NOFLEX

I saw this place on Tiktok and I knew that I wanted to stop by and try. I will say that it is very vibey and seems like a great place to go before you actually go out - not sure if coming here on a Tuesday is really the vibe but atlas that is when I came here. My bestie and I grabbed dinner here on a Tuesday around 5 pm and it was really empty inside. The staff was super nice. The menu itself was not super extensive but they had good food options and a lot of good drink options if you are interested in cocktails. For food we decided to get the:-Sweet Potato fries - the dipping sauce that it came with was the star of the show, so flavorful and delicious -Charcoal Skewer Combo: The flavors were pretty good, some of their meats were really tender and delicious, the veggies were just alright but I really liked this as it allowed us to try a variety of different skewers -Mentaiko cream udon: This dish was really yummy highly recommend, super creamy and flavorful and the udon was very bouncy. Overall - I think it would be a great dinner place with friends especially if you guys grab some drinks. They have really cool sounding cocktails and also other great dishes to share! The food that we had was really good as well but I think in the future I would probs come back during a weekend!

Decent bar. I've been twice now with table reservations and have had good experiences both times.Tried the Jeju Margarita this past visit and it was great (strong and tasty). We always get Soju shots and they come pretty standard.Very aesthetically pleasing to have drinks there, good vibes and good music. I never feel rushed to order more drinks or to leave which is huge in my book for NYC.

While it advertises media art, it's essentially just a digital plasma TV displaying noflex across the screen. We visited on a Friday night, and there was a $15 cover charge per person, which included a shot that wasn't so good. As a group of seven, we found the place unusually empty, leaving us puzzled about the cover charge. The music was decent but leaned towards older tracks that weren't particularly memorable. Overall, I didn't enjoy my experience--maybe it was an off night, but I wouldn't return again. The cover charge didn't make sense for this kind of place. No one was dancing but us!

Food was great, just wish they had a wider selection of beers to drink with. Service was great too but they said we couldn't order anymore due to it being Valentine's Day and us being walk-ins. Wasn't too bothered by it. The place also hosts events and turns into a club some nights. Great mood/ lighting but you might not be able to see your food.

Knocked a star down for slow and inattentive service. We waited for a solid 10-15minutes from sitting down and even then no one came by. We had to get up and find a server and ask them to come to our table...In terms of everything else... super freaking cool. The drinks were so delish. I couldve had at least 3-4 of their cocktails. The ambience is also really cool, imagine a club meets an art exhibit. Huge plus that they were playing some hiphop bangers. If they turned this place into a club I'd probably be here every weekend!

Coming from someone from the Bay Area, I felt the place was lit and had good music upon walking in. It was barely midnight on a Saturday night and starting to pick up the energy . However we didn't know you couldn't order any of the cocktails past 11pm so we were bummed about that cause we were looking forward to trying them. The DJ played great songs and also took requests. We were lit and enjoying the dance floor by 1am, however it started to die down and a lot of people left. The service was also mid, we had to get drinks at the bar even though we were seated at a table because no one came to attend to us for at least 15 minutes. Later, they ended up forcing us to close out our tab, closing the place on us and kicking us out before 1:30am even though the bar is supposed to close at 4am. There were even people still wanting to come in but they closed early. Kind of killed the vibe for me cause we were having a great time. And on a Saturday is crazy.

the food was mid and drinks were okay the food: i got the ddukbokki, fries with truffle sauce, and prosciutto with melon. the pistachios on the prosciutto were soooo stale and the prosciutto itself was very old because it was not soft or fatty, but more hard like cardboard lol. ddukbokki and fries were fine. the drinks: nothing amazing, tasted like a standard dive bar - but for the price point of specialty drinks, it is disappointing. the space: it's huge the service: attentive only when you go early. later it's nearly impossible to flag anyone down.

Heard mixed reviews about their food and drinks, but I personally found their newly launched menu really good. They offer an extensive menu of food, dessert and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). It is a cafe during the day and transforms into a bar at night. The interior gives a neon nightclub vibe with its bold lighting and media art installation. ＊Pork Belly Bossam**I strongly recommend getting their Korean mains. The pork belly bossom is our favorite dish with the perfect meat-to-fat ratio. It is on the saltier side, so it will be a great accompaniment to your beer or cocktails. ＊Soy Garlic Boneless Chicken*Soy garlic boneless chicken is another standout -- finger-licking delicious and I like the roasted pumpkin slices. ＊Sweet Potato Fries and Truffle AioliIf you want something to snack on while chatting with friends, get the sweet potato fries. Well seasoned and the truffle aioli is addictive. ＊Soft Shell Crab Handroll＊Spicy Avocado Salmon Crispy Rice Imo the handrolls and crispy rice are skippable unless you want more snacks to pair with your drinks.＊Kyoto Hoji Tea Roll Cake**DON'T SLEEP ON THEIR DESSERTS. The hojicha roll cake is a huge surprise -- the hojicha cream has strong tea flavor, enveloped in the soft sponge cake. The green tea ice cream on the side is okay but great to eat with the roll cake. ＊Creamy Ricotta Strawberry CroffleWhile the croffle has a nice crunch texture, we found the strawberries quite sour. It's probably because the ice cream is too sweet.＊Virgin Mojito, Korean Yuzu Sour*The korean-inspired cocktails/mocktails aren't too sweet, unique in flavors and cute looking.

Back after half a year and left feeling disappointed. It definitely gets crowded and is louder towards the back. Takes forever for your drink to come out, even more so the food. When we asked, a server came back saying the food had been ready but they were not notified.. So does that mean it was just sitting there cooling off?... The croquette was yummy, but this tiramisu martini that was supposed to be like espresso martini was just horrible. I really tried to drink more of it b/c it was expensive but every sip was just bad.. The whipped cream on top was bitter and was not sweet at all, and the drink itself was also just so bitter and kept making my tongue tingle.It's also almost impossible to get a server's attention and we had to ask multiple times to get our water refilled.. When we finally asked for the check it also took awhile for him to come with the machine, but that machine didn't work so he went back to the bar to get one. But I checked the check during then and thank goodness because 20% tip was already included?? For a party of 2?? Not sure how 20% is defaulted when their service is so spotty and asked for more tip after paying for the check.

After seeing NOFLEX on social media, my boyfriend and I made a reservation on a Friday night. There was plenty of seating and it wasn't too busy, so walk-ins are definitely feasible. The interior of the restaurant was very unique, with a huge screen behind the bar showing a variety of designs and red lighting. We were sat at a high table and we ordered the kimchi fried rice, fries, and mentaiko cream udon. The fries were pretty good and although the portions appeared small at first, they were a decent size! I really enjoyed my udon but I wish there was another component such as some meat or vegetables in the noodles so that it wasn't as one dimensional. My boyfriend also enjoyed his kimchi fried rice. I would recommend stopping by if you are in the area and enjoy Asian cuisine!
