“Multiple hairs in my plate at Nowon that I found when I was like halfway through my meal. Accusatory tone from the server when I said something about it and you’d think I was taking money out of her pocket when I didn’t want to pay for it.”

“This was a GREAT food experience. Had the 42.00 Mixed tape for 3 of us. IMO A LOT of food for the money. All courses we fantastic (the weak link was the Caesar salad although it was very good everything else was phenomenal).”

“I wasn't personally a huge fan of Nowon's burger. I can't remember the specifics (so I guess it wasn't very memorable), but I think it was too rich/saucy and didn't have enough spicy/sour elements to counter that.”
