    Nobu is one of my favorite restaurants, a lot of people get intimidated my the wording on the menu and they also don’t understand the servings so I’ll help you have an amazing experience by clarifying. Nobu has flight sizes portions, not hefty meals. The objective is to sample and taste a variety of flavors of dishes and fine cuisines.. I had a party of three and my friends were skeptical and nervous so I ordered and we all sampled and shared the risotto, sea bass, king crab tempura, lobster tempura, and wagyu steak… IT WAS SOO DELICIOUS, price point was amazing and just for the preparation and taste.. I also ordered the finest tequila shots and 1942 and Clase Azul, and that in itself was so better than any bottle I’ve ever opened myself or shot I’ve ordered in a night club. The scents of the flavor notes in the tequila was aromatic and the taste was fineeee.. Nobu Atlanta was 10/10. The hosts, servers and setting/ambiance was amazing. -@_rebee_ree

    I celebrated my birthday with my niece and great-niece, and we had a wonderful time. Stanley was our chef, and he was awesome. Our waiter, Thomas, was also really good. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, especially the happy birthday celebration at the end, which included delicious green tea ice cream. I definitely plan to come back again!
