March 2024:We went here a 2nd time for dinner. This time on the weekend. The restaurant was full. It was hectic. Unfortunately also with the service. This time the stress was clearly noticeable. The dishes were no longer always explained beautifully. That's a real shame, especially when it comes to the chef's work. You would have to take this time because it is not exactly standard sushi. The creations require explanation to be fully enjoyed. You didn't notice anything about the quality of the food. These were still at the highest level. My recommendation: one to two more people in service or otherwise accept fewer reservations. The noise level was also unpleasantly high because of all the people.That's why now only 4 instead of 5 stars.September 2023We were here for dinner. I recommend a reservation. We had the sushi and handroll menu. The quality of the sushi I selected was the best I have ever had, and I have been to many Japanese restaurants, including Masa in NYC. The quality was excellent and even with the small toppings, which fit perfectly, it was a really great experience. It was so good that we ordered some more sushi instead of dessert. The service was attentive. There is also a good selection of sake and Japanese beers here.

Mostly sushi. Lunch set is available. Portion size is small. Relatively expensive for sushi and handrolls. I didn't find it too impressive.Can't find street parking on weekends.

We started with The Earl Grey Martini and Red Pom cocktails which were delicious and not too sweet. The hand rolls are the highlight. I got the spicy yellowtail and the lobster. I liked the spicy yellowtail more because the fish was so fresh!! I should have gotten 3 because they are a bit small, but luckily we ordered a lot.We also got the grilled octopus that comes with marinated mushrooms and potato chips and those were great. The fried rice was delicious and filling. We also got the shrimp dumplings and those melted in your mouth, but are a little spicy.Matcha cheesecake is a must for dessert.

What’s a Nobu and how did you spell DomoDomo so incorrectly? ;).Jokes aside, go here and do the chef tasting menu… you won’t regret it. I’ve gone 5-10 times and brought a dozen or so people, everyone is blown away by it.
Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere! If you like sushi, you should try it out. :)Parking: Paid parking garage can be found fairly easily.

I simply love this place!! I visit here at least once a week, and it has never disappointed me. The food is always amazing, and the manager and servers are always super nice and friendly. The whole experience is always just so pleasant. It is one of the most popular places around the area, so it can be quite busy sometimes, but totally worth it.

I was honestly very disappointed at the service and food safety at this restaurant. I took my sisters and my nieces and nephews, and we ordered two Domakase, the most expensive menu on the item, along with many other main dish (totaling $300-ish for three adults and three young children) And, in Wagyu Soba, there was this long cut of plastic. Luckily my sister spit it out, but it could have been really dangerous and potentially my 2yr old niece could have eaten it by accident. I’m not sure if they thought we “planted” it there but the server wanted to take it back to the kitchen first. After confirming it was their mistake, they came back from the kitchen and the server apologized. I thought at least the manager would come out and apologize but nope! Haha It happened on 2/23/24 around 1:30pm. I didn’t make a fuss as my young nieces and nephew were there, but what made me even more upset was that they automatically included 20% tip in the bill. They did give us one extra dessert, which by the way tasted meh (some black pudding) and we didn’t even want it. I walked out feeling really mad but didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to ruin the beginning of my family vacation. I’ve been here twice before the pandemic and I know I’m never going to come back to this place again. Don’t want to remember the terrible experience today. If you still decide to eat here, go through your food to ensure there’s no hard plastic there. Or enjoy the micro plastics well mixed in your food. You might get lucky on your first visit, but would you want to risk eating plastics?

We all had Domakase and loved it. Flavors were so delicate yet prominent, presentation was lovely, food quality was great, service - just right. My personal favorites were oysters with beautifully created toppings and sauces, black cod (omg so good, buttery, flaky), scallop sushi (another buttery winner), soba (flavor forward!) and last but not least, black sesame panna cotta. If you're not into sweet desserts, this one is for you! Rich, creamy, not something you usually get, even at a Japanese restaurant. My only recommendation to the restaurant would be to dim the lights and turn down the heat inside.Parking: Big parking lot right in front of the restaurant. You can conveniently pay through the app ParkMobil.

The atmosphere is super good, the roll is very delicious, I ordered the wrong soup and got noodles instead, the Japanese old fashion is also delicious, and the fried rice is also great!
Very sweet marination on a lot of the fish.
