Nobu Atlanta is situated at Phipps Plaza in the affluent Buckhead neighborhood. With influence from Atlanta's lush canopy of trees and Japanese arts and crafts, the bar and lounge area features a white onyx bar volume that sits in front of a 12-foot-long river rock art installation while folded cast glass pendants cast a soft glow on the bar. The dining room takes you to traditional Japanese garden pavilions that were often used for ceremonies and rituals while overscale pendants made from shoji paper create the look of elongated, abstracted paper lanterns. Design language that is a continuation of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's imaginative and innovative culinary offerings celebrates nature and is integrated through the use of different wood tones

Nobu was good until it wasn't. Service started off good. Drinks and some appetizers were good. As we ordered additional items things started to slow down. On a positive note the Tuna Tacos and crispy rice spicy Tuna were very good. The yellow tail didn't taste good and was sent back. Unusual for Nobu. The rock shrimp Tempura was the best I have had in a long time. We then ordered the Teriyaki chicken it took over 30 minutes and 2 scoops of sorbet when we were ready to leave took 15-20 min. and came out as Gelato. We exchanged for the correct sorbet which was just ok. By the way the way the chicken was very good. The waiter apologized as well as the manager. The manager did step up and comp the chicken and dessert. I had to have them remove the bad yellow tail from the check. My impression is they don't have enough help. The food was good, but Nobu should be excellent food and service. Really hope they improve since Nobu in my opinion has always been elite. I have dined at Nobu in London, NY, Miami, LA and its always been excellent. For the money it was disappointing.

we asked our server for a variety of sushi items at the chefs selection. The waiter took it upon himself to order the most expensive entrées (wage, lobster!) that we did not request. Our bill was over $1000. I will never go back. The interiors are ugly and dark.

I thought the menu was way over priced. I ordered a lobster taco $11 and fish taco $10, the tacos were the size of a finger. I've never been so insulted in my life over paying for something so worthless. A seltzer water $10. Bought on other entre which was like bang bang shrimp. Add that up, $100 bill and still hungry.

All I can say is that we had an incredible experience. Had dinner with my brother visiting from Chicago and my children 12 and 17. I made late reservations at 10:30 PM. because we went to the United Soccer game. We arrived early and requested to be seated early. They honored our request with great seats in the middle of the dining room across from the sushi bar. Lots of celebrity people watching and great food. Steak was excellent, sushi was freah and the rice dish with mushrooms was dreamy. NO LEFTOVERS. I would highly recommend it.

Noah, Noah, Noah, lol! I can’t thank you enough for making our experience one to remember. NOBU was an immediate choice to celebrate my best friend graduating college and you sure made that experience everything we could have hoped for. I appreciated never having to look for you bc you were always right there, your help ordering the best items on the menu, but mostly how much you cared that we had a great experience! And the bestie now calls you her homeboy! Lol! It can be hard meeting the needs of all personalities that sit, especially at our table but you did it will such grace! And I’m grateful! The food was amazing and the drinks are another reason we WILL be back! Thanks for everything!!

I came for a birthday party, they were out if the Steak dumplings so we couldn't order that. The entire table wanted to try that entree and we all were excited about this course. I brought in a bday cake for my girlfriend and when I asked the server to bring it out, he brought out a desert that one of our guest ordered and wrote happy birthday on it. We had to speak to a manager to have him bring out the other cake which the surprise was already ruined. I wouldn’t recommend any bday gathering or large groups. We were excited to come and left disappointed.

The service was very attentive and personable and kind. The only wish was that the lighting wasn’t so bright. A more relaxing lighting seems more appropriate for the beautiful space…at least during the dinner hours.

This is a tasting restaurant with itsy-bitsy portions. It is not for big eaters or even normal people. I can’t image to many men like this place. I went with a girlfriend and when the first dish arrived, I immediately thought my husband would hate this place. We had the Tiradito cold dish ($30) and the pieces were so small I couldn’t even taste them. Same for the Yellowtail Jalapeño Maki. The House Special Maki was ok. The only item I liked was the Crispy Okra, which was very good and the sauce even better. The atmosphere is great, of course, and the service was very good. The restaurant is hard to find, fyi. The cocktail I had was great (Elderflower) and a heavy portion (which is so weird). Much better place just for cocktails, I will never go back.

Visiting ATL and decided to try Nobu in Buckhead. Read reviews before coming and they were mixed described bad service and just ok food to food not worth the price. I still decided to give them a try. Nice restaurant loved the atmosphere and waiter was attentive so it started off great. As time went on the waiter tended to disappear for long periods of time although it was not overly crowded for a Friday night. Food was ok, it was good but not amazing. It was a bit pricey but expected so that was not a big deal but what was not expected was the attitude the waiter seemed to have after he saw his tip reflected his service. He picked up his money/receipts and didn't say a word to his customers not even when we left and passed him on the way out. I was really wanting an amazing dining experience but Nobu definitely fell short.

This is the second time I have visited Nobu Atlanta. As a regular guest of Nobu 57, Nobu Atlanta was not even in the same league. The food was horrible and not even remotely comparable. My favorite tuna with crispy rice look like pale pink mush instead of chunks of fresh tuna. The spicy edamame was slimy and the jalapeño tuna was just bland. The service was very good but not good enough for a return visit. There are too many great restaurants in Atlanta to return to Nobu. Very disappointing.

I ordered a cocktail and it never came. So When another server asked me how I was doing, I said “a I ordered a cocktail and it never came.” She apologized and said she would bring me one. But that one never came, either. By the time the server swung by again to ask if there was anything else I needed, I was long-finished with my meal. I asked her what happened to the cocktail I ordered and she apologized and said she didn’t know. WTF is going on at Nobu?!?

Wonderful experience! The service can be spotty, but everyone is always very friendly and helpful! Many of the items on the menu are small in portion and expensive. However, the food is always high quality. We ordered the black cod as we have many times in the past at Nobu restaurants, but this last time the portions were extremely large, so we were very surprised at that! The dessert selection could use some improvement, but the miso vanilla cake is delicious. It's definitely not cheap to eat here, but you always come away feeling like you had a special time at Nobu!

My husband and I dined here for his birthday, everything was amazing, food was superb; the only issue I had was I made sure to request a birthday dessert prior to which was not told to my waitress and his dessert came out plain with no candle or 'happy birthday' as promised if I purchased, I spoke with the waitress she said she wasn't aware however she made it up before we left and came out with a nice dessert.

Great service on a Sunday evening. I tried the yellowtail jalapeño, baby corn with truffle honey, Australian lamb chop mustard miso and herb panko, tempura asparagus, & nobu style baked alaska + lychee & elderflower martini—flavorful dishes, i’d recommend. Loved the restaurant’s inside ambience.

My husband and I went for our anniversary and we recommend 100%! We ordered the lychee martini, spicy margarita, and Nobu old fashioned. To eat we started off with the spicy shrimp, and for the entrees we ordered the black cod with miso and 22 oz ribeye. Lastly, we got the baked Alaska for dessert. We went on a Saturday at 8 pm and although it was full, this DID NOT hinder the service. Our server was attentive, very friendly, and knowledgeable! He gave us a little bit of history on the restaurant and chef since it was our first time. We will definitely be coming back!

Wanted to love Atlanta Nobu, but it unfortunately fell quite short. The service absolutely does not live up to the Nobu legacy and the ambiance was questionable. The tables felt stuffed together and just not worthy of a $400 dinner. Don't get me wrong; the nigiri is phenomenal. The Wagu dumplings were pretty good. But does it make up for the lackluster services? I don't think so. Save your shekels for one of the amazing omakase experiences popping up around Atlanta.

My husband and I ate here for our anniversary. MC was our server who made great recommendations, congratulated us on our anniversary and helped us to make great food selections. We enjoyed the salmon tacos, the beef skewers, the spicy garlic vegetables, the black cod and the teriyaki chicken with a lychee martini and the old fashion. All of it was wonderful. We also had the shortbread and baked Alaska for dessert. Both were perfectly prepared. We’ll return here, hopefully sooner than later.

Customer service is great . This is my second time at this location . The lamb was really good , the yellow tail is always fabulous . But the lobster tacos and salmon tacos . We’re not as good as the first time I had them . It seemed less prepared . Less flavor . But overall i enjoyed myself . Cocktails were also good . Next time I’ll book a earlier reservation . So I can enjoy the meal more and not feel like the cooks were rushed . Cause of the kitchen closing
