Went for my best friend's birthday dinner.
The food was ok, nothing to write home about. The truffle Parmesan risotto was the only thing that was exceptional.
The edamame was not spicy, had a nice charred flavor but not spicy... the rock shrimp tasted
Like bang bang shrimp. Not worth the price.
Service was good, our cups were always full, empty plates were immediately cleared.
I'm not a fan of small bites so this wasn't my favorite sushi experience.
It's a cute environment and dimly lit.

Food at Nobu Galleria was excellent and consistent as always. The jalapeño yellowtail was fresh and perfectly balanced, and the tenderloin was cooked beautifully — light seasoning, great asparagus and mushrooms. Honestly, I could have ordered a second plate. Seriously. Sooooo good. And, with my Nobu engraved ice block in the old fashioned... 😍
Sat in the lounge area and had a friendly, enthusiastic server who clearly wanted to provide a good experience. Service just wasn’t fully polished — we had a few small hiccups with napkins and flatware (more than once like no napkin, wait no chopsticks, later forkless...), but everything was corrected quickly when asked.
Overall, the food was stellar and drinks were solid. Not quite a flawless five-star evening given service, and it didn't leave me with that exclusive Nobu vibe, but still a very strong night. Definitely would go again. The tenderloin... 😍
Given overall, it's a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience with great food.

We enjoyed dishes from several sections on the menu.
Favorites were:
Yellowtail Jalapeño
Whitefish Sashimi Dry Miso
Nobu Mini Taco Lobster Wasabi Aioli
The Black Cod Miso was okay 😔 not as fresh as I would’ve liked it to be.
And my major complaint was that no one I mean no one brought us soy sauce bowls. The staff were nice, but extremely busy. I thought to ask but wanted to see if they would bring a staple on a table serving sushi, they brought the soy sauce yet no bowls. Boohoo 🥲.
All and all okay experience.

Fancy fancy fancy !! The food was good , waiter was knowledgeable however it’s a bit in the expensive side if you don’t mind that kind of stuff. We had a great time honestly and I’m definitely going to try the one back home in Miami too.

Nobu continues to set the gold standard for a reason. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is sophisticated and the service is impeccably sharp. It’s the kind of place where you feel taken care of from start to finish.
While the sushi and signature dishes were, as expected, world-class, I have to give a special shout-out to the bar program. I ordered a dirty martini, and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly chilled, expertly balanced, and exactly the right amount of savory.
It’s the perfect spot for a high-end night out where the drinks are just as top-tier as the food
