   I’ve eaten at Nobu New York and Nobu London, and so I had expectations. I was very disappointed! It began with the outdoor space. When I spend $700 dollars for 4 people, I expect a well set table and not a teak, slatted one. Then, there was the food… I was disappointed in the Miso Black Cod and the Crispy Rice. There are other restaurants that serve similar dishes, and frankly, I could name several that are better. I will admit the service was great, and the steak was delicious. But, overall, I think Nobu had better up their game if they want those prices.

   We were a table of 4 adults seated next to a group that the restaurant allowed to expand to fit 12 people at 2, 4 tops, including several small kids. It was not a pleasant dining experience, we asked to be moved which was not accommodated, and we had to literally yell to hear each other. The noise from the overcrowded tables was ridiculous. The manager did nothing to help the situation, only shrugged his shoulders. We live close by, and have dined at Nobu often. We will not be rushing back.

   The sashimi and sushi were fantastic. The black cod and salad were a bit salty for me. The presentation was very nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

   The worst dining experience of my life. 40 minutes late on our reservation. Table quality and experience equivalent to a Dennys. Over an hour and 30 minutes to get an edamame and yellowtail appetizer. Both of which I have as good in Columbus Ohio. Staff was overwhelmed and clearly lacked experience. We canceled our last part of our order. Pretty sure we were over charged for Sake but just paid to leave. Deserves a negative star but was not an option.

   Everything we had was absolutely incredible. But the winner definitely was the black cod miso. It was big enough to share for 2 people and we ate every single bite. The rock shrimp entree and the spicy tuna crispy rice were also quite delicious.

    🌟 Sunday Funday at NOBU! 🌟 What’s better than a family dinner at one of the best spots? We indulged in almost everything on the menu—starting with the melt-in-your-mouth Bluefin Tuna 🐟, delicate Japanese Red Snapper, and those heavenly Wagyu Beef Dumplings! 🤤🥟 Then moved on to the Sea Bass, Miso Black Cod and Shirmp tempura. Every dish was a masterpiece, and nothing beats sharing it all with family. Can’t wait for our next culinary adventure! 🍽️❤️ #FamilyDinner #NOBU #SundayVibes
