    We’ve been many times and thought it would be the perfect place to take a friend visiting from France. She was enchanted ( not much sushi in her city) and especially loved the experience of making her own sushi plate. Had a quiet table in the back— perfect meal for catching up, and savoring delicious food. On the super cold night, warm gingerbread bread pudding was an excellent dessert.

    We sat in the bar area for happy hour (you have to sit in the bar to get the happy hour). The cocktails were very good and reasonable and the apps were also very tasty and reasonable. We decided to eat dinner as well and everything we had, crab cake, shrimp, salmon and sushi were all very good. It was a great place to eat before a show!!

    This was our first visit to NOBU in NYC. I was very pleasantly surprised by the cooked dishes. I regularly eat either ramen noodles or sushi / sashimi in a Japanese restaurant. The cod dish was exceptional! The beef dish was a close second. Dion, our waiter, was great. He walked us thru the menu and we took all of his suggestions. Very patient and caring. Definitely will go back soon to try more hot dishes.
