Wagyu from $18 on the menu we read
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
Asian-inspired, wood-fired restaurant in East Nashville from Jon Murray, Wilson Brannock and Executive Chef Dung "Junior" Vo, open since 2023 and named Eater Nashville's Best New Restaurant. The dinner menu sells A5 Wagyu Teppanyaki by the ounce at $25/oz with a 2 oz minimum, a $28 Wagyu Brisket, and uses wagyu fat in the crab fried rice and a cocktail.

Common questions
- Does Noko serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 22, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Noko serve?
- Its menu discloses A5 Japanese. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Noko listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
