JOIN US FOR OUR POP-UP

Baiyū IS OPEN FOR LUNCH UNTIL DECEMBER 13

Join us at Baiyū, brought to you by the Fall ‘24 cohort, where the vibrant flavors of New Orleans meet the bold, playful spirit of a Japanese izakaya. Dive into a unique dining experience that blends soulful Creole classics with the rich umami of Japanese comfort food.

Before our Culinary Arts and Baking & Pastry Arts students complete their 100-day certifications, they create a pop-up café as their capstone project. This original concept is dreamed up and executed entirely by the students as their culmination of everything they’ve learned at NOCHI.

100% of proceeds from every student pop-up benefit NOCHI’s Scholarship Fund, and you can donate by attending or click here to support from afar!
