    The Cod fish and sea bass fish are the best fish that I have ever eaten! 10/10! The fish is fresh and perfectly seasoning. The service is amazing! The ambience is great! The taco is very small, I wish it was bigger. Seafood ceviche is very refreshing. Overall I had a great experience at Nobu!

    Wonderful! Food is amazing. The two top tables were so close together it was a little awkward. Next time we’ll just ask for a booth.

    The food lacked the level of quality I expect from Nobu. Fluke Miso is delicious, but the yuzu sauce was watery at best. King Crab was overcooked and rubbery. Drinks were more mixers and not enjoyable.

    Ordered sake with edamame, Nobu’s daiginjo sake (small), sashimi selection, and shoojin vegetable tempura. Edamame should have come with the sake, but had to order it twice. Sashimi should have come first, also with sake, but tempura was brought first. Tempera very good. Fish cut too thick for sashimi, but not bad. Short changed on the second round of sake. So asked to have sake replentished. Wound up with too much sake. Very pleasant waiting staff.

    Nobu is my favorite restaurant. I have visited them all around the world. I had an unfortunate moment, but their outstanding customer service made it an overall enjoyable experience.

    The food was excellent but the service was terrible. We counted at least eight servers working the not even half full dining room, so it did not appear to be a staffing problem. The slowness associated with every single aspect of the experience really detracted from the evening. Just a bummer.
