    Not quite as good as in the past, so somewhat disappointing for the exorbitant price, but very few sushi options in and around DC

    Server was a little slow, we did not had dinner menus when we got sat, server took a time to grab our drinks menu, he seemed busy with a lot of tables, maybe if sections are small he would focus more in customer service. It was my brother’s first time & I wanted to have a great time….

    The Cod fish and sea bass fish are the best fish that I have ever eaten! 10/10! The fish is fresh and perfectly seasoning. The service is amazing! The ambience is great! The taco is very small, I wish it was bigger. Seafood ceviche is very refreshing. Overall I had a great experience at Nobu!

    Wonderful! Food is amazing. The two top tables were so close together it was a little awkward. Next time we’ll just ask for a booth.

    The food lacked the level of quality I expect from Nobu. Fluke Miso is delicious, but the yuzu sauce was watery at best. King Crab was overcooked and rubbery. Drinks were more mixers and not enjoyable.
