nudibranch

nudibranch began as a pop- up experience during covid 2021, and as a result of the genuine hospitality of friends and fellow chefs/ restaurant owners we were able to open up our brick-and-mortar space in 2022.

the name nudibranch derives from a scuba diving excursion off the islands of indonesia discovering the colorful and diverse sea slugs that bear the same name.

the food here is colorful, diverse, and often experimental with a focus on korean and spanish cuisine. similar to the diversity of the fingertip sized sea slugs, our food builds on the diversity of new york and the people that make up our city and our space.
