During my summer visits through Old Forge I would pass this funky little restaurant called Toka Bocca. Each pass I would be going on their webpage to checkout their eclectic menu. Their menu is a fun read with unique food options names such as "Everyday I'm Trufflin'", "Bong Bong Shrimp" and "Dazed and Confused Sliders" As you can see these names and the vibe of the restaurant has a THC/cannabis theme. Please don't take this place as a dispensary or stoner hangout. Other than the punny names and chill aesthetic there is NO CBC,THC or cannabis in the actual menu items. My wife and I finally made the stop and we were so happy we did! As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by one of the waitstaff who asked if we would like to sit inside or in their side patio. We chose an inside booth. They also had high top tables and chairs along with normal sized tables throughout the smallish sized restaurant which offered a bit more warmth and intimacy than a bigger restaurant with more table selection. The menu is pretty extensive. Entrées ranger from Tacos, burritos, flatbreads, sliders, pasta, rice bowls along with chicken and tuna dishes. Though much is on the menu, I can assure you that everything is freshly prepared and cooked in house while the taste and presentation was spot on. My wife and I decided to order something completely different than what we do after an exhausting but rewarding Adirondack hike. We decided on tacos! I am a HUGE pork belly fan so I opted for the Notorious P.I.G Taco. The pork belly had some crispness along with its flavorful, tender meat. The cucumber and pineapple added a delicious lightness to each bite. Their Tokabocca sauce did not overpower the taco but was more of a compliment. The highlight was definitely the pork belly! My wife enjoyed her chicken tacos as well. I had a couple bites and the chicken was marinated well and cooked perfect. Their Mexican crème was such a delightful topping along with the fresh pico de gallo. The chicken and toppings were between both between hard taco shell and an outer soft shell. This actually made the taco a bit more easier to eat without it falling apart everywhere! I also recommend ordering one of their appetizers. We ordered the Cat Cow. It was fantastic! Fried cauliflower and Brussel sprouts tossed in their Tokabocca sauce, cotija and green onions. Toka Bocca has now become my number one restaurant in the Old Forge region of the Adirondacks. Their menu is mouthwatering and service was attentive. Toka Bocca is actually a newer restaurant to its sister Toka Bocca in Herkimer, NY. Though I haven't visited the Herkimer location the menus are similar with a slight difference in some extra options in Herkimer. We will definitely be back next spring and throughout the summer when are ADK trips take us to or through Old Forge.

Old Forge certainly doesn't have any shortage of great restaurants, all with a unique flavor. TokaBocca is no exception. Their food is unique and very well done with interesting names based on cannabis, but contains none. Seating is limited, but we had no problem being seated on a very busy autumn weekend. We ordered two different rice bowls. I had the Thai, my wife had the Fried chicken. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. Only downside is they do not serve alcohol, but they said we could go next door and grab one at the outdoor bar and bring it back, but we declined.

My wife and I are very low fuss on atmosphere but want quality food. This was an outstanding stop. For the area they offered a lot of interesting options. Our meal, although straight forward was excellent. I'd put it on my recommendation list of you are use to or enjoy more "city style" food options while in the ADKSVegetarian options: Perfect
Such a great place. The food is exquisite. The staff, owners and atmosphere are fun, relaxed and fun. Highly recommend it.

The food and service are fine but the price you pay for what you get is out of line. It's way to expensive for what you get.
