Nobu !!!!!!! We went to Nobu on Christmas in 2021 and now we have made it back for my 55th Birthday. Why did I go back ? The atmosphere, the service, and of course the flavorful food . We decide to try other options on the menu from our last visit . Did you know you can order 1/2 of an item ? This gives you opportunity to try a few more items without being wasteful . Top notch service and quality food. Favorite : Well, it would be a tie between the Wagyu Dumplings and the Crispy Rice with spicy tuna . We also had the Black Cod and Lobster Ceviche. The food is layered with flavors in every bite . All time favorite drink , “Oni Negroni”
Our servers were outstanding. They understood we were on time restriction and the food came out in a timely manner w/o feeling rushed. Most of our table had never been to Nobu so it was a wonderful experience for them to whet their whistle to return another day!
Way too inflated and overrated! I think in general, New York City has lost the touch of reality and its trendy leadership and reputation! More greed , sterile environment and less quality ! Ohhh , please add homeless individuals on the doors of these elite establishments! Sad !

Quality food at a premium price. Specialty tuna dish that day was underwhelming though. Overall a solid place for business lunches. Noise level is fine. Spacing between tables can be bigger though.

We had a fantastic experience at Nobu! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and provided wonderful recommendations for our table. Our dishes were beautifully presented and were delicious! We consider this to be a splurge restaurant due to the price, but it was worth it and we will go back for another special occasion.

Food is exquisite; everything we ate was tasty. Crispy rice, salmon tataki, yellowtail jalapeno, black cod with miso, rock shrimp tempura, squid paste, wagyu dumplings were all very good; crispy rice, black cod and rock shrimp were the best. Our waitress was great; one worker who was cleaning up the table was taking the food away before we finished it, which was annoying; not only he was not asking if we were done, but was not listening when I was telling him not to take it away. Other than that, it was a great experience.
The service was incredible. The food was good. The only problem is that my miso cod was served cold after ten years of eating at Nobu worldwide. This was the first time I was served cold Miso Cod and its favorite dish; this was my friend's first time eating at Nobu after I had hyping it up for years. I'm very disappointed in the OG location.
We did the tasting menu. Every course was delicious, but it seemed very heavy on the sashimi and I fle like we missed out on some of the hot meals. Included a course of wagyu beef, which was great! Service was excellent. Room was very noisy. There were a few large groups which were screaming so they could be heard.

Food was very good, just a bit expensive, it's a great night out for a special occasion. Staff were very nice and noted all requests made in the booking which we really appreciated :)

Delicious food. The cold dishes a d the hot dishes were particularly delicious - a taste sensation. We had sushi too as we thought we ought to and although it was good we wish we had chosen another cold plate instead. The service was excellent and we were seated within 5 minutes
Service was great. But could hardly hear them and the people at my table. Way too noisy. Very salty. Would loved to have more options and the sushi came on demand. I guess they had it all prepared already. Did it and Probably won't ever go again.

Everything was great except the prices.I would love to watch the sushichefs create masterpieces but the cost is prohibitive. I did enjoy the House Special which was affordable.

Don’t get me wrong, everything was good but I think the reputation of Nobu set my expectations high. We had the crispy rice, toro yuzu truffle, yellowtail jalepeno, wagyu dumplings, ribeye yuzu truffle, rock shrimp, miso cod, salmon taco, tuna taco, house special roll, the doughnuts, pumpkin cake and the chocolate namelaka. Everything was good but the standouts were the wagyu dumplings, toro yuzu truffle, the doughnuts and the pumpkin cake. Nobu is good, but not as great as I thought it would be.
