    We are regulars at Nobu but Thai time I was really Disappointed. It was my son’s birthday and at checkin he was wished happy birthday and also told a complimentary cake or something would come and to have a good time. He and I had a great meal, spent nearly $600 for 2 of us and yet felt robbed somehow. I know it’s probably not customary to say happy birthday and give complimentary anything, but just some decency and presence of mind or atleast knowing about a customer who’s reserved and mentioned occasion is birthday. It’s not about the free bee or complimentary whatever, it’s about being human and your ethics. Sad day .. but hey we paid for the food right so .. thank you.

    I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Nobu in Los Angeles, Barcelona, London, and Miami Beach. While the sushi in Barcelona and London was exceptional, I recently discovered a hidden gem in Miami, LA, Austin-Uchi. At this price point, Uchi delivers what is expected, and it’s worth the investment. What sets Uchi apart is its innovative approach to sushi. Each piece of fish is served with its own unique sauce or topping, eliminating the need for soy sauce altogether. This minimalist approach allows the natural flavors of the fish to shine through, making sushi an art form that truly comes alive with these creative toppings. They also offer fish from Japan not just the staples. However, my experience at Nobu was marred by several issues. The staff seemed inexperienced and uninformed about the restaurant’s offerings and customer service. They were primarily order takers and busboys, with no interaction with customers. To top it off, they called to confirm my reservation at 7 p.m. and informed me that I needed to leave by 9:15 p.m. because they had other parties scheduled. This lack of courtesy and consideration left a sour taste in my mouth. Despite being only half full the entire night, with more than 15 tables available, we left at 9 p.m. disappointed considering the time we had invested in getting there during rush hour. The fish was served like every other sushi restaurant in America and same limited fish offerings too. I felt nothing was unique and every piece of sushi the only sauce was soy to dip. Not very creative. Overall, my experience at Nobu was disappointing:(

    Could not have had a better lunch experience from the time we enter to when we left. The chef was spot on in his recommendations. Look forward to coming back.

    Great service but quality of food was subpar. The sushi quality was poor, disappointing for Nobu. While I understand the quality would not be the same as Nobu dinner/non-buffet quality given the lower price point, I did expect the quality to be better. The fish quality was comparable to other sushi buffets in the city that are much lower in price point (e.g., $35-45 pp). Dessert was great though
