Job Details
Are you looking for a job that ACTUALLY values you, your hard work and shows that appreciation with advancement? How would you like to be part of a winning team in a fast-paced, fast-growing organization that’s on a mission to change one MILLION lives per year in NYC? We're looking to elevate the world views of Korean American restaurants and continue to create our own path. If you want to be a part of the A team, and maybe even lead your own team one day – KEEP READING. This isn’t a regular burger joint, this isn’t a doughnut shop, and we aren't a hole in the wall joint. We’re doing something different here – we’re always looking to improve, always striving to get better, and we’re looking for the right people to join us.
While we do serve burgers and tots, we're much more than that and so is our team! Our ideal team member takes initiative, loves to make our guests smile and puts 110% into everything they do. Not only that, our team members have opportunities to grow, both personally and professionally. Nowon refuses to settle for anything less than extraordinarily high standards but we believe for the right person, extraordinarily high standards are their normal. If you’re the right person for this job, you wouldn’t consider doing anything less.
Does your boss take you for granted? Are you starving for an opportunity to take on new challenges? Are you ready to see what you can accomplish in a fast-paced environment where being a tiny bit fanatical is a good thing? Are you ready to join an organization that eats passion for breakfast and leaves mediocrity in the trash?
If you’re self motivated, self disciplined, love being in a rapidly evolving work environment and want to be part of a dynamic team that thrives on building relationships with our guests, each other, and the community, then we want to hear from you!
We’re on a mission to change the landscape of the USA by leading a revolution of fun & delicious Korean-American food & drinks. Our goal is to change 1 million lives per year through our locations in NYC & Brooklyn.

Part of Nowon USA
Nowon, founded by Chef Jae Lee in 2019 and named after his hometown in Seoul, South Korea, is a vibrant Korean-American gastropub with two locations in New York City—the flagship in the East Village and a second outpost in Bushwick.
Nowon offers a dynamic and memorable dining experience that blends the bold flavors of Korean cuisine with the diverse culinary influences of New York City. Chef Jae is celebrated for his creative, crowd-pleasing dishes, such as the renowned ‘Legendary’ Cheeseburger and ‘Chopped Cheese’ Rice Cakes, which have earned widespread media attention. With a lively ambiance set to nostalgic 90s and early 2000s hip-hop music, Nowon delivers an unforgettable vibe to complement its exceptional food.
Building on the success of its East Village location, Nowon expanded to Bushwick, Brooklyn in July 2023, where Chef Jae introduced signature Korean-inspired wood-fired pizzas. Nowon’s momentum continues with the April 2025 opening of its Seaport, Boston location—marking the brand’s first venture outside of New York State.
