Noona Meat & Seafood has become one of Gwinnett's standout dining destinations. Named after the Korean word for older sister, Noona blends the traditions of a classic American steakhouse with subtle influences inspired by Korean flavors and culture.
While the owners maintain Asian roots, make no mistake, Noona is a full-fledged steakhouse and seafood restaurant with a creative menu and a wood-burning hearth that produces some of the most memorable dishes in Gwinnett.
The menu features a selection of premium steaks, fresh seafood, and seasonal specialties. Our strip steak was beautifully seasoned and cooked over the wood fire, while additions like shiso and gochujang butter offered a subtle nod to the restaurant's Korean influences.
The side dishes are equally impressive. The fire-roasted cabbage remains a standout, offering a creative take inspired by the flavors of kimchi. Another favorite is the kimchi fried rice topped with a farm egg, making the perfect accompaniment to any entrée.
Noona also offers an extensive wine list, craft cocktails, and a thoughtfully curated beverage program. Located in the heart of Parsons Alley, it's an ideal spot for a date night, special occasion, or an evening out with friends.
What stands out most about Noona is that it never feels like a fusion restaurant trying too hard to combine cuisines. Instead, it remains true to its identity as a steakhouse and seafood restaurant while incorporating subtle influences from the owners' heritage. The result is a dining experience that feels both familiar and unique, making Noona a must-visit destination in Gwinnett's Seoul of the South.
