The restaurant was well managed and the food was well presented. Not impressed with the options based on the all you can eat option price. Nothing was exceptional, mostly standard sushi. Pork and beef carving table felt out of place for a sushi buffet. Rice did not stick together on the sushi making it hard to eat.
I had a very enjoyable experience at Nobu. I was a meeting some friends.  it was the first time that we were all together in person, so we needed the right place to do it. Nobu dod not disappoint; the night was great and it helped that the food was very interesting and fun and the ambience was great.
 our experience was unbelievable. I'm not a big sushi person, but my wife is and she said it was the best sushi she's ever had. I don't like raw fish and even I enjoyed the couple of pieces that I tried
Amazing experience! The food was superb, the service was outstanding, the atmosphere and decor was great! Extremely recommend and look forward to going back
Came for lunch. I was already running 15 minutes late because of some foolishness in the street near GW campus. Waiter messed up order. He was reflective and was apologetic about the mistake but it did add an extra 25 minutes to our lunch. We did the prefix so kind of hard to give discount but he could have at least comped one or two of our wines. Anyway, not the service that I get at the FiDi or Malibu location but we still had a nice lunch.
I been to several other Nobu in other states but this location is not the best or same quality as the other places. I have enjoyed all other locations very much and I was so excited about the Sunday AYCE brunch but unfortunately it was a big disappointment. My sister and I went to the DC location. The set up reminded me of a cafeteria style place and the food was a bigger disappointment. I knew going there that the quality of the sushi would be different from the regular menu but didn't expect to be so much different. The sushi rice wasn't as tasty and the size of of the sashimi was quite small. Not to mention that each nigiri was filled with a large amount of rice. I ended up removing half of the rice from each pieces. The hamachi was dry and tasteless. The tuna was descent and I did have a few pieces of that. The spicey tuna crispy rice wasn't tasteful and I did enjoy that and that was about it. Wait, shrimp cocktail was good too and that's it. The salmon was bland and the cod was quite salty. In fact, the broccolini and the Brussel sprouts were salty too. My belly was full from all the water and green tea that I drank.
The staff was friendly but I didn't have much interactions since it was a self service menu. I wouldn't recommend the AYCE Sunday menu for the price.

What an amazing experience! Staff was extremely knowledgeable and very nice. Food was fresh and delicious. This is a buffet style brunch. There was never a point where they were out of anything. Very well oiled machine. Already made another reservation!
Amazing Brunch experience at Nobu! The service was excellent, the sushi was so fresh and so many options. Plus carving station, salads, and a full dessert table. Try the Sunset Spritzer - delislh!
Very high quality sushi, mains and sides, at equally high prices. Solid cocktail selection and the cocktails are very well made. I have never been during prime hours, but they do a great happy hour on weekdays (ending at either 6 or 6:30) which brings the prices back to this earth a little bit. Still expensive, but much more reasonable.
They are attentive and service overall is great.

We chose this restaurant based on a trip to the NOBU in NYC (midtown). That was a memorable evening. Our visit to NOBU DC lived up to my expectations. The crispy rice tuna sushi and of course the black miso cod were great.
Excellent staff and exceptional server, had patience with me and it being my first time there. He provided great recommendations
Amazing food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend especially for special occasions.
Best brunch EVER!!! Can't wait to go back! I can't believe I'm saying this but you should charge more - it felt almost criminal only paying $80 for everything!!!
First time for brunch. It was just ok. I don't think I'll go back. Food was decent. Sushi rice was interesting. Not white but not brown either. I rate sushi based on rice and I didn't really care for it. It wasn't worth $80.
