Noreetuh is a cute Hawaiian restaurant in the East Village that is vegan-friendly! I love that they use Omni pork as a pork substitute to offer some awesome vegan dishes. They can make their "spam" musubi vegan which is AMAZING. Omni pork is delicious and the spicy spam with vegan mayo (YES vegan mayo) and jalapeno was a great combination. Also tried the Omni pork potstickers- another hit which was perfectly pan fried & tasted great!. Lastly tried the black bean chow noodles which were super tasty. The black bean sauce is delicious and the noodles have a great texture- perfectly al dente. I believe it is house made. The noodles were my favorite dish! I hope Noreetuh continues to have many more vegan options. Maybe consider vegan salmon so they can make vegan poke :) Would love a nice dessert option as well. They also have a bar and variety of cocktails. Service was very friendly and speedy! Had a tiny snafu with one of the dishes that was quickly resolved with no hesitation. Reservations are recommended at peak times. Would return as not many restaurants offer Omni pork!

I came here for restaurant week and would recommend having a reservation for groups. I got the Berkshire pork cutlet, Mochiko Chicken Loco Moco, and the pineapple upside down cake. The food was tasty and good quality but if I could go back I would have chosen a lighter first course. Both the pork and chicken were fried so I wish I chose a different combo of courses that wasn't so heavy. The pineapple upside down cake was delicious but they don't specify if you order it for one person, there's an $8 surcharge. The menu states it's for 2 people but doesn't disclose the additional charge even though 2 other menu items state a supplemental charge. Someone in my group is vegetarian and they didn't have a variety of options to choose from. However, the quality and taste of those courses were good. I also tried the Chocolate huapia sundae, guava cake, and bruleed Hawaiian pineapple. I didn't prefer the sundae because of how it was drowning in whipped cream and how salty the crackers were. The guava cake was very flavorful and sweet. The pineapple was delicious but it didn't stand out.Overall the food was good quality and filling but not mind blowing enough to come back again.

Had the restaurant week special and it was awesome. Especially enjoyed the tuna poke appetizer and the pineapple upside down dessert. The wine paring was good as well. Thanks to my daughter for her recommendations.

I ordered take out from here and the experience was very smooth. The name, Noreetuh, is the Korean word for playground, which is interesting only because it's a Hawaiian place. So don't come here expecting Korean food!I got 2 musubis: the spicy tuna and the galbi. They were both very good and warm. I think the price is reasonable. It's as if you got a sushi roll but it's in a musubi form. For the entree, I got the grilled chicken teriyaki bowl which was smaller than I expected for 17 dollars but it was very delicious! I brought my leftovers (the musubis really filled me) to work the next day and as the food was getting microwaved, the delicious aroma brought in a lot of attention!

came with a few friends for restaurant week sunday brunch -- great service, solid food (great desserts) a bit pricey for what it is though imo. restaurant week deal is 3 course (app, entree, dessert) for $45 (came out to ~$56 with tax and tip).app: tuna poke bowl was solid (8/10)! pretty good fish quality and the seaweed tasted great too. nothing like the poke in hawaii but not bad for sureentree: garlic shrimp bowl was also solid (7.5/10) a bit small portion but the rice was super fluffy and the shrimp was well-seasoned. tried my friend's mochiko chicken loco moco and that was really good!! i honestly liked it more (8.5/10)dessert: i would rank as pineapple upside down cake (9/10), guava cake (8.5/10), haupia pie (8/10).overall solid food but nothing mind blowing, portions were a bit small and prices were a bit high. service was very nice though and the interior is very cute!

Our party of four dined here recently (reservations definitely required!) and loved every bite. We happily shared appetizers and mains between the four of us, which was a great way to experience all the marvelous flavors this little restaurant has to offer. The musubi appetizers are a must. Friendly service rounded out an all-around excellent dinner.

Came here based on recs from a friend and was happy I tried this place!Turns out it happened to be restaurant week when I came so I was thrilled to be able to try their menu. Came with a friend so was able to try a good amount of the food here. For the appetizers, we got the pork katsu and the tuna belly. The pork katsu was quite big and cooked well. Pretty tasty. The tuna belly was well cooked, soft and tender, but to be honest wasn't my favorite dish. Tasted a bit like chicken, but in this context wasn't the best combination because this would essentially equate to eating a plate of sliced grilled chicken. Maybe just not my thing! Next, we had the garlic shrimp bowl which I had been recommended by others. It hit the spot - the rice was cooked well (not mushy but not too hard either, nice and airy), the garlicky and buttery flavor profile of the dish permeated throughout the entire bowl, and the shrimp was large, numerous, and tender! Then came the wagyu steak. Delicious! So tender. Perfectly cooked. But then came the dish that changed the whole meal. The upside down pineapple cake was probably one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Freshly baked (we waited for a bit after our entrees for it but so so so worth it), warm, sweet, crunchy edges, warm pineapple, delicious ice cream. We were so full after the entrees but managed to devour the cake immediately. Service was friendly and very attentive. We tried a few of the lychee cocktails which were sweet and tasty as well. Come here for the pineapple cake!! It's amazing.

We started off with some soju gimlets and a lychee highball, I definitely preferred the latter since I have an affinity for sweets. Go for the soju gimlet if you like something more puckery. The musubi was everything I dreamed it would, and then more. We got the spam and the braised short rib -- while both were great, the latter knocked the former out of the park. The garlic shrimp bowl was great as well -- nice flavor combo, though nothing too memorable. The brûléed pineapple, however, is something I will never forget. You must get it. And don't forget to ask your server to take a photo of your table on a Polaroid, so you can hang up your photo on the wall!

Guess I had higher expectations for this place but I feel like the food was just okay for how expensive it was and how small the portions were. The musubis were good but $6 for a regular spam one? I can't really justify that. The fried rice was average and after several dishes and still not feeling full, we got the friend chicken as well, which maybe should have gone first. The restaurant itself is a little small and the tables are close together, so be prepared to possibly hear some of your neighbor's conversations.
