Norimen

This place is truly a hidden gem. The appetizers were absolutely amazing, I’d even say they’re Michelin level quality, but at a very reasonable price. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back again!

this place is a quiet hole in the wall. we order the tofu yogurt appetizer which was VERY refreshing! love the olive oil and dill notes to it. Hubs got jeyuk plate and i got the omurice with demi-glaze. food not salty just the right size was given tea when we sat down staff was SUPER friendly and attentive definitely coming back!!

Nice new Korean fusion restaurant on the edge of Chinatown. The chef has impeccable attention to detail and the tofu yogurt appetizer was a nice new flavor. The decor is also very nice and the place is not too busy mid-afternoon.

I had an amazing time here. Wow from the moment I walked in, it felt warm and welcoming. The server did an excellent job, the food was great, and everything was light and easy on the stomach. The menu has so many good options, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more. excellent work By the way, I had already eaten some of the food from the plate before I took the picture

I went with my husband and our two kids, and even our picky eaters loved the food. It’s not something you can easily find, more of a fusion style, and everything tasted fresh, healthy, and delicious. The sauces were unique and flavorful, and the service was excellent. Since it’s a new place, we weren’t sure what to expect, but the food and prices were both very reasonable, and we really enjoyed it.

Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere is warm and stylish, and the food is not only delicious but also unique🩵 every dish feels creative and beautifully designed. You can tell a lot of thought went into both the flavors and presentation. On top of that, the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d recommend and return to!

Norimen is one of those places you wish you had discovered sooner. As others have mentioned, it feels like a hidden gem—tucked across from the 5th precinct (which honestly looks like it came straight out of a movie with its jade lights). Every detail of the space feels intentional, from the décor to the pretty ceiling. Everything on the menu sounded tempting, and everything we tried turned out to be fantastic. We went all in—Spicy Salmon Tacos, Yangnyeom Chicken, Tofu Yogurt Spread, Crab Croquette, Kim Pasta, Tteokgalbi, Salmon, and Bossam. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted even better. Some items were familiar staples in Korean cuisine, but Norimen added its own interesting twist—like anchovy ssamjang and kimchi jam—that elevated the flavors in unexpected ways. The cocktails were another highlight. I wish I had taken photos, but they were so good I couldn’t resist finishing them right away. Moogoomg Blossom, Kong Sool, and Soo Jung were all unique, refreshing, and delightful. For dessert, the toasted injeolmi sundae was the perfect sweet ending. If Norimen were closer to me, I’d be there all the time—fortunate for my wallet that it’s not, but definitely unfortunate for my taste buds. As someone who’s had plenty of Korean food growing up, I can honestly say Norimen is the real deal. Highly recommend giving Norimen a try.
