Inside the Tetra hotel, Nokori is a high end bar and restaurant. We came for drinks on a Wednesday night and there weren't that many people. There was a large group and then there weren't a few tables of smaller 2-4 people group. We didn't order food, only a side of fries so can't really comment on their food. But drinks were reasonably priced for the ambiance. The wine I had was a generous pour. Ambiance was great- is hard to find a nice place for drinks in Sunnyvale. This place is large and airy, we will definitely come back to try their food.

Went to Nokori to check it out end of last year, was impressed, but somehow keep forgetting to post the review. It was featured on KQED local station as an elegant late night hotel bar with izakaya style bites. Nokori is an elegant modern Japanese whisky bar nested inside the modern chic Sunnyvale TETRA Hotel (a stylish boutique hotel, right next to Marriott's AC). It opens late into midnight at times. A signature drink is the Japanese whisky highball. It offers well selected whiskey, and cocktails with shoju with Japanese / Asian inspired flavors. This place has great Japanese-style impeccable attention to details: crystal clear Japanese style ice , extra sparkling fizz for the high balls. Even the non-alcoholic highball is dozed with extra sparkling fizz. We enjoyed it. This location is in the heart of Silicon Valley among Google Cloud buildings and famous tech companies. The customers range from hotel goers, tech workers, Googlers, Bay Area startup people discussing IPOs (overheard during our visit) and apparently food writers (from KQED). It way exceeds the standard of a Marriott hotel bar, and is worth a dedicated visit. Park at the parking garage opposite side of the hotel, shares the same parking structure. It offers izakaya style menu, serves small bites, tapas / dishes in the style of Japanese drinking bars. There is a limit number of intimate counter spaces at the bar, but plenty of tables further away from the bar, a spanning view of the lobby and its modern designs. There's also a glass window view of the garden pathway (the winter Christmas decoration was visible from the window was quite pretty). The bar specializes in fancy Japanese whiskeys and highball cocktails, flavored with modern craft cocktail choices and some Japanese inspired choices - shiso, cucumber. We tried Torched Hokkaido Scallops, Nokori Chicken Karaage, Chowa Highball, Far East Side, Marsuret Brut. All pretty good. The cocktails are strong. A highball cocktail is basically whisky / shoju, soda water and ice. It is notable they have a soda pump (dispenser) so the bubbles (extra fizzy) are strong (great) and the ice is crystal clear - Japanese cocktail style beautiful, clear ice, melts slowly, tastes good. KQED explains that a highball is made of Japanese whisky soda water and ice. I have noticed the soda was extra extra fizzy and indeed KQED explains that it installed special Japanese soda dispensers. Even when I didn't know, I thought the drinks were excellently fizzy - for someone who likes sparkling water and fizzy drinks, it was immediately notable! And the ice is crystal clear Japanese style cocktail ice. This highball experience is impressive. We ordered the scallops, delicious, the sauce was miso but a bit too salty. The famous chicken karaage fried chicken is golden, light, crispy, needed a bit more seasoning, but it's hard to find good chicken kaarage that's not oily these days so I can definitely see why the food writers liked it. Overall the menu is worth a try. Love the design, ambience, the modern interiors, beautiful selection of whiskeys, reminds me a lot of Tokyo. They carry a good, high end selection of Japanese whiskeys, though I don't know much about it, I can see there are various vintages present, and some of them with a good age / vintage. There are also wines available, and sparkling by the glass. The non alcoholic options are also sophisticated

TL;DR: ambience is great, drinks were meh and pricey, service was ok, make sure you validate your parking ticket! I had a dinner appointment in Sunnyvale on a Saturday evening so I was looking around for a pre-dinner drink spot. This bar has a lot of really stellar reviews so I was excited to check it out. Originally, I was hoping to go to the AC hotel gin bar and called the hotel to check if they were open and offering validated parking, and they said yes. However, when I arrived at the bar, they told me that the bartender wasn't working that day which was really confusing because I had only called about the bar 30 mins before. Nevertheless, they kindly redirected me to Nokori and told me to try their "fantastic" high balls. I love Japanese bars. This spot touts itself as one but I'm not entirely sure that's accurate though they do have a lot of Japanese whiskies available. It's located in the lobby area of the Tetra hotel which looks very new, and has a nice vibe and ambience - basically new and fancy. We sat at the bar and ordered our drinks. I had a bit of a sticker shock when I received the menu, $18 for a high ball?! This better blow my mind. I didn't order any food but I did see some other patrons who did. The cocktails were... Fine. They didn't impress me. I got one with gin and hibiscus, the other was a yuzu whisky cocktail. They were both kind of mild in flavor, with no real punch to them. The yuzu cocktail didn't have much of a yuzu flavor, and the highball didn't come with a fancy Japanese ice cube which I saw some other patrons getting so maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I usually get two drinks at any bar I go to so I can sample the variety available but I was done after one here. I read that parking can be exorbitant so make sure you get your parking ticket validated with the bartender!

Swanky bar with stunning cocktails. My friend and I ordered - east meets west cocktail: DIVINE, never has bourbon and honey and matcha and lemon tasted so good. Also generous size! - one of the plum based cocktails which was light and effervescent - furikake fries: yummy and a generous serving - lobster sando: so rich and tasty but you should split this as it's heavy - fried shrimp: yummy but only came with 3 pieces The drinks were incredible and I want to try more but most of the food besides the fries were not worth the price given serving size Logistics: - park in the hotel parking garage next door, but make sure to get the bar to validate your parking else it would have been $15 for 2.5 hours! - Don't confuse Nokori with the almost identical looking hotel bar next to the check in desk - walk across the breezeway to get here - indoor seating only - at least one vegetarian option available

What a pretty place to be! I think it's still new so it feels very empty, but the food and drinks were great. They have a decent selection of Japanese whiskeys, and if you're nice, the bartender even pours a tiny bit for you to taste before you commit. I highly recommend Nikka Coffey malt. Avoid some selections like Suntory Ao - they charge an arm and a leg here for a below average whiskey. Some are more worth it than others. This is what we ordered: Scallops: 4/5. Extremely fresh and tasty. A tad too salty and sweet but it was good! Crispy shrimp: 3/5. A bit too much sweet mayonnaise and batter. Lettuce wrap: 3.5/5. Not enough tofu or lettuce to balance it out. Shishito peppers: 4/5 if you like shishito! It's in a very light tempura batter. Would have been better with something to dip it in. Cocktails were on the sweeter side but they use good ingredients.

I never got to sample any of their cocktails but their Wagyu burger was amazing! We'd heard quite a bit about from others thru Yelp and decided to try for ourselves. If there is one food item on their menu that I would come back for regardless if I'm a guest at the Tetra or not - it would definitely be the Wagyu Burger. So good!

Met up the a friend for a drink after work one evening. Nokori is a swanky Japanese bar apart of the Marriott Tetra hotel, but you don't have to be a guest to enjoy. You can park in the garage across from the building and the bartenders will validate your parking if you ask. Service was pretty laid back, which was nice because I was able to hold a conversation without constant interruptions. I didn't try any of the food this time but I delightfully sipped on a Yuzu highball. The flavors were nicely balanced and the artisanal ice was a nice addition. I'd consider returning to try other highballs and explore the food menu.

My friend and I are whiskey connoisseurs. When we heard about a Japanese whiskey bar, we were naturally inclined to visit. Although we focus mostly on single malt Scotch, I have bought a few bottles of Japanese whiskies, especially Suntory Toki for making highballs. We were told that this place is usually quiet on Friday and Saturday nights because this hotel was mostly for business people (Google?) Nope, the place was almost full on a Friday night! We were lucky to have seats at the bar. The lady next to me said she read an article on SFGate that described this place. We were full from dinner so no food or munchies. We wanted to start with a clean tasting of Japanese whiskey so we got Kaiyo cask strength (53% ABV). Cask strength means no water was added to reduce the ABV percentage. The alcohol was definitely way more pronounced and I felt that it overpowered the whiskey. The flavor did remind me of Glenlivet Scotch. We then moved on to cocktails. As a home bartender, I was interested in the Asian-inspired cocktails they had. I ordered a Panda Fizz (Nikka Japanese vodka, pear, calpico, lemon, soda) but was disappointed. Vodka already didn't have much taste and the calpico (a Japanese flavored soda) dominated. I couldn't taste any peach but I did see a slice of lemon in my drink. I wouldn't order it again. My friend got the Far East Side (Nikka Japanese gin, shishito, dry vermouth, lime, mint, cucumber, soda). The gin was very faint, and the mint and cucumber were pronounced. He wasn't impressed with his drink either. Feeling disappointed, I was ready to leave, but I saw my friend's expression that he wanted... no, he NEEDED something else to redeem this experience. Always a good friend, I decided to get another drink with him. I ordered a Yuzu old fashioned. Old fashioned is my go-to drink. It's tried and true and hard to mess up. Indeed, that was my favorite drink. Perhaps I'd use a whiskey that's a bit stronger. I found yuzu marmalade on Amazon. Think I'd buy a jar from a Japanese supermarket to make my own. My friend got a Shot and a Beer. The shot was Nikka Days and the beer was a Peruvian lager called Lagarita. He quickly dumped the shot into the beer to consume it. He liked it, but felt something was missing. He asked for a lime wedge and that indeed gave it a little pop. With that extra dimension, it became a great drink. We saw this peculiar looking bottle that had a bell on it. We found out this was the bartender Sergio's favorite tequila called Clase Azul. It's a reposado tequila. It's smooth with sweet, spicy and salty notes at the same time. I'm not sure why tequila would taste salty, but this was my second reposado that had salty tastes. Given our experience in whiskies and cocktails, many of these drinks were not great. It was the company and the bartender that made the experience better. Not anxious to come back anytime soon, but perhaps I'd give this place another chance.

I'd like to base my review on the service and the experience(snowglobes) because the food was just ok in my opinion but the hotel service was great. The fries were great, but my lobster sando and tempura shrimp tasted very plain. The hotel/restaurant staff were all very friendly though and I appreciated how they offered the free hot cocoa and smores at the fire pit area. The hot cocoa was actually very good. They added some spices or something to it. The whole experience was nice and cozy and the snow machine was a nice touch. Initially, I thought the snowglobe experience was being serviced with their other restaurant Adrestia and their food looked pretty good. We might be back to try Adrestia next time :)

This part of the South Bay is lacking nice bars where you can chill and soak in the ambiance. Nokori fills that niche pretty well. We went a bit before closing and there were and handful or so of people there. Their Old Fashioned didn't really remind me of one too much, but I still enjoyed it. This place would be great after work or to start or end the night.
