    Third time going to Noka and it's only getting better. This may seem out of the ordinary, but when available reserve seats at the bar. Yes the bar. The service was impressive to say the least. Our main bartender was a gentleman named Dillon who was on point. The other bartenders were just as professional as well. As for the food, we haven't had a bad plate yet. Suzuki crunch, salt& pepper calamari are a must for great starters. Also the Kra pao fried rice and waguy burger are winners. I guess on our fourth visit we'll try the miso cod. They guy next to me ate it so fast I didn't have a chance to ask how it was.

    Fun place, very dark and cold in the restaurant. The food was pretty good. They’re more about the vibes than anything else.

    Sat at chef’s counter and loved it. Everything we had was delicious and Chef Megan gifted us a crispy rice tuna appetizer. It was fun to see all the different food come out of the kitchen. Drinks were solid and our waitress was great at recommending some off-menu options based on our taste.

    Absolutely amazing experience. Such a great vibe but fantastic food to match. Variety of dishes to choose from and they all look like pieces of art. Kelly our server was attentive and really friendly. Her recommendations knocked it out of the park. As a visitor from Canada this will be a spot I will recommend in future!

    Just had an incredible experience at Noka Restaurant and WOW, my taste buds are still dancing! 💃✨ From the succulent sushi and mussels to the mouthwatering nagiri scallops and perfectly cooked salmon, each bite was a flavor explosion! The cod? Simply divine! 😍 Desserts that are nothing short of heavenly finished off our meal—seriously, don’t skip them! 🍰✨ And let’s talk about the drinks: the best cocktails and the amazing espresso martinis I’ve ever had! ☕🍸 The ambiance felt like a cozy hug, making me feel right at home. 🏡❤️ If you're in Kansas City and craving an unforgettable dining experience, Noka is top of the list! Trust me, you won't regret it! 🙌💕
