The atmosphere is just like any other expensive restaurant. ”

Bad food, poor atmosphere, funky smell, stinking bathroom. ”

If your paying top dollar not only should the food be great the service and ambience as well. ”

Lastly, overall ambiance was classy but certainly NOT romantic and the guests were pretentious. ”

The decor is great and the service too. ”

really creative presentation by highly skilled chefs in a beautiful atmosphere. ”

Nice decor in that tres Tribeca style. ”

However, the dessert was the best. ”

The food was good, especially the tuna tartar and the oyster in their special sauce. ”

An institution of Great food has become a watercooler restaurant. ”

Some dishes are good -like 3- but not much else. ”

wow the food is expensive ,but is ok sushi just because the name is nobu but i had a nice diner there. ”
- “
There were a couple of notable dish's (shrimp tempura) and the black cod was also good. ”
- “
Really expensive and okay sushi ”
- “
Its so-called famous black cod and Kobe beef are merely fish and beef drowned in soy-sauce. ”

while I still must try the world-renowned sushi, I had a fantastic experience nonetheless -- and the tempura was fabulous. ”
- “
The food and service was exceptional and I enjoyed my dining experience from the moment i arrived until I left. ”

The wagyu (more expensive than the washu listed on the menu) was good but I did not think the preparation was effective in bringing out the texture and flavor of the meat and I have had much better elsewhere. ”

we had the best sushi ever. ”

The food was wonderful. ”
- “
The yellowtail sahsimi with jalapenos has to be my favorite dish ever! ”
- “
The only reason they "seem" to taste so good is because the food is well decorated with its super small portion. ”
- “
Some of the items are fairly lackluster, however, and the sushi, while good, is not a good value. ”
- “
the best meal we ever ate in ny or any where else in this great country ”
- “
If your paying top dollar not only should the food be great the service and ambience as well. ”

Times may a change, but Nobu's food is still amazing! ”

really creative dishes presented perfectly. ”

would never normally order cod at a restaurant, but at Nobu it might be the best fish I've ever had. ”
- “
After all that, it is average food at best with huge bill at the end. ”
- “
The service is impeccable as well as the food. ”
- “
By reputation and word of mouth, Nobu's food was truly excellent. ”
- “
Everything we had wasn't authentic Japanese, but all of them maintained a flavour from Japan - in either the ingredients or the seasoning , and I think the "fusion" turns out to be superb. ”
- “
The signature dishes are the way to go if you have never dined here, but the sushi is equally delicious. ”
- “
BUT you must expect to pay extraordinary amounts of money for good food! ”
- “
Incredible meal, but an equally incredible cost. ”
- “
The servers are fast and efficient, though have some language difficulties and talk very fast, so sometimes it's hard to hear the description of the food. ”

Nobu has the best Japanese food in New York bar none. ”

However, nothing was outstanding or memorable other than the salad dressing and the Rising Sun cocktail. ”

most of the cooked food is great, sushi is good but if you want sushi, go somewhere that specializes in sushi like Yasuda or Kuruma. ”
- “
The food is excellent and the black cod is too die for, so good that you don't want to share any of it with a table of more than 5! ”
- “
Especially bad was the sea urchin, which was NOT fresh, and in retrospect should have been sent back. ”
- “
did enjoy the yellowtail jalepeno, the wild alaskan salmon sashimi salad, and the salmon sushi at the end, but I would have enjoyed even more a la carte softshell crab roll, more maki rolls, etc. ”
- “
people watching is fun but overall I'm sure you are all content with your local sushi place that yes does serve fresh sushi, go for a drink but not a $20.00 roll. ”

The next day I ate so much delicious simple honest food at Les Halles that I could barely walk my way out of the place, for 1/3 of the prize. ”

Rock Shrimp were amazing, kobe beef both sizzling and and tartar were average. ”

The food was as amazing as everyone expects, and the table captain was remarkably attentive, even standing next to the table to chat with me while my date visited the men's room. ”
- “
Overall, the food was good, but not awe inspiring. ”
- “
have had my share of exquisite meals but don't consider myself overexposed to great food by any stretch. ”
- “
Before I went to Nobu for a Restaurant Week lunch, I was told not to order the sushi -- not because it wasn't excellent, but because 1) it's harder for a relatively untrained palate to appreciate the difference between good and excellen sushi than to savo ”
- “
The sushi is ridiculous. ”
- “
The cold seaafood dishes had such wonderful aroma and taste. ”
- “
It is on of those places you feel like you must go to at some point as a New Yorker, but it was a laid-back environment that put the spotlight on great food--many courses of delicious sushi and other entrees. ”
- “
Nobu had the best Japanese cuisine I have eaten in NYC. ”
- “
The food and the service was amazing. ”
- “
Overall the food was great but I think once was enough for me. ”
- “
The food is excellent, and service is friendly, maybe a bit slow for typical New Yorker. ”
- “
No worries if you're not familiar with Japanese cuisine, the excellent service fills the void. ”
- “
Edamame, sashimi salad,tuna tataki, rock shrimp, miso glazed cod, calamari salad, yellowtail with jalapeno and cilantro, and lobster salad WERE ALL PERFECTLY DELICIOUS. ”
- “
It is the best japanese restaurant I have ever been to, and I've been to many as sushi is my favorite food. ”
- “
The food was excellent but please there are other really good restaurants out there! ”
- “
The best meal of my life -- every dish blew me away. ”

The Tuna with salad is the most amazing dish. ”

It was perhaps the best meal I had ever had. ”

Good food, good drinks. ”
- “
Excellent variety and, for New York and for the amount of food you get, reasonably priced omakase. ”
- “
And the lychee martini made with sake is refreshing and delicious. ”
- “
Heed this advice - order one roll of sushi for a taste, but stick to the unique and flavorful dishes unparalleled by any other restaurant. ”
- “
Best Japanese food in NYC! ”
- “
The sashimi was at least fresh. ”
- “
The Kobe beef was also quite delicious. ”
- “
had a great meal worth every penny. ”
- “
The food is of course, heavenly. ”
- “
Every piece was meagerly sized and tasted like it could have been from any neighborhood sushi restaurant (and not your good neighboorhood sushi restaurant). ”
- “
and the miso cod was great (and for a non-fish lovin' girl. ”
- “
delicious & great service! ”
- “
it is amazing how this one branch is now a chain of good sushi and food. ”
- “
sucky waitstaff, poor food ”
- “
We were hungry right up until the end, when we reminded the waiter that we had requested the famous Black cod miso as one of our dishes and later found out he added it on top of our already ridiculously expensive bill. ”
- “
the first time you eat at Nobu is a revelation: the mix of flavors, textures and the impossibly fresh fish. ”
- “
don't think it is too expensive for a nice dinner; I do think it is too expensive for the quality of food they serve. ”
- “
big chunks of crab and just the right amount of sauce (last time they put way too much sauce), the black cod with miso was divine, and of course the bento box was the perfect ending. ”
- “
The food just okay, the presentaiotn of all our dishes was beautiful. ”
- “
Of course there is a certain aura to the place, but that aside, the food is mediocre. ”
- “
For great sushi go to Tomoe or Sushi Samba! ”
- “
Went to Nobunextdoor and had a good meal. ”
- “
sashimi salad was really good (small slivers of tuna filet in a citrus-sesame sauce). ”
- “
We had great service, great food, Sashimi Salad, Toro Tartar, New Sashimi, Rock Shrimp, Sea Urchin Tempura, Miso Cod, & each got assorted sashimi & sushi. ”
- “
The food was creative and every dish lived up to my expectations. ”
- “
Not the sushi experience I had hoped for, the waiter we had was rude and almost incomprehensible. ”
- “
ventured out on friday night ( 08/04/06 ) in utter anticipation of the best sushi i have ever had. ”
- “
The service was excellent, the dishes were pleasing, but I really didnt find my black cod dish, a big deal. ”
- “
The oysters were warm as was the sushi that was served over dry rice. ”
- “
highly recommend the yellowtail appetizer and the rock tempura shrimp in the heavenly creamy spicy sauce. ”
- “
Maybe it was because we went during the restaurant week lunch special, but the service was not impressive at all and the food was okay, but not great. ”
- “
LOVE the burst of flavor in each dish. ”
- “
The yellowtail and cod were excellent and the best of the dishes we ordered. ”
- “
The food is now Really good, but far from great. ”
- “
When I got there everything was nice, it was a nice place, the food was good, but not amazing. ”
- “
have been several times and although the amount of food that is served with the Omakase has dwindled somewhat, the quality is still as good as ever. ”
- “
The food is excellent here - don't miss the green tea ice-cream bento box for desert. ”
- “
food is great but the sushi is good ”
- “
love to eat great japanese food and nobu had its hype. ”

Bad food, poor atmosphere, funky smell, stinking bathroom. ”

Even the excellent food can't replace our opinion of Nobu. ”

love sushi and eat it all the time and here it was boring and unoriginal, although very fresh. ”
- “
This was the best meal I ever had! ”
- “
The food is a bit pricey, but for its quality it is well worth it. ”
- “
The food was definitely good. ”
- “
The place itself is a little cramped, but the food, the staff and the service were impeccable. ”
- “
what a waste of time with a stomache ache from bad fish! ”
- “
great food - amazing service - was strange to find both at one place! ”
- “
Despite some negative reviews, I gotta say that Nobu lives up to hype as an ultra-trendy restaurant with some of the best Japanese inspired food in America. ”
- “
was appalled by the coat checker's attitude towards my guests, and that was how we started and ended our dinner which obviously help ruined the image of the notorious Nobu restaurant, a restaurant which was once my favourite fusion cuisine (not Japanese ”

For good Kobe beef, go to Japan. ”
- “
The kobe beef is the best I've had anywhere. ”
- “
would recommend Nobu to any sushi lover ”
- “
The food was decadent, the portions generous, the service impeccable. ”
- “
We ordered 3 cold dishes, 3 hot dishes and 4 sushi all had little flavor especially the fluke with spinach salad and portions were tiny. ”
- “
Unless you only want small tastes of very high-end dishes (like kobe beef, which was amazing), do your own thing! ”
- “
love the food ”
- “
The food was incredible. ”
- “
Although Nobu has great Japanese cuisine, their actual sushi is overpriced & nothing special at all. ”
- “
As soon as we arrived, we were seated, greeted with exceptional customer service and ate the most divine dishes. ”

why is this on everyone's list of favorite japanese and sushi. ”
- “
The great thing is that all our dishies was very fresh and tasty. ”
- “
highly recommend the Pineapple Martini- delicious! ”
- “
The food was superb and the presentation beutifull. ”
- “
The sushi & sashimi was fresh and melted in your mouth. ”
- “
Although Nobu is hardly a value, some very good food is available. ”

Best of all was the price which was much lower than anticipated - the perfect end to a great meal. ”
- “
and the dishes Are AMAZING! ”
- “
always have the most amazing food here! ”
- “
must say that Nobu is the best sushi I have ever tasted. ”
- “
Very creative, the place is OK, the food good. ”
- “
few minutes later a wonderful dish of Touro was placed before us. ”
- “
We were both nervous because the last time we went the dishes were not as good as usual. ”
- “
Tonight marks my fourth visit since then, and every time, the food - the cold dishes in particular - seem more amazing than I remembered! ”
- “
Hands down Nobu is the best sushi I have ever had. ”
- “
The sashimi salad and any of the sushi rolls are great. ”
- “
And the quality of the food was just great. ”
- “
Whoever says the food here is great obviously never tasted great japanese food before. ”
- “
But the absolute worst was the various sushi we ordered, which unfortunately came last so as to almost ruin the meal entirely. ”
- “
When I told him the sushi was warm he removed my plate and never gave me anything else. ”
- “
If you want an enjoyable time, friendly people, pleasant atmosphere, good service and really good Japanese cuisine, this ain't the place! ”
- “
For good sushi, go to Yasuda. ”
- “
We had the tasting menu (i dont like spicy dishs -- but my girlfriend loves them) they did one sampler for her and one for me. ”
- “
Even their signature cod fish wasn't all that great. ”
- “
Great food. ”
- “
It's obviously because of the service since when we complained about a foul smell of dirty dishrag at the sushi bar, the manager barely flinched. ”
- “
Waiter extremely friendly and had great suggestions which were to die for: yellow tail, rock shrimp and the kobe beef, which looked small, but actually filled us up. ”
- “
Everyone said it was the best sushi. ”
- “
The food was just perfect. ”
- “
Over all, I like sushi. ”
- “
The food was poor, both ths ignature black cod and bento box dessert were sub-par; the shrimp tempura was downright inedible. ”
- “
The food was mediocre, the sushi and tempura I order from my local delivery place is better. ”
- “
Everything was delicious. ”
- “
Would go back, the cod was out of this world, salad was yummy, sushi was fresh. ”
- “
FRESH japanese food, Great customer service, minimal decor ”

but overall is good place other than the over price sushi. ”
