Dinner at nudibranch

on 20 Apr 2026

by Ben Hon

The Dungeness Crab Feast at @nudibranchnyc is limited to 7 orders a day. We got one. 🦀

Nudibranch started as a pandemic pop-up in 2021 before opening their brick-and-mortar in 2022. Now Michelin-recognized, pulling from Korean and Spanish influences, it’s one of those places that keeps giving you reasons to come back.

The crab comes out a few different ways, with rice, vegetables, and steamed egg. We didn’t stop there though, the rest of the menu is just as much of the reason... More

The Dungeness crab feast is only available Monday through Thursday, and with how limited it is, reservations are worth it if you want to lock it in.

Your weekend plans should definitely include @nudibranchnyc. 🙌🏻

It’s been a minute since I’ve had a proper dinner here, and it’s still just as great when I first visited.

Born as a pop-up in the thick of the pandemic, Nudibranch has since found a permanent home—and a loyal following—by doing things differently. The menu draws from Korean and Spanish traditions, but it’s less about fusion and more about freedom: bold, unexpected flavors that tell a story of curiosity,... More

The menu draws from Korean and Spanish traditions, but it’s less about fusion and more about freedom: bold, unexpected flavors that tell a story of curiosity, collaboration, and the city’s ever-evolving food scene. It’s inventive without trying too hard—and genuinely fun to eat! They offer a prix-fixe option as well as an a la carte menu.
