This hidden tasting menu is located inside a subway station 🚉🍷👀 This speakeasy is tucked away in the last place you would imagine spending your entire night, the subway station! Nōksu is a restaurant hidden within a Midtown Manhattan subway station. 🚉 Nōksu is a 14-seat tasting counter located within the 32nd Street entrance of Herald Square. Before it became Nōksu, it was a barber shop and newspaper stand at the entrance to the subway. You know you’re in the right place when you see the black door with a silver keypad. You gain access to the restaurant only using the code sent to you on the day of your reservation. ⚫️ Upon entering, you’ll be welcomed by a 14-seat counter at Nōksu, where the black and white interior draws inspiration from Korean ink-and-wash paintings. The name, meaning “of the earth” in Korean, embodies an ethos that permeates the space. 🧑🏻‍🍳 Chef Dae Kim, who has previously worked at Per Se and Silver Apricot, offers a 12-course menu focusing on seafood, game, and highlighting traditional Korean flavors. Winter menu highlights include the Surf Clam with Hen-egg Custard, Caviar, and Scallion, Jeju Island Red Mullet with Crawfish and Preserved Meyer Lemon, and the Squab with Smoked Jiang, Puffed Duck Foot, and Truffle Bao.
