    I had a mixed experience at Nokko. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight of the restaurant--the vibe is stylish, welcoming, and great for a night out. The service was also very good, with friendly and attentive staff throughout our visit. However, I was disappointed by the portion sizes, which felt quite small for the price. The mocktails were enjoyable, but they seemed overpriced compared to what was offered.

    Came on a Friday night around 5:30pm with a group of four and was seated right away. The space isn't too small or too big, but I would recommend making a reservation if you can, because it definitely filled up by the time we left. I got the green zero non-alcoholic drink, which I really enjoyed, and the four hand roll combo. With the sides, it was definitely pretty filling so it felt like a good value to me. I opted for an unagi roll, which is always my go-to, and Nokko didn't disappoint. For dessert I also got a taiyaki ice cream. Overall I really enjoyed my meal. The space is beautiful and the service is great. I would definitely come back!

    Nokko House is such an exciting new addition to the area. The service was phenomenal, especially for a newer restaurant, and everything we ordered was flawless. The vibe is very cool and zen, and it's surprisingly kid friendly without losing that elevated feel. Reservations would be advised because it could be a long wait without one. The hand roll sushi is so much fun and such a unique offering. The combos make it easy to try different temaki and everything was fresh and delicious. We also tried the Ichiban frozen beer and it was awesome, really unique and definitely worth ordering. The cocktails were great too. Food-wise, the udon was a standout. The broth was probably the best I've ever had. The chicken tempura was fantastic, light, crisp, and so flavorful. The salmon tartare was to die for and perfect for sharing. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion.

    Tucked away at the end of a small strip mall with other restaurant lives Nokko House. The space is modern elevated with shiny dark blue subway tile contrasted with the grey concrete. There is limited seating inside and bar seating at the sushi counter and bar. This a full wait service style unlike the restaurant's sister store Okome House which is counter service. Large patio so likely more space in the spring. There is a small parking lot in the front but all the spaces were full when we went around 6:30pm. Reservations are recommended but looks like they also do togo orders now as well. The menu is straight forward but for those sushi lovers out there like me the roll combo is a great go to. The fish is cubed, fresh and flavorful. In order my favorite rolls were Yellow tail, hotate scallop; snow crab; salmon. I normally love salmon but this salmon was a different in a way that it seemed milder and leaner. Nevertheless the rice and avocado were on point. Take note to pull off the plastic before eating that preserves the crispiness of the nori. The Tori tempura appetizer was light and crispy as the chicken is lightly seasoned and succulent. Friends had the soba which they said was great and the Chirashi bowl which once again had cubed fish. the Ebi tendon looked delicious so will likely be back to try that!

    I wanted to try this place for drinks and food for some time! We unfortunately came after dinner so we only tried their drinks. But they had very yummy twists on classic cocktails, using one of my favorite Japanese gin. I enjoyed both cocktails immensely! It was also a fun treat to try the frozen beer on draft which is the only place in Minnesota where you could try this beer. The food smelled incredible and I will definitely be back to try some of our hand rolls!

    I met up with my friend for our monthly dinner. I saw this restaurant on Instagram and had to come try it. Reservations recommended here, they do get busy on weekends. Small restaurant but I can tell they utilize the space. They even have a patio for warmer months. Server was great, he explained about the dishes on the menu and gave recommendations.

    This was the 3 hand roll meal combo. Such a perfect meal for a totally reasonable price! Includes rename, a really great salad AND miso soup

In fact a neighbor across from the patio was literally painting his white picket fence! So, it's a unique setup for a mpls brewery taproom from the start. I walked in and was assaulted by a sickeningly sweet smell. Not sure if that's them brewing up their beet beer (beet beer--WHY?!) We both ordered the Saison. It had decent belgian notes but it was half-flat and a little sweet for my taste. It's nice they have a patio but it's beset by constant traffic from 44th St on one side and a parking lot with porta pottys on the other. Not exactly getting any fresh air. Moreover, the seating at picnic tables and high tops with cheap un-cushioned bar stools felt pretty half assed but that went along with the overall theme. They allow outside food and had a food truck operating when we went there which was a plus. Ultimately neither one of us were thrilled with our first tap so we bailed. Can't speak on the entire tap line but unlikely we will come back unless our friends ask us to. So almost nearly there in every respect but not quite. 3.75/5 rounding up to 4.

    Pretty space! We had trouble with parking as our reservation was before 6pm when valet starts (we…read morehad tickets for a 7pm show). We went into the lot and all the restaurant spots were blocked off, after a call they cleared one. Started with bacon wrapped dates, which were good. My husband and I both ordered the filet medium, it came out medium well at best (very little pink). The potato puree was great!

    This place is a hidden gem, but make sure you plan ahead to get there. Their website says that they…read morehave 10 parking spots dedicated for the restaurant, but that isn't completely true. We got to the parking garage, lots of spots left for the restaurant but there was a valet there and said all those spots are actually reserved for the valet. We ended up parking across the street near the lake. Once inside, it's a very nice vibe with beautiful furniture and lots of natural light. They have great happy hour menu - we started with the shrimp appetizer which as flavorful and the shrimp was plump and well cooked. We also got the burger and the Waterbury salad. Burger was good, but the salad was a bit basic; I was expecting more bacon and more blue cheese dressing, it was mostly just basic iceberg lettuce which is not awesome for $13. I also tried the Hugo spritz which was refreshing but a bit sweet for my taste. I will for some come back to try more things!

The holiday pop-up was definitely worth a visit, but I don't think I would go out of my way to dine here for the normal menu. From the normal menu, the Ultimate burger was good but not outstanding. The truffle fries were crispy and the truffle flavor was not overpowering. The milkshake was creamy and not too sweet. The best bite was the house salad-- the crispy lil bacon and almond bits were a great texture contrast and the sherry vinaigrette was light. From the Red Nose Room menu, the Cranberry Spritzer mocktail was sweet and tart. I would've liked a little more dilution. The Cheese Fondue was fun for the novelty, but the flavor was a little bland and the fondue could've been more warm.

Thankfully there was a dedicated parking area and we were early enough that it wasn't an issue. We got there on time and they got our tables together. Immediately upon entering, it's like a Christmas snow globe and everything in-between. The decorations were great and the servers were dressed up too. Our server was welcoming and explained our options. The space wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday lunch and we ordered drinks and appetizers. It came out but we noticed it was almost an hour since we arrived and we haven't gotten a chance to order our main dishes yet. We flagged down our server and she said she would be back to assist. Unfortunately some of our team members were running short on time not anticipating the delay, so some had to order to-go. The food came out in a reasonable time after we placed our orders and everything else went smoothly thereafter. My So Cal Burger impossible patty was slightly overcooked and dry. The fries were nicely crispy. Overall the ambiance was perfect for our holiday celebration.
