Our Story
About Us
Nuri Steakhouse is an Asian steakhouse shaped by an East meets West approach to the modern steakhouse. The menu centers on Akaushi beef, dry-aged cuts, and Japanese wagyu, alongside seafood towers and composed dishes that move between Eastern and Western traditions.
Our wine program, led by Master Sommelier Barbara Werley, features over 1,300 selections sourced globally. The list has earned Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence and the World of Fine Wine 3-Star Award, offering both depth and approachability.
We have been named one of the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants, ranking No. 84 worldwide, and recognized by D Magazine as Best Steakhouse.
The space includes a main dining room, private dining rooms, and an enclosed terrace, designed to accommodate individual dining as well as corporate and celebratory events.

Design
Designed by the acclaimed AvroKO team, the lavish interiors of Nuri Steakhouse draw inspiration from the Art Deco era, featuring curvaceous forms, soft fabrics, and intricate details in wood, metals, and stones. Traditional Korean celadon ceramics influence the colors and textures throughout the space, adding a timeless elegance.
A bold cyberpunk aesthetic weaves in modernity, reflecting the digital gaming culture of Asia. Black cork and brass-paneled walls resemble circuit boards while enhancing acoustics, and reflective metal finishes nod to computer components. The bar’s glowing ceiling, crafted from a massive milk truck panel, adds industrial drama.
Stone floors, with circuit-inspired patterns, lead to a jade-like stone fireplace. In the private dining room and member’s lounge, de Gournay hand-painted wall coverings blend Asian textures with Korean influences, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and visually captivating.
Ceramics
At Nuri, we cherish the history embedded in our unique collection of bowls, over a century old, believed to have graced the homes of the affluent during Korea's Japanese colonial period. These artifacts remind us of a challenging era when, starting in 1910, Japan's colonial rule sought to erase Korean identity and autonomy. The oppressive governance stripped Koreans of rights, lands, and economic status, imposing harsh policies and controls. Our bowls symbolize resilience and the indomitable spirit of a nation that has endured and flourished against the odds, honoring a rich cultural heritage that survived adversity.
