Nobu Downtown

Nobu has come to define the fine dining experience in Japanese cuisine, and its use of innovation in combining flavors continues to raise the bar.Our experience was largely positive, except for slightly sluggish service and some forgettable dishes (vegetable sushi and veggie tempura to name a few).Apart from that, the service was hospitable, and food and drinks were great, and the ambience was exceptional.Overall, i enjoyed my visit to Nobu and look forward to being back again!

I have been meaning to try Nobu out for a while and tonight was that night. Its a beautiful spot for a date night or special occasion. The food was solid, the cocktails were amazing, and the service was quite good.Nobu Sidecar (fantastic cocktail)-Toro Nigiri (amazing. One of my favorite bites of the night)-Unagi Nigiri (very good. Melts in your mouth)-Yellowtail w/ jalapeño & cilantro (although it had some kick to it and the cilantro flavor was pronounced, it is a very good dish)-Crispy Rice w/ Spicy tuna (spicy tuna spread was great. The crispy rice cubes were ok. I personally think this appetizer is skippable)-Shishito Peppers w/ sea salt (solid appetizer. Id love them blistered a bit more but they were still solid)Nobu Tacos (Tuna & Salmon. These were the perfect bites. The salmon ones were my preferred option)Scallops with spicy garlic (super flavorful!!! Just needs some rice or something to sop up the sauce)Black Miso Cod (solid piece of fish. BADLY needs more of the sauce, instead of the 4 dots they give you. Also does not come with a side of rice or veggies. Just the piece of fish.)Soba-cha Brownie (a solid dessert option. Felt rich but light at the same time. Id get it again)Overall. My experience at Nobu was nice. The food was quite good (with some room for minor improvements). The cocktails were the stars of the show. Thank you!

Food tasted great (except the wagyu dumplings but my friend thought they were amazing) but the portions are so small. Feels like snacks almost. Fish is comparable to other sushi spots. Expected fish to be better because of the hype. Still good though, except the wagyu tbh. Toro was great! The tuna tartar as well. Yellow tail was great. Eggplant great. Miso soup great. Just wanted bigger portions but I guess you pay for the atmosphere, which was also comparable to other spots

Went to Nobu for my birthday dinner and ordered the Omasake with wine/sake pairing. All the plates were not only stunning but unbelievably good, I couldnt pick a favorite amongst them. If you are not so much of a drinker I would order just one wine pairing instead of two, for us it was a bit too much alcohol per plate but overall definitely worth it!

Came here and got lucky to sit at the sushi bar. I got two rolls of the vegetable sushi and tofu new style. Tofu new style was so bad. Just no. The vegetable sushi was so good. It was so fresh. I also got the donuts also very good. The lychee martini was delicious as well. Service was good but a bit slow. The interior is beautiful as well. Such a nice time.

Made reservations and was pleased. The service was outstanding, and my food was excellent. My dinner picks were nicely flavored lamb, shrimp, sushi, rice, and brocoli. I Look forward to purchasing wearables and visiting their locations in Paris, Milan, and Dubai soon.

I had high expectations for Nobu, given its prestigious reputation and the fact that many VIPs dine there. We were excited to celebrate a special occasion, and for the most part, the service was excellent. However, things took a turn toward the end of our visit.After our original waiter finished their shift, we were handed off to another waiter named Chris, and unfortunately, that’s when the experience started to decline. We felt rushed, as Chris quickly handed us the bill and then stood right behind me while I was reviewing it. It was uncomfortable, as we were not given the time to discuss the bill or our experience in peace. I had to ask him to give us a few minutes to talk amongst ourselves.While I understand that it was later in the evening, there were still large tables with guests enjoying their meals, and a few couples were having drinks and chatting. Yet, we were made to feel rushed when others were clearly not.Additionally, I was disappointed to see the entire crew standing and watching the guests, which felt a bit off for a high-end restaurant. It gave a cheap impression rather than the luxury experience I expected.This experience left a negative impression on what should have been a memorable evening, and I hope the management takes this feedback into account.

The service is terrible. A high-end restaurant should provide much better service. On two separate occasions, a group of three people was served at different times. Additionally, the rice never arrived.

Truly lives up to their reputation, a quality dining experience! I was impressed with every dish, every bite was my favorite bite. Impeccable service. Low lighting ambiance really sets the mood if you’re planning to come for date night.

Went here for a dinner with some coworkers. The place is all about the experience. It big, chic, and modern. The place to see and be seen for sure. The rest is less than impressive- the portions are small for the price. The food was good but nothing to salivate over with the exception of dessert which I will say was a must. Get the donuts and bento box.

I have eaten at this location three separate times over the last year. The reason I’m giving it such low stars is because the food quality is extremely inconsistent. The first time I ate there it was dismal; and I was shocked at how much the food cost versus its quality. I’ve eaten at other nice restaurants and this did not come close on the first visit. The server and service was amazing though. They second time, the food was also not good I have tried the Omakaze and I’ve also ordered off the menu. The third time was definitely a charm, and the food was pretty darn good, however I think for the price the food needs to be more consistently good (or amazing); some of the flavors don’t work so well together either. The really cool thing about this restaurant is you have the chance to glimpse Taylor Swift, George Clooney or Rihanna, lots of A listers here but other than that, I don’t think that it’s worth the money.

Quality dining experience! Another great meal at Nobu! I love the “family style” or encouraged sharing nature of their menu. This way diners have the opportunity to share and try multiple things on the menu (because everything is amazing) The staff are all so energetic and emphasize on the happiness of the customer. The lowlight atmosphere gives it an elegant vibe adding to the overall experience. The crispy rice with spicy tuna and lobster tacos are my absolute favorite dishes!

We had an early dinner reservation and ordered quite a few dishes to share for two. Its a Saturday night, and you could clearly tell that they served our food in a rushing manner and were eager to replace our plates to make rooms for the next dish. While the meal was more expensive than my usual outings, I found the pace is a bit rushed and didnt fully enjoy the experience.The ambiance is somewhat dimmed, with a mix of patrons dressed for special occasions, while others are more casually dressed. It looked like a good place for family as well.The food is top-notch. Its on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for. Each dish is interesting and unique in its own way, though if I were to return, Id definitely reorder the Black Cod Miso and Toro Tartare with Caviar.

It’s been a while since the pandemic. Still perfect! Didn’t disappoint. Thoroughly enjoyed the bar seating area - stylish, cozy, intimate. The dishes were delicious and creative. The host and staff were courteous and friendly.

Had a wonderful dinner at Nobu over the weekend. The dishes were plated to perfection and the cocktails were also delicious. Highly recommed the oysters, yellowtail jalapeno & the toro tartare for appetizers. For entrees, the black cod miso & the shrimp and lobster dishes were filled with flavor and cooked to perfection. Our server Henry made our dining experience amazing and made sure to read over our reservation notes. We will definitely be back to Nobu very soon.

Had a late reservation on NYE. I have not been to this Nobu location before and I wasn’t a huge fan of the dining room layout compared to other NY location. We had a group of 4 and ordered Omakase. There were some very enjoyable bites but I was surprised how many I did not like. Several dishes were overly sweet. Sushi, sashimi, urchin were the highlights. Chilean sea bass and the dish with several things together included wagyu and egg (I do not know the dish name) were the low lights. Fish was cooked perfectly but 3 out of 4 of us did not like the flavor. The bowl dish was very sweet and heavy. Very expensive meal for 4 out of 5 food. Service was just okay but I’ll give them a pass considering NYE.

Fantastic food and wonderful service in a gorgeous setting 😍 I always enjoy visiting the different Nobu locations and though sitting in the dining room looking for celebrities is fun, I love sitting at the bar. And Nobu Downtown has a beautiful bar and lounge area! Its a perfect place to sip and snack while catching up with friends 💚

The WORST dining experience of my life.I made a reservation weeks ago for my best friend to celebrate her birthday - little did we know her birthday would get ruined by the Nobu staff. The only time available was 9pm for a reservation - hint : DO NOT make a reservation at 9 unless you want to be rushed out of there, given dirty looks by the employees, having to listen to the staff yell at each other and curse at each other, and lastly have a male employee follow you into the womens bathroom. Tip for Nobu: do not offer 9pm reservations if you cannot handle it.First, the table was only my best friend and I and we chose multiple items from each course plus drinks and dessert.Mid dinner the waiter told us the kitchen was closing, we respected that.While continuing to get food, one of the employees pulled another table over because we ran out of room for plates. He then proceeds to ask do you have more food coming? we said yes and you can tell by the look on his face he was not happy.Next, while trying to eat our food fast (with no choice), one of the employees SCREAMS across the whole dining room to reprimand another employee, and then followed by using the f word while walking past our table. My best friend and I were shocked by the unprofessionalism!Next, the waiter comes again to tell us we need to order dessert while still having 6 plates at the table, and while chewing on our dinners. So we ordered dessert to respect the waiter.Throughout the whole dinner we respected every staff member, followed all of their rules and did not cause any problems in the establishment.Dessert came from an unenthusiastic waiter that just wanted to go home, and my espresso was an embarrassment to all Italians. Truly the worst espresso of my life. Do not sell espressos for 6$ if you do not know how to make one.We had one bite of our dessert and had all of the employees staring at us so we decided to pack up our dessert to take home because we felt uncomfortable.A different employee came to ask if we can pay our check (our waiter never came back, and never said thank you, - why would he care? He knew he was getting paid and his tip taken care of anyways right? Totally wrong mindset) but anyways we paid our 600$ check (between 2 of us) and gathered our belongings. While putting our jackets on the employees were standing not even a foot behind us waiting for us to leave...totally unnecessary because of the concept of being on top of us and also there were 2 water glasses to clean from the table - calm down. The behavior from the employees shows lack of empathy and I would not be proud to work in a place like this.On our way out we went to the ladies room, being in there for a total of 1 minute we hear VERY LOUD banging on the door. A man comes in to tell us they are closing. This was the most disrespectful, unnecessary, and unacceptable gesture. Question for the ladies: would you feel comfortable if a man was banging SO LOUD on the bathroom door then proceeded to step foot into the bathroom and tells you he will LOCK THE DOOR?Truly the biggest waste of 600$, they showed NO HOSPITALITY!!

Nobu lives up to its reputation. This place is perfect in every way. The services, atmosphere music with the low light setting and phenomenal food with dessert. If you never had Nobu before, it is a must try at least once to know what a fine dining is. We had the prime steak, sushi and sashimi and to no surprise, it was delicious. They have a wagyu beef dumpling that is out of this world but it’s not on the menu and is exclusive to New York Nobu, so if you stop by, please make sure to order it, you won’t walk away disappointed.

I had the pleasure of dining at Nobu New York in October with my boyfriend, and we were both thrilled for the opportunity to experience an elevated take on Japanese cuisine. Without question, this was the best Japanese food I have ever tasted.The service was impeccable, and the cold sake was absolutely delightful. Standout dishes included the king crab tempura, the wagyu dumplings (so exquisite they nearly brought a tear to my eye), the hand-rolled baked snow crab, and an assortment of sashimi. Each dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor.We were seated in a cozy, romantic two-person booth that offered a lovely view of the entire restaurant, adding to the ambiance. Our server was attentive and ensured the evening was unforgettable. We can only hope Nobu decides to open a location in Seattle someday so we can relive this extraordinary dining experience closer to home!

Fantastic food especially the hot dishes, althrough the maki rolls are somehow unerwhelming. For the service, my final bill was added with a bottle of wine and a liquor which I did not ordered total $120+ addtional. The waiter said it was an accident and he did not know why but I doubt it.

Nobu is always incredible. Top notch food and service.

We had an amazing meal at Nobu. The upstairs bar felt a bit unusual on initial entry, but once we got to the main dining room downstairs, we understood the full breadth of what this place was... impressive. Weve had great Japanese food prior, but the unique fusion and presentation of the dishes prepared here was definitely something special. The black miso cod was definitely the standout, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. But all of the other dishes were also amazing: Toro Tartare with Caviar, Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna, A5 Wagyu beef - tataki, King Crab Tempura, and the Caviar Tacos were all perfectly cooked and delicious. What also surprised us a bit were the desserts; gor people who are often western/Europe oriented with our dessert preferences, the options here were amazing and equally delicious.The service was also great, very attentive and pleasant all around. We had a bottle of wine for the evening which was kept chilled nearby and glasses filled regularly.The atmosphere of the place as I mentioned above was impressive. Dark and trendy but not overly dark. Was definitely a great people watching place as well, as a wide variety of party types were present. We will definitely be returning.

Wow , this place was spectacular. The venue was so pretty. I sat at the bar and had a pleasant time with Dia. Very well spoken and knowledgeable bartender. She made a couple of suggestions that were so tasty. Definitely will be back to visit this establishment. The food was so delicious. I had to order takeout as well. Unfortunately I didn’t get a photo of the truffle steak that I ordered, but it was so tender so juicy with a side of rice.

We loved Nobu! Its definitely Michelin Star quality. Some of the best sushi Ive ever had, and the miso cod was phenomenal.

Only reason Im giving it 4 stars is the prices... theyre kind of stupid high. $10 for tea? $15 for a beer? $8 per piece of sushi... just crazy.But the quality of the food is on point, and service is top notch. Do recommend for a special occasion or if you have money to burn.

Best fine dining i’ve had! Spectacular food and amazing ambience atmosphere. Nobu offers entrees and appetizers besides just sushi and sashimi. I had the crispy rice with tuna, crab tacos, jalapeños scallops, japanese red snapper sashimi, waygu steak, salmon hand rolls. The freshness of the sashimi was really good and the SCALLOPS were to die for! The drinks here are great too. Amazing food I was full and it was delicious. Will definitely be coming back here!!

If you dont know about Nobu, you should know that it is EXPENSIVE!! Look at the menu before you go.It is definitely fine dining and very much attentive. They quickly removed and replaced any dirty plates in sight. I love attention to detail.The downtown location is located inside of an old bank so there are high ceilings and columns that are eye catching. There is additional seating in the basement. Even with 2 floors of seating this place was full and getting reservations the day of isnt always promised so definitely make reservations.I cant deny that the food was good, but the prices were simply astronomical.I enjoyed my meal and my time here so Id definitely recommend for a special occasion or even better, a business meal that a company is paying for. See the pics that came up to $500 usd...

Lazy staff won’t take a to go order after 9pm, the apps they want you to order from are missing a lot of menu items such as wagyu dumplings, or the ability to order wagyu dumplings. For the price point they should provide better service.

After a visit at the WTC Memorial some may decide to end up here. Not much to say other than the Omakaze that we had was an excellent journey. Quick and efficient staff. Expensive? Oh, yes…. but we di not do this every day, right?

NOBUs tasting menu is an incredible culinary experience that should not be missed. The combination of traditional Japanese dishes and contemporary twists, along with the impeccable presentation and attention to detail, make for a truly unforgettable dining experience. Whether youre a seasoned sushi lover or a newcomer to Japanese cuisine, NOBUs tasting menu is sure to delight and satisfy.

Fantastic food ... unpretentious and friendly staff. We ate in the lounge with our very rambunctious 3.5 year old. It was between meal services on the weekend, and a few other families with small children were also dining.The staff were walking by and giving my son high-fives. It was so comfortable.Food lived up to to the hype. I’ve wanted to visit here for years, but never got around to it. I regret not discovering this Asian fusion experience sooner. Everything we tried was off the charts good. We plan to return to the lounge and get a dozen tacos and drinks.Toddler Tip: bring you own no-spill cup to transfer their drink to.

The most exquisite dinning experience we’ve had in NYC! Everything we tried was worth it. Food is delicious, fresh and of the highest quality. The cocktails were amazing - especially the special feature. The service was equally incredible, friendly service, excellent recommendations and very timely delivery of the plates in order, clearing of dishes. Overall a 10/10 experience and highly recommended.Shishito Peppers (11)Yellowtail tuna with Jalapeño(33)Lobster Shiitake Salad with Spicy Lemon Dressing (64)Rock Shrimp Tempura With Creamy Spicy Sauce (33)Cod(46)lobster taco (12)wagyu taco (20)Nobu sidecar (24)Lyer Lier feature cocktail (15)Donuts (18)

It’s incredible how Nobu continues to reinvent itself to remain as one of New York’s must dine locations. The scene remains vibrant with celebrities and models fluttering around and the food is always elevated and inventive. The staff are so down to earth and easy to work with as well. The entire dining experience is excellent and you feel like you’ve been granted access to the coolest club in the city. An awesome choice for anyone looking to really have fun, be seen as well as see all the beautiful people that New York has to offer.

Food was delicious.. although wish it had the beach views similar to Nobu Malibu :)Went on a birthday and had a great time, dessert was also phenomenal.Their black cod with miso is a stapleThe rock shrimp amazing

Let’s be up front about it, this place will cost 200$ easy.Now that this is out of the way: OH MY this is tasty, beautiful food. Everything is cooked to perfection, the presentation is pretty each time.It was incredible to be enjoying an evening with some beats with a beautiful clientele of a full, fancy, trendy (I would imagine) restaurant.Service was OK but not exceptional considering the price. It’s not enough to take off a star though. I can’t wait to go back.

Another Nobu, another great meal and experience! We recently dined at Nobu in Atlanta and thought that couldn’t be topped. We were mistaken. Atlanta was great and NY Downtown was also great. Drinks were well made. Service and food were both fantastic. This one has a different vibe than the Nobu Midtown. Not necessarily better, just different. Perhaps a little more elegant. Highly recommend!

Nobu is the best chain restaurant in the world! It’s expensive but worth it , they source top quality fish and their menu is extensive. The devil killer sake is one of the most reasonable on the sake list and very good. The 57th street location is great as well if you’re in midtown. There seems to be 100 people working here so service has always been great.

Some of the best fish I’ve had around the city. The dishes are interesting and tasty. The restaurant itself is nice, especially the bar/lounge upstairs. The servers were good. The drawbacks are the price and sometimes small portion sizes.

We visited Nobu second time in a week because of great service and food on our first visit. Service great, food really good, but baby corns were definitely the highlight of both of our visit.

The location is beautiful, but hard to find. Once you go inside it is friendly and eloquent. The food is great especially the A5 Wagyu. It is expensive but worth it. Very tender and almost melts in your mouth. The ribeye is also decent but not the best. a little chewy for my liking. The food isnt very filling so youll have to order multiple items per person or end up leaving hungry.

If you’re looking for more of a calm and relaxed environment I’d suggest dining upstairs in the lounge area. If you’re looking for a social, high energy experience, downstairs dining is for you! The experience as a whole was wonderful ! Some of the food portions can be small though most are substantial in size. The food is cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and memorable in my opinion! I’d return here !

The food was absolutely exceptional! The food was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. Our waitress, Lisa, was awesome as well. She was very knowledgeable, helpful, and quick with bringing us our food and drinks.

Can‘t relate the hype for this restaurant.The food quality is good but that‘s it. The flavors are nothing special. The drinks were ok too. If it‘s about fusion kitchen, there are better ones in NYC. The service was ok, the atmosphere was hectic, music too loud and surroundings too. My husband waited over 40 minutes for his one and only dish. This is just a place to be seen for Instagram. Don‘t recommend this place at all if you want to have a highlight in NY.

Delicious food! Great service by Hendri.

Came here on a cousin date June 3rd and received outstanding service by Joesph. Food was sooo soo good. He answered my all my questions so well. At first I was opposed to trying any raw dishes but, the way he described it .. I had to take my chances! I absolutely loved the yellow tail Jalapeño and this other salmon dish (I forgot the name :(.) Huge thanks to our server Joesph ! I now love sashimi !!

Super terrible. the moment i sat down, there’s a fly in my drink and then suddenly a beetle on my wrist.food was way below average for the price. ingredients were unfresh and the sauces are overwhelming. you can’t taste the ingredients at all. this the worse uni i have ever eaten

Sometimes great food but consistently terrible service. The black miso cod and the salmon avocado rolls were excellent. No other food (tried the Toro roll and the warm salmon sashimi) was even slightly memorable. Had to ask multiple times to get a beer- a BEER took 15 minutes and multiple reminders to be brought to the table. Are you kidding me? Nice decor and sometimes good food but overall a very mediocre experience for an incredibly high price tag.

Excellent. All around. Our server was extremely knowledgeable & super attentive. 10/10

Awesome experience. The food was delicious, especially the Cod and Brussels Sprouts. The service was professional, friendly and timely. The decor and restaurant layout is beautiful.

Fantastic evening at Nobu. The Wagyu tataki was a highlight.

This is a great Nobu location. Been to a few others, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere at this location. Excellent food as always. Had the baby corn with honey truffle as an appetizer. OMG was amazing. Try it! Must visit location when in NYC.

This Nobu location is one favorites in the world. Nobu never disappoints! If you love good sushi and family style dining this is your place. Their spinach salad is my favorite.

When it comes to sushi, Nobu is what I pick. Excellent menu and fresh seafood. Expensive but worth every penny. For those who do not know, the door near the restroom used to be an actual vault door at the previously owned bank building. Try it during restaurant week if price point is an issue.

Outstanding foodFabulous serviceDelicious foodRelaxing AmbienceCelebrated my daughters birthday 🎂

The food was amazing! Absolutely loved the black cod dish. It was cooked perfectly the fish. The taste was delicate and really brought out the sweetness of the fish. Wouldn’t go out of my way to go here but food was good

An oldie, but a goodie! Nobu around the world has never disappointed me. The fish tasted like it just got caught that day (fresh, hint of brininess from the sea that allows the sweetness of the fish to shine theiugh). The miso black cod is always a must to order (one flaw today was the skin was not served crispy today). The nigiri selection was amazing. In Vancouver, its very hard to find bluefin toro on the menu. The ribeye taco was tasty unlike its other selection of bigeye tuna that just lacked seasoning. The desserts were on point and lucky enough to order all 5 on the menu. The chocolate fondant cake served with a rich and decadent matcha ice cream was the best of the 5. Cant wait to come again where ever Nobu/I may be.

Have been to a different Nobu location before but this one had the most beautiful space I’ve ever seen for a restaurant, especially the upstairs portion. Whole place is gorgeous though.Service was 10/10 as usual with Nobu and most dishes were amazing, but the cost / value is why I’d say 4 stars on the food.Overall a really incredible experience and would definitely return. I’d especially recommend for any business related purposes.

Classy, Sexy, Dinner Date Night spot. Chef is outstanding!!I did not take pics of all the food however it was all amazing!!!We ordered the Soft Shell Crab Watermelon citrus salad and Broiled Sea Scallops with brussel sprouts. The Lobster Tempura was amazing. Order 2 of them! Dessert was amazing! 5 Stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a late and long lunch there. We ordered miso soup, edamame, and several tacos for appetizers. All were very good. The Bento Power box was well worth the $70. The other cut sushi rolls were good and tasty. The teriyaki chicken was beautiful. The Japanese beer selection was interesting and fun. We had a beautiful dessert with nice chocolate. The service was extremely attentive and efficient without being overbearing. The place itself is beautiful downstairs. We enjoyed it immensely.

Very pleased with all of the food we ordered, everything was very tasty. The ambience was cozy and intimate with good background music playing. Must try it!

Superb food. The yellow tale is divined and the miso cod is the best cod I’ve had. Service is amazing. Definitely a good place for some special celebration

I had a wonderful experience at Nobu Downtown. The food was phenomenal, the atmosphere great, and the service was some of the best I’ve had in a while. My wife and I were unsure what to order with so many great options on the menu, but our server guided us through it and was extremely helpful. We ended up having the yellowtail jalapeño, the crispy rise with tuna, toro and scallion sushi roll, shrimp and lobster with spicy lemon sauce, and black cod with miso. We also had the buttermilk doughnuts for dessert. Not a single one of the courses we had disappointed. We will definitely be back soon! Would highly recommend.

This was such a wonderful experience. Go big and go daring and get the Omakase and let the Chef decide for you, it will not disappoint.

If you are looking for fancy and delicious, than look no further. Nobu will leave you baffled with its atmosphere, food, and customer service all a 10/10. Starting with yellowtail, whitefish, and salmon so much complexity in a dish that looks simple just one bite and you are in bliss. The black cod which was the main event will leave you speechless one bite and its like youve been punched in the face with flavor. The service was on point it doesnt get better than this.

The sushi is absolutely amazing. Yes its pricey but you get more than what you pay for. We will be back. The caviar and tuna appetizer is amazing

We had a wonderful experience at Nobu downtown! The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. My favorites were the black cod miso and crispy rice with tuna. The sushi was fresh and delicious. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience here and highly recommend it!

Attended a private event here. Service was great and the food was exceptional. Cool space too. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing dining experience.By far the best tenderloin ive ever eaten. Crispy rice highly recommend.

Really solid! I passed by the $35 prix fixe 3-cour lunch sign outside, and was curious enough to try it. Really delicious - would come back! Service was very quick too.

Luxury restaurant, budget presentation. Paid $67 for a jumbled mess of rolls and sashimi in a single box

It was a fancy Valentine’s Day date!What we didn’t enjoy was egg with trufflesEverything else was delicious

Nobu is known for being very high end with prices to match. My drink was really good , the bartender was badass. The food was salty. The sushi was ok. I have tasted way better and low sodium soy sauce was standard. I had to ask for it, yet what I received was still not low sodium.

Nice relocation and marble space. Nobu will be even busier being in FiDi. High ceiling bar and lounge on the ground floor and restaurant with counter is down below. You cannot fault the food and service hence the popularity of this group!

This place was pretty amazing, from the food to the atmosphere. The upstairs is fantastic! The only dock in a star is from the price of the beef skewers, which were tiny and honestly not worth the hype. Overall though, this was a great experience and the staff was amazing and so kind!

Dinner at NOBU NY downtown —fantablous food we had the Edamame toStart with Yellowtail Jalapeño ,Baby spinach salad with Dry miso and the yellow tail Sashimi and crispy rice with spicy tuna for the mail course we had the lobster in wasabi peper with rice grilled chicken and to top u we finished with the amazing Bento box which is valrhona darkChocolate fondant with Imperial Matcha Gelato. Drinks tried a few all suberb and service and suggestions immaculate.

Its Nobu, of course its incredible. Went for restaurant week which they do a great job with. Got the ceviche, black miso cod, and yogurt dessert. Incredible. And more filling than you would think. New downtown location has a cool vibe.

I have been to NOBU before (the one in the Tribeca area) and loved it. I found that the lunch 3- courses of $35 special was a great value for your money. Also had two of the drink specials, the Lychee Martini and the margarita (with passion fruit juice and a little kick) and they were fantastic. The service by Alex at the bar was very good too.

Black miso cod was amazing and buttery, crispy rice was tasty but a little too sticky. Service was wonderful, definitely would go back again for the next special occasion.

A very good place for Japanese food. Their food might be a little bit pricey, but their fish is so fresh and delicious! Nobu is very famous as Japanese food. Heard it’s Kardashians’ favorite haha!

I’ve been to Nobu in Miami, Istanbul and NYC. Reliable like an old Swiss watch, and have never had a bad meal.

I was excited to dine at Nobu Downtown during restaurant week. The food was delicious. The service was efficient without any courtesy or interest in providing warm customer service. Since we had restaurant week reservations, we were seated in the bar/lounge and not the main dining room. Although there were empty tables around us, several servers hovered and tried to rush us out. Each server made it a point to check if we had left our credit card in the check folder. A nice meal spoiled by the over zealous service to rush us out.

I’ve never had sushi like this. It’s absolutely amazing. Every bite is a delight and the service was unreal. Will come back again and again and again.

Amazing! Took myself here for birthday dinner. Such a great experience!

Service was attentive, food was very Americanized and for the price was a bit disappointing (all in for lunch was close to $90/person, and did not order any alcohol) due to the price. I expected better sushi rice...if I could I would give it 3.5 stars but cant figure how to do that and gave it 4 stars thanks to the service quality. The black cod with miso was really good though!!!

I have phone. Robert de niro. And he was going to see me. And he was very busy that day. But said next time. I have talked him 1983 .he is nice person. He was young man that time

Pretty cool obviously pricey. Sashimi was great, brownie was pretty good. The pina martini was way better than the Mia margarita. Customer service was fast and nice.

Great taste, wonderful serving and atmosphere! The black code with miso is a must try!

Mr. Nobu should look deep inside and go back to basics. Coming from Peru, we had high expectations. We prefer the Matsuei, where Nobu started his journey in America. There is lots of room for improvement. The service was kind of in a hurry, but the place looks really nice.

Fantastic creative Japanese seafood dishes, love all the things with yuzu soy sauce.

Some of the best food Ive had while living in New York. Beautiful restaurant building and delicious high quality and freshly prepared food!

Very expensive but food, service and environment are exceptional.

Great service, the food is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS, great atmosphere, you cant go wrong with any Nobu restaurant, be prepared to spend some cash $$$$

Food was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere is beautiful. The staff is helpful and friendly. Drinks upstairs and work your way down for dinner. Great vibe!

I recently had the privilege of attending a private event at NUBU, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this establishment is in a league of its own, blending impeccable service with a sophisticated ambiance and culinary excellence. The private event space was elegantly designed, offering an intimate yet spacious setting that was perfect for our gathering. The attention to detail in the décor was evident, with tasteful floral arrangements, soft lighting, and beautifully set tables that created a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Nobu Downtown is one of the best choise in NY, modern place and very well organized. Amazing food and very good service. You need to book in advance so you don’t have to wait.

Just amazing as advertisedFood was legendary and service great

Very delicious food. Can’t get enough even thought it may seem like it’s a small portion , it is but it’s just enough for to have you begging for more.

Given the hype and massive prices at this place this fell below expectations. Overall, it’s worth a try. Although, lower your expectations for your hard earned $$$$ that you’ll pay.We sat in the bar area and the service was somewhat slow which was understandable since they were understaffed. Servers were great and friendly even though they were busy.(Aside: what’s with the scantily clad servers? I noticed almost all the female servers were dressed to go clubbing. Is it in the uniform requirement to wear skimpy skirts and low cut tops? Perhaps, they cater mostly to business men. That gave the dining experience a yuck factor.)In terms of food, the rock shrimp, as is often mentioned in other reviews, was delicious. It reminded me of honey walnut prawns that you can get from most Chinese restaurants but a bit more tangy and spicy and not sweet.Then, we got the house special roll which was also good. Honestly, I’ve had better at far less expensive places.The rice and avocado was meh. It was more of an experience to eat but the crispy rice square and avocado was missing an umami-goodness.

Absolutely amazing food we had a lovely evening will definitely go back next time we are in NY

Let’s be up front about it, this place will cost half agrand for a party of 7 easy.OMG this is tasty, beautiful food. Everything is cooked to perfection, the presentation is pretty each time. The service is exceptional. One thing I did not know before going is its Tapas style so basically we ordered more and pretty much had to pick up something on the street. 🤣Picture is a dish for about $30

Food was good but didn’t live up to the hype. Can get a very similar product for much less.

I enjoyed my time. The spicy edamame, rock shrimp tempura, and lychee martini was great!

Nice decor. Friendly service. But the dishes were a little salty, especially compared to Tokyo NOBU.

One of my favorite places to eat in NYC the food the vibe the service always on point

Great food great ambience, and things came on time. One of the better ways to spend money for a nice dinner. It’s not too often these days that you meet good food with great service.Entrance to Nobu a little tricky though, had to circle the block a few times.

Incredible service. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. Our waitress did a great job of walking us through the menu, made great recommendations, and explained each dish thoroughly and well.

Best Japanese restaurant we have ever been to, great service, friendly staff and amazing food! Highly recommended for seafood lovers!

We had an extraordinarily exciting evening today. Despite being very late for our reservation, the team made every effort to accommodate us perfectly. Our host June was incredibly patient, engaging, and helpful. She handled our allergies with such warmth and care that it became a pleasant conversation and helpful consultation, making the entire experience enjoyable. We even spoke with the manager to express our gratitude, and he also took the time to engage with us warmly. Many thanks again to the whole team – you are wonderful and a true role model!

Beautiful place with fast service. No problems at all. We had a great time

Nobu is the best! What could you say more?? Go visit, go visit, go visit!! 😄

Amazing everything! The service the food, the ambience just a great night of everything!!

Go here for the miso cod!Upstairs bar and lounge area and downstairs dining room. Restaurant Week will get you the miso cod plus an appetizer at lunch for $28 plus tax.

Celebrated a friends birthday with the omakase. Everything was excellent and the kitchen adjusted the courses based on individual restrictions. The cocktails are also highly recommended

This place came highly recommended to me by friends that know I love sushi! Again, this was my first time in NYC so of course I had to try it.I was reminded by it in the afternoon and realized that I hadn’t made reservations yet. I got online looking for a number to dial to call in reservations for the next day after our broadway show, lo and behold, they allow you to make reservations right from the google screen! So I tried to make reservations for that evening. I was able to do so and quickly set up a via to get me there within the hour (it was 8:00 and reservations were for 9:00). Via got me there within 40 minutes and I checked in with the very friendly hostesses. They offered to take our Jackets but we were okay with keeping them on...our table wasn’t ready as expected since we were 20 minutes early so we were seated at the bar. There the friendly bartenders whipped up a few drinks for us and got us to try some new sake, delicious by the way. I wish I remembered the bartenders names but I don’t. Extremely friendly and very informative. We then got seated at about 9:00 and were taken to the table, the table, although a little snug and close to the next table, (the back bench area with pillows) was still comfortable and private enough for my wife and I to have our own conversation. As the food rolled out we fell in love with every dish that came out. I couldn’t say anything bad about this place! The atmosphere was awesome, the live dj, the bartenders, the waitresses, everyone was on top of their game and we loved it. My recommendations is the sashimi yellow tail and must try the “diablo” sake (I’m guessing at this point as to the name of the sake).All in all, it was a great night and I would definitely go back! 🙌

Always it is fascinating to come and fine there

Quality and food never fails. A go to for a reason. Their crispy rice is unmatched
