- CSCatherine ShihJan 6, 20265.0Both the food and service were good. Our server did mess up our orders but was able to clear it up once we mentioned it. The music was super loud making it hard to hear conversation at the dinner table. Would maybe go again.
- CCC.E.Dec 30, 20255.0Took my team here for a holiday team dinner. Everything was amazing. The food is excellent and the service is top notch. This is such a great restaurant especially for a medium sized group. They have preset menses where they just bring amazing food out for a couple hours. Only thing I would change is the strange steak with a Mexican style sauce it didn’t match the dinner at all.
- MGMario Alex GonzalezDec 28, 20255.0Nobu has a very high reputation to uphold, and yet it still managed to exceed all expectations. The dishes were delicious, creative, and a marvel to look at. All of the fish was perfectly fresh, and the sauces and garnishes paired perfectly with their flavors. The cooked dishes (especially the wagyu wontons, black miso cod) were insanely tender and flavorful, a welcome addition to the roll options that were also fantastic. All of the sides were pleasantly surprising, making unique textures and flavors out of unexpected vegetables, especially the artichoke salad. With a very high standard for service, it is a dining experience that is worth the excursion to celebrate truly fine dining.
- APAntonina PavliukDec 24, 20255.0Amazing atmosphere and an overall incredible experience. The food is outstanding, everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The drinks are excellent, perfectly crafted, and the sushi is hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. Nobu Newport Beach truly lives up to its reputation. Highly recommend! 🍣✨
