Was not of the same calibre of other nobu’s I have been too in terms of ambiance, service and even food. Restaurant looked a bit run down. Server was not polite. And menu was extremely basic compared to New York, Malibu, and Las Vegas.Vegetarian options: There some vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: Was pregnant.

Stopped by to grab a drink. Bartender ignored us, talking to two young ladies. He was pretty rude. Typically, we tip very well; probably better than two young ladies, but not this time.

This is our #1 spot in S.D. We go here often, if not for dinner, definitely for drinks. All of their drinks are consistent & amazing. Best drinks in San Diego.

Front of the house sitting too many tables at once destroys the service of what is supposed to be an upscale experience. 1.5 hours to receive your entree is not inline with what Nobu was in the past. Maybe it is what Nobu is now which is a shame. I will miss what Nobu was.

I've been to a couple Nobu's, but this one was the worst by far in terms of food. The food quality was subpar. The yellowtail tasted like ham and they used too much sauce on the seafood dishes. Couldn't really taste any of the fish. I would come back for the service and drinks, not the food.

Every bit as good as advertised. Not only is the food incredible, but the experience of dining here is like an event. Dishes are gorgeous, cocktails are superb. Wait staff is fantastic. No it's not cheap but it's not supposed to be. Worth every penny.

Meh- I have wanted to visit a NOBU for a very long time. The food was decent of course but the selection was limited - the prices were a bit high for what we got and I did not receive the service you would expect for this type of establishment.
I've had $20 dollar sushi that had tasted better. This wasn't all that. The service was ok portions were small. People talk it up like it's the best sushi place. Garbage in my book for the value
Tried Nobu for the first time and sat at the sushi bar, it was an exceptional experience. The sushi chef gave us lots of recommendations, and was very helpful! The tuna toro, in particular, was expectational, melts in your mouth. The cocktails were very tasty and the atmosphere was good!
Food was amazing!!! Why only 4 stars if I gave 5 stars across the board? The prices... I spent about $200 on my Sushi dinner. For the same amount of food at an upscale Sushi restaurant in Denver I would have paid probably about $120-130. I figured being closer to the sea would actually drop the prices since they did not need to ship the seafood halfway across the continent.I would recommend the House Roll - the menu says nothing about it but it is amazing!

Outstanding food and service! Room was a little dark in decor and way too noisy for our liking, but the food and service was among the best we've ever had! Quite a treat to experience! Be prepared to spend alot of money!

We went out on a Saturday night with reservations and were seated immediately for a delicious meal! I highly recommend the omakase menu, especially if you aren't sure what to get a la carte. It's an 8 course meal and you won't leave feeling hungry. The staff did a great job with timing the courses and all of the fish was so tender and delicious. They also easily accommodated my dietary restrictions (no red meat). We had a mojito and lychee martini to drink and they were delicious! Saturday night may be a bad time to go if you are sensitive to noise as it was extremely loud. It was also pretty dark inside and I felt the dessert was underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Otherwise, I was very satisfied with my experience.Dietary restrictions: They provided an omakase without any red meat. My boyfriend got wagyu which was subbed with toro for me. Very happy with this accomodation!Parking: We parked in the Ace parking structure across the street for 10$. I believe you can also park at the hard rock hotel and get your parking validated. The hotel also has valet parking.
