Have you heard of the new HIDDEN fine dining Korean restaurant located in a subway in NYC?⁠
⁠
Nōksu opened its doors right under the streets of Manhattan’s Herald Square this past Friday. The $225 12-course meal can be supplemented with a $175 wine experience from places like Germany, Austria, and California. Dessert options include a winter melon dish and dragonfruit cream sorbet.⁠
⁠
The newly opened restaurant is co-owned by Bobby Kwak and Joseph Ko, who are known for their successful ventures Baekjeong and Sundaes Best. According to a press release, the name “Nōksu” represents a “deep and clear valley in the mountains,” a nod to its underground location.⁠
⁠
This space, once a newsstand and a barbershop, has been transformed into an elegant dining room. Blending tradition with modernity, the establishment draws inspiration from Korean ink wash paintings known as sumuk-hwa. The contrast of black-and-white counters creates a contemporary ambiance while paying homage to Korean culture.⁠
