miss between really nice ambiance and being "instagram" worthy vs great food but Nuri hits the mark for on both. Once we got to our table the staff was attentive, and the service was good. We waited over an hour after our reservation time to be seated, and a lot of other patrons did too. It seemed like they were overbooked last night. The Wagyu Dumplings, Oyster Rockefeller, Crabcakes, and Octopus were my favorite appetizers we got. With the octopus and Wagyu dumplings being the group favorites. For cocktails the Zen Garden, Yo Ichigo were the group favorite but the Mai Mai was the most unique! Overall, this was an incredible dining experience and I can't wait to come back.

Quite an elegant and extravagant dining experience. Ideal ambiance and service for date night, came here for my birthday celebration and intimate dinner with my lovely partner. Some tips: Keep the Truffle Sauce from the dumplings for the brioche bread, such a good pairing. Use the ponzu covered sliced onions from the salmon crudo with a bite of the truffle dumplings, the sourness cuts the savory dumpling so well. The 16oz Ribeye classic was amazing and cooked at exactly the right temperature which is a green flag for a steakhouse, although I did expect more flavor to be brought out from it Our waiter Marlon was absolutely superb. Thank you for the dessert as well. The attention to detail and customer follow up satisfaction also impressed me. Not to mention their own signature tea they give you with your togo items. The tea in itself was amazing. All in all, i would say a STRONG 3.5/5

A special evening to celebrate my love's birthday we chose the much talked about, Nuri Steakhouse. Reservations are a must or you will not get a seat, even the bar was full of those waiting for their tables. We made a rez for the "event" space a.k.a. the covered patio. Being that it was December and in the low 30s we were skeptical but the thick plastic draped walls and roof heaters made it very cozy inside. But the winner was the live jazz music - it was stellar! We started with cocktails. The Yo, Ichigo! for me and the Nuri Old Fashioned for my hubby. The presentation for both were very unique and they tasted incredible! The Asian Wagyu Spring Rolls were our starter and they were surprisingly wonderful. While appearing simple, the flavors were delectable and left us definitely wanting more. Our eyes were clearly bigger than our stomachs when we ordered our entrees and accompaniments. + Ora King Salmon - I've had my fair share of salmon and this stood amongst the best. I ate the entire dish with a spoon it was so tender and tasty. I didn't expect the celery root puree to have much taste, but it really was yummy. And the portion was filling. + 8oz filet from the TX Akaushi Heartbrand Reserve Menu - cooked perfectly and the taste - wow! I am not a steak person. Yes, I enjoy it, but don't find it particularly special. The bite I tried of my hubby's filet was the best I've tasted in a long, long time. + Kimchi Fried Rice - yes! This yummy dish reminded me of our favorite Spicy Double Egg Fried Rice from The Henry. The spice and flavors were so well balanced. I definitely recommend! + Unagi Brussel Sprouts - good, but nothing really special + Maque Choux Corn Cheese (for him) - my hubby loved it. I didn't indulge as I am dairy free, but he shared the leftovers with our son the next day and he loved it too. To close our our evening we sipped our dessert: + Espresso Martini for me - yes! It was sooo yummy. I enjoyed sipping while sitting cozily with my hubby and listening to the live jazz music. + sipping Port for him - smooth and tasty What a special evening we had at Nuri and would highly recommend dining here. The service from the valet, to the front desk and those filling our water were all so kind and helpful.

Let me start by saying everything outside of the steak was good. The steak was severely ubdercookedand full of fat. I still can't believe how much I paid for this meal. The beverages and appetizers were good. The dumplings are fantastic. The sauce is great. The crab cake was top notch. It is overpriced though for what you get. The bartender and water were quite rude. The steak was a 1/10. I'd give the restaurant a lower review but everything was good minus the steak. It is a steak house afterall. I won't go back. There's to many better options.

This restaurant is truly incredible! I went with a group of friends, and we had an amazing time. The parking is valet, which is convenient, and there are plenty of great spots for taking photos and videos. The staff was respectful and very accommodating, making us feel welcome from start to finish. This is definitely a place where you'll want to dress nicely, as the ambiance is stunning! While the restaurant is on the pricey side, the food is absolutely worth it. We started with cocktails, but honestly, they weren't great. Fortunately, the staff was happy to take them back and make sure we got drinks we loved. They have an impressive wine selection, so we ended up ordering wine instead, which I highly recommend--it's fantastic! The food was the highlight of the night. We tried several appetizers, and you must order the wagyu dumplings--they were so good I could have eaten three orders! The ribeye steak was amazing, and the shrimp pasta is also a must-try. The sides were generally good, though I wouldn't recommend the cheese fried rice; it had a strange flavor that didn't quite work. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I will definitely be back!

My wife and I visited Nuri for my birthday and had a great experience. However, it was not perfect, and I wish I could give it a 4.5 out of 5 instead of 5. First and foremost, the interior of the restaurant is beautiful. The midcentury vibe and dark lighting really set the mood. It feels romantic and luxurious. On ambiance alone, Nuri is exceptional. The patio, however, does leave something to be desired given all the construction happening nearby. I recommend sitting inside until that is complete. The service was also terrific. Despite various opportunities for the staff to make a mistake or be less than great, they were responded perfectly every time. First, we asked to be seated inside after initially reserving a patio seat for jazz. They didn't bat an eye and gave us a very nice table. Towards the end of dinner, my wife asked if we could take some of their incredibly delicious bread home. It would have been more than reasonable to say "no, sorry." Instead, our server said "maybe" and delivered. This was consistent with her performance throughout the meal. Finally, when we informed the staff that a soup was bad, it was comped. Which segues into the food. It was often great, sometimes just "good," with one dish being bad. The aforementioned soup was one of the 2 soups they offer. The Korean soup was amazing. Literally one of the best soups I've had. The New Orleans style one was bad. I think someone made a mistake in the kitchen rather the recipe itself being bad, which is why we told them and why it was comped. My lamb rack was good for the most part but tasted off on a couple of bites. We also had the octopus and the Emperor's Palate, which were above average in quality. Nuri is a great new concept and was very impressive in a lot of ways. The wine list is gigantic, the decor wows, and the service 5/5. But I get the impression there's some confusion in the kitchen. They're relatively new and may be working some things out. I plan on going back regardless. You should check it out too.

Went here with my family to celebrate. The staff was wonderful and the service was great. Our server was Jasmine (could have been Jazlyn). We had attention from the sommelier and discovered two new wines. I had the Nuri tasting board that was a sampler of four of their steaks. So so good. I also had the grilled okra. Again, really good. We had creamy mussels, crab cakes, Yukon potatoes and their incredible rolls. All was so good. The only thing I noticed was that they didn't have high chairs - my 14 month old grandson joined the celebration. I don't ding them for it. Children may not be Nuri's ideal customer. I just made note and share in case someone wants to bring a little person. Very nice steakhouse. Will be back.

Nuri Steakhouse is an upscale steakhouse with Korean influences located in the heart of Dallas. The restaurant is absolutely stunning and is one of the beautiful places I've eaten at. Combined with exemplary service, it ended up being a dining experience I'll remember for a long time. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Nuri Steakhouse is located in Uptown Dallas. Inside was one of the most opulent restaurants I've ever been to. The bar and dining area were separated by an open wall as my eyes were drawn to the immaculate light fixtures above. Plenty of pretty Dallasites dine here, blending into the Asian\New Orleans themed restaurant perfectly. This is a place to visit to enjoy food and drinks, atmosphere, and people watch. 1 Star. Service - The Executive Chef is from a Michelin Star restaurant in Korea, and I've seen all 3 seasons of The Bear to know how much attention the front of the house pays to its guests. It's not good service, it's a great experience. Our servers were experts on the menu, remembered our names, and were efficient in preparing our table settings between courses. 1 Star. Food - Imagine Korean and Texas Southern Hospitality had a love child conceived in New Orleans - that's the menu at Nuri Steakhouse. The dishes are creative and delicious. My dinner began with Wagyu Dumplings. The succulent dumplings were filled with a mixture of Texas Wagyu, pork, & truffle, and waded in a creamy herb sauce. The mixture was so tender and mild, and with a small dip in the herb sauce the bite melts in your mouth. For the main, I chose the Nuri Tasting Board. This was the star of the evening, served in a beautiful box with samples of Australian and Texas Wagyu, Korean marinated short rib, Korean kim chi, and assorted dipping sauce. The steak was tender and succulent, and the Nuri Tasting Board is a perfect item to share if you want a good sense of Nuri's flavors. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. This is a true steakhouse, while I only tried the Nuri Tasting Board, Nuri offers American, Australian, and Japanese Wagyu by the oz. There are also traditional steaks too. It's not cheap, but it shouldn't be. Nuri is an epic dining experience, and I will be back. 1 Star.

I truly cannot comprehend some of the reviews with negative feedback for this INCREDIBLE restaurant. We have dined here a handful of times since their opening and have been absolutely blown away each time. When it comes time for a fun night out.. Nuri has been our go to! The food is the real star here and has been consistently AMAZING. The flavors are unique, fresh, and absolutely delicious in all of their dishes we have tried. Our favorites are the Jumbo Prawns, Wagyu Dumplings, Salmon Crudo, and Brussels Sprouts! The Jumbo Prawns and Wagyu Dumplings come in the most decadent truffle sauce.. Seriously incredible. The Salmon Crudo is another flavor explosion with the freshest cut of fish, sweetness from the oranges, tang from onions, and rounded out so nicely with the ponzu sauce. The Brussels Sprouts are the best we've had anywhere, I even tried recreating at home and failed miserably.. I'll leave it to the pros! We've enjoyed a few cocktails in their beautiful bar/lounge while waiting for our tables and the bartenders are so KIND. They are so friendly and the drinks are impeccable for the price point. Beautifully crafted and great presentation. Make no mistake, there was some serious money put into this place as it is Dallas' most architecturally expensive restaurant. And it shows!! It is STUNNING. Not a stuffy steakhouse feel, just beautiful elements throughout and dripping with luxury. Even the chopsticks are incredible! All of the servers we've had have been so wonderful and knowledgeable. The staff goes out of their way to make this an EXPERIENCE for their customers. The girls at the front are so sweet as well. If you're looking for an incredible dining experience from start to finish.. Go to Nuri!

My overall impression of Nuri is 3.5 stars. Nuri is a beautiful restaurant (steakhouse/Japanese fusion). The ambiance is lovely and the service received was top notch. The Jade Terrace is "outdoor" seating if they raise the partitions on a nice day - and it's away from the hustle and bustle of the interior dining area, if you'd like something a little more intimate. There's an extensive wine selection as well as craft made cocktails. I opted for the "Hot For Peaches" cocktail, which was sweet & spicy and quite tasty! Their cocktails are pricey, though, at $21 each! The complimentary bread and miso butter is really good!! I ordered the wagyu dumplings for an appetizer and was pleased. Loved the truffle! A little too much sauce, but otherwise a really good app. I also had the chicken & andouille gumbo...this was decent, but too salty. I wouldn't order it again. Ordered the 10oz prime filet, medium-well, but it came out medium RARE. The server kindly took it back to be cooked to my liking. When it came back, it still wasn't cooked properly, but I didn't want to fuss about it so I left it alone. *The manager did come out and apologize for the steak and comped it, which was nice and not expected* Sides are a la carte and served family style, so each person in the group I was with ordered one side, and we shared. --Buttermilk mashed potatoes - these were good, nothing special. --Fried Brussels - not a pretty presentation, but very tasty! Would order again. --Maque Choux Corn Cheese - this was interesting, but good and a little spicy. Almost like a cheesy corn soup. --Spicy Rice Au Gratin - this is a HELL NO for me and the other 4 people at the table. It was also a no from my fiancé (whom I took the leftovers to). The texture was weird and the flavor was odd. --Broccolini w/ Szechuan sauce - nothing fancy, but it was tasty :) Dessert --Strawberry shortcake - pretty good, nothing mind blowing. Lovely plating. --Earl Grey Crème Brûlée - loved the flavor of this, again, not memorable enough for me to come back for more. All-in-all, I enjoyed Nuri, however I've definitely had better food at other upscale steakhouses, so I wouldn't really make it a point to return here any time soon. Btw, no penny pinching here, this is definitely upscale. My bill, alone, was $202, not including tip.

This restaurant is too expensive for it to be so hot inside. The food was excellent! The Korean gumbo was delicious although the American gumbo fell short. Our server Gideon was awesome as well. Only complaint.... Turn up the AC!!! Dined June 21, 2025

I'm always a bit skeptical of the new flashy uptown restaurants and was so pleasantly surprised. Many places focus on pretty decor while lacking for the service and food. This is where Nuri stood out. The service, starting with the hostesses is phenomenal. Our waiter on both visits are super attentive and knowledgeable. The food was flavorful while giving a unique twist on some classic favorites (def try the fried rice). While expensive, I felt that the food and experience matched the cost, which is often not the case. Will return for a third visit soon!

Great dining experience overall! Ambiance is super cool, modern, and although the place gets pretty packed, it still manages to feel intimate and can easily hold audible conversations with people at your table without needing to speak louder. Service was highly attentive! The servers brought out the wrong steak and our waiter immediately noticed and corrected the mistake. Really loved the wagyu dumpling starter, the Brussels sprouts, and the steaks were cooked expertly! Was hoping to be a bit more "wow-ed" for the price, but overall great spot!

We came here here for a friend's birthday last night and when I walked it in was impressed by the beautiful decor and ambience. It felt like a Manhattan restaurant very art deco vibes, even the restrooms were pretty. Our servers was very knowledgeable and kept our drinks orders flowing, but it did take a while food to come out the appetisers, entree and dessert we were there for almost 3 hours. The cocktails I tried were the vacationing monk a delicious tiki pineapple drink and Zen garden with gin, it was great and refreshing tasted like a gimlet. The table split appetisers we loved the wagyu dumplings the sauce is to die for, use the complimentary bread to dip in that. The crab cakes were spicy but great flavor, the octopus was cooked perfectly. For mains all but 1 of us had steaks. My husband got the 40 year aged ribeye he said it was a very fatty cut. I got the 16oz skirt steak which was great and we both got it cooked medium/rare it was closer to rare but the flavor was good. I also got the kimchi butter which was delicious. The sides we shared Brussels sprouts, fantastic, mushrooms were good, mashed potato like a puree but good flavor and lobster Mac and cheese amazing. Lastly it was our friends birthday so they gave him a complimentary dessert a lemon cheesecake which was delicious. They also added a little show by adding strawberry white chocolate ganache from a machine. Overall I enjoyed myself but the length of time and the steak just being "a steak" nothing to rave about is why I gave it my rating

I wish Yelp let us do have stars because then I'd be able to give a 4.5 rating. We came here to celebrate our anniversary and had an absolutely amazing experience. Every single staff member we came in contact with was so nice and friendly. From the hostess, to the wait staff, to management. Shout out to John who was our server. He was helpful with suggestions, and checked in on us in a way that still allowed us to enjoy an intimate dinner. The ambience is amazing and I loved that there was enough light to read the menu while still keeping the romantic/mood lighting that allows for an intimate experience. Almost everything we had was absolutely delicious. The bread is dusted with salt that gives it a little punch of flavor. We ordered the Flash Fired Spanish Octopus. The octopus was tender and the braised white radish was melt in your mouth! I would eat an entire bowl of just that and be happy. I'm still thinking about it. The Wagu Tartare Two Ways was delicious - we enjoyed the West rendition more than the East. The East has a hint of sweetness that was good, but the capers and anchovies of the West was perfection. The steak was cooked perfectly and absolutely tender, seasoned just right. The mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts were my favorite of the sides. The Lobster K Mac was good, but not my personal favorite. The only thing we ordered that we did not enjoy was the creme brulee. While the texture was good, it tasted too eggy. Almost like over cooked flan, which is not a good taste. It might have been a one off but we did not enjoy it. That being said, you could taste the subtle hint of Earl Grey tea that it was infused with. Highly recommend this place. It's a great steakhouse with an Asian flair that sets it apart from your other steakhouses that tend to all be the same on some level.

Ugh this was such a disappointing meal. We were seated in the lovely private room again, which was beautiful. The salad and service was excellent. But my steak was painfully overcooked (I ordered it medium rare) and we were in the middle of an event so I didn't feel comfortable sending it back in front of everyone and I ate this very overcooked steak instead. The mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts were good as usual thankfully. But ooof the earl Grey creme brulee is such a miss. So weirdly thick and custard-y and just wrong. And not all the sugar on top was burnt--I straight up had random granules of sugar in my creme brulee. Super disappointing dinner overall

I had high hopes for this place and in some respects expectations were met however, I did not think the steak was that good. The ambiance is really nice and lively. The bar made excellent espresso martinis. The vibe felt more upscale and loungey. The appetizers were all pretty solid. We ordered mushrooms, brussel sprouts, this delicious corn cheese dish, and a kimchi rice dish. The corn cheese dish was the best item we had. The bread they bring out is also delicious. A few of us split the NY strip and again it was okay, nothing remarkable. Overall, would go again, but probably try a different main dish.

What a beautiful restaurant!! I can see why the owner spent $20 mil. Akashi bone in NY strip was phenomenal. Best steak I had in DFW. I have been to all other high end steak houses but Nuri's steak was the best!!! All staff were very attentive and very professional. Highly recommend!!

We went here for my husband's birthday last night and all we have to say is WOW. The restaurant is absolutely stunning! Our waiter, I wish we remembered his name was so great. He walked us through the menu and started off with his suggested drinks; they were so good. The food was the star of the show. Starting off strong with the dumplings. Honestly the dumplings have to be in the top 10 best things I've ever eaten. The gumbo soups were incredible. (Save the bread and dip in the soups and dumpling sauce). Our entree was ribeye steak which was so delicious, the kimchi rice and the mushrooms. I would give this restaurant 9.4/10 and I don't give out 9s ever!!! A must try place, we can't wait to go back!

It's a somewhat upscale place, the atmosphere is nice, I like this place because the majority of people were there to celebrate special occasions so the atmosphere is very warm. Service is excellent and VERY attentive. Food is good with nice presentation, drinks are okay, based on the introduction the waiter gave us they do have crafted cocktails but I think I chose the one that I did not like so I just ordered my usual go to drink, however they do have a big variety of spirits and wine.

This is our second time at Nuri & our second time having Eli as our server. Both experiences were fabulous. Great steaks & fabulous cocktails. Extensive champagne & wine list!!! The sides are huge & so delicious. You get a lot of good food plenty to share. The service was amazing both times as well. It is our new favorite steak house. They have live music on some nights as well do check that out too! It is one of the prettiest places I've eaten in a while. You will love the decor! We also had drinks before in the bar & everyone was so attentive! Lovely service.

The good: The ambiance and style of the restaurant is very chic. The crowd was a mixed bag but we came to an early sitting. The servers were initially attentive but 2nd drinks took a while both to order and receive. The not so good: Sommelier was nice but didn't quite seem that knowledgeable The food was hit and miss. My steak was very good. My wife did not like her wagyu. The hot rock ran out of heat mid cooking. They asked if we want another rock. No. We wanted a rock sufficiently hot for a single 1 minute cook session Appetizers were all great though. Dessert: the cheesecake was a nice show with the chocolate pour on top table side but the cake itself wasn't very tasty. The strawberry shortcake was excellent though. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves and I want to like this place but it has some work before it earns its place as a premier steak place. We'll try it again at a later date.

Don't be fooled by the hype of this shiny, overly designed gem of steakhouse, it's a rhinestone. The booming voice of our boisterous server set the tone for a rough night. With every chance to upsell the menu, it was clear she seemed more interested in making a buck than providing good service. Her inattentiveness and slow pacing of the meal became arduous throughout the night. Our martinis arrived in a one-ounce cordial glass, the slap across the face came later with the bill of $22 buck for Grey Goose Vodka as opposed to the $17 dollar Chopin we asked for. You can buy an entire bottle at that price. One of the two appetizers we started with made the cut. While the pricey crabcake tasted fine the octopus was cold, chewy and repulsively inedible. The dish included the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted at a restaurant, a cold brussels sprout that was charred on the outside and yet somehow nearly raw. After sending the octopus away, we were offered and charged for a second $30 crabcake. A ninety-five-dollar 22-ounce steak arrived next, if indeed it was 22 ounces, it looked more like 16 at best. Half fat, half chewy meat, the eight-dollar kimchi butter didn't help matters. I thought the point of the bland butter was to spice the dish up which it did not. The theme of chewy, cold and bland continued with the side of wild mushrooms. Likened to strips of softened leather, any animal foraging in the woods would take a pass on this bowl of nastiness. For dessert, twenty dollars' worth of whipped cream, a few sliced strawberries and a whiff of sponge cake coated my mouth in an unpleasant way. Two bites into a bourbon pecan pie composed of a dry pile of toasted nuts in a tough shell ended this sad meal. As these two dishes were touted as the server's favorites, clearly, she has no taste. Expect to wait well beyond a set reservation time and a bill that will make you cry.

Nuri is one of the latest and most exciting restaurants to open in the Dallas area. Boasting elegance and an eye-watering build cost, Nuri had a lot fo prove even before it opened its doors. Having dines there this pas Sunday, I can say with certainty that it was worth it in every aspect. To start, let's discuss the ambiance. The substantial price tag is immediately evident in the elegant inteiror decor, which makes you feel like you've stepped into a different world. The attention to detail is meticulous, from the inlays on the dining tables to the designer cutlery. What I particularly appreciated was that while it was elegant, it was not ostentatious; instead, it was very comfortable. I'm thoroughly impressed with their decor choices and the layout of the restaurant. It was also intimate and cozy- perfect for a date night. The service was no exception when it came to the level of detail and care. The staff was attentive and caring but not overbearing. Throughout our meal, they consistently checked to ensure our glasses were filled and that we were satisfied with our food.One aspect that stoof out to me was that the waitstaff was not pushy or focused on upselling. It's a common issue with new concept restaurants, and it's a significant turnoff, but at Nuri, I never once felt pressured to order something I wasn't comfortable with. It was also impressive to witness the attention to detail during a table turnover, with staff carefully checking the cutlery and wine glasses to ensure the setting was perfect. Small details like this matter to me, and it's rare to fine such meticulousness outside of a Michelin-starred restaurant. Finally, the most important part-the food. We were greeted with delicious rolls and sweet butter, the perfect starter. We opted for an array of appetizers from both their hot and cold menus: the wagyu dumplings, Korean pork belly, and the East steak tartare. The wagyu dumplings were savory and delicious, especially with the herb cream sauce. the pork belly had a ncie crunch on the outside and was soft in the middle. I particularly appreciated the bed of spinach and sweet soy accouterment. The East steak tartare was unique, with a sweetness flavor that may not suit everyone's palate, but it was a welcome deviation from the ordinary. The option to choose between East or West preparation styles is a thoughtful touch. For our main dishes, we selected the 8oz Asakshi steak with Ora King Salmon. The steak was probably one of the best I've had in a long time. It was incredibly tender and almost melted in your mouth. The seasoning and grilled shishito peppers were a very nice touch. The Ora king Salmon was also cooked to perfection, with crispy skin and well-rounded flavor. We also ordered the Yukon Gold buttermilk mashed potatoes. Typically, I'm critical of mashed potatoes at restaurants, but these were prepared excellently. They were flavorful without being overwhelming or detracting from the other dishes; rather, they were complimentary. For dessert, we chose the cheesecake, which featured a table-side press of chocolate ganache on top. The presentation was fascinating, as they used a machine imported from Korea to press the chocolate ganache. The cheesecake was delicious and now ranks as one of my top favorites. In sum, Nuri had high expectations prior to our arrival, and I can say with certainty that it did not disappoint. I applaud both the waitstaff and management for their professionalism and service excellence.

Pros: The welcome experience was good, valet & hostess staff were hospitable. Once sat, our server was pleasant. Ambience was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Food: Mash potatoes & sauteed mushroom sides were tasty. Cons: We ordered espresso martinis that took forever to come out only for them to taste like burnt coffee water. We couldn't stomach them. Server said she tasted one of the ones she took back and agreed (odd but okay.) Wagyu dumplings & lobster bisque came out warm/cold and the lamb chops were burnt and chewy with EXCESSIVE chives on them almost to mask the burntness. We made due as we didn't want to return the drinks AND food. Honestly there are better options at this price-point with better food quality.

I didn't realize this was the same restaurant as the former Nuri Grill on Royal Ln in 2022 - but now it's a major upgrade! The ~$20M restaurant surely shows its taste in opulence, style and luxury - it was a sight to see! I had hoped the food quality would match the interior quality, but unfortunately the popular Nuri tasting board I ordered was lukewarm in temperature, the tuna tartar was average in taste, and the strawberry shortcake was the only dish I tried that blew me away. Not pictured are the brussels sprouts slathered in eel sauce and the mashed potatoes which were also just OK. The most memorable thing about my experience was the 5 star service from the staff. They were very friendly, accommodating and genuinely kind to wish me a happy birthday. The restaurant may still be working out menu kinks since they just opened, so I would possibly try them out again in the future.

Wife and I went last night for a date night. Decor and service were absolutely exceptional! Gives strong Great Gatsby vibes with a modern feel. Staff was courteous, knowledgeable, timely, and observant - always returning to the table just as we had a need. Cocktails were good though at least 2 of the cocktails on the menu were unavailable because they did not have all the ingredients. Now the main reason for the 3 stars... the food. We ordered: Salmon crudo, Caesar salad, 40+ day aged new york strip, mushrooms, and brussel sprouts. The Caesar salad had a beautiful presentation, lettuce was crisp, and I appreciated the traditional homage with filets of white anchovy. Mushrooms and brussels were delicious - definitely recommend as outstanding sides. The salmon crud.... beautiful presentation and I wanted to love it but it was fishy. All the accoutrements were excellent, from the foam to the pickled shallots, but the king salmon itself had a strong fishy taste. The new york strip was cooked beautifully to medium rare but this cut was very chewy and under salted. We did communicate our issues to our server, Jonathan, who promptly brought the manager to our table. The manager offered to swap the new york strip for the ribeye, which was much juicer and more tender but still under salted. Ultimately, I expected a much better quality from the proteins but they fell short but our server and the manager were wonderfully receptive of our feedback and did their best to take care of us. For that, top marks on service.

Had a great time last night at Nuri. The Interior is beautiful without feeling stuffy and the atmosphere felt very relaxed. Our server Austin was amazing and made several suggestions and they were all spot on. We started with the pork belly appetizer - this was okay but not sure I would order it if you plan on getting a steak with a lot of marbling as your entree. The steak tartare was fantastic - they give you an east and west version and I must say the east was out of this world good with a slight sweetness that worked really well. The Wagyu dumplings were also good but again a very heavy appetizer so plan to share :) For my main entree, I chose a dry aged ribeye (40 days) and it was perfect in all ways possible - great cut and cooked as asked medium rare. For sides, the mashed potatoes were incredible. Drinks were made great as well, the freezer martini and suntory fashioned were very well made and paired nicely with the meal. Great Job team Nuri!

I was excited to try Nuri! Me and 2 girlfriends were able to snag a 8:45 reservation on a Friday night. The restaurant was gorgeous. Pictures don't do it justice. The hostesses were also friendly and energetic. Now the food was phenomenal and I will get to that later. The service after check-in was not so great. We waited in the cocktail bar until our take was ready. The cocktail waitress wanted to know if we wanted a drink while we waited, when we told her no, she rolled her eyes and walked off. It was an awkward experience but we brushed it off. Our server was extremely slow the entire night. There was no friendly introduction or highlights of the menu. It was the weirdest experience ever. It was like we were being rushed but his service was slow. There was such a wait between apps and dinner that we were all ready to go. We additionally had to wait 15 min when we asked for the checks. Because we were all tired we got dessert to go, but when he brought our checks and said bye he forgot the dessert. For apps we had the oysters, mussels, waygu dumplings, and gumbo. I would get everything again except the mussels, the broth's flavor didn't penetrate the mussels. The gumbo and dumplings were the stars. For dinner we shared the jumbo prawns, ribeye, and lamb chops. Sides were creamed kale, Brussels, and corn. All good. The only suggestion i had for the entrees is the prawns were so large it was hard to remove them from the heads. We didn't get the show stopper dessert but I had banana foster cake for $20. Skip that. I will return because the food is good and hopefully I get better service

This was my second time experiencing Nuri. I am calling it an experience because it wasn't JUST dining. Everything from the architecture/layout of the restaurant, the lighting, the ambiance, the flooring to the way they lay out your table setting is thought out and pure elegance. The first time my friends and I came for a Galentine's dining night; and I wish I could remember the waiter's name because he was phenomenal. He was a tall, handsome, bald man who knew the menu front to back and gave EXCELLENT recommendations. Our last waiter, Daniel, was also a ball of sunshine and so enthusiastic about the menu. This second time we sat in the jade terrace to experience the jazz ensemble, which was soft jazz and it was so lively and lovely. I felt like I was transported away from Dallas and placed in downtown New York. Now, the FOOD! There has not been one bad bite. I was able to try the steak tartare, taste of two gumbos, the wagyu truffle dumplings, burrata, shrimp croquette, ora salmon, scallops, miso sea bass, lamb rack, steak, wild mirin mushrooms, AND the brussel sprouts with eel sauce. I cannot emphasize enough how much I loved the food. I am a sucker for Asian influence or a blend of cuisines and Nuri/their chef does just that! Korean and cajun influences are something I never thought I'd have - and I think my favorite bite is the kimchi gumbo, the scallops, and the brussel sprouts. The only thing I haven't dived into is the dessert menu - by the time my friends and I get to it, it just has so many decadent options. I hope for the Nuri crew to explore some lighter/fruity options maybe like a tart, a sorbet, or some citrusy options. I will be coming again and again. I also appreciated the beautiful touch of leaving with a tea bag, because it was like a cup of coziness. THANK YOU NURI!!

A gorgeous atmosphere, but the service is extremely subpar. I recommend only coming for the bar service, not the restaurant experience. The bar service was exceptional, Brenden was extremely personable and attentive. Unfortunately I really wanted to like this place, I had such high hopes. I made a reservation weeks ahead of time but was not sat until an hour and 15 minutes until after my reservation time. I came for a birthday celebration, I saw they did fun celebrations from social media--but it is apparently for promotion as nothing was done for us. I'd give the food a 7/10. It was not worth the wait nor the terrible service given at the host stand or overall by management.

I'm conflicted. on the surface everything about this place looks like a home run; BEAUTIFUL gatsby-esque interior with just the right amount of mood lighting, thoughtfully designed lighting and curved archways and aesthetic booths with fresh flowers throughout, and a full bar, friendly service and a unique menu with something for everyone. online reservations were super easy to make, valet right at front is available as well as self-parking in the garage underneath (they also validate, which is great bc its like $15 otherwise lol) and we were greeted and seated immediately. it is my understanding the owner of this place splurged magnificently in building out this restaurant (and you can really tell, it's honestly stunning from the front doorway all the way into the bathroom). however, with the price of the food, the flavors just fall flat. everything was plated and served beautifully with garnishes, dry ice, and steaks grilled right in front of you. so you can imagine everything looking and feeling perfect is hyping up the food you're about to eat, and it was a big let down for me. here's what we ordered: Bread appetizer with miso butter (3/5): bread was suuuper soft but there was no miso in that butter lol. gave us 3 rolls for two people so....beware of filling up too early lol. 1) smoke bomb drink 4/5: cute glass with dry ice for effect but small portion, waiter came over to pour it out of a cute vessel for us but unfortunately forgot to hold the lid while pouring and ended up dropping the top of the vessel and nearly knocking over the drink into my husband's lap. waiter apologized profusely and tbh it's fine. the service is very kind. 2) flash fried octopus appetizer 4/5: i actually was very surprised by this dish. the one thing i really hated though was that it was breaded in a rice flour exterior, and unless you eat EVERYTHING the moment it's served, the breading congeals into a gummy gooey texture around the octopus, which was REALLY not my jam. what i loved about this dish was that it came with shishito peppers, radish bites, brussels sprouts and with two different flavors. much larger of a portion than what i was expecting, so that was a nice surprise. 3) korean gumbo 5/5: this reminds me of a shin ramen packet mixed with rice and some bits of ham in it. the name of the dish really intrigued me and i'm happy it didn't disappoint. it came out the same time as our entrees though, so if you'd rather have it before your mains please specify. 4) japanese wagyu 3oz 1/5: THIS was the MAJOR disappointment of the evening. it was $120 for a few slices of this wagyu, and at this price point it should be cooked to perfection. i'm sure the servers are all trained to cook the steaks properly, but i was this close to sending it back. it comes out in a beautiful dish just oozing liquid nitrogen out and cooked in front of you on an ornate stone block. we asked for medium rare, and....it was medium rare i guess....but the meats were flipped way too early and it was just...cooked. barely not raw. tasted like a wet soggy sock in my mouth with alot of fat. ideally there are less pieces but the pieces are thick enough to where it can hold a crispy sear on the outside while still maintaining the medium rare on the inside. if you are a texture person you would've spat this right out. i could tell it was a good cut of meat, but there's no way to be like "hey can you put this back on the rock and cook it longer". 5) Akaushi Filet 8oz 3.5/5: this was a massively thick chunk of filet, and it was indeed cooked medium rare as requested. however, it was WAY too salty for me. i understand they oversalt to bring flavor to the center, esp since the steak was so thick, but it really discouraged me from eating the rest of the steak. after eating this steak it even made my gumbo taste so salty that we had to take it to go. 6) sauteed mushroom side 3/5: just fine. a nice large portion and comes with all sorts of mushroom including oyster and king oyster mushrooms. nothing to write home about but a good amount to feed 3-4 people as a side. we took this home as well. i know i've just sounded like a big complainer this whole time, but the contrast of the perfect ambiance compared to the meh food ending with the bill at the end was kind of a "sigh, too good to be true" moments. however this wouldn't dissuade me from coming back again, I would just be more specific about how dishes are prepared now that i know how they come. i believe my complaints can be fixed by simple adjustments that could take this experience to a five star evening.

My husband made reservations for 9pm. We arrived 15 minutes early (like they ask guests to). Valet was very welcoming. I was super excited to try out nuri. This was an extremely special night for us since we don't ever get a date night. We drove an hour to a sitter & 30 mins to nuri. We waited AN HOUR to be seated. My husband asked the host twice about the wait. Nobody checked up on us or nothing. I was in tears by then & so we just left. Valet was so so so so sweet they saw that I was visibly upset & they were concerned so they grabbed management. We appreciate that they tried to make it right however we are left with a permanent horrible experience here & probably will not be returning

Look this has a lot of buzz going for it right now, I get it. My wife and i went Thursday night and the atmosphere is amazing with lots of people watching to take in. We ordered the salmon credo and we had to search for the salmon. Had more tangerine than salmon not a fan. Wagu dumplings were very good and highly recommend. We had the filet which was good but nothing out of the ordinary. But the chocolate peanut butter cake. Very nice. I will say they had DuMol Pinot by the glass. Big fan of that wine.

Stunningly beautiful interior with a warm golden hue. Every direction you look the design seems special without trying. Feels modern by not using tablecloths. The food is amazing. Steak tartare (East and West), wagyu dumplings, jumbo prawns (4 oz. each!), Nuri tasting board (a feast of meats and tastes), and the candied corn. Every menu item we tried was delicious, and often unique. A great wine list with wine facts dropped in along the way. And most of the wines have less of a markup than you would typically find in a steak restaurant. But the hardest thing to achieve in a restaurant, especially a new one, is the spirit of hospitality that the entire staff exhibit. You can tell they know they are on a very special journey.
