I never was a sushi addict but my boss has decided to turn me (a full 360 degrees!) into one with a weekly dose of Nobu... oh well! more

don't know what the hype is... my experience was "no, bu & bu"? maybe it's the location. but if i want signature Nobu's cuisine, I'll would go to Matsuhisa. A lot closer. more

Go here for great food, but the atmosphere is horrible. Tucked in the corner of a gross strip mall with shabby decor. The place is a money maker so put some money into it. more

The food at Nobu is always great, although it seems they know it and do not make an effort with service. Every hostess I have encountered at this restaurant seems to think they are important. That is pretty sad considering I have had to deal with 4 of them. Go for the food if you have money to splurge. more

Whoever posted that price range is crazy. $80 is probably the minimum you'd pay for anything here, but the cuisine is so delectable you wouldn't care. more

Having visited the NYC version, Nobu was the spot for my big 30 bash. My boyfriend and I ordered the 8 course tasting menu. Amazing. The food is pricey, but worth it. I definately reccomend this spot for special celebrations. more
