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.

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...

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!
