Noko is an Asian-inspired, wood-fired restaurant that opened in East Nashville in March 2023, founded by owner Jon Murray, managing partner Wilson Brannock, and executive chef and partner Dung "Junior" Vo (a 2025 James Beard semifinalist). It earned Eater Nashville's Best New Restaurant (2023), spots on OpenTable's Top 100 Restaurants in America (2023 and 2024), and recognition from the New York Times. Alongside its cocktail and sake program, Noko keeps a small but genuine named Zero-Proof section on its own menu. House-made options include the Phony Negroni (Tasmanian pepper berry, cinnamon, juniper, orange essence), The Hero (lychee, hibiscus, yuzu, soda), and Guava Girlies (Seedlip Garden 108, guava, basil, yuzu, serrano), with non-alcoholic wine (Vinada Chardonnay) and an Untitled Art NA IPA rounding out the zero-proof choices.
