What a beautiful classy designed restaurant with an excellent service! The bento lunch box was a great deal and absolutely delicious. My lunch box contained 3 pieces of sushi, a salmon avacado roll, seared tuna salad, sauteed vegetables with a hint of spiciness, creamy rock shrimp tempura and a rich miso glazed over grill cod. The green tea set was a delight with a hint of dew. Going to shopping now around the area after this heavenly lunch
King crab 10/10 crispy rice w spicy tuna 1000/10 yellow tail fresh. French 75 amazing. Don’t get the Brussels sprouts were bitter yuck
Shared a meal here with 4 friends and enjoyed a diverse spread of maki and sushimi rolls. The cocktails were unique and tasteful and the server was able to make suitable recommendations based on everyone's personal preferences. The dessert was actually our favourite part of the meal! Great ambience and open concept design - good for those looking to take some nice photos with friends for a night out. Thanks for hosting us!
All I can say is just WOW. I loved the ambiance and the interior design of the restaurant. Great place to have a date or for a celebration. I had the pleasure of having June as our waitress and she was superb. She gave us more insight in the flavor profiles and some recommendations. Her service was great and I would come back just to have her take care of everything. Now for the food, I loved everything except the shittake salad but that’s only because of a texture sensitivity I have, the lemon dressing in the salad was great. The edamame choclo is the best edamame I’ve had, it was spicy and the Peruvian corn it comes with complements the dish so well. I loved the crispy rice with the spicy tuna, the crispy rice is so buttery and the spicy tuna on top was amazing. The rock shrimp was delicious and fresh. The yellowtail and jalapeno was a great burst of freshness with the spice of the jalapeno had my tastebuds dancing. The wagyu dumpling were soooo filling and delicious, I want to try the tacos next time. June also got me and my partner a small bite with some writing to congratulate on our anniversary which was so kind!!! (We couldn’t order dessert because we were SO full but the passion fruit baked Alaska looked soooo good from what I saw other guests) Everything was delicious and I understand the hype now.
Nobu was great. The entrance was a little confusing but i found it. The time listed when it’s closed is actually the time they stop taking customers because i went on a Friday at 10:30pm and google/apple maps says it “closes” at 10:45pm. The food comes in small portions so u can try many appetizers if you want. The drinks were great and the server was so friendly and helpful to us.
If you’re looking to try new food, Nobu is the place for it. I loved the atmosphere and the bartenders were excellent. I felt very welcomed and comfortable in the space. I ordered the waygu dumplings and cod lettuce wraps. The portions are small but the dishes are very flavorful.
Nobu has come to define the fine dining experience in Japanese cuisine, and its use of innovation in combining flavors continues to raise the bar. Our experience was largely positive, except for slightly sluggish service and some forgettable dishes (vegetable sushi and veggie tempura to name a few). Apart from that, the service was hospitable, and food and drinks were great, and the ambience was exceptional. Overall, i enjoyed my visit to Nobu and look forward to being back again!
Food tasted great (except the wagyu dumplings but my friend thought they were amazing) but the portions are so small. Feels like snacks almost. Fish is comparable to other sushi spots. Expected fish to be better because of the hype. Still good though, except the wagyu tbh. Toro was great! The tuna tartar as well. Yellow tail was great. Eggplant great. Miso soup great. Just wanted bigger portions but I guess you pay for the atmosphere, which was also comparable to other spots
