Nowon Seaport

Nowon brings Korean American cooking and a hip-hop soundtrack to Seaport Boulevard. Chef Jae Lee founded the restaurant in New York and named it for the district of Seoul where he grew up. The cheeseburger is a main attraction, joined by chopped cheese rice cakes that bring a New York sandwich idea to a Korean staple. The restaurant plays 1990s and early-2000s hip-hop, giving dinner a soundtrack that suits an evening with friends.

The Boston restaurant takes reservations and offers delivery through its website. Its hours stretch from midday into the night, giving you room to plan lunch or a later dinner. Check the Seaport menu when booking, since the offerings differ between locations.
