I should have done my homework before arriving, but I did not leave disappointed. My husband and child, however, did opt to eat somewhere else after perusing the menu. Unlike others, I am not a vegetarian nor do I have a "healthy" diet. Therefore, perhaps my experience was a culture shock that thankfully did not leave me traumatized. Of my family, I am a bit more adventurous and decided to try this place anyway. Perhaps most notable to mention is that the business name, NOKturne, is not on the illuminated business sign, but their logo (owl on a branch) is. It's not particularly in a good location... It's in the small plaza behind the Chevron off Gemini, across the street from the JSC Federal Credit Union. While the menu was very small, I was able to order edamame as my appetizer, chicken pad thai, and an almond cake (name escapes me). I also ordered the Papaya Bliss smoothie. The food was delicious. I did, admittedly, knock off a lot of the salt from the edamame to have a lightly salted appetizer, but that was to suit my own tastes. The smoothie was rich and creamy. My plate was slightly chipped on one corner, but it had no bearing on the food's flavor. The pad thai was slightly spicy. I am not a fan of cucumber, but it was a nice touch to the water I was given. The cake was very sweet, but had a nice, detectable almond flavor. I also liked how the napkins and straws were well stocked and available at each table. The chairs were perhaps my least favorite aspect of the experience. They were quite low and not very supportive, but visually looked cool, in my opinion. My server was nice, friendly, and attentive. He didn't hover around and he also didn't neglect me either. He made knowledgeable recommendations and cheerful banter. I would probably visit again while I do late night work, but perhaps I will bring a back pillow or something with me. read more

Me - "whatever you do, don't put any capers on it" Of course my sandwich comes out FULL OF CAPERS. And you know what happened next? The young lady working cashier went back into the kitchen and had the cooks prepare a whole new sandwich and then she brought it out to me. It's a young restaurant. They're trying to do something outside of the suburban norm. Mistakes will be made. The true value of the spot is how they handle those mistakes. They made a customer out of me that night. read more

Great concept. Works for me since i work nights and i'm awake late at night when i'm not working. Right now they're not "fully" open yet. They have an art gallery, lounge, and stage area in the works. Food wasn't bad, an there's a lot of healthy options. I got the Veggie burger and it's one of the best i've had. Will def come back! read more

Loved the great, healthy, delicious food! I had this bookmarked for a year and finally made it! Tried cactus for the first time! It was in a quesadilla. Also had a juice milk drink that promotes weight loss, the guacamole with black bean chips, and the Umami Bomb with egg & chicken. Too much food for two so took enough home for another lunch. So glad to know where this place is because it's super close to home and now will be a regular in our lives. read more

There is a new world restaurant / juice bar / coffee shop down here in Clear Lake called NOKturne that is open from about 6 pm to about 9 am on Tuesday through Sunday nights and from 9 pm to about 9 am on Sunday and Monday nights. I've spent the last few nights there wrapping up a quality management certification after my daughter told me about it. I had a long talk with the manager. He came to the U.S. from Mexico in around 2002 to finish secondary school at Clear Creek High. The menu is largely vegan with no fried foods. They plan to have a liquor license within five weeks and are working on permits to build two stages for poetry and live music. After the lounge goes in, they will expand the art installations. Please show your support for this great effort in a part of town that doesn't have many options for culture or late night, low key venues. read more

I'm giving it 5 stars for exactly what it is. This place is amazing! The food was so different, interesting, delicious fresh. We were there with some friends who were a bit drunk, and ummm.... Unruly, we apologized to the owner and he was very sweet about it. The food was amazing. Let's see.. We had a ton of food: Hotdogs- fresh and delicious. Didn't taste like nasty street vendor hot dogs cafe miel- this coffee was INSANELY GOOD!!! Thai tea- also delicious, fresh, very flavorful Curried brats- so different! German/Indian! Insane! The chorizo melt- tons of cilantro was the perfect balance to the hearty chorizo Zesty chicken- fresh, amazing bread, tons of good quality greens Gyoza- made with bean curd, not my favorite, but still tasty and perfect for a vegetarian Potato chunks with sausage- the sausage was so good. It was like a gourmet slim Jim.... Lol, sounds gross, but it was FANTASTIC Also they serve cucumber water! So good! It's a perfect pallet cleanser between bites The ambiance was also good. Nice and dark. They had open mic which was nice as well, and when that was over they played great music. The servers were very very sweet. The only cons I have are the hours and the wait, but hey, they weren't going for a dinner joint. They are catering to the after hours crowd. Your food takes a little while, but it's fresh! Who cares! They just bring the food out as it's ready. It was perfect, casual... We just shared each plate with each other as it came. It's exactly what I wanted after a few hours at the bar. My friend was also coming off her shift at a restaurant. It was awesome. I will come back next time we are in town without hesitation read more

I used to love when this location was Tierra Luna, a Mexican restaurant. But now this place is SLOW, expensive, and uncomfortable. My coworker and I arrived at 12:15. Only one other table had people at it and they already had food. We ordered. At 12:30, my friends food came. My SOUP (miso, rice noodles, mushrooms) didn't come out until 1 pm. No checking in to let us know there were problems in the kitchen or anything. And at one point the lone cook left the kitchen, went outside, and started rifling through her car with her plastic gloves still on. All the while, my soup wasn't being made. Then, once I finally got my soup 45 minutes after walking in, I said, "I need to get back to work, I no longer have time to eat a hot bowl of soup". But instead of taking the soup into the back and putting it into a container, she brought the container to the table, then pored half the soup all over the table in front of me. THEN, I didn't even get the food comped. So I paid $14 for basically a large miso soup (already outrageous) that took 35 minutes to come out, and I only got like 75% of the original amount to eat at my desk. I will NEVER EVER walk into this place again. read more

This is my go to place after work. Ive been coming in since they opened. That being said, I am a bartender locally and love that there is a healthier alternative to ihop jack in the box or taco bell open at the hour I get out of work. Nokturne is a very relaxed calm place to visit after a long night of loud music and bar atmosphere. The staff is very knowledgeable about the natural healing qualities of every item on their menu, which makes for a very enjoyable experience. The food is amazing and made fresh for each customer. I recommend you stopping in and taking some time to absorb the Nokturne lifestyle. You will not regret it. read more

Finally checked out this joint last night with my wife. It was one of those spur of the moment, spontaneous things that we don't do enough of, but I'm glad we did. I was expecting a diner type atmosphere, since almost none of the reviews I'd read really gave any kind of indication as to the decor, lighting, music, etc. With regards to those elements of the restaurant, I was pleasantly amused. I felt like I had stepped into some futuristic cafe and wouldn't have been surprised to see Morpheus and Neo walk in the door at any given moment. A soft spoken and friendly staff makes the low lighting and art nouveau vibe to the place a welcome respite from the Waffle House for late night dining. Some healthy appetizers, fresh as you can get fruit juice (you can hear them juicing in the kitchen) and the kickass chorizo and egg sandwich let me know that whoever created the menu has some skill and a love for food. To steal from a review I read on here earlier, I'm also rooting for Nokturne. read more

Pulling an all niter than this is definitely the place for you. Food was great I had the Pad Thai and it was delicious. The owners are so cool and go all out to make sure you have a good experience. Will be back gotta have some more. The menu is crazy good! It's about time Clear Lake's growing up. Easy to find and open from 8PM to 8AM. read more

I really enjoy coming here for the healthy late night food alternative. The atmosphere is pretty cool, however I wish I didn't have to wait so long for the food. I have talked to the workers/owners and the all expect the wait time to improve as they refine the menu. All that being said... This place was a lifesaver for me when I was prego. Not being able to sleep+always being hungry is not always a desirable situation.... read more

My favorite place after hours! Owners are super friendly and always help me with my diabetic-friendly juice concoctions. Food is great, chicken zest & garlic mushrooms & steamed buns are my boyfriend and I's go-to choices there but there are still many other options that are good. I go and get the mushroom/flu (can't remember the name) tea whenever I am coming down with a cold and I'm well by the next day!! Although it does take a little while to get your order it is SO worth the wait! read more

I'm in love with their teas! I can't get of their nopallla(not sure I spelled that correct) ! I went two days in a row. Definitely recommend! read more

Great spot try the steam buns or the garlic mushroom for some vegan goodness. Also their vegan cheesecake is ON POINT. thanks Nok

Always come away from here happy and healthy. Nice people. Cool drinks and food made with the best ingredients.

My friends and I have recently turned this place into our new addiction. We have come here almost every other night and there hasn't been a dull moment since. Each night I meet someone new and interesting and always find a good conversation. The owners are great and easy to talk to and very sweet people. Not to mention the food and huge selection of drinks. The menu provides a very informative description of everything and even tells you which drink is healthiest for whatever problem you may be trying to pinpoint rather it be your immune system, detoxing your liver, ect. Ect. The food has a wide variety to choose from as well and I'm slowly trying to try everything, but I usually get hooked on one meal for a few days. I definitely recommend the breakfast option where you virtually customize the whole meal. It can take awhile to get your food and drinks out to you, but if you are patient about it then you will definitely be satisfied. They definitely take their time and put in effort in making your meal unique and specifically for you. If your idea of good food is boring looking with an average mundane taste, then this is not the place for you. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who just want some time to be out in the late hours of the night to relax and possibly strike an intriguing conversation with someone. Their is already a set of regulars and all the nocturnal people of Clear Lake are finding their place. read more

I love Nokturne! I'm a seasoned regular. This place has a very casual and laid-back vibe. If you're expecting a sit-down restaraunt with quick service, this is not the place for you. But, it's a wonderful place to meet up with friends and have long, late night conversations over small plates of food! If you ever need something from your server, it's always a good idea to go up to the front counter and politely ask for what you need. The staff is usually very friendly and accommodating (especially if you'd like a popcorn refill!). However, because of the style of the restaraunt, the staff isn't always amazing. Don't let an awkward or poorly trained server deter you from the experience. It happens. There are so many other wonderful staff members that work there! The Sweet Sunset is probably the best tasting juice on the menu, but I always gravitate towards the smoothies and Lassis. If you'd like something added to your drink (like mint or strawberries), the staff is usually happy to add without extra charge! It's a great way to customize your food. The variety of healthy food options is also wonderful, and the menu changes seasonally. Sometimes the preparation of a food dish changes slightly, too, and while some people may not like this, I can't complain. It's like a little surprise every time I order the house salad because I never know what it's going to look like exactly, but it'll always be delicious! Highly, highly recommend if you need a place late at night to just chill and relax. It's such a unique restaraunt experience that's hard to pull off, even in big cities. Check this place out to support a local favorite! read more

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS PLACE!!! I'm originally from the Clear Lake area and now live in Denton, TX. Every time I come home to visit, I love to check out new places that have opened since my last time down. I heard about NOKturne from a friend and took my daughter there Sunday morning on our way out of town for some nourishment for the drive home. Boy, did it delight!!! We both got to build our own breakfast burrito from their "build it yourself" menu and they were FABULOUS! I also tried one of the beet juice drinks (can't recall the name) and was pleasantly surprised, while my daughter enjoyed the watermelon juice. Everything was so fresh and good! They have a VAST variety of coffee styles from around the world and I selected a Cafe Miel (spl?), which originates from Mexico and is basically a Cafe Au Lait with cinnamon and honey. AMAZING!! It's become my new addiction, although my home version isn't quite the same. :) The breakfast menu is fairly simple compared to their "dinner" menu (hours are 10pm - 10am), which is jam packed with delicious sounding tapa-style items from around the globe, plus some handcrafted originals designed by the chef, Daniel. I cannot wait to come back during the night hours on my next trip and sample some of those menu items! Aside from the amazing food, the service was friendly and fast. Owners, Shannel and Daniel, really make you feel right at home and go above and beyond to make it an incredible experience. The grand opening had not happened yet when I was down, but they explained that when it was fully opened there would be a lounge area, plus eventually an art gallery for local artists. Hats off to such an original concept!! Good food, good vibe and good for you!! Do yourself a favor and check it out!!!!! read more

Love love this place!! The employees are the nicest people I've ever met, they know what they're serving and can help you choose. Super chill spot to hang out late at night to relax. The juice drinks are the best. read more

While the food is good, the service is lacking. They usually only have one or two people working at the front, so if there are a lot of people inside expect to wait for a minute. I have been here twice, and both times my card was charged almost $10 more than what I had written on my receipt. That's one too many times to be a coincidence. I felt like the servers were purposefully overcharging me, and I'm sure that I am not the only person that this happened to. When I call to report this, it took almost 2 weeks for them to do anything about it, and they never called me, I always had to call them. They gave me a $40 credit on my account, but I haven't even really gone back because of this issue. Good food, slightly over price, and disappointing service. read more

Found this gem here on yelp and omg this will be my new regular spot. The veggie burrito is to die for. Had the kale juice drink and that was delish. read more

The wife and I stopped in to try their vegetarian dishes. We got the steam buns (pretty good, only missed some more of the dipping sauce), pad Thai with shrimp (absolutely delicious), a curry plate (very tasty, doesnt lack the spice), and the vegan cheesecakes pumpkin spice (different, but very good) read more

We ordered the small garlic mushroom, guacamole and also the edamame. The guacamole is not the traditional tasting stuff which you find everywhere. It has a fresh lemonny zest added it which makes it very interesting and that is in a good way. It was served with blue corn chips and on a bed of kale. The mushrooms were seared to perfection, wish ordered the larger plate. Did not care for the edemame much but it was not bad at all. The server was very good and always with a smile. We will be back for more. Best part is it is open all night, but it's not like they are taking advantage of that fact and serving you junk, we will be back on merits of its food quality and decent ambience. read more

A rare type of restaurants that filled the need to have list I had in mind for a type of more informal restaurant. The menu offers some very original and tasty dishes inspired from cooking traditions in different corners of the world. I especially like the dishes with fish and even a simple entree such as a ceviche is made interesting and delicious. The juices and smoothies are a great accompaniment to the dishes. I just love that place! read more

Nokturne is amazing! Love to order from this place all the time. So close to home and the food just taste so home made. I love the whole vegan/vegetarian menu. I do like to go for gyro and the jamaica drink! The pad Thai there is also amazing! read more

Pretty good little spot. Came here solely for the fact that they gave green juice, left with juice and a vegan cheesecake. They seem to have a pretty good menu selection of all different kinds of food, and if I lived in the area I'd probably frequent this place. Staff is really friendly, and our juices were made quickly. We'll be back if we're visiting in the area again. read more

Really love this place. So great that CL has a late night healthier option other than the greasy breakfast joints like Denny's. First I love the casual yet lounge atmosphere and of course it didn't hurt that the music is what I listen to everyday. So that's right up my alley. We ordered two juices, the potatoes and veggie wrap. The food was excellent and the juices came straight from fruit to table. Only downside could be that the juices are a little pricey. read more

This was such a pleasant surprise! I really loved the way they presented their food. It was very clean, simple, healthy and delicious. I never really like to eat out because it always tastes heavier than what i cook at home, but this tasted very light and delicious. I would come back here any day. They served my lunch with an exotic tropical fruit which I loved. And the tea was a sweetened hibiscus tea which I thought was a lovely touch. They incorporate a lot of fruits and vegetables. Would recommend!! read more

Food is yum. Drinks are yum. Coffee is extra yum. This place is so unique and such a hidden jewel in clear lake. I love their hours, that they deliver, and they update and innovate their menu frequently. They really should post their menus online. My only negative is that every time I order delivery/take out...the worker on the other end is either poorly trained, rude, or lacking customer service. It's wild card on who answers on what night. I could go on about my experiences on that but don't let it deter you from their awesome menu. read more

Healthy, good food with vegetarian and vegan options. I ordered the spicy vegetable burrito (vegan), hummus and a blended veggie juice (beets, kale, celery, carrot, apple orange). The food was delivered super fast, which was great. The burrito was tasty and a with a bit of spice, though not picante. I enjoyed it, but could had increased the spice. The humus was not as thick as I usually see it and it was a little bland. It wasn't bad, but a bit thin in texture and flavor. The juice was good, cold and refreshing. Overall, it was a very healthy meal and service was quite good. I would recommend it as a tasty, healthy meal. read more

Pros: Great tasting foods, nice atmosphere, healthy, decently priced, good service, love the popcorn Cons: I wish they had more vegetarian options (for those of us strict veg heads who don't eat seafood) Overall: Go! There's popcorn and hummus calling your name! read more

The place is to DIE for!!!! The vibe is absolutely incredible! A special thank you to Dylan, our waiter, for being so cool and chill with us!!

I took my nephews and niece out for dinner, and we had the most uncomfortable dinner. Our server was so rude to us. When we asked questions he made us feel like complete idiots. He made my 11 year old nephew really uncomfortable while ordering. The service here is a 0/10. I'm a server, and I know what bad service is. Tonight's service was absolutely awful and it made us so uncomfortable. The manager took care of us after I complained. I hope this server we had gets fired instantly. Worst server out there read more

Worst service EVER! I came in to pick up a Togo order and there were more employees working than there were customers. There were only 2 other tables besides myself and I waited over 25 minutes for the small order but it felt like much longer. The employees behind the counter were turned with their backs toward the counter and clearly on their phones the entire time. Definitely won't be back here. read more
