We had a wonderful lunch experience at Nouri and were truly impressed from start to finish. As a one-Michelin-star restaurant, it certainly lived up to its reputation. The food presentation and plating were exceptional — every dish was beautifully composed, almost like a piece of art. Beyond aesthetics, you can clearly sense the immense effort and creativity the chef puts into crafting each course. The flavours were thoughtfully layered and designed to awaken and challenge the palate in the most delightful way. Service was equally outstanding. Special thanks to Wyman, who made our experience even more memorable. He was friendly, attentive, and highly professional. His deep knowledge of the dishes and tea pairing was impressive — he gave thorough explanations of the ingredients and guided us on how best to taste and appreciate each element. His passion and confidence added so much to the overall dining journey. An unforgettable lunch experience. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates refined cuisine and impeccable service.

Had at Nouri for a special occasion, and honestly, the experience itself was a little more memorable than the food. We had the Crossover menu ($328), and from the moment you step into the foyer, the entire evening feels intentional. Guests are welcomed with a drink while the team introduces Nouri’s concept of “crossroads” — different cultures, ingredients, and influences intersecting into one seamless dining experience. It immediately sets the tone for what’s to come. The hospitality here deserves special mention. Wyman, our Maître d’, was exceptional from start to finish — eloquent, charming, witty, and incredibly knowledgeable. Every dish explanation felt thoughtful and passionate, never rehearsed. You could genuinely feel how much he believes in the food and the philosophy behind it. Chef Ivan, if you ever see this: Wyman has been here for over 6 years and his passion still shines through so clearly. Someone give this man a raise! Another staff member, Alberto, was also warm and knowledgeable, though his explanations felt a little rushed at times, and his strong accent made some parts harder to catch. I found myself having to ask him to repeat a few things throughout the night. Ambience: 5/5 Absolutely loved the open kitchen concept. Watching the chefs work in complete rhythm and quiet communication was almost theatrical. There’s a calm elegance to the space that never feels stuffy or overly formal. Food: 4/5 Some hits, some misses. The creativity and technical execution are undeniable, but a few dishes felt stronger in concept than flavour. That said, the overall progression of the menu was very well thought out and cohesive from start to finish. What really elevated the evening was how the experience doesn’t simply end after dessert. The team walks guests upstairs to their sister concept, Appetite — Nouri’s R&D kitchen and a much more intimate space offering a la carte dishes with a completely different direction. While Nouri leans into Southeast Asian ingredients and layered cultural storytelling, Appetite explores French, Italian, and Spanish influences in a more relaxed format. And tucked away beside it is “The Listening Room,” their speakeasy-style lounge where guests can continue the night over drinks. A very thoughtful touch that makes the entire evening feel immersive rather than transactional. Overall, Nouri feels less like just dinner and more like a carefully choreographed experience. Thanks for the recommendation, Josh!

Disappointed with our recent birthday celebration at Nouri We chose Nouri for my husband’s 43rd birthday because we had a wonderful experience there previously and expected it to be the perfect spot for a memorable occasion. Unfortunately, the visit was deeply disappointing. The overall service and attention to detail have clearly declined. The most frustrating part was the wine service. We brought an expensive bottle of DRC to celebrate, but the sommelier was absent. Instead, an inexperienced staff member handled it. He placed the bottle directly into water, completely destroying the label, didn’t offered us the cork at the time open the bottle, and didn’t ask for decanting. His serving style was clumsy and unprofessional for a wine of this caliber. The food servers were equally disengaged. They appeared eager to finish their shift rather than provide warm hospitality. There was no enthusiasm when presenting dishes, and when I asked for assistance with something related to the restaurant’s social media, one server responded with indifference. The low point came during the birthday cake moment. The waiter reluctant to serve us anymore but enjoyed watching chef’s preparation. Instead, the restaurant manger served us. He simply handed it to us with no celebration. The rest of the team — including chefs and other waitstaff — continued working as if we weren’t there. There were no birthday songs, no well-wishes, and no sense of celebration whatsoever. While I don’t expect every Michelin-starred restaurant to sing and make a fuss, we had specifically discussed this being a special occasion when we booked. The manager had sounded genuinely excited on the phone, yet on the night itself the team seemed annoyed by our presence rather than welcoming to host us. The reservation form even asks whether the booking is for a celebration, which makes the lack of any acknowledgment even more disappointing. We left feeling that we had made the wrong choice for such an important milestone. My husband’s 43rd birthday will never come again, and instead of creating beautiful memories, the evening left us both deflated. Regretfully, I cannot recommend Nouri for special occasions anymore.

Food was deliciously interesting. Never knew that Turkish Dumplings could go with Mala Seasoning or Chocolate could be paired nicely with ikan bilis (local small anchovies). Overall, wonderful experience.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Nouri. The food was excellent, with beautifully presented dishes that showcased a lot of creativity and thoughtful combinations. Each course felt carefully crafted, making the meal both interesting and enjoyable. The service was outstanding—attentive, warm, and professional, which really elevated the overall experience. It’s a small, cozy space with minimalist decor, creating an intimate and refined atmosphere. It’s definitely on the pricier side, as expected for fine dining, and while the value may depend on your expectations, the overall experience is memorable. We had a lot of fun and appreciated the creativity and care that went into the meal.
