    Needs updates. Feels like a cafeteria rather than a top tier spot. Kobe beef was not even right compared to all the other ones we have been to. The sear over cooked it.

    The food was excellent but the general ambiance and level of service was not up to par with the price point. While our server was very friendly and clearly trying his best, there was a huge disconnect in terms of timing for drinks and food. We ordered cocktails as soon as we were seated and they didn't arrive until almost halfway through our meal. The first set of dishes arrived immediately -- almost too quickly -- then there was a long gap waiting for the next course. Our server was very apologetic and did very kindly comp our cocktails and dessert to make up for the service timing problems but for a meal that is $200 a person I expect better service. Food-wise the meal was excellent -- we especially loved the yellowtail and jalepno cold starter; the crispy rice spicy tuna; and all the nigiri and makis were of excellent quality.

    Nobody needed updating and cleaning everything was shabby disappointed New York experience was 100% better. The server was OK and they put the food down. It just plopped it down. It was disorientated and I was not happy. It was our anniversary we come from bermuda and the whole entire experience was not up to Nobu standards

    I don’t usually write reviews but i wanted to make sure i wrote this …. I truly loved my birthday experience here. They were super accommodating and kind. This was my first time here and we had a blast! The food and drinks were amazing! Our server was very informative about the menu and even suggested different foods and drinks. Thank you to the manager and staff for all of your hospitality. We enjoyed our birthday. Thank you

    Celebrated our daughter’s 21st birthday at Nobu. The meal is served family styles as several small plates shared with the table. Food was top quality! Everything was delicious! Service was extremely attentive and we never felt rushed. Less than five stars was attributable to the cost. I understand, you pay for quality. At this price point though it’s a restaurant that we’d only visit on the most special of occasions and I’d doubt we’d bring more than our family of four to dine.
