I visit this restaurant periodically when I attend a conference and I always look forward to dining there and I rate it very highly. However this year the experience was disappointing. The service was slow even though they were not many persons dining. The food portions were smaller and not as savory as in the past, rice also was not tender. Overall an above average dining experience but overpriced for what was offered.

Is it possible to say that the food on your chopsticks is the most delicious food you've ever eaten? The answer is "yes" when you are dining on the Japanese Red Snapper and dry miso dish at Nobu. Everything about our dining at Nobu was extraordinary. The food was amazing, the ambiance is respectful and low-key, the sake list was extensive, the desserts alone could have earned a 5 star.

Staff was excellent at Nobu, excellent! Food was good, but overpriced a bit for what it is.. portion sizes pretty small, good but not great taste, definitely worth a try but we'll be a one and done with this spot. Again, service was amazing and food was good overall!

Terry is always amazing and is always a step ahead. We love getting seated in her section! The staff always makes us feel welcomed and well taken care of. We love NOBU. Thank you for another great evening.

My friend and I both ordered the chefs tasting menu, and honestly we should have shared one. We were both stuffed by the 4th course of 7. We did manage to try everything and it was superb!!! I will definitely go again!!!

Was hoping for outstanding. It wasn't, but it was very good. Did the omakase. The fish was exceedingly fresh., so the cold (sushi) dishes were the best part. The kitchen items were good. We requested a kobe beef course and that was outstanding. The stand-in tuna version for the non-meat eater in our group was so-so...quite salty, and the fish overcooked. In fact, the kobe beef was overcooked but still rich and delicious. Desert and specialty cocktails were regular. Service was attentive and sold. However, when we reserved, we were given notice of table limits (an hour 45 max), cancellation fees for no-shows, and in fact were not offered premium seating times. However, when we ate, the restaurant was 80% empty, which made the threats and restrictions seem ridiculous. We could have just walked in and been spared that militant part of the experience. Overall, a good meal, but hoped for much given the reputation of Nobu (and past experiences there). Menu may need updating.

The food experience is always amazing, as is the service you get to experience from the Team. I always appreciate Johnny Yu and the how special and important he makes myself and my friends feel upon every trip. Another reason I always go back!

Was a little disappointed with the food. We have eaten at both the Malibu and Los Angeles locations and had much better experiences. The mushroom salad and yellowtail jalapeno were great; everything else was just okay, including the wagyu tacos.

Pricy but good, they forgot to put my son's name on his cake for his 12th birthday:( I told them a week before our resenrvation

We waited over 45 minutes for our entree. None of the food was spectacular or wowing like Nobu NYC. It was like paying for a cheap meal with a Nobu sticker. The octopus carpaccio was fishy and not pleasant at all. The lobster maki was lacking. The lobster ceviche butter lettuce was nothing special. Overall for paying over $400 for me and one other person, I expected the quality to be like NYC but I couldn't even tell this was a Nobu restaurant.
We had an excellent experience at Nobu! The waitstaff is top notch and all the food was excellent. We tried several different types of Nigiri and Maki, which were all delicious. The special Old Fashioned was one of the best I've tasted. Overall, a great time was had by all.

The cold menu and cut rolls were delicious. The wagyu tacos were not good at all. Our server wasn't very attentive throughout our meal.

First time at Nobu. Loved it Not cheap, but worth the money. Asian Fusion. Beautiful lay out of food. Great taste. Enjoyed every minute of it. For sure we'll be back.

Omg!! Me gustó mucho, e visitado NOBU en otras ciudades y todos me gustan, su calidad de sushi es excelente, y el lugar muy bonito 👌🏻 excelente para una ovación especial.🫶🏻

Nobu never misses on the food, ambiance, or service. My one critique would be developing a wider variety of available cocktails and their flavors, but still not much to complain about in that department. Thank you for a great night. We LOVE nobu.
