Korean-American Comfort Plates and a Celebrated Bushwick Burger
Start with chopped cheese rice cakes, add the cult burger, and finish on yuzu ricotta toast in Bushwick.
🍔 The Burger and Beyond
Nowon made its name on a burger that reviewers call legendary, then built a menu of creative Korean-American plates around it. The chopped cheese rice cakes turn a bodega classic into chewy tteok, the whipped yuzu ricotta toast leans sweet, and shrimp tacos and sesame cucumber kimchi fill out the a la carte side next to a structured tasting menu. The room reads as welcoming and made for late nights, and the kitchen runs until 12:30 AM on Friday and Saturday when the counter fills fast. Weekdays keep a steadier 5:00 to 11:00 PM rhythm, and weekend service opens at noon. It sits on Jefferson Street in Bushwick, leans slightly expensive, and is built to share across a full table.
