If you want an enjoyable time, friendly people, pleasant atmosphere, good service and really good Japanese cuisine, this ain't the place! ”

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

Not the most romantic place, would not recommend for a first date. ”

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

My boyfriend surprised me with a romantic birthday dinner here--it definitely lived up to the hype. ”
- “
really creative presentation by highly skilled chefs in a beautiful atmosphere. ”

=) It was definitely very fun - except for the part where you only have 2 hour reservations, so they rush you out and don't get to enjoy your courses as much as you would want to =( ”

The decor was nice and the service was decent. ”

The atmosphere is just like any other expensive restaurant. ”

nice atmosphere. ”

FRESH japanese food, Great customer service, minimal decor ”
- “
The atmosphere would have been almost perfect if it werent for the fact that we were seat right naext to the noisy kitchen but I guess the speedy service comes with a price. ”

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

The decor is stunning with an Asian rock wall, seats resting on what look like chopsticks; nothing has been spared. ”

The decor and atmosphere are comfortable, the service seamless and a little snobby as was the host who took reservation. ”

everything except dessert horrible. ”

Luckily, the Bento Box (warm chocolate souffle cake with shiso syrup, a GREAT combination) helped us recover. ”

If you like desserts, order the chocolate souffle! ”

However, the dessert was the best. ”

The food was poor, both ths ignature black cod and bento box dessert were sub-par; the shrimp tempura was downright inedible. ”

The food is excellent here - don't miss the green tea ice-cream bento box for desert. ”

The bento box was also boring, everyone has a warm molten chocolate cake and the green tea ice cream tasted vanilla. ”

Not the sushi experience I had hoped for, the waiter we had was rude and almost incomprehensible. ”

what a waste of time with a stomache ache from bad fish! ”
- “
And the quality of the food was just great. ”

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. ”

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 ”

Edamame, sashimi salad,tuna tataki, rock shrimp, miso glazed cod, calamari salad, yellowtail with jalapeno and cilantro, and lobster salad WERE ALL PERFECTLY DELICIOUS. ”

The yellowtail and cod were excellent and the best of the dishes we ordered. ”

The food was creative and every dish lived up to my expectations. ”

The food was delicious and on the cutting edge. ”

had a great meal worth every penny. ”

The kobe beef is the best I've had anywhere. ”

- “
good food. ”
- “
Although Nobu is hardly a value, some very good food is available. ”
- “
When I told him the sushi was warm he removed my plate and never gave me anything else. ”

Best of all was the price which was much lower than anticipated - the perfect end to a great meal. ”

Hands down Nobu is the best sushi I have ever had. ”

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. ”

When I got there everything was nice, it was a nice place, the food was good, but not amazing. ”

The sushi has always been mediocre but what they make well they make well. ”

food is great but the sushi is good ”
- “
The sushi & sashimi was fresh and melted in your mouth. ”

No worries if you're not familiar with Japanese cuisine, the excellent service fills the void. ”

The sushi had good texture but was generally uninspired, and the rice was not the best. ”
- “
The food just okay, the presentaiotn of all our dishes was beautiful. ”
- “
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! ”
- “
Of course there is a certain aura to the place, but that aside, the food is mediocre. ”
- “
Some dishes are good -like 3- but not much else. ”
- “
LOVE the burst of flavor in each dish. ”

Phenomenal sushi , pricey, but worth it (Plan on making reservations far in advance). ”

By reputation and word of mouth, Nobu's food was truly excellent. ”
- “
The flavors of the dishes are so incredible. ”

okay food, not so good service ”

Whoever says the food here is great obviously never tasted great japanese food before. ”

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. ”
- “
would recommend Nobu to any sushi lover ”
- “
Times may a change, but Nobu's food is still amazing! ”
- “
The food was decadent, the portions generous, the service impeccable. ”

There were a couple of notable dish's (shrimp tempura) and the black cod was also good. ”

The Kobe beef was also quite delicious. ”
- “
The food is way overpriced! ”

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

The food is excellent, and service is friendly, maybe a bit slow for typical New Yorker. ”

For great sushi go to Tomoe or Sushi Samba! ”

If your paying top dollar not only should the food be great the service and ambience as well. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
Eating at Nobu was one of the most delicious experiencies in my life. ”
- “
and the dishes Are AMAZING! ”
- “
The signature dishes are the way to go if you have never dined here, but the sushi is equally delicious. ”

The whole experience was annoying, the food pretty poor and 2 hours later I still smell like the place. ”
- “
sucky waitstaff, poor food ”
- “
The best meal of my life -- every dish blew me away. ”

The food was wonderful. ”

highly recommend the Pineapple Martini- delicious! ”
- “
Overall the food was great but I think once was enough for me. ”
- “
The food is of course, heavenly. ”
- “
Tonight marks my fourth visit since then, and every time, the food - the cold dishes in particular - seem more amazing than I remembered! ”
- “
The place itself is a little cramped, but the food, the staff and the service were impeccable. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
It is the best japanese restaurant I have ever been to, and I've been to many as sushi is my favorite food. ”
- “
The sushi is good, but not the best. ”
- “
Its so-called famous black cod and Kobe beef are merely fish and beef drowned in soy-sauce. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
delicious & great service! ”
- “
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. ”
- “
Although Nobu has great Japanese cuisine, their actual sushi is overpriced & nothing special at all. ”

BUT you must expect to pay extraordinary amounts of money for good food! ”

The food was excellent but please there are other really good restaurants out there! ”
- “
The food was superb and the presentation beutifull. ”
- “
The food and service was exceptional and I enjoyed my dining experience from the moment i arrived until I left. ”
- “
but overall is good place other than the over price sushi. ”
- “
The food was definitely good. ”
- “
Bad food, poor atmosphere, funky smell, stinking bathroom. ”
- “
Especially bad was the sea urchin, which was NOT fresh, and in retrospect should have been sent back. ”
- “
After all that, it is average food at best with huge bill at the end. ”
- “
sashimi salad was really good (small slivers of tuna filet in a citrus-sesame sauce). ”
- “
Unique style and great food ”
- “
And the lychee martini made with sake is refreshing and delicious. ”
- “
If you want an enjoyable time, friendly people, pleasant atmosphere, good service and really good Japanese cuisine, this ain't the place! ”
- “
Very creative, the place is OK, the food good. ”
- “
always have the most amazing food here! ”
- “
we had the best sushi ever. ”
- “
would never normally order cod at a restaurant, but at Nobu it might be the best fish I've ever had. ”
- “
Heed this advice - order one roll of sushi for a taste, but stick to the unique and flavorful dishes unparalleled by any other restaurant. ”
- “
Fish was fresh and tasty. ”
- “
food and presentation are excellent. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
why is this on everyone's list of favorite japanese and sushi. ”
- “
used to travel a lot and it was not easy to find a reservation at the restaurant, but we went there, wait and we had the great opportunity to have seat at the sushi bar, and it was superb, waiting was worthly! ”
- “
An institution of Great food has become a watercooler restaurant. ”
- “
or 7 courses of the best fish I've ever had, each of which flawlessly presented and explained by the very friendly and attentive staff. ”
- “
For good Kobe beef, go to Japan. ”
- “
The sashimi was at least fresh. ”
- “
Overall, the food was good, but not awe inspiring. ”
- “
Fortunately though, the food is as superb as ever; the sashimi salad was wonderfully fresh, whilst the black cod was a knock-out as usual. ”
- “
Every piece was meagerly sized and tasted like it could have been from any neighborhood sushi restaurant (and not your good neighboorhood sushi restaurant). ”
- “
The oysters were warm as was the sushi that was served over dry rice. ”
- “
Cutting edge cuisine, attentive & professional service, and a room brimming with excitement. ”
- “
The Tuna with salad is the most amazing dish. ”
- “
The great thing is that all our dishies was very fresh and tasty. ”
- “
ate here during Restaurant Week and the food was excellent as was the service. ”
- “
Excellent variety and, for New York and for the amount of food you get, reasonably priced omakase. ”
- “
Even the excellent food can't replace our opinion of Nobu. ”
- “
Would go back, the cod was out of this world, salad was yummy, sushi was fresh. ”
- “
We have been spoiled by Sydney food and did not think we could find such good food in the US - we were wrong. ”
- “
The food is a bit pricey, but for its quality it is well worth it. ”
- “
Best Japanese food in NYC! ”
- “
have had my share of exquisite meals but don't consider myself overexposed to great food by any stretch. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
must say that Nobu is the best sushi I have ever tasted. ”
- “
The service was excellent, the dishes were pleasing, but I really didnt find my black cod dish, a big deal. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
while I still must try the world-renowned sushi, I had a fantastic experience nonetheless -- and the tempura was fabulous. ”
- “
Even their signature cod fish wasn't all that great. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
love sushi and eat it all the time and here it was boring and unoriginal, although very fresh. ”
- “
love to eat great japanese food and nobu had its hype. ”
- “
highly recommend the yellowtail appetizer and the rock tempura shrimp in the heavenly creamy spicy sauce. ”
- “
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 ”
- “
The food is now Really good, but far from great. ”
- “
The food was great, service was awesome and the experience fantastic. ”
- “
We had great service, great food, Sashimi Salad, Toro Tartar, New Sashimi, Rock Shrimp, Sea Urchin Tempura, Miso Cod, & each got assorted sashimi & sushi. ”
- “
Went to Nobunextdoor and had a good meal. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
Over all, I like sushi. ”
- “
had the salmon which was excellent, but my friends had the sushi with which they were not impressed. ”
- “
I've been here plenty of times, but don't tend to go in large groups,because it can get pretty crowded, the food is really good, I've tried ”
- “
the first time you eat at Nobu is a revelation: the mix of flavors, textures and the impossibly fresh fish. ”
- “
Unless you only want small tastes of very high-end dishes (like kobe beef, which was amazing), do your own thing! ”
- “
The cold seaafood dishes had such wonderful aroma and taste. ”
- “
The sushi is ridiculous. ”
- “
Incredible meal, but an equally incredible cost. ”
- “
great food, service. ”
- “
We were both nervous because the last time we went the dishes were not as good as usual. ”
- “
the best meal we ever ate in ny or any where else in this great country ”
- “
The yellowtail sahsimi with jalapenos has to be my favorite dish ever! ”
- “
As soon as we arrived, we were seated, greeted with exceptional customer service and ate the most divine dishes. ”
- “
The food was incredible. ”
- “
The crab is amazing as well. ”
- “
Good food, good drinks. ”
- “
the food, when it came, was good but not special. ”
- “
Everything was delicious. ”
- “
Nobu had the best Japanese cuisine I have eaten in NYC. ”
- “
Our waiter was very helpful to a couple of Nobu Noobs and suggested that we not order only sushi as they really shine in their other dishes. ”
- “
Good food ”
- “
The sashimi salad and any of the sushi rolls are great. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
But the absolute worst was the various sushi we ordered, which unfortunately came last so as to almost ruin the meal entirely. ”
- “
wow the food is expensive ,but is ok sushi just because the name is nobu but i had a nice diner there. ”
- “
really creative dishes presented perfectly. ”
- “
Everyone said it was the best sushi. ”
- “
The only reason they "seem" to taste so good is because the food is well decorated with its super small portion. ”
- “
Great food. ”
- “
However, nothing was outstanding or memorable other than the salad dressing and the Rising Sun cocktail. ”
- “
This was the best meal I ever had! ”
- “
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. ”
- “
For good sushi, go to Yasuda. ”
- “
it is amazing how this one branch is now a chain of good sushi and food. ”
- “
great food - amazing service - was strange to find both at one place! ”
- “
The service is impeccable as well as the food. ”

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. ”

had a great meal worth every penny. ”

Nobu was wayyy too expensive for me. ”

Some of the items are fairly lackluster, however, and the sushi, while good, is not a good value. ”

the portions were good of everything that we ordered. ”

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. ”

Dinner for 4 is not all that expensive since it is a sharing type of restaurant. ”

Although Nobu has great Japanese cuisine, their actual sushi is overpriced & nothing special at all. ”

My fiance & I went here for my last night in NYC and were really torn between the $120 tasting menu that everyone told us to get, or the much less expensive a-la-carte that seemed to provide exactly what we wanted. ”
