This was our first time to Nobu, and my husband and I were blown away. The service was impeccable and we enjoyed a decadent array of dishes chosen by our server and chef; signature Nobu dishes and items we would never have ordered on our own. Everything was a delight! Celebrating my birthday was a special treat at Nobu!

We love coming here!! Logan is our favorite server EVER. He is so attentive and quick and funny! Great time all round. Shige and Robbie always play a part in a great night, whether it’s drinks with the girls or dinner with the group. And last but not least, John, the general manager. Always making sure everybody’s experience is top tier from the moment you walk in.

Food was good service was not. They had 1 million people doing silly things like clearing edamame shells, but no one to truly pay attention to what you need like food and drinks

Our dining experience last night was mostly good-as usual. We recently (October) had the Omakase at this location and were blown away. It was amazing-course after course. Decided to try it again. This visit was a bit different. Service is great and many of the 8 courses were very good. We found the salad course to be an odd mix that did not pair well with the fish included. The lobster course was good but meat was a bit chewy. The soup had a delicious taste but was lukewarm. The Sushi course, the starter, the Wagu…..these were great. Omakase is always a fun way to go and we look forward to trying again soon.

Never had a bad meal at Nobu. When we arrived they told us we had 2 hours to eat- not the most pleasant greeting but we had time to spare. Started with the classic Lychee martini which was excellent. All the hot food and sushi was well prepared. Our server was very nice and food came promptly. I would agree with others the food is not cutting edge like it was years ago but it is still very good. I love the sushi rolls here , simple and well prepared, no crazy rolls here. Yes it is pricey but was a nice time.

The ambience was honestly not super special. The food was mostly solid. However I must say that our vegetable dishes particularly were very over-salted. The staff was nice. But like I said, it didn’t feel like their other locations,

The food is always great however I was disappointed with the service. As soon as you check in they inform you they will be taking back the table at a certain time. I just find this tacky considering I just walked in the door and I’m already being told when I’m leaving. Additionally, my waiter with zero personality charged me $16 for ginger, more than a sushi roll! I find this a bit outrageous and was upset they did not inform me of this cost prior (which is not listed on the menu).
