About
Noda opened in 2017 on West 20th Street and earned a Michelin star for its spare, focused kaiseki. Chef Junichi Noda studied traditional kaiseki in Japan and designed a menu that evolves closely with the season, using imported Japanese ingredients and a restrained, classical presentation style. The room is deliberately small and quiet, allowing a direct connection between the chef and his guests.
Neighborhood & visiting
Noda sits in Flatiron, one of New York's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused kaiseki counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional kaiseki restaurants often close between service periods.
