  Everything was perfect at Nobu Chicago. Exceptional.! I had the Prix Fixe Lunch Menu and the quality of the food was unique. In addition to the affordable price of the menu. Very rare for this type of high end restaurants.

  Great choice for a quiet dinner with colleagues whilst staying at the hotel. Food was excellent as always with Nobu, and service was warm and friendly. The best bite was definitely the tacos - we got the tuna and they were incredible, super fresh with just the right squeeze of lime. We each had cocktails, all of which were great. Love the concept of the worldwide Nobu bartender challenge, my colleague had the winning cocktail and it was really tasty and well balanced. Exactly what you’d expect from Nobu - would be perfect for date night!

  Sophisticated ambiance, umami flavors, with remarkable service is what I experienced here at Nobu Chicago. Exceptional services, from the hostess checking me in to be being seated at my reserved reservation at this top tiered restaurant. Nobu had such a private and intimate atmosphere it screamed elegance with the vaulted ceilings that had lighting chandeliers across entirely and huge white columns that also aligned the classy restaurant. My waitress was awesome. Her named was Kay. Immediately, being seated she waited on me and took my drink order and insisted she could assist with the menu once returned if requested. Kay was great! I did have a few questions about the menu and Kay took charge and knew exactly what entrees were popular and what ingredients certain entrees had. As allergens and non allergens were strongly aware for the chef! For starters, I ordered the Nobu old fashioned whiskey with the shrimp and octopus Nigiri rolls. The Octopus Nigiri Roll was interesting, kinda tough with a tasteless texture. It was palatable not too bad. Not sure what it is exactly supposed to taste like but it was edible!!Hahah! For my entree, I had the Ribeye Truffle Butter, with cauliflower and potatoes! UMM, UMM, GOOODT! Steak was tender deliciously that bursted in flavors! Veggies were perfectly cooked with the perfect crunch! Even the veggies sauce just enhanced the dish that made it even more savory. And for the night cap, I had the Miso sesame banana cake for dessert and WHOOAA BABY! One word, SCRUMPTIOUS! It was presented warm with a dollop of ice cream! The Chefs definitely did their thang! Hahaha! Great food, good company with dope service! Can’t beat it! Check em out!

  Been to many in several states and all consistent. That’s the good news. There really is NO bad news. Nobu is classy, elegant and every dish is unique. I recommend the maki platter, black cod, yellowtail jalapeño, wagyu dumplings and a favorite…toro. Make sure you get the shishito peppers and cucumbers for appetizer as well. I could probably name the rest of the menu, but the above is my favorites.

  Awful experience at Nobu Chicago! To start, there was no valet parking available, which made arrival unnecessarily frustrating. Once seated, the service didn’t improve — our drinks took forever to come out and eventually came out wrong, things felt disorganized from the start. The crowd was sloppy with no apparent dress code, which completely took away from the atmosphere. It felt chaotic rather than polished. The food was just average, and the most frustrating part was that my main entrée didn’t come out at the same time as my son’s, so we couldn’t even eat together. That’s basic service that should never be missed. Overall, the experience felt poorly managed and disappointing from start to finish. I expected a much more polished experience and unfortunately did not get it.
