Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Nobu Istanbul offers an "absolutely fabulous" dining experience with "amazing" views of the Bosphorus. The service is "exceptional," especially during the omakase experience. Standout dishes include the "astonishingly good" yellowtail jalapeño and miso cod. While some sushi dishes and welcome experiences received mixed reviews, the ambiance and decor are "great."

    the atmosphere was stunning and staff was friendly, but the sushi and sashimi surprisingly disappointing (especially considering the reputation of the NOBU chain) - I can recommend the miso cod and beef sando though.

    Ordered black cod and it was full of bones - embarrasing and no quality control - this Nobu is way below rest of world nobus. Also it should be more clear that only non smoking area is bar seating

    It was most exquisite and delightful. The food was different in many ways but all had the perfect texture and taste. It wasn’t only a feast for the mouth but also for the eyes. Mustafa, our waiter, chose the menu for us which was excellent. All in all it was one of the best restaurants we‘ve ever been to.

    Mittelmässiges Essen, unaufmerksamer Service. Preis-Leistung passt nicht. Unerwartet für ein Nobu.

    The omakase experience was not the best. Food had a fishy aftertaste. And we are sushi lovers.
