    We had an amazing experience at Noko! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. The staff was warm and attentive—and to our surprise, they even treated us to complimentary rock shrimp, which was packed with flavor and such a thoughtful touch. Some standout dishes we loved were the prosciutto grilled cheese with truffle (rich and indulgent), dumplings, waygu tartar, the crispy tuna rice (perfect texture and flavor balance), and the burnt beef ends—which don’t get nearly enough recognition. They were smoky, tender, and completely unforgettable. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully executed. We’ll absolutely be back!
