Nowon
About
Nowon is a Korean-American gastropub in Boston’s Seaport from Chef Jae Lee, who founded the restaurant in 2019 and named it after his hometown in Seoul. The menu blends Korean flavors with the diverse culinary influences of New York City, where the brand started, and it is best known for the “Legendary” Cheeseburger and “Chopped Cheese” Rice Cakes that drew wide media attention. The atmosphere is lively, with nostalgic ’90s and early 2000s hip-hop playing.
The original Nowon opened in the East Village, and its success led to a second, larger location in Bushwick in July 2023, where Chef Jae added Korean-inspired wood-fired pizzas to the lineup. Boston was announced as the next step in the brand’s expansion for 2025. The Seaport location is listed for lunch, brunch and late-night dining, with cocktails and patio seating, and it is tagged as a date night spot.
