Sounds to me like there was some miscommunication between the Chef and the server, however I think everyone left Happy after That Cheeseburger, I know that I would have left Happy after That Cheeseburger!!!...
I think it's because the profits are not high on the fixed price menus so two guests are more likely to order alcohol (where the restaurant makes profit).
Man, let me just say something. I've live in the East Village for 2 years now and have passed by this restaurant for 2 years now without ever have gone inside of. I've followed you for a good 6 months; your reviews have always been quite interesting and inspiring by how your reviews come across as raw and REAL; I think I'll finally make a reservation to this establishment; ALSO; you should seriously pair up with another food reviewer and make some sick food reviews as I think you;d add a lot of interesting content to already other successful food reviewers. Thanks James! Chris
Hello it's Michael! Head waiter in Crystal River Florida. So enjoy your review of this restaurant. Some people don't get it but a burger can be considered cusine. To find a great burger is hard to find! Your demeanor is top notch!
Great insight into your food review. It is hard to say about the crisped up patty but I myself would have enjoyed it. Still, loved the review and if I ever get to NYC that is a place worth trying! As always, appreciate your insights!!
The polite thing to do would've been to say r those yours or r we sharing lol then if she would have said no those r mine, then u could've said Oh I don't blame u they r delicious. If she said no thanks I don't want them then u could say ok I don't mind if I do, and enjoyed them. Anyways it would've been a conversation starter since u thought she was attractive😉No loss, u had a great meal and a delicious video!
Intelligence, mindfulness of the present food, and great imagery in your descriptions. The calm voice is a bonus. This is a phenomenal food review channel, can't wait to see more.
Whoa, those tots! Broccolini looks awesome! How were you not full already after that? That kimchi burger looks amazing! I stand on sesame seeds (McDonalds taught me well in my youth). I have to check this place out! The desert looks like an Asian creme brule'. You must've been full after that - and you lost the girl! Story of my life...LoL
There's a Seoul vibe to Nowon's interior. Modern Korean cuisine features a lot of innovation and Nowan's menu really reflects that. For the quality I think $21 is a very reasonable price.
There used to be a burger here in Toronto called the Bymark burger (named after the fine dining establishment that served it) that cost $75 CAD ($49 USD). It was filled with premium beef maybe wagyu and luxury ingredients like truffle. Although the restaurant closed years ago the burger was on many "best burgers of Toronto" lists.
Looks excellent, James! My "guilty pleasure burger" is The Black Truffle Burger at Uncle Jack's. Not cheap at $49, but absolutely amazing. Give it a go one fine day! Great review as always, sir!
James, excellent and thorough review as always. I would agree that good burgers are staples, but unfortunately had to cut back for health reasons. Have you had a chance to try Donovan's in Woodside? They made a great bacon cheeseburger in the past. Haven't been there in a while though.
James, seems like a very reasonable price for such a heavenly meal. The broccolini, the burger with the sesame seed bun would have been too much for me and I would have missed out on that dreamy sweet potato pie. Ouch!
Pro Tip. If you get the set menu, ask them to give a little time between dishes, which are served family style. When we went, the dishes came out so fast and furiously that they ended up cold.
Great review I loved it. I did screw up and ordered without cheese I'm not a cheese guy on a burger and it looks much better with cheese. I got my friend the cheese I ate garlic honey tots and goguma pie and I really enjoyed it. I'm going to Palm Springs this weekend and take my mom to try Cajun steak at mortons it's great in NYC. Also on Mondays at Applebee's they do a $27 6oz steak with garlic mash potatoes and broccoli for $14. I go every Monday.
@@Jamesnuyour doing a great job. I enjoy the channel, just always noticed the small bites and really noticed it with the burger. lol. Keep up the good work. BTW Keens is my favorite steakhouse in NYC as well!!!
25% fat and lots of spicing- it won’t be difficult to make that taste good. Bringing the dishes out at odd times seems like a restaurant 101 fail. the broccolini looks like a no to me dawg.
Another superlative James Andrews review. This smashburger trend just isn't for me. I prefer burgers medium-rare, not well-done with the juices pressed out of them.
Thank you! I know what mean. I do prefer a thicker burger cooked to a medium rare over a smash burger, but if done right, I think a smash burger can still be really good.
No matter where or what you eat, your silent film-era facial expressions are always “muted” and convey a general sense of “meh”. Imagine a similarly visceral medium, porn, and ask yourself, “do I really want to hear play-by-play voice-over while this guy half-heartedly feigns intimacy and arousal?” Watch more Mark Wiens and Strictly Dumpling and emote and savor in the moment like these foodie pros! 😊
I do the voiceovers to be considerate of the restaurant and those around me. I don't play up anything for the camera for the sake of the video at someone else's expense. Mark Wiens and Strictly Dumpling are fantastic, but I have my own style and they have their own style as well.
When the food is that good in NY, people will buy it if they have it. Cost of living over there is pretty high so a $21 burger is helping pay the restaurant's rent I'm sure.@@Jamesnu
It’s a burger from an Asian restaurant! Probably as bad as Asian food at an American joint! Also guy, have the balls to speak to the chick and you might get a number!
You’re a hot mess like the rest of us. Next time BE BOLD! Grab the chip! You’re more capable than you think, stop blocking yourself. This time around.. try the unknown. Say hello.
James, stop being so cheap. Just pay double for the set menu and eat by yourself. As you said it is great value. It should be more than enough food for your big appetite.
You not eating the chips because they possibly weren't yours makes you one of the nicest people in New York City.
Haha! I try!
I agree, though I would be carrying those chips home in a doggie bag after the lady left! 😬😂
I would blame the server for poor communication on who it’s for.
Sounds to me like there was some miscommunication between the Chef and the server, however I think everyone left Happy after That Cheeseburger, I know that I would have left Happy after That Cheeseburger!!!...
man your content is so good, one of the most honest reviews and so balanced. you sohuld have 1M+ subs
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
James. Your description of the food is an excellent flow of organized thoughts. Looking forward to your next review.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate!
Always excited to see one of your videos pop up!
Thank you!
Whoever added that "minimum of 2 guests" to some of those menu items clearly never witnessed an appetite like yours!
Indeed! I have the appetite of two guests!
It’s for everyone else that orders a lot but only finished half
I think it's because the profits are not high on the fixed price menus so two guests are more likely to order alcohol (where the restaurant makes profit).

Thanks for watching Chris! I really appreciate the nice words. Yeah, you should definitely check out Nowon sometime. It's a solid restaurant!
Your reviews are concise and mouthwateringly descriptive but embody such a great vibe! Keep up the amazing work 🤙🏼
Thank you so much!
Dude, I was put there to be an icebreaker!
-The Chips
Haha!
@@JamesnuYou could have said “Excuse me miss, but I think these are yours. I’ve already had mine.”
🤓
@@mistergrendel32 Indeed! I should've at least said something.
Great review as always! Thank you! My reservation has been made for next Monday night, and I can't wait!
Thank you so much! I hope that you enjoy it!
I make my own burgers at home. 🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔 This burger is an inspiration.
Nice! Yeah, that was a good burger!
A Roccolini Caesar salad - F****g brilliant! Love a small twist on the classics. Thanks for showing close ups of the full menu.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, the restaurant has a lot of good dishes!
A very good review. I really like watching your videos. Keep up the good work!! Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you very much!
This place has been getting a lot of press and coverage. Great review. Thank you.

I’ve been binging your videos all day, can’t wait to see what else you review!
Thank you so much for the support! I really appreciate it!
Same here! I save the newest videos and binge-watch them all at once. It's hard to just watch one and wait for the next video to drop!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the nice words!
If she let those chips go to waste, then you know she isn't the one for you!
Haha! That's a good point!
Or… maybe she was thinking the same thing as James. Are the chips for him or me? I didn’t know you were so shy James.
You got to love a great burger!!! That dessert looked amazing too. Thanks for showing us this restaurant.
Wonton chips = Good conversation starter
Indeed!
Thank you, James. Your reviews are a highlight of the week. BTW it's -5 this morning in Winona, MN. Best wishes
Thank you! That makes me happy to hear! Stay warm out there!
Tator tot with chopsticks, now that’s the first
Yep, that was definitely a first for me.
You’re such a funny guy! Lol love the way you describe all these foods and restaurants 😂 👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Nice upscale burger @ $21! I liked the appetizer of sautéed greens!
Indeed! Yeah, it was nice having some vegetables with my food.
I've been to Nowon a few times when I lived in Seoul. God, I miss the food there 😩
Nice! I'd love to travel there someday.
I love your format alot bro. Always a relaxing watch
Glad to hear it!

@@skatingcanuck9837 Definitely! I thought the restaurant as a whole provided great value.
Always amazed at how small of bites you take

There's something to be said for taking a big juicy bite, both from the eaters perspective and the viewers @@Jamesnu

That sounds epic! If the restaurant were still around I would've loved to have tried it.
@@Jamesnu I forgot to mention that burger also had some gold on it.
Everything looked DELICIOUS but that Burger looked ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! 😋😋😋😋😋
Safe Journey!
Yellowbird Blue Agave Sriracha!!!

Nice! That sounds amazing! I'll definitely have to try it someday!
For 50 bucks it better make me shit gold after
It would be so funny if she watched this video and she ended up reaching out to you and asked you to get chips somewhere with her
Haha! Yeah, that would be pretty awesome!
Wow everything looks absolutely delicious! Must visit list for sure
It was so good!
Definitely visiting this place next time I'm in NYC. Food looks great!
It's a must visit for sure!
I work as a cook at the location in Bushwick! Definitely stop by!
I definitely will!
Coming next Tuesday!
Can't wait to try this when I'm in NYC in February
It's a must-try for sure! I hope you enjoy it!
Yep 👍, as someone that has cooked in restaurants for Decades, That looks like a Really Delicious Cheeseburger!!!
It was really good!
thats going on the must have list now, great review
Thank you!
Amazing burger and meal, thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
James, excellent and thorough review as always. I would agree that good burgers are staples, but unfortunately had to cut back for health reasons. Have you had a chance to try Donovan's in Woodside? They made a great bacon cheeseburger in the past. Haven't been there in a while though.
Thank you! No, I haven't been to Donovan's yet, but I definitely plan to check it out in the future.
Thank you James for another gteat review.
Thank you so much for watching!
James, seems like a very reasonable price for such a heavenly meal. The broccolini, the burger with the sesame seed bun would have been too much for me and I would have missed out on that dreamy sweet potato pie. Ouch!
Yeah, it was a lot of food, but I definitely thought that it was fairly priced.
Great looking burger and I would love that dessert.!! ❣😊
Yeah, both were fantastic!
That burger looks amazing!!
I was as good as it looked!
Pro Tip. If you get the set menu, ask them to give a little time between dishes, which are served family style. When we went, the dishes came out so fast and furiously that they ended up cold.
That's a good tip! Thanks for sharing!
Another great video! Thanks again
Thank you so much!
@Jamesnu cheers sir!🍻
Great review. That was one fine burger!
Thank you so much! Yeah, it was really good!
NYC apparently has like 10+ 'best burgers in New York' haha. Would love like a comparison video about which one is truly 'the best'
I know, there's a lot!
Wait a minute, he kept saying he’s sitting at the bar, he’s sitting in a single table against the wall.
The bar is L shaped.
I need you to take me on a burger tour when I’m back at NYC
Definitely!
American cheese is the perfect cheese to use for a cheeseburger! will check them out when I'm in NYC next time thanks!
I agree! Thanks for watching!
@@Jamesnu thank you for sharing!
I just drew the most boss bath perfect timing
Nice!
I just love watching you eat…you eat with such passion!
Thank you! I do love food!
Great review I loved it. I did screw up and ordered without cheese I'm not a cheese guy on a burger and it looks much better with cheese.

Thank you! Yeah, the other food was really good as well! I hope you have a great time in Palm Springs! I really enjoy Mortons too!
@@Jamesnu just went to Delmonico's and ceaser salad steak spinach baked Alaska for $170 and a $30 tip it was great
@@RR-fg2rl Nice! I'm happy to hear it!
@@Jamesnu I'm going to Raos Mar 8 at 9pm do you want to go it's about a month away
@@RR-fg2rl I would really like to, but I'll probably be traveling at that time. I really appreciate the offer!
Lesson, eat the chips next time. Great ice breaker
Indeed!
I literally went there last week and was wondering when you'd go there!
Nice! I hope that you enjoyed it!
You should have asked the pretty lady if she wanted to do the set meal with you! :)
That would've been a good idea, however, she arrived a bit after I did and I was already eating when she was seated.
I wanted to see how the girl looked. Great review as always. Nice hair cut BTW.
Thank you!
James,
You should fly to LA to taste In N Out burgers!
I've been to I-N-Out a number of times. They're pretty good!
So happy you mentioned the burger at Au Chevaul. Feel like it’s not being talked about enough. What burger is on top?
Yeah, the burger at Au Cheval is fantastic, but for me, the black label burger at Minetta Tavern is still my favorite.
@@Jamesnu thanks added to my list
(Free) Chips -> (Attractive) Woman
- Teddy Roosevelt (Probably)
Haha!
Foolish of them to bring the tots out during the appetizer portion of your meal. The price was reasonable.
Yeah, but it was at least better to have something to eat rather than waiting for the food to arrive.
The rest of the Menu is Intriguing as well...
I agree!
Hey James, what do you record your videos with?
I use the Canon M6 Mark II.
Yum
Yum indeed!
First to watch!!!
Nice!
EXCELLENT BURGER
Indeed! It was fantastic!
Have you ever noticed that James takes such tiny bites?? I wonder why.
Nice!
Thanks for watching!
You are brace to order water at the bar, I give you credit for staying true to what you wanted
Haha! Thank you!
No kimchi on my burger, thank you
Fair enough, but I enjoyed it on Nowon's burger.
I would be really interested in your opinion on the most expensive grilled cheese in the world at New York City's Serendipity3
I'll definitely dine at the restaurant someday. Maybe I will review the grilled cheese.
21 dollar burger ouch
Yeah, but thankfully it's not as expensive as a lot of other NYC burgers.
Completely worth it for a burger with that much work in it.
too cute.
Thanks for watching!
Great review...
But that music...Yikes.
Thank you!
you should have simply asked her: "sorry, are those yours?" and then have a conversation....."they are sooo good"...etc
That definitely would've been a good conversation starter.
This guy takes the oddest small bites. I mean, he looks like he’s going all in and ends up taking a nibble. 😂😂😂
I know, but I like really savoring my food.
@@Jamesnuyour doing a great job. I enjoy the channel, just always noticed the small bites and really noticed it with the burger. lol. Keep up the good work. BTW Keens is my favorite steakhouse in NYC as well!!!
😊
That was one fine burger!
Do the restaurants ever object to you filming video? Do you need to ask for permission first?
I've never had any issues with it.
for me the best tasting hamburger is thr Big tasty of macdonalds and the Champ of Jolibee
Fair enough.
25% fat and lots of spicing- it won’t be difficult to make that taste good. Bringing the dishes out at odd times seems like a restaurant 101 fail. the broccolini looks like a no to me dawg.
Yeah, those meat to fat ratios definitely helped.
Another superlative James Andrews review. This smashburger trend just isn't for me. I prefer burgers medium-rare, not well-done with the juices pressed out of them.
Thank you! I know what mean. I do prefer a thicker burger cooked to a medium rare over a smash burger, but if done right, I think a smash burger can still be really good.

Eat more chips
I should've.
Who has the best nachos in New York City?
I wish I knew.
Eat with barehands!!!
Haha! Yeah, I think that was my first time eating tater tots with chopsticks.
Did you ask that girl for her #?
Unfortunately not. I should've at least talked to her.
