The food was amazing......such interesting flavors.....I did the tasting menu. I ended up sitting in the lounge so I did not get the full experience, but the lounge scene was beautiful, and the service was impeccable. I will definitely be back.

About the restaurant
Nudibranch began as a 2021 pop-up by Chefs Jeffrey Kim and Matthew Lee. In 2022, we opened our brick-and-mortar in the East Village. Since then, we’ve been featured in Esquire’s Best New Restaurants in America, The Infatuation’s Best New Restaurants in NYC, and the Michelin Guide. Our name comes from a scuba trip in Indonesia, where we encountered nudibranchs—tiny, vividly colored sea slugs known for their boldness and diversity. That spirit inspires our food: playful, creative, and full of character. At Nudibranch, we blend Korean and Spanish influences through seasonal tasting menus that reflect the diversity and energy of New York City. Join us for an evolving culinary experience rooted in curiosity, culture, and vibrant flavor.

My colleagues and I had a fantastic dinner at Nudibranch last night. A couple of us had been in to dine prior, but didn't try the duck yet, so that was an obvious choice for this visit. Hannah took great care of us, her menu knowledge and recommendations were impressively thorough and went a long way to elevating our experience. Top to bottom a great evening - cocktails, wine, small bites, mains, and desserts. Can't wait to come back!
