Brixton Culture Capital 23.01.2025
Best Asian food in brixton is......? and whats on this weekend.
Let’s put you on to NOKO.
Best Asian food in Brixton? It’s in the conversation already. The grilled chicken wings alone are worth the trip — genuinely the best wings I’ve ever had. Noko is a modern Asian fusion with handcrafted noodles, dumplings, crispy fried chicken, robata, and small snacks with twists and much more.
And the cocktails are banging. This is one of those new spots where you go “how did I not know about this?”
If you’re stuck for plans this weekend, go check out NOKO.
