- UGU G3 days ago3.0I am a fan of most Nobu locations. and have been to over 6 across the country.This is by far my least favorite. Service here is really iffy, Just cold, impersonal and pretentious from the moment you step in. The fish quality is still decent but dishes are inconsistent. Most of their dishes are overseasoned and oversauced for some reason. Great location but I don't think I'll be back
- LDLeila Dablan5 days ago5.0Chris at Nobu in Lido Island was absolutely incredible! Every recommendation he made was spot on — fresh, delicious, and perfectly tailored to what we were looking for. His knowledge of the menu and attention to detail made the entire experience unforgettable. Exceptional service, amazing food, and truly a standout host. Highly recommend asking for Chris!

- JGJay. Gee.Oct 28, 20254.0The food here is... Good. Not great. Don't get me wrong. Everything is well done but the flavors are familiar. Nothing is innovative or "new*.
