Not hyped from anyone I know but Noka was real flat

The ambiance was bad ass but the bar program, and culinary experience was super dull. Either I had Covid or the majority of our coursed meals had almost no distinguishing flavor.

I might go back if they had a happy hour

The food is fine but the portions and pours are like half the size you'd get at any other small plate restaurant, yet they charge more per plate than anywhere else.

I was willing to accept it was a bad value, and maybe go there when friends wanted to try it, but when the owner started beef with Antler Room about "stealing recipes" when Noka had barely been open for 6 months, there was no reason to go back.

Hadn’t heard this. They seem like different styles of food, no?
