Nuri opened on Cedar Springs Road in August 2024: a Korean-influenced steakhouse, roughly 9,500 square feet designed by AvroKO, built around Texas Akaushi beef and a Seoul-trained culinary director. It is the newest serious steakhouse in Uptown and the largest by buyout.
What Makes Nuri Different From the Rest of the Block
| Element | Nuri |
|---|---|
| Kitchen | Culinary Director Minji Kim, from Seoul, with Executive Chef Mario Hernandez |
| Beef | Texas Akaushi HeartBrand Reserve, including a 40-ounce porterhouse |
| Signatures | Korean-style lobster with soy butter rice, dual steak tartare, wagyu dumplings |
| Design | AvroKO, on a reported $20 million build |
Hernandez arrives via Del Frisco's and Gordon Ramsay North America, so the steakhouse fundamentals are not an afterthought behind the Korean framing. Both traditions are being taken seriously, which is the whole proposition.
One clarification worth making, because it appears elsewhere in garbled form: chef Minji Kim is Michelin-recognized for work in Seoul. That credential belongs to the chef. Nuri itself does not hold a Michelin distinction.
Event spaces, and a note on confidence
| Space | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Private Room | 40 |
| Gangnam Room | 50 |
| Jade Terrace | 56 |
| Main Dining Room | 149 |
| Full buyout, banquet | 287 |
The 40-seat private room is corroborated across sources. The larger figures come from a single listing, so we confirm them with the restaurant before committing a party of that size.
For a large group that wants something other than another prime ribeye, this is the newest answer in Uptown: ask the concierge or request a reservation.
