    I celebrated my birthday at Noka and had a beautiful experience. The food was incredible. I had the Wagyu burger and it was cooked to perfection. The drinks were also amazing, with the Lychee being my favorite. The chef/owner is as gifted as he is charming. A true gem. He has cultivated a beautiful environment where everyone was so kind and gracious. I always feel so welcomed here. Do yourself a favor and try it. You won’t be disappointed. It’s my happy place. 😊

    We had the best experience at Noka. We sat at the chefs counter and actually ended up chatting with the owner and hearing about the history of his restaurant and some other restaurants he’s opened. The food was amazing, by far the best sushi, nigiri and cod in Kansas City. Also the pork shank was fall off the bone. SO good! Noka is our new favorite restaurant.

    My first comment to my husband upon walking in was that the restaurant feels like New York or somewhere other than Kansas City. It's such a cool place with a warm vibe. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. We will look forward to returning again in the not-too-distant future. Truly a wonderful experience.

    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!
