Guy Rubenko and Lilac Raveh, each individually and both together, have a longstanding affair with Asian food. For the past twenty years, they have been visiting the Southeast Asian countries repeatedly, researching the food and paying for restaurants in Bangkok, hosting and learning from the great Thai cooking experts. Rave took all her knowledge and opened the Asian flea market a few years ago, and Rubenko used his attempt to establish Mekong, the eye-catching nurse of Brut.
Both Asia and Mekong have closed, and Asian food cravings have combined Raveh and Rubenko with dozens of special Eatwith dinners, which bring together their favorite Asian flavors, Thai classics, and Vietnamese and Western dishes. The harmonious connection between the two is now bringing Rubenko and Rave to a new restaurant in the Tel Aviv port market. Where they have tried their luck in recent years quite a few restaurants where market pharmacist, diamond in the port and local Italian.
Nit Noi (from Thai: a little or a little tip) will serve Southeast Asian street cuisine, highlighting the triangular area at the vertices of Thailand, Vietnam and Western China. During the day, the restaurant will open to market and harbor patrons, and once a week in the evening, a regular tasting menu will be served to the diners as part of Eatwith.

In building the menu, Rave and Rubenko maintained loyalty to the originals, techniques and ingredients, and some of the specialty raw materials they use are personally imported or grown for them by local growers. Nit Noi dishes are common in the night markets scattered throughout Asia, those that pop up in the evenings in cities and towns and offer a huge variety of colorful street dishes, fried small dishes, noodle dishes, dumplings and more. This is the experience served by the duo Rave and Rubenko at Nit Noi, when once a week, you will serve a delicious meal from the region's kitchens and serve an Asian market menu during the day. For the summer, a truck will also be operating outside to serve anyone to passersby. Ban Me is one of the favorite Vietnamese street food dishes - a crispy baguette that contains a variety of spreads, pickled vegetables, herbs, sauces and roasted poppies, meats, fish or tofu.

The lunch menu features dishes such as Kiwi Taiyou rice noodles in soup, a dish sourced in China and spread to Southeast Asia, served here in the Thai version; There's also a bon - a dish of Vietnamese rice noodles served at room temperature with herbs, pickles and Vietnamese, and toppings like roasted pork chunks or chunks of marinated turmeric and dill (NIS 48-52). There are also tiny chicken wings in honey and siracha sauce (NIS 36), or with powdered Mala which is a spicy blend of Yunnan and fried mint leaves (NIS 36); There is also garlic shrimp here, black pepper and fish sauce (NIS 38) or Jiao Dza, fried truffles stuffed with chopped poppies and in honey, vinegar and Sichuan pepper (NIS 44) and more.
