We had a 29-person party and it was an AMAZING experience!! The manager, TJ, and the supporting staff were great! Everyone provided details of the 8-course meal as it was being served. The food was authentic with delicious flavors. (Salty, umami, and spicy to name a few) The food was also fresh and healthy. The drinks were also good. They had something for everyone with at least 3 drinks in each category. Example: The sweet drinks went from fruity tart and mild to very sweet.
I will be back and I strongly recommend Nobu for dinner dates and large party dinners.

Had an exquisite first date at this Nobu location. The drinks were delicious!! Standout for the evening was the caviar, lobster tail and the wagyu dumplings. My least favorite dish was the dessert doughnuts, a bit dry for my liking. The service was excellent and all in all had a wonderful time.

The food was old not well prepared. Got the price I think there are a lot other sushi places with better quality of fish. The waiter was disrespectful and biased. The person who cleaned dropped all the crumbs on the floor.

My first time eating at the Nobu restaurant in New York, it was the best, the food was 100% delicious, the waiters were attentive to my table and they made sure that nothing was missing on the table, that everything was fine, just like Nobu in Washington DC, the best in food, I recommend them, I think it wouldn't be the first time I would always go to eat there, a very pleasant and warm place and super clean, very good service and good hygiene 100%

I went on a Saturday evening to Nobu and this place is great. I like going to places that are an experience as well as having good food. Everything pictured was great, full of flavor, (Black Cod Miso...perfection) the drinks were good, the wait staff was very attentive. Good place to take a date or a small group of friends.
Parking: Try the street, then go with the valet.

Amazing service from our server, John, and the additional waitstaff. Our server gave us the best food and drink recommendations, we tried everything he recommended and loved it. He even went the extra mile to give us additional sauces to compliment and let us try a few sake samples. Amazing. Just amazing. And it’s our first wedding anniversary. This is an experience we will never forget.

Unexpected!!!!
The food was not up to Nobu standard. The service was bad. I have never been to a nobu restaurant with bad service.
Not recommended at all. For the following reasons:
1. Food before drinks
2. Missing wine - most of the menu
3. No communication
4. Luck of knowledge about alcohol
5. Long waiting to food and drinks
6. Luck of atmosphere
Bottom line:
The place is not good.

Food delicious, service horrible. Long time nobu fan here. We usually order in rounds and it’s always a great experience. The service tonight was incredibly slow and disappointing, worst nobu we’ve been to. We cancelled our last round of food because it took over an hour.
Just didn't meet expectations 😕.

Great food and great service. The staff here is really friendly which makes the overall experience elevated. This location has a happy hour on food and cocktails which I was unaware of until we sat down. Highly recommend dining here.

Our experience at Nobu DC was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed and well cared for. The service was flawless—attentive without being intrusive, with a very knowledgeable server (Victoria) who guided us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm.
The dinner itself was unforgettable. Every dish was a work of art, perfectly crafted with fresh ingredients and flavors that danced on the palate. Highlights included the salt & pepper squid, the beef tenderloin toban yaki, and the yellowtail jalapeño, which were incredibly tender and flavorful. Every bite was a delight, and the presentations were as beautiful as the taste.
Overall, it was a perfect evening filled with excellent service, delectable dishes, and a chic ambiance. Nobu DC is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking an elevated dining experience in the city. Highly recommended!
