   It took over 30 minutes to get our first drink! And then he finally brought the menus. He was a very nice waiter, but he did say that he was having computer issues. Although he could’ve handwritten a tab and taken it over to the bar and had the drinks made he did not think to do that until I had to tell him being a restaurant owner myself over the years before retiring. It’s a shame because it’s such a beautiful place and we’ve been there many times but when you have to sit at your table in a three-quarter empty restaurant and not have a drink in front of you for over 30 minutes, that’s sad. And he did nothing to make it up to us but apologize which I guess is OK. It would’ve been nice if he brought us that 30 minute drink on the house.

   Love Nobu - our recent experience at the counter seating (which is our favorite) was unfortunately not great on the service side. It took about 15 mins to get greeted and after our 1st course (hot course) the server never came back. Luckily, when seated at the counter the sushi chef does take your cold order. However, throughout our experience we had to flag down a server and manager on multiple occasions for drink, hot food and our check. We love coming to Nobu and love the experience of the counter - this time really turned us off and most likely will wait a bit to return. There was a VIP customer next to us who got thorough attention, which I’m sure didn’t help. Just disappointing but still absolutely wonderful food and the sushi chefs made the entire thing better.

   This was me and my wife’s first time here. We were celebrating her birthday and our waiter Josheph gave us an amazing experience. All of the food he had suggested for us to try was impeccable. Full of flavor. Thank you for the wonderful experience and making my wife’s birthday special.

   Very average for the exorbitant price. The service wasn't great. The waiter walked away halfway through describing some items on the menu. Most of the food was either very salty or extremely bland. You could get just as good as sushi in any strip mall anywhere.

   The food was great as usual. Unless you’re starving and want to be overwhelmed by food then a chef’s course is just too much food and money spent. We have made this mistake a couple times, but we won’t in the future. For my wife and I four courses is more than enough. The pacing wasn’t great last night (courses came out too quickly) and it was too loud inside. Still it’s a fun place with great food also try the Pina martini if you haven’t!

   Waiter and other staff were very friendly, atmosphere was very clean and beautiful, fairly noisy when it got busy but wasn’t bothersome. Family loved the food and everything was cooked to our liking. One downfall, it took one hour to get my entree so I ate after my party had finished the majority of their food.

   Let’s start by saying Nobu never changes. Always a group of desperate women at the bar looking for a sugar daddy. You pay 12 dollars a taco and they are literally 2 inches wide. Drinks are great! Food is ok. Nothing dazzled me. It’s turning into an overrated restaurant where you have to wait to use the bathroom because there’s a line of women with skimpy clothes on taking selfies.

   As always great food. The service this time was not good though. Once sat, we waited 30 minutes before staff brought us the menus. From then took quite some time to come back for our order. Went through some food and drinks and decided to order more food. Took a long time to get the rest of our food. The waitress came back and asked how we were doing, I said good just waiting for the rest of the food. She seemed flustered and went to the back, she came back and asked what we are waiting on and read back all the food from our initial order (clearly she didn’t put in our second order) I said we finished all that and ordered more food with you and listed the items, she said right, like she remembered, but it was clear she never put in the second order. They came by with the wrong dish and I shared that we didn’t order that. The rest of the food came 10-15 minutes or so after she came back the second time. The food was great as always, the service (though the staff was nice) was subpar.
