  This review is specifically for our server, Maria. It was 3 of my girlfriends and I. We were a mix of new and returning guests, and also a hesitant sushi eater (me!) Maria was reserved, but elegant and most of all professional in her recommendations and exquisite in her service. We were sort of a lost case on what to order and she literally fed us all night. After the first dish she brought us (at her recommendation, and something we would have never order ourselves,) we told her we trusted her knowledge of the menu and asked her to bring us what she thought we’d like. Every dish was delicious and better than the last. So fresh, so flavorful. We didn’t ask what was in it. If Maria recommended it, we were going to like it! She, of course, explained every dish eloquently once at the table. But what was special is she took into consideration our dietary needs, apprehensions, what would pair with what we were each drinking. We had never experienced something like that before. She took care of us like what, I could only imagine, a private chef feels like lol. Truly a memorable dining experience. 10/10 recommend. Ask for Maria if it’s your first time. Thank you!

  Worst dining experience ever. From the hostess, the waiter, and the ‘assistant general manager’. My husband and I ended up walking out just when our food was coming out. We had a 6p reservation and the restaurant was DEAD. We asked to switch tables to a cozier spot because we were on vacation, date night and why not? There was no one else there. They refused. Would not let us move over one table. The assistant GM said the people who the table was reserved for made the reservation months ago, specifically for that spot and they were celebrating a bday or anniversary. Fine. 40 min later, two young girls sit at that table. I kindly asked them if they specifically asked for that table on the reservation. NOPE. Asked them if they booked months ago. NOPE. Celebrating a big occasion? NOPE. We called the assistant GM back to ask for an explanation. He was so rude and initially told us he had never made those claims. My husband and I both called him out on it. Then he said the original people just canceled. (You know, the ones that booked months ago). So my partner said- why didn’t you move us then since you knew we wanted to sit there? His answer- because we just booked our reservation that evening and the other people had booked the day before. WHAT? Then he said it was up to his discretion where he sits people. I’m sorry but no. He was so arrogant and rude to us. My husband gave me the signal to leave and we got up and walked out just as the food was being brought over. I do not believe that man was the assistant GM. No real manager would treat a customer as horribly as he did. I will not let this go. I hope someone from corporate reaches out to me. At Nobu prices, I’d expect exceptional service. Not to leave feeling like an absolute piece of garbage. Not okay.

  A very polished and enjoyable experience overall, though it doesn’t quite reach the benchmark set by Nobu NYC, particularly on the food side. The service was excellent — attentive, professional, and well timed — though at moments it did feel a bit rushed given the fast, high-energy pace of the room. The music and atmosphere were standout elements, striking a great balance between energy and sophistication, and the space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. Operations run very smoothly and efficiently, which contributes to the vibe, but may not suit those looking for a slower, more relaxed dining experience. All in all, while expectations should be calibrated if comparing directly to New York, Nobu Miami remains a stylish, well-executed option for an upscale night out.

  Did not get the hype. Restaurant was clean and pleasant- chose an ‘outside’ dining experience which was just on a porch with plastic coverings. Service seemed to be the primary objective with many staff circling the tables filling water/beverage glasses While that was appreciated, it seemed over-stated almost to an unnecessary degree We ordered quite a few courses, some of which being very standard, yet took quite a long time to be brought to the table. (Miso soup, edamame) We were told the edamame was steamed 3 times a a specialty dish. While it was quite enjoyable, it tasted no different than what we get at our local grocer. Miso soup was standard; maybe a bit less sodium. The other dishes were just . Not bad by any stretch, just nothing warranting hundreds of dollars We are happy to pay for quality food. This was just a an average experience for us

  I’ve eaten at this restaurant about eight times in other locations and I always order the same dishes. Yesterday I dined at the Miami location, and it was simply not good. We waited over half an hour for the first dish, even though we ordered only cold dishes that take a minute to assemble. Everything arrived late and tasted bad. The caviar was spicy, the sake wasn’t good, and the server didn’t even ask once if everything was okay or if we enjoyed the food. When I explained that the dish was different and not tasty at all, he just replied “ok” with a dismissive nod, as if he was doing me a favor by serving me. I definitely won’t be returning to the Miami location. We spent $650 for a couple, and at that price point, the food should at least be delicious and the service top-tier. If you want a great experience, go to the Vegas or Manhattan locations.
