Noko Nashville Employees & Ownership
The latest people collection is incomplete. Previously confirmed people remain available with their original dates.
Dung “Junior” VoExecutive Chef & Partner
- As printed As Executive Chef & Partner, Junior Vo leads with quiet intensity — balancing precision and passion at Noko, the Asian-inspired, wood-fired restaurant, and Kase, the intimate 14-seat omakase bar, both located in East Nashville. In 2025, he became the youngest chef in Nashville to be recognized as a James Beard Award semi-finalist, a milestone that reflects his technical mastery and soulful storytelling rooted in his Vietnamese heritage. Born in the coastal city of Nha Trang, Vietnam, Junior grew up watching his family cook over open flames, turning fresh-caught seafood and foraged vegetables into resourceful, nourishing meals — an early influence that still shapes his work today. Junior moved to the U.S. at 12 and began his culinary career while studying at the Art Institute of Atlanta. He trained under Indigo Road Hospitality Group, rising from sushi chef to Sous Chef at O-Ku Atlanta, where he met his future business partners, Jon Murray and Wilson Brannock, before becoming Executive Chef at O-Ku Charleston. In 2022, the three moved to Nashville to open their own concept—a dream years in the making. At Noko, Junior draws from his Vietnamese heritage, Southern influences, and travels across the U.S. to build a wood-fired menu that’s as thoughtful as it is flavorful. At next-door sushi bar Kase, he channels his heritage and technical mastery to craft an approachable, affordable omakase experience focused on intentionality and connection. His leadership style mirrors his cooking philosophy: rooted in respect, driven by curiosity, and grounded in the belief that food is a vessel for growth — for the team, for the guest, and for himself. When he’s not in the kitchen, Junior can be found on the ballroom dance floor, where he competes and trains regularly—yet another outlet to connect, learn, and lead with purpose.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 19, 2026, 7:17 PM UTC

- As printed With Southern roots and a global lens, Jon Murray is reshaping modern hospitality through Noko and Kase—two acclaimed East Nashville restaurants grounded in purpose, creativity, and care. With nearly two decades in the industry, Jon is committed to changing hospitality from the inside out—building people-first workplaces and concept-driven restaurants that challenge industry norms and deliver thoughtful, intentional dining experiences.Jon’s career began in music management, where years of touring sparked a deep appreciation for food as a form of connection. In 2011, he pivoted to hospitality and quickly rose from server to General Manager at celebrated restaurants across the Southeast. By 2019, he was serving as Chief Restaurant Officer at Indigo Road Hospitality Group, overseeing more than 20 concepts and guiding new restaurant openings across the region.In 2023, Jon founded Noko, an Asian-inspired, wood-fired restaurant in East Nashville with Executive Chef Dung “Junior” Vo and Managing Partner Wilson Brannock. Celebrated by Eater and OpenTable as one of the nation’s top restaurants, Noko is guided by a people over profit ethos. Jon has been instrumental in developing an employee betterment program—offered across all their restaurants—that includes four-day workweeks, paid vacation, complimentary therapy and gym memberships, travel stipends, and more. Reflecting his and the team’s strong commitment to community, Noko donates 1% of net profits to the Nashville Children’s Alliance and co-hosts the annual “Dine to Shine” gala that raises vital funds for children affected by abuse. Just next door, Jon and the team opened Kase in 2024, a 14-seat omakase bar focused on affordable luxury—offering a $75-per-person tasting menu and one of the hardest-to-get reservations in the country.Guided by purpose and passion, Jon is a visionary leader dedicated to transforming hospitality—he shapes his restaurants with intention, inspires his teams to grow, and encourages positive change throughout the industry, continuing to push boundaries with growth and new concepts on the horizon.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 19, 2026, 7:17 PM UTC

Kevin SanchezSous Chef
- As printed Originally from Springfield, MA, Kevin Sanchez is guided by the philosophy that shared meals are a core part of what it means to be human, and he has found fulfillment in his role as Sous Chef at Noko in Nashville, TN. Sanchez always dreamed of becoming a chef, and in 2021, his wife encouraged him to take the leap. He took a line cook position at a beloved local restaurant in Clarksville, TN, and was quickly promoted to Kitchen Manager. Sanchez then ventured to Nashville in 2022 to work at The Joseph and made his way to Noko in 2024. Since beginning his career at Noko as Sous Chef, Sanchez is grateful for the opportunity to do what he loves, challenge himself, and provide guests with memorable experiences. Always cooking with creativity and authenticity, Sanchez’ philosophy is to pursue the craft with humility and curiosity. Inspired by Noko’s commitment to changing the hospitality industry through their employee betterment initiatives, his goal is to showcase a healthier version of pursuing a career in restaurants. When he’s not in Noko's kitchen, Sanchez can be found dancing with his wife, cooking up Puerto Rican food, supporting local restaurants, or hosting dinners—his favorite being grilling parties for friends in the summer.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 19, 2026, 7:17 PM UTC

Madeline LeeGeneral Manager
- As printed Born and raised in Richmond, KY, Madeline Lee discovered her passion for the hustle and bustle of the hospitality industry at the age of 15. After working at the same restaurant through high school and college, Madeline graduated from Western Kentucky University with a degree in human resources and moved to Nashville as a traveling human resources assistant. It wasn’t long before she missed the camaraderie of the restaurant world and walked away from her corporate life. Madeline has been a part of the Noko team since opening day, starting as a server before working her way up to Assistant General Manager. Her background in human resources and passion for helping people create memories through food inform her role at Noko and next-door sister restaurant Kase x Noko, where she’s actively involved in cultivating a sustainable workplace culture. Considering the growth Madeline has experienced individually and within her team, she is confident this is just the beginning of the ripple effect they are pursuing for positive change across the restaurant industry. In her free time, Madeline enjoys gardening, exploring the outdoors and new restaurants, attending music festivals, and spending time with her cat.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 19, 2026, 7:17 PM UTC
