    This was our third or fourth time dining here and unfortunately, we were really disappointed in the service this time. The food was all so good but the service is going to deter us from dining here again. We were seated for our 9 pm reservation and it took 20+ minutes before someone came and took our drink orders. Then a waitress noticed we weren’t helped yet and comped our first round of drinks. We asked for 4 dirty martinis on their menu that come with a side of chips, none of ours came with them and then felt bad for saying anything since she comped them. The first few food items came out super fast and we have no complaints related to that but as time went on, we felt like we were being rushed out of there. Plates were taken before we were done and we wouldn’t be asked if we were done or we said we were still working on something and they waited at our table until we took the last bite so she could take the plate. We were so confused and they weren’t even busy since it was getting closer to closing time.

    First time visit. Food was exquisite! Suzuki Crunch was the bomb!! The atmosphere was trendy and peaceful. The door to enter the restaurant was a challenge. It would be interesting to look at security tape to see people navigating entering the restaurant the first time. It may be good for a few laughs.

    This was our first time to Noka and everything was fantastic. The salt and pepper calamari was tender and cooked very well, for our entrees we had the miso cod and the filet. The miso cod was one of the best dishes I’ve had in Kansas City in some time! We had the brownie for dessert and it melted in our mouth. So good! Will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    Always outstanding! First time trying the gator roll and the dumplings - great choices! The miso cod never disappoints and the scallops with pasta - Wow! - so flavorful. Ended the night with the togarashi brownie and cheesecake. Can’t wait for next time!

    Food was amazing, service was very good, but seemed like a newer waitress, one item was misheard but was quickly fixed. Ambiance was unique but very enjoyable. Main courses were amazing sushi and apps were very good! Desert choices were somewhat lacking but quality of all other food definitely made up for that! Front door hard to recognize (its by the menu posted outside, pull on the vertical metal beam) All in all it was a great experience and we will definitely be going back soon, again and again
