NEO JAPANESE DINING EXPERIENCE
NOKATA: A Neo-Japanese Culinary Journey in the Heart of Soho
​
Concept Overview
NOKATA reimagines the future of Japanese dining through a contemporary lens—melding Tokyo’s buzzing street food energy, Kyoto’s refined minimalism, and Osaka’s indulgent culinary trends. Anchored in Soho's vibrant Lexington Street, NOKATA is a multi-sensory destination for food lovers, design aficionados, and cultural explorers.
​
Space & Experience
​
Ground Floor – The Wagyu Grill
A modern all-day Japanese grill, the ground floor introduces guests to the unmatched flavor of Wagyu beef—served in trending forms inspired by Tokyo and Osaka’s current food scene. Expect everything from Wagyu sandos to binchotan-grilled skewers, tartares, and donburis—all executed with flair and focus. The energy is casual yet refined, ideal for lunch, dinner, or a late-night bite.
Lower Ground – The Omakase Hideaway
Below street level lies a hidden 40-seat omakase chamber—designed as an intimate, sensory journey curated by master chefs. After dinner, the space transforms into a discreet, members-style lounge, where Japanese mixology and ambient beats extend the evening into an elegant after-hours experience.
Phase II – The Rooftop Garden
In its next stage, NOKATA will reveal a rooftop sanctuary: a Japanese garden-inspired lounge with open-air dining, sculptural plantings, and a tranquil pool centerpiece. Elevated above Soho, this space will host exclusive seasonal events, pop-up omakase sessions, and curated cultural programming.
​
Design Philosophy
​
NOKATA embodies a bold, modern expression of wabi-sabi—celebrating imperfection, raw materials, and timeless simplicity. Think: sculptural wood and stone, weathered metal accents, natural textures, and negative space used with intention. Each floor expresses a unique energy, but all are tied together by a consistent language of aesthetic harmony and purposeful restraint.
The music of Now with elements of the past from all over the word.
Renown international producers will provide you will the soundtrack to the experience of every night.
Weekly and monthly exclusive events and parties designed to introduce you to an all-new sound taste, will be taking place to elevate the entertainment of our guests.
