Amazing dinner! Food was delicious. We started with the mussels and caprese salad - both tasty and perfect to share. We also shared the main course of Beef Wellington with a side of asparagus --cooked perfectly! For desert we shared the creme brulee and the mudslide milkshake. Both were rich and creamy. We sampled multiple wines throughout the meal - with options generously provided by Robert. Robert was a wealth of knowledge and incredibly personable. He created the perfect balance of engaged host and gave us room to enjoy our table company as well. We will DEFINITELY make this a regular place.

About the restaurant

Nestled in the heart of East Nashville, Noko is an Asian-inspired, wood-fired restaurant inspired by wanderlust and simplicity of the region. Here, Executive Chef Dung “Junior” Vo aims to perfect the balance of new and old techniques in wood fire cooking, putting his Asian-influenced spins on familiar proteins and indigenous vegetables through smoking, searing, and roasting.

Noko is a gem, and not just a neighborhood gem, but a Nashville gem. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The menu is interesting, the food is fantastic, the servers friendly and top notch. There isn't anything on the menu that won't blow your proverbial mind. This was my second time dining here and both visits were 5 stars. I can't wait to dine there again.
