YATAI OPENS NOVEMBER 10!

Yatai, presented by the Fall ’26 cohort, brings the lively late-night street food culture of Osaka to New Orleans. Inspired by the small wooden food carts that roll out at dusk, Yatai pairs fast, made-to-order service with bold flavors and a welcoming, communal atmosphere. Featuring Osaka street food favorites, each dish is cooked fresh and served hot. Pull up a seat, follow the glow of the red lantern, and experience a cuisine designed to bring everyone to the counter.

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!
