    Four of us dined there for my wife's birthday. We had some difficulty finding the place since the exterior signage is very subtle. The owner visited our table and told us that was intentional and part of the "speakeasy" motif. The food was excellent as was the service. This is one of the nicest restaurants in KC.

    Noka was an amazing experience from entering into the restaurant to finishing our last bite of food. The food was delicious and we tried a bit of everything from the restaurant week menu; everything was impeccably plated and divine! No detail was spared in creating this beautiful space. Absolutely loved it and cannot wait return time and time again. In addition to the food, the service was friendly and professional. From our waitress who was cheerful and warm, to the owner who stopped by to chat with us frequently, they made us feel welcomed and connected to this space.

    Ok so my first experience at NOKA was not the best. I thought the food was bland/blah/meh. I must have got all the wrong items because my experience this time was outstanding!!!!!!! After my first time I was like “k idk what the hype is but I’ll go for drinks and dessert again!” Went for their “restaurant week” 3 course menu and got a couple extra items and it was just so so delicious. Edamame toast, all the rolls, FIRE. Can’t wait to go again

    Gia, We are so happy you decided to give us another go - and we are so pleased we were able to “WOW” Restraunt week is such a good opportunity to try a little bit of everything on our menu, and we are so pleased you found some new favorites! Cannot wait for the next time you decide to stop by! Thanks again, - The Noka Team
