    Un gran lugar con excelente comida, lástima que el servicio no fue de acuerdo al nivel del NOBU, se tardaron mucho en el segundo tiempo y el postre lo tuvimos que cancelar, buen lugar con servicio muy lento.

    We ordered 3 sets of omakase signature and out of 7 courses 3 we served in bulk like one plate for 3 of us where my experience of omakase was tailor made for each person.

    This time Nobu surprised us with timely and good service. The food arrived quickly and was very delicious. The restaurant wasn’t full, and maybe this is the reason for the good experience we had.

    Bad service. Took forever for them to even give us a menu, and I had to ask to place my order instead of them coming up to me. Disappointed

    A regular customer of the restaurant all over the world, really bad service, the waitress didn't know how to speak English, she didn't know how to recommend anything to us. My wife is pregnant, they didn't know how to tell her which dishes are suitable for her. The table wobbled and we had to ask several times to fix it after 25 minutes it happened and there were free tables in the restaurant also they put us on the floor alone the 7th floor we were alone in the restaurant not pleasant at all instead of sitting on the 6th floor with everyone A really bad experience and not suitable for a Novo restaurant. Very disappointing. We were expecting a fun evening but it wasn't

    When you get past the ‘too cool for school’ atmosphere (dark lighting, mood music, aloof staff) the food is perfection. The restaurant was so dark I couldn’t read the menu! That said sushi, tacos, spicy edamame, teriyaki chicken all amazing. The price is first class especially compared to London. 10 out of 10 for food.

    A great experience we tried both taster menus between 2 of us. Point to note that the location is a bit tricky to get to via road from other parts of Istanbul.

    Horrible service! I expected better from Nobu. Wait times were long. We weren’t offered a drink after seating for atleast 20 mins. We did the 7 course meal and waited 15-20 mins in between every course. Servers didn’t seem to care, did not come to even check in. I’d skip the Nobu in Istanbul. It explains why it was so dead in there. The bar area however was good. I’d only go there for drink before dinner at another place.

    In general after our complaint to the management after our arrival, things started to go better. What concerned me was when we had arrived, the hostess had indicated that we could not be seated at the bar area as it was only 18 year and above allowed. my son was 18 years old. Maybe the more appropriate manner would be was to ask first the ages before making it look obvious. Then we where placed at our table without being introduced to the waiter who would take care of us. We subsequently sat there for about 10 minutes at which time I confronted the manager if we where going to be served. Normally the host would offer some drinks etc...We have frequented the restaurant in Dubai ad get a totally different kind of experience there

    Amazing experience sitting next to Chef Nobu. Our visit was totally unplanned and did not expect to see him but that made our dining special. Food was amazing, well thought of dishes and exquisite flavors. The Service: I noticed the staff was very attentive but not focused on their customers. Our waiter had to be the worst waiter I’ve had at any fine dining establishment. Very inexperienced, no customer service skills and the level of service was not where it needed to be for this type of establishment. No greeting, no check ups. After we were done and wanted the check he was nowhere to found. I had pay my check with a different waiter, so unprofessional.
