“Practical decent international japanese”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

Bento boxes, Cod, and various Japanese and fusion cuisine. The place caters to local and expatriates.Special fish and ships meal called Martin's special, named I believe after a broker Martin Hesketh (aka. Smudgey) who kept going there. Good for standard business lunch.

“Very good, but a sterile atmosphere plus skyhigh prices”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2012

luckily, we were guests of a friend / so nto to worry too much.
Nobu clearly is different - much less crowded, much more a kind of sitdown dinner place, lage room with hige tables. less noisy though, than london.
Food was very good, no complaints, i think we spent easily 150 euro per head,
and got a few strange elements of food. smallish!

might really want to try original japanese

Remember, did Nobu not start in the US?

“Great Japanese food outside Japan”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

The truth is that in Tokyo you eat very well everywhere you go specially Sushi. So visiting Nobu
is just another restaurant with a nice atmosphere that really has nothing to do with what we know
in other cities. So in Tokyo better to try other restaurants and leave Nobu to have a nice dinner in LONDON, DUBAI NEW YORK, MIAMI. ATHENS, Beijing and many other cities that Matsuhisa is present.

“Good but a bit of a sparse atmosphere.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2012

Don't get me wrong, the cuisine is always great at Nobu- but there is something lacking in the sparse atmosphere. It is definitely a place to see and be seen dining at in Tokyo- and my sea bass was excellent, the dessert box was stupendous, and the wine list quite comprehensive, though over-priced. I would recommend this place for business dinners or adult gatherings rather than for a romantic dinner. A drink at the bar is nice before dining. Ask for a table along the window if you want a quiet spot.
