My beautiful girls took me out for my birthday yesterday at Noko. To be honest, I was quite surprised on how wonderful the staffs are especially our server, Gavin. He was very attentive and so sweet, he went above and beyond to make my birthday special. At the end of our dinner, he even surprised me with three different flavor ice-cream. We had Dole Whip, Ube and Pandan, they were so yummy! If you come to Nashville I highly recommend you try them out, you will not be disappointed.

Came for brunch on my birthday. Our server, Kori, went above and beyond to make the experience special. The food was amazing, easily one of the best meals I've had in Nashville. The salmon carpaccio and hamachi crudo were the best fish I've had in Nashville hands down, and the burnt ends bowl and steak and eggs were delicious. The brookie with the miso caramel was relavatory, a very unique and craveable dessert. I would go back just to eat the brookie again. The drinks were great, too! Can't recommend this place enough!
Unique and tasty dishes , great friendly service . Definitely will return

One of the best dinners I’ve had. From the friendliness we were greeted with at the door, to the speed of receiving of our food. Then EVERY BITE was exploding with flavor. We loved everything we tried. I couldn’t come up with something to complain about if I tried!

We came from New Jersey to Nashville for vacation, we tried a new dinner place and it was absolutely phenomenal. The food, drinks, hostess, service, the ambience, everything and everyone was amazing. Must try this place if you’re coming to the area! They brought us a complimentary plate for it being our first time there which was so nice. If we ever come back to TN, we will come back here. Still thinking about our experience to this day!
Absolutely amazing food, outstanding service, and beautiful atmosphere. We ordered several things off the menu and everything was so delicious. The drinks are amazing too! Definitely will be back.
Our waiter Aaron was exceptional. The food was incredible. We will absolutely be back. We had dumplings, crab fried rice, smoked vegetable platter, smoked chicken and spicy string beans. Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned and expertly presented.

We had high hopes for this place and heard a few good things, but those expectations were far from met. We ordered spicy tuna crispy rice, grilled chicken, dumplings, and crab fried rice. Of that, only the fried rice and dumplings were good. We wouldn’t have eaten the spicy tuna crispy rice and grilled chicken if they were offered free of charge; they tasted like they sat under a heat lamp for hours, which is a major bummer.
The service staff was extremely friendly, but it took longer than normal to get someone’s attention each time. It was so bad, that we both gave up and had to just rely on our server coming back to us in 10-20 minutes.
TLDR: Is it worthwhile? Maybe. Just stay clear of smaller items and chicken. Also try and sit close to the POS system so that the staff sees you need help.

We had a great time at Noko for my wife’s 30th birthday. Almost anyone who came by the table asked whose birthday it was and wished her a happy birthday. We had the tuna crispy rice, lobster bao buns, edamame, wings, wagyu brisket, and hurricane fries. Everything was incredible.
This Asian-inspired, wood-fired restaurant in the heart of East Nashville is an absolute gem! The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Our experience was made even better thanks to our server, Kori — she was not only incredibly friendly but also highly knowledgeable about the dishes and cocktails, helping to elevate our entire dining experience. If you’re in Tennessee and looking for a memorable meal, I highly recommend Noko!
It’s been a while since I do a review but this restaurant deserves a review and more! We absolutely loved it. Everything was delicious, amazing costumer service, and great indoor and outdoor atmosphere! We went to the restaurant for fried rice and poke bowl. Yesterday, they ran out of the tuna for the poke bowl but offer to make it with Salmon! As we waited for our poke bowl we were surprised with Tuna Crispy Rice! And we were so happy they gave that to us because it was the best dish there! Extremely delicious! We then got the fries, fried rice, and poke bowl we had ordered, and they were also amazing!! We told the server that we had originally went there for the Dole Whip but we were so full that we were going to skip it! 🥹🥲 they still surprised us with the dole whip at the end! And it was also very worth it!
We noticed on the website they have the restaurant core values and how the staff it’s treated and that made us happy! This is the first restaurant where I see those core values being fully integrated into their service! We have been to many restaurants and we left 100% knowing this is now #1 on our list! Thank you for the great time and food! Hope Noko continues to get even better with time 🖤
