    My family and I enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Noko. From start to finish, the service and food could not have been better! Standouts on the menu are the blue fin tuna crudo, tuna crispy rice and the wagyu brisket, but we enjoyed it all. I am already planning a return visit!

    We had an unforgettable experience here. Travelled from the UK and came here specially and it did not disappoint! We had exceptional service, the staff were super attentive and a special shout out to Tyler for his great recommendations. The food was divine - definitely get the Dole Whip for dessert. Would recommend to anyone visiting Nashville!

    Great service and exceptional food. We followed our server recommendation and tried about 6 items from the menu, every single one was delicious and carefully plated. Definitely would recommend!

    Hands down best food we had in Nashville. We ordered 12 dishes and everything was outstanding. Our waiter went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience.

    Overall, a really great dining experience. The menu is a little limited for those with dietary restrictions, but the food is delicious and presented well. The service is very personable and efficient! It’s worth the wait to get a reservation.

    This was our first go at NOKO. I have know about it for awhile but never ventured out there until my other half wanted it for a bday dinner. Sadly I’m bad with names but our server and everyone else that stopped by our table was on point and on the ball! The food was so good I didn’t have one favorite dish out of the one I tried. They were all exceptional except for then lobster boa. It wasn’t for me but Im sure others enjoy it. Our server told us usually ppl get about 3 dishes each and she was exactly right. I was full after the 6 dishes we shared between us. The table beside me got the Tomahawk and now I have to go back and get it. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. It’s small plates but it’s like normal small plates. They give you plenty of food you come hungry and leave satisfied .
