Amazing experience. Beautiful place and food and service excellent. Can't wait to come back.

Nuri was a fantastic experience! The dining area is beautiful, lovely ambiance. The food was amazing! We enjoyed the octopus and ceviche appetizers. The steak bento box was so good! Husband enjoyed a steak, & mashed potatoes . The deconstructed strawberry short cake was delicious! read more

Absolutely 5 stars all around! Nuri lives up to the hype. There is nothing like it in Dallas! The interior is absolutely stunning. As a designer it took my breath away as soon as I walked in. Everyone who works there is so kind and professional. Even though it's an elegant environment it's very comfortable. Austin was our server and he was top notch. We enjoyed everything he recommended! Especially the snow aged wagyu. The presentation and portions were generous. Great flavor. The Korean, New Orleans, Texas fusion was so unique and well done. My husband loved the octopus. Service was attentive but not rushed. We will highly recommend to all our foodie friends. read more

Meh. Just because it's expensive does not equate to an excellent dining experience. For me, this is more of a typical over-hyped Dallas thing, a place to show that you can afford the luxury of being taken advantage of for just for the sake of saying so. The food isn't terrible but it's not worth the exhorbitante bill and of course, the obligatory tip. You might as well let the server join in on your dinner with you too as their tip practically exceeds having another guest with you at the table. It's a strange fusion of Korean and Cajun trying to pretend to be a fine dining steakhouse with a few standard dishes to satisfy their lofty claims. If the rumor of them spending 20 mil on the venue is true, then they are absolute fools because the venue itself is reminiscent of an outdated 70's mish-mash of restaurant design not exactly exuding fantastic awe. I find it hard to believe it's received high esteemed accolades or maybe they just paid for those too. Perhaps it's another bit of marketing hype to sell to the people to convince them that it is worth dining here into helping them pay back their investment. I have no reason to recommend or return to Nuri other than to say you went because you can. read more

The meal was amazing. The staff members were friendly and very knowledgeable regarding the menu.

Best new place in Dallas ever - request Austin every time. He will take the best care of you and tell you all the good good .10/10 will go again! read more

This place is super pretty but for the price of the food I have some complaints. The lobster Mac was very fishy.

Another amazing meal at Nuri! This place has an amazing warm vibe. The steaks were awesome and the flavors of the sides are wonderful.

Expensive and had a birthday reservation and we had to wait 35 minutes to be seated food service extra long they comped the meal but not our wine read more

First our server Chris was amazing. Couldn't have been more pleased with his service and recommendations. Came here for my birthday and the staff all acknowledged it. Beautiful atmosphere, the wine specialist was great. My favorite dishes I got were Korean Gumbo, better than the classic imo; the classic was good and just that, classic. But the Korean Gumbo was just that good. Steak and desserts were great but the star of the show was the Red Snapper. To die for. Thanks again Chris for that recommendation. Cannot wait to come back. read more

The food was amazing! Only complaint is the valet driver stole a cookie from our truck. We came to dinner after an event where branded cookies were the party favor. I had 4 sitting in the center console and there were 3 when we got into our truck after we finished dinner. read more

Beautiful restaurant, great service, and great food. Ordered the filet, a couple appetizers, a few sides, and dessert. The steak was cooked perfectly. The corn side is good, but beware it's very so spicy! The Brussels sprouts were really good as well. The only dish that was subpar was the strawberry shortcake dessert, it was essentially a plate of frosting with a tiny bite-size piece of cake. Would have preferred a little more cake and a lot less frosting. read more

I absolutely love Nuri Steakhouse! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a friendly and attentive host stand that immediately makes you feel right at home. That warm first impression really set the tone for the entire dining for my husband and I. We were celebrating our 10th Anniversary. The food is simply outstanding. Every dish is flavorful, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The steaks were cooked exactly the way we asked, tender and delicious flavor. We tasted the quality in every bite. The service was just as impressive. The staff is attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. They made sure our table had everything throughout the entire night but didn't make us feel rushed either. It's clear they care about creating a great experience for their guests. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and comfortable, making it a great spot for our anniversary. We felt so satisfied and are already looking forward to visiting again. 10/10 recommend!! read more

Bravo! Dallas are you ready for another amazing restaurant to be added to the Michelin star list? WELL! I present NURI STEAK HOUSE! Thoughtful attention to details shout when someone's heart is in a creation; that's what you'll experience at Nuri. Owner, Wan Kim spared no expense or passion creating this splendor. From the first salutation to the final au revoir, the ambiance of Nuri's psychic punk twist on Art Deco, AMAZES! The diversity of the audience is masterfully curated to include all backgrounds and budgets; thanks to a star lineup. The exquisitely honed menu of Executive Chef Javier Briones; crafts specialties from rare Japanese Snow Beef, and Hamachi Ceviche to a 40oz Porter House and Caviar service, while Master Sommelier Barbara Whorley, one of 4 female master sommeliers in the world and Texas' only, directs the more than 60 page wine list satisfying the budget conscious enthusiast, and sophisticated connoisseur simultaneously with a $28,000 Chateau Petrus, Bordeaux. No matter where you're perched in this sprawling fine dining experience, you'll be enchanted by the custom illuminations, layered textiles and skillful crafts of local and foreign Artisans. You won't be able to resist requesting a tour, which Managers such as Shawna Bradshaw beautifully execute with the skills of a seasoned Docent; omitting no details including $90,000 panel doors in the private karaoke salon or the charming members lounge and patio featuring live music on certain nights. My happy place is always occupying a reserved seat at the bar or lounge, where Bar Manager Mitch Hardee insures your evenings are always supreme. My favorites are Japanese whiskey and Wagyu Dumplings; however if you're a steak and beer person, that can happen too. I'm excited for you to experience Nuri. Say hello if you see me, I love that! Xoxo Lorenzo! read more

Austin was a superb server.....he was very attentive and he elevated our experience. We were celebrating a birthday; our friend got a hummingbird cake for her bday and she shared it with us. Then, after our meal he gave us a grand tour of the beautiful restaurant with the perfect lighting. We have to go back to try some of the other delicious dishes because that's the best sea bass I've ever had! And, we must sit in Austin's section. read more

Patrick was absolutely amazing! Spectacular service, super informative and personable. Definitely will ask again for him! William did a great job as well and was very helpful and considerate. read more

We went here to celebrate our 52 wedding anniversary. The entire team from bar tenders to hostesses to server and waiters were all fantastic and friendly and congratulated us. Complimentary champagne. Was so thoughtful. The food was excellent with the lamb and ny strip cooked perfectly medium rare with great seasoning. Great place for a special night where you want to be able to converse without yelling! read more

AMAZING experience here. Food was great and service was exceptional. We had Jerome who as absolutely wonderful. A very high scale but unpretentious place. Super special. read more

Overall I think this is a very elegant restaurant with some room for improvement. The food is high quality and very tasteful. The drinks are a bit overpriced. The ambience is very nice, and our main server Patrick was great. The ladies at the front were also very kind and respectful. The biggest downsides are the wait. Despite reservations we still waited 35 minutes to be seated. Once we ordered the appetizers took about 20 minutes and they came out in two different time periods. The entree took 45 minutes to come out. A lot of the negative reviews highlight this, so I hope this becomes a point of emphasis when improving. Overall though I would recommend and will be back to try more options. read more

Nuri is a sexy vibe all the way around. It was still new when I visited so the customer service was impeccable, starting with the valet service. My husband enjoyed a Zen Garden cocktail that was made with celery infused Chinese gin. It was small but tasty. We tried four appetizers including the East/West steak tartare, octopus, hamachi crudo,and tuna tartare. The octopus was exceptional and offered large tender pieces and brussels as a garnish. The East/West tartare showcased a savory and a sweet style and both were delicious. We both had steaks, a filet and a strip, and the strip was one of the best I've had to date. It was perfectly grilled and seasoned to perfection. For dessert, we had the creme brulee and the chocolate peanut butter cake. The creme brulee was very unique and not at all like the traditional. it has more of a bread pudding texture. The cake was hearty and had a salty sweet balance of the chocolate and PB which I enjoyed. Nuri is a whole vibe and a place I'd definitely visit again for both the ambiance and the food. read more

Although the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous...it was the slowest service by far that l've ever experienced in Dallas. And to top it off, I ordered the crème brûlée to go & I was very disappointed by the presentation that it was given to me. Crumbled up as if it was dropped before it made it out to me & it just looked like a disaster in a to go box. read more

My mom and I had a wonderful experience at Nuri for her birthday. Our waitress was Shayla and she was amazing! So attentive and welcoming. The food was delicious as well. We ordered the Wagyu dumplings, tuna tartare, tomahawk steak, Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes to share. I highly recommend the dumplings, they were scrumptious! The atmosphere was pretty and gives off an intimate vibe. This place would be great for dates or celebrations. All in all, I highly recommend this place! read more

situated in a strange building entry driveway, Nuri has incredible steaks. The purported $20M finish out looks like a scene from the old movie Metropolis, pretty cool. Waiters are very attentive and excited about their new jobs. The bar is small but very nice. The reason its not 5 star is bc the sides and desserts need to be attended to. There's macaroni, creamed kale and okra..? And the dessert we had was their version of creme brulee but it was strange also. really big and almost frozen, hard to eat, no scrusted ugar layer on top. It's very new so we will try it again read more

Hands down best steakhouse in dallas. From food to ambiance and service I was blown away. 12/10

We decided to come here as a last minute decision, we got a reservation at 9:15 which they do take a card as an incidental. The place inside is gorgeous, with a retro upscale vibe reminiscent of a jazz lounge. Steven at the bar made me a great cocktail that had Japanese cheesecake infused whiskey and gave my bf a half pour of a whiskey recommendation because there wasn't enough for a full pour. Patrick was our server and he was absolutely amazing, really had a passion for the restaurant and the food that they were creating. Gave me a nice white wine recommendation and another great whiskey with generous pours. The Japanese bread that comes to the table is hot, sweet, and fluffy. We started off with the crudo and wagyu truffle dumplings, the sauce from the dumplings was so good we with out shame dipped the bread into it. For our main we had the 36 oz ribeye, with mushroom, and the black truffle Cesar salad. I can't recommend all of it enough steak was a perfect rare and the presentation was beautiful. Patrick was so personable and made the night even more memorable. This is a great spot for a special occasion, date night, or just for some really good food! read more

This is a beautiful restaurant. Ambiance is quiet, date-friendly, and more elegant than many local steakhouses. Jessica was an excellent server, very knowledgeable on the menu, and everything was seamless. The wine list is excellent, Kyle the sommelier was knowledgeable and helpful, and the cocktail list was interesting. The food was more generous than expected (order less or take leftovers home), and delicious. The two desserts we tried were excelent. The shrimp cocktail is huge. Steaks were perfect. No complaints! we look forward to returning. read more

Took my wife there for her birthday. I don't think I've ever had as many staff people in a restaurant acknowledge a special occasion. At least 6 people came by to tell her happy birthday - I was impressed. On a somewhat busy Friday evening I thought that was cool. The seating was very comfortable. I have a bad back and prefer a table that is half booth, half chair and I take the booth half. The seat was well cushioned and comfortable. My wife was cold, maybe because of proximity to an A/C vent. One of the staff noticed and brought her a pashmina that was greatly appreciated. When we were first seated I thought the music volume was a bit high, causing us to lean in to talk. By the end of the meal the restaurant was full and noise level was well above the music. As with most Dallas places, expect it to be loud. I think there are enough reviews about the opulence of the décor - I'll just say ditto. Started with a Japanese whisky old fashioned cocktail. Very tasty - would of appreciated maybe just a touch taller pour. Made up for it with the wine by the glass offer. Very generous pour of wine. For food we had the wagyu dumplings and Caesar salad sans anchovies for appetizers. Dumplings were a treat and our first exposure to the Korean influence in the menu. The Wagyu was the star ingredient and extremely good. My only edit would be I think it would shine without the grated cheese. The salad was as expected and a generous portion. For entrée we had the dry aged ribeye and the Akaushi filet. The ribeye was in my top 5 steaks - heavy seasoning with nice sear - really top notch. The filet was a treat as well as we did not know what to expect from the Akaushi beef. Probably a filet is not the best cut to experience this steak but that is my wife's preference so there you go.... For a new restaurant, you can tell a ton of attention has been paid to staff training. No misses and everything had good timing. The price makes this a rare event for us, but will be our go to place for a very special steak experience in Dallas. Must try if you can afford it. read more

We had the best time celebrating my sweet husband's birthday with dear friends! First time diners who rsvp'd for the luxurious design, ambiance and culinary experience. To our surprise, our server ended up stealing the show. Shayla's service, knowledge, guidance through the menu, fun personality and sincere admiration for her company/colleagues was refreshing and helped make our night. The wine list is insanely well curated! Save room for the soufflé style cheesecake with table side chocolate topping. read more

First time visit to this new Uptown Dallas Korean Steakhouse. Parking limited so be ready to valet. High quality service valet. Very fast. The interior feels very warm and inviting. You MUST stop at the bar and meet the Masters of the art. Custom made drinks that are out of this world. They have created a spectacular menu of custom drinks and you can just tell them what are some of your favorite tastes and they will create a drink for you. It's a don't miss experience. After a few beverages our table was ready. The dining area is as warm and inviting as the bar. We were ushered to our table with conversation and a sincere smile. Once seated the experience began. Several servers were placing glasses and pouring ice cold Aquapani water while the waiter stepped up and introduced himself and prepared us for our great adventure. He explained how this Flagship location started and what to expect. He took our drink order and quickly returned with our beverages. He then told us of the Chef's favorites. We placed our orders from an outstanding 10 oz. aged Wagu steak' which has a story behind the cattle. To an outstanding Gumbo. We then ordered a variety of sides from an outstanding Korean influenced rice dish to over the top golden mashed potatoes. The service during the meal was friendly without being overbearing. Any request no matter how large or small at our table was done with a smile. Without giving away all of the little gems of the experience you Must try Nuri on your own. read more

The ambiance is nice. The service is good. The food is average. The caesar salad was the most basic caesar salad I have ever had. The rolls they give are just basic bread. You think you're getting upscale fine dining however the food is average at best. Ordered the Banana Foster Cake.... Please don't waste your time you can get better from the freezer aisle at your local grocery store. read more

We have visited Nuri twice and had outstanding experiences both times. The restaurant is stunning. From the moment you walk in, the hostesses are all so lovely and the staff is very warm and welcoming. The food is delicious and the presentation is amazing. Our waiters and the somm are super knowledgeable and create a great experience for guests. This is a knockout in Dallas and we can't wait to return! read more

We went to Nuri last night and had the best dining experience! From the moment we walked in the ambiance consumed us! The food.....especially the Korean Gumbo was sooo delicious the twist of cajun/korean was genius! Now the reason my family will be returning would be all of the previous stated...but our server was top notch! Someone PLEASE give Shayla her flowers!!! Shayla took such great care of us we honestly felt like family! Her service was impeccable, we have already requested to have next time! I hightly recommend asking for Shayla, she will def take care of you! read more

Did not eat the food so this review is just on the service and the reservation not being respected. We reserved a table in the standard room and when we got there they said there's no room, there's possibly an hour or so wait (it was already 7:30pm), and they did not apologize. They said there's room on the side, and we asked again if there are any options at all in the main room. They said ok and then a server walked us to what looked like a temporary indoor patio area, to a table that was right next to a gigantic 5ft very loud fan. The ambiance was terrible, especially for a high end restaurant. We asked them again if there was room in the main room and they said no (there was a long wait). So we left. The service did not have to be unpleasant if they had just apologized for their mistake and tried to make it work. I imagine the food is good and we were very interested in sampling a lot of it, we just lost all interest after the above. Had one evening in Dallas and this is the place we chose to reserve and spend it. Instead we went to Uchi next door and had one of the best meals we have ever had, with extremely good and attentive service. Seriously an incredible experience and well worth the cost. Well deserved great tip to our server there - will return to Uchi! read more

You cannot fix ignorance so you cannot improve anything if you tried. The servers are not trained well and the kitchen appears to be a disaster. read more

Hate to write this but we had a 7:45 reservation and weren't seated until 8:20, but let's put that aside. we were seated in a covered patio which was ok, but they had live music which just killed the entire experience. we were not asked if the loud music that prevented our party of 6 from having a conversation was ok, we were seated there away from the main dining room. they should ask when getting a reservation if that would be ok. food was good m; 3 of us shared the tomahawk cooked right temperature but was a bit cold once it got to the table. sea bass that my wife had was tasty sides were ok. value price and experience a 5. could have been better with a heads up! read more

Nuri Review I could not have imagined a more delectable palette of flavors brought together under one roof. My husband and I are food enthusiasts who love discovering new places that excel in gastronomy and atmosphere. My husband read about this new restaurant opening in Dallas with a culinary journey that spans from South Korea to New Orleans and finishes in Texas. We secured the reservation, and to be honest, I felt like a schoolgirl with giggles and a butterflies in my stomach. Growing up in New Orleans, the nostalgic flavors of my childhood and our love for Korean barbecue had me excited beyond measure! We arrived on time at 5:30 p.m. and were warmly greeted by the valet, doorman, and host stand, all dressed in sleek black attire. We marveled at the restaurant's stunning design and attention to detail in the custom lighting and flooring. After being seated, we were welcomed by our wonderful waitress Vee and Jamie, the General Manager. They informed us with excitement that we happened to be the restaurant's first official customers! We were thrilled to learn that Owner Wan Kim was also present to celebrate the opening. As fellow business owners, we were inspired by Wan's journey of vision, passion, and sacrifice from South Korea to New Orleans and on to Texas. Wan greeted us with genteel kindness, and we expressed our appreciation for the culinary experience he has brought to Dallas. He recommended we try both versions of gumbo--one traditional and one with a Korean twist--as well as the oysters Rockefeller, which he had brought to our table with his compliments. We ordered cocktails and excitedly chatted with Vee about the long-awaited restaurant opening after the fire. She had trained at Smoothie King HQ and learned sales, which was quite impressive! Our designer friend Brian spoke with the sommelier about a wine he had tried from Italy, which the sommelier managed to perfectly match! When the cocktails arrived, we were delighted by the mixologists' creations blending New Orleans and Korean flavors. I had the "Smoke on the Water," a Korean rye whiskey and orange cocktail served in a traditional Korean cast iron teapot designed as a dragon, with smoke coming from the spout. It was as delicious as it was spectacular in presentation--smooth with a strong undertone. Brian enjoyed the "Zen Garden," a cocktail made with Chinese Celery Gin, Creole Orgeat, Thai basil, and other ingredients, which he declared the best he had ever tried--a high praise given his frequent dining experiences in Miami. He ended up ordering two more, and we had the pleasure of meeting the mixologist, who explained the flavor development process. My husband's cocktail, "The Smoking Dragon," featured Japanese whiskey, cognac, sherry, and spiced cacao. The flavors were reminiscent of our visit to a Korean spa and Korean tea, making it my personal favorite due to its unique Korean tea sensation on the palate. As we enjoyed our cocktails, the oysters Rockefeller arrived on a bed of Himalayan salts with kale. The kale was a perfect twist on the original recipe, adding wonderful flavor to this New Orleans staple. The oysters were cooked to perfection--tender with a charred outer crust. We sampled both versions of gumbo: the traditional, which hit all the nostalgic notes, and the Korean-inspired version with kimchi and smoked A5 Korean sausage, which was truly breathtaking. I was so impressed that I looked at Brian with wide eyes, and he agreed it was exceptional, reminiscent of gumbo perfection. The kimchi and smoky sausage flavors were unparalleled, and I told Jamie that I wished I could take home a big pot to refill every week! For the main course, I had the 44 Farms ribeye, my husband enjoyed the Nuri Tasting Board, and Brian had the Wagyu tasting with Korean side sauces. We also ordered K-Mac, Brussels sprouts, and Yukon Gold mashed potatoes with shallots. The steaks were perfectly cooked with buttery tenderness. My husband's tasting board was the envy of the table, as he assembled bite-sized wraps with steak, Korean pickles, Korean steak sauce, and other trimmings. The Yukon mashed potatoes were a divine creation with a buttery texture and shallots in each bite, deserving of a Michelin star! Desserts and after-dinner drinks began with the soufflé cheesecake Mont Blanc. The cheesecake was presented theatrically from a cart, with a lever pulled down to create chocolate soufflé noodles. It was a showstopper that turned all heads and inspired numerous videos. The Bananas Foster cake was a large, delicate white cake with caramelized banana, rum buttercream, hazelnut, and rum caramel, which quickly became a table favorite. Even though we were full, we made room for this indulgent treat. My black Manhattan was the perfect complement to the Bananas Foster dessert. Following dinner, we were delighted to accept a behind-the-scenes tour of the restaurant. ...Continued in the pictures read more

I went to Nuri for my birthday and had an amazing experience. We've got a LOT of steak house options in Dalls. To start, getting there is interesting. The roads are all torn up, lots of construction around - but don't let that deter you. As a sports car guy, I always wonder if new spots are good places to take a low, sports car and trust the parking /valet situation. In this case, I'd leave your sports car at home as it will be parked off site somewhere. They do valet, but there are no spots up front for nice cars. Once you're there - you're welcomed with absolute glam. The buildout is insanely wonderful. Feels like a yacht or private jet the way all the corners are seamless and materials crossover without break. The booths are big and rich, round and make you feel like you're at a special place. The show really kicked off when our waiter, Gideon showed up. I'll be up front by saying that Gideon was one of the best components of our experience. Sure, the food was good - but GIdeon was incredible. He walked us through the entire menu item by item, digging in more when he'd see our eyes widen. We had some friends who dined here prior to us, so we were guided to the akushi steak offerings and ultimately went with the 24 oz bone-in Akushi NY Strip. We did the "Nuri Sauce" and the "kimchi butter". To be transparent, they were good, but I would have prob gotten the peppercorn next time as a more familiar flavor profile. Hands down, the best bite of food the whole night was the wagyu dumplings. Absolutely insane - I'm still thinking about them. We also did the Maque Choux Corn Cheese, which was easily the #2 bite we had. IT was ooey, gooey and cheesey spicy corn. It was divine. We also were guided to the Spicy Rice Au Gratin, which has their shiitake mushrooms on it (since we were told to get the mushrooms) and wish we had just gotten the sautéed mushroom side instead. At the end, we declined dessert and Gideon sent us home with the Strawberry shortcake, regardless. When I say Gideon made the meal, I mean it. I dine out a lot and he stands out. The steak? It was really good - but I make KILLER steak at home so I rely on amazing steak adds like bernaise or brandy sauce to make it different/ more unique than what I source and cook at home. In this case, both I tried were ok - but not great. Overall, I will definitely be returning. I hope to have the Korean lobster (whole before they switch to tails, which gideon told us), but they were out of this the night we went. This is #1 on my list next time and there WILL be a next time. Thanks, Nuri! read more

Tonight was a gorgeous night and we sat outside on the patio. What a fun surprise that there was a live jazz band - and they were amazing!!! The ambiance combined with an amazing dinner made for an amazing night!!! We had the Akaushi filet - delicious! So flavorful - I would definitely order that again! Our waitress - Shayla - had such a great and friendly personality - she made it very relaxing. All in all - 5 star night for us!!! We will be back! read more

Everything was great. Service was great. Food was great and drinks were awesome. I would definitely recommend friends and family!!
