"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
"Editor for Eater Texas Courtney E. Smith: "My favorite opening was [the restaurant]. It had drama, it had style, it had food that was so much more incredible than I imagined it would be. The marriage of Korean and Texan (with a little New Orleans) is deeply satisfying, in the way the two chefs there have executed it, and the experience feels decadent. Covering it was a lot of fun. Going there was even more fun. The decor is great, the service is top-notch, and all I want to know is what do I have to do to get them to give me the private dining room." - Courtney E. Smith
