The closer we are to nature, the greater our gift of taste. The more we support farmers, the stronger we become as a community. Where there is sky, we will grow.

NOKA by Open Farm Community, a celebration of the riches provided by nature, from the carefully cultivated greenery of this beautiful garden city to the bountiful waters and pastures surrounding Niigata in Japan, birthplace of Head Chef Takuma Seki.
By skilfully marrying local ingredients with Japanese cooking techniques Chef Seki hopes to bring a new level of appreciation for produce that can thrive in a densely populated metropolis.
Inspiration begins here in Southeast Asia's first urban rooftop farm where more than 50 types of fruits, flowers, herbs and vegetables are grown, all blissfully pesticide free. Infused with microgreens, basil, Mexican tarragon and blue pea flowers lovingly tended by the farmers of Edible Garden City, NOKA dishes dance to a joyous rhythm.
We embrace the ethical approach pioneered by Open Farm Community, our sister restaurant in Dempsey, and consider it our duty to reconnect you to food, to flavour, to soil and sea. Infinite respect for the planet means we make every effort to limit single-use plastics and recycle diligently while keeping water and energy consumption to a minimum. Waste is the enemy of taste.
