    Wonderful meal. One of us has severe allergies to red meat and dairy. She was extremely helpful in researching all ingredients so we could eat safely.

    Noko was fantastic and our waiter Mitch was the man. Really appreciate his knowledge and attention to detail on our entire experience. It was our first time and we will definitely be coming back. My wife and I guy 7 different dishes and Mitch gifted us one he didn’t want us to miss out on. Best of the Best: Tuna Crispy Rice, Lobster Bao Buns, Korean Hot Wings, Brussels Good: Burrata - maybe a little too sweet with the jam. Not our favs: bone marrow, crab fried rice Overall this experience was awesome and the entire menu sounded fire. Great date night spot!

    This is probably the best sushi Nashville has to offer. Better than Virago and for a much better price. The restaurant was super cute and service was great. This is the place for fish in a land locked state.
