As the first uptown New York location for legendary chef Nobu Matsuhisa, we opened with much anticipation in the summer of 2005.Nobu's co-owners are his longtime partners: renowned restaurateur Drew Nieporent, Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro, and Hollywood film producer Meir Teper. The restaurant showcases Nobu's signature new style Japanese cuisine with classic dishes such as Tiradito Nobu Style and Black Cod Miso. The restaurant received three stars from the New York Times.

    Food was outstanding. We ordered the omakase fixed menu. Service was fantastic. Low lighting. Exceptional presentation of the food. Wine list is not extremely large, nor is it amazing, but you can find many different choices. Stem ware is ok, but like mostAmerican restaurants I have experienced so far, very much below the level of the wines, and very very much below the level of the price charged for the wines ! Would they really pour a $2000 bottle of wine into a $8 glass ? It is quite a large restaurant, and it is busy, and it is noisy. But we loved it. Very highly recommended. We had an awesome night.

    I was frankly a bit disappointed, having dined several times at Matsuhisa in Denver. First, they sat us next to a pair of 10 year olds dining by themselves and giggling and being in a constant state of movement (NYC, right?). We got a better table but the whole ambiance was a little disheveled and not romantic at all. Food was ok at best. Definitely not worth the hype.

    Honestly, Nobu was way cooler when no one knew about it and it didn’t have so many sellout locations. Now it’s chock full of pretentious wannabes and bland, stuffy business people. When we walked in for 2pm lunch, we weren’t wearing ballgowns and our finest pearls so everyone gawked at us and made us feel super out of place as we were being taken to our table. The staff also made us feel pretty unwelcome as if our casual attire meant we were gonna dine and dash or something ha. I ordered two glasses of wine for me and my date because we didn’t know which bottle we wanted, so we were going to have a couple glasses and then decide on a bottle. But they rushed us through the entire meal, never asked if we wanted more wine once we finished our glasses, kept circling the table like vultures trying to clear dishes before we were finished with them, then disappeared for 20 minutes while we were trying to pay the check. On our way out, i said “thanks have a nice day” to the hosts and they legitimately looked me up and down and then ignored me, didn’t say a word. Honestly, worst $350 I’ve ever spent. I used to really love Nobu, but after this experience, I won’t be returning to support any of their locations. Their team needs a serious attitude adjustment. Just because we had on normal casual attire doesn’t mean you should assume that we couldn’t possibly afford your extremely overpriced menu. I came to enjoy a nice meal but instead, left extremely disappointed and disheartened.

    Service was not good. My husband's miso soup was not brought with mine but rather much later. His meal was also brought a long time after mine. The table next to us did not receive their order -- I heard them explaining to the waiter in French that they had to leave. Also, as others have said, it's freezing in the room. On the other hand, most of the food is very good. I got a bento box and most of it was delicious -- especially the black cod . It was also a lot of food. However, the sushi was not better than in much less expensive restaurants.

    We had dinner on Sunday night the 7th of May 2023. The waiters were really friendly and the food was outstanding. Nobu is quite pricey, but it's more than worth it. We love that you can taste many different things throughout the night and although it's a large restaurant, we sat in a cosy part of the restaurant.

    You would expect this to be an expensive, special occasion restaurant and you would be right. Went with friends who were not fresh fish fans, they were certainly won over. The short ribs were the top of the list though the yellowtail with citrus packed a wow punch. I am celiac and every server was sensitive and told me which dishes were ok and made sure I still had a special meal.

    Food and service were great, as usual. We had the yellowtail jalapeño, new style sashimi salmon, rock shrimp ponzu, spinach salad with dry miso, creamy spicy crab, snow crab sashimi and king salmon sushi…all were delicious. Oh, and the tofu & vegetables in spicy garlic sauce which was also delicious.
