24 Hours Inside A Michelin Star Kitchen: Restaurant Nouri

[@KashArtsKitchen]

Went to nouri to celebrate my wife's birthday today. As a chef myself i would like to commend nouri for fully deserving of the star. Apart from the extensive course of appetizers mains deserts included, the level of professionalism the chef and staff showed was remarkable. Floor staff were natural and quick to break the ice. Awesome introduction to all the food served. Quick on the feet and they made sure every table gets the same treatment. Bear in mind they were full for dinner when i was there. The food was delicious, inspiring and exciting. Altho i felt the lamb tartare could be seasoned better, the crab was a bomb. I could have eaten 5 plates of it. The grouper was perfectly cooked. The lamb was pink to pink. What made my day was when i spotted a slab of lamb being rare instead of m.rare. the staff who is also the lady in the video seth lui posted signing off invoices changed the lamb and made sure m.rare slices were served. That lady deserves an apron in any kitchen. Chef you are lucky to have such a talented lady ! She was working in the grilling station today when i was there. Exceptional precision and speed. The pass was naturally smooth and professional as the chef was coordinating. Green shirt sous chef who was handling scallops and sauces was also on another level. Amazing work done there i can see her dedication to make sure every thing goes well. The seviche was a winner =). Simply amazing considering the price. You get crab, scallops, lamb or beef, wild fish, 2 deserts, tons of appetizers and free flow of amazing sour dough. Love it.

I'm still starting out in the industry and as much as the pressure is, there are so many hilarious people in it. Lots of people tend to do or say random stuff too, I think it helps us all cope with how tired we are from standing and preparing food at least 8 to 10 hours everyday.

I work in this area. You have to look good, open your eyes. they only work with 5 tables.

I'm sure there was a ton of drinking, for all of the staff. Being hungover in a hot kitchen is no fun. In addition - he is right - A lot of chefs don't want that attention - they are overrun with bookings and may not have the capacity to facilitate those needs. Lastly, once a restaurant has a star - the guests expect, even demand, more from them. Their expectations are higher and therefore it is easier for the restaurant to underwhelm because the bar in their mind is set so high before they even walk in the door.
