Missed my reservation time by about 20 minutes due to traffic. Nashville can be like that. I appreciate the promptness of being able to get another seating. The spicy tuna crispy rice and the tempura mushrooms were both divine. My favorite flavor was definitely the yellowfin with charred banana peppers. We had a wonderful evening with perfect weather to enjoy the patio.

Everything was terrific! From making a reservation (thank you!!) to the greeting, service and food, all simply sensational. We loved everything we ordered—the three options of onigiri, the egg salad Sando with roe, the yellow tail collar and the beef udon. Truly sensational!!

    Holy moly, such a lovely experience. The intimate space, welcoming staff and phenomenal food all lead me to a glowing 5 star review. Our server, Mo, gave wonderful recommendation we cross reference with so many reviews and she lead us beautifully. You can see all we got below, my favorite was the burnt end lettuce wraps. I could have left the potatoes but only because they were last and I was so full. My husband's favorite was the hamachi crudo. He could have left the potatoes but he's neutral on potatoes. The coconut cake is an absolute must - best desert in Nashville.

    Kase x Noko was an absolute 10/10 experience! The food and service were exceptional from start to finish. The value is hard to beat for a 14-course experience, and every course was fantastic. The music creates such a fun, vibey atmosphere, the drinks are great, and the overall experience is just so well done. Between the food, ambiance, service, and price point, this place checks every box. Already looking forward to going back!
