    Excellent food, value, and service. We’ve been to four other Nobu restaurants and this was by far the best value!

    Service was very slow today compared to all the other times I’ve been there. Additionally, they confirmed that they had that it’s my bday today but the dessert came with no acknowledgment. I love Nobu but today’s service was disappointing.

    We have been to many Nobus and even this Nobu back in 2018 but felt it was not the same magic experience it used to be. Our service guy seemed stretched covering too many tables, we had to wait longer than usual for food.

    Not a Celebrity, Just a Paying Customer The food was good, but the service? Absolutely disappointing — especially considering the bill was over $300. I may not be a celebrity, but I paid with the same currency they do. We were seated and left waiting for nearly 10 minutes before anyone even offered us water. Keep in mind there’s a strict 1 hour and 45 minute time limit at this restaurant, so the delay was not only frustrating but also cut into our dining experience. Raul was the only one who seemed to care—he offered us water, and I appreciated that. Trying to flag down a server felt like I was invisible. They literally looked away from me as I tried to make eye contact. Our actual server eventually showed up but never introduced herself. She had a hair scrunchie on her wrist—working around food—which didn’t exactly scream professionalism. Her attitude made it clear we were an inconvenience, not guests. Funny how no one had an issue showing up when the check arrived. They lingered, watching closely to see which tip option I would select. That part of the service? Prompt and attentive. This place doesn’t need my review—it’s obvious they’re used to high traffic and hype. But here’s the truth: it’s the everyday diners like us who keep their business alive. And with service like this, I’d honestly prefer sushi from 7-Eleven

    The front house staff are probably the rudest people I’ve ever met. They came up with some lame excuse that we couldn’t move our table because the owners were coming. No owner was sat at any table while we were there. The manager was rude. The hostess seemed like she didn’t care about anything. Overall just rude people selling fish.
