    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!

    Party of dined on 11-19-24. Was beautiful and cozy atmosphere with friendly host staff and seated promptly. Ordered shortrib potstickers which were very overcooked and had to return. Reordered them a second time and the manager (Gabby) immediately came to table and said she would personally oversee the chef prepare this time. They came back perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. We ordered scallops and rotisserie chicken and both were delicious. Gabby comped us two glasses of bubbly and was very gracious. Definitely going to go back with a larger party next time. Well done and great experience.

    Incredible service from start to finish. We were there to celebrate our anniversary, so our seating was upgraded when we arrived without us even asking. We were also offered complimentary champagne by our waiter, who was extremely knowledgeable about all the items on the menu. Everything we had tasted delicious and the espresso martini was spot on. Possibly the best dining experience I've ever had.
