I love dining at Nobu! always such a good experience when I go there. The drinks were delicious, the servers were amazing! I just didn’t appreciate the fact that the person who greeted me kept mentioning that I am only allotted my table for a certain amount of time. My server could’ve given us a gentle reminder. I don’t need to be prompted 2/3 times.

Completely overpriced. $2,035 for 6 people. The food is good but not great. Our high-end regular place in Irvine is 1/3 the price and offers more original offerings with significantly more actual food. My brother informed me Nobo was just ok, but I had to go there once. I will not be going back.

I will start by saying I was worried the food would not live up to my expectations, however that was not a problem at all. Some of the freshest and best executed dishes I have had. The prices add up quick, but once we were done with the meal it was worth every penny. Favorite dishes included: yellowtail jalapeño, chilean sea bass, ribeye with truffle butter and the mango kakigori shaved iced is a must. The tuna tacos were small but good as well. Server was very attentive without being pushy which was appreciated since we were there closing on a Sunday night. Will definitely visit again when in the Newport area.

First time trying with friends. I wish the drinks would have been garnished properly. If your paying that much for a drink least you can do it make it pretty. Also felt a little rushed between ordering.

Let’s start with the good. Always and consistently fresh and good. The temperature of the food is pretty close to perfect. The service is a little snooty, shouldn’t EVER be snooty. Lots of slang is used as we were asked questions, I’m definitely a foody and a traditionalist. The temperature in the restaurant was uncomfortably cold. While it’s understandable to have your doors open when you have a view like that, you should absolutely make accommodations to make sure people feel comfortable inside. If they crossing their arms and rubbing them, perhaps turn down the air conditioning.
