This was our 2nd visit, many more to come. Jeremy and I (Joshua) had a small little dinner date. We love Nobu and everything about. The food quality is impeccable, the prices aren't bad for the quality of food and level of service we received. Not just our server but all other team members that came close to our table would check to make sure we had what we needed. We will come again and again. Its our official date night place. The entire staff was very attentive, pleasant and personable. They did a great job on the set menu I requested.

Wanted to visit Nobu for many years. Decided it was time. The restaurant is at the mall so dressing code is a little more casual. There were people wearing snickers. Ambience is relaxed and staff were great, very attentive. Servers/hosts know the menu really well. I had a blast. Loved every food we ate (we over ate😱) bill was a little more than $800 for two people. We ordered 2 dishes of every part of the menu, including desserts. It is something that we wanted to do, trying a little bit of everything. Dishes are what they call “family” size, so the idea is that you share with the other people, but they are not big. So don’t think that you will eat a lot because of the term “family”. I will do it again if I have the chance. Highly recommended. I do t think is overrated. It is exactly what Nobu wanted to create, a sensory experience! ❤️

Beautiful place and great customer service.
I had a lovely time and everything was wonderful, until the food came out. I understand sushi can vary based on personal taste, but the food was extremely disappointing. I never expected to leave a fine dining restaurant feeling sick, and unfortunately I ended up throwing up and having severe diarrhea afterward. Overall, it was an upsetting experience, especially after spending so much money.
