    Although I thought we were going to a sushi restaurant (not enough research on my part) we were all pleased with our meals. Drinks were great too! Service was wonderful. Celebrated a birthday and the birthday boy felt very special.

    I've been trying to get reservations here since the fall (I'm a day ahead reservation type person). So when I realized how far Noko books out, I decided to just get reservations for my birthday in January. Well, it was worth the wait! After a stressful parking experience, they made sure to turn our night around and destress us! June's Elixer is my new absolute favorite cocktail. The blue fin tuna crudo and burnt end lettuce wraps were our favorites. Make sure you save room for the brookie AND coconut cake. They are both worth it. Thanks for a great night Noko!

    This is the second time we’ve been to Noko and it has not disappointed. First thing I tell people about this place is definitely make a reservation. It has such a lovely warm but still modern ambience; and it’s small which makes it feel more intimate than other dining experiences - but a reservation is quite necessary because of this. The servers are always kind and welcoming and are happy to guide you through the menu. The menu is built to be shareable which is something I have come to quite enjoy doing at every restaurant but Noko makes it easy and convenient to try all kinds of food you may not have tried otherwise. Each bite is packed with flavor and I promise you’ll be full by the end - but make sure to save room for desert! Each item just seems to be so carefully curated and it is simply a lovely experience each time we have gone. We look forward to our next visit.

    Service, food, ambiance. All excellent. Had been trying to get in here for a few weeks and last night made the wait worth it. My wife and I ordered 6 dishes in total, which we felt was the right amount given how tantalizing the menu is. The owner came out at the end of the meal to chat with us, which was a really nice touch. Looking forward to coming back here and to try the new omakase offering.
