Nuri Steakhouse sits on Cedar Springs Road in Oak Lawn, opened by owner Wan Kim, whose path ran from South Korea through New Orleans before landing in Dallas. The name "Nuri" translates to "whole world" in Korean, a reference Kim ties to family, friends, and the city itself.

Nuri has been named to Eater's Essential 38 for Dallas and holds an 8.6 rating from The Infatuation. Regulars and reviewers frequently point to the atmosphere and personalized service alongside the food itself, with the restaurant often cited as a special-occasion destination in the neighborhood.
