love it! my fav, more than Berkeley

Good food, attentive service, great atmosphere!

I was taken to Nobu for my Birthday this week as a surprise! Well the location was impressive from the outside but I have to say that was it. We entered the restaurant and was greeted with a Japanese saying which was nice. However, whenever anyone enters the restaurant all the staff shout this Japanese welcome which really starts to get on your nerves after a while. After being bugged by the waitress to order drinks within 2 seconds of sitting down I knew I wasn't going to enjoy Nobu. The menu was too detailed (around 5 pages) and for anyone who has not tried Japanese food before there is no explanation as to what the dish is. For starters we ordered some Tempura which was very bland indeed (deep fried). We ordered our mains which to quote the waitress, 'was Nobu's world famous Black Cod'. When this dish arrived, which cost £35, it was tasteless and soggy. Not to mention it was served on a leaf with nothing else i. E rice etc. We also ordered the creamy spicy shrimp as a main which was tasteless, the 'creamy sauce' looked like melted cheese and there was no spice. We decided not to bother with desserts and left £100 lighter which by the way was only for 2 soft drinks, 2 Tempura starters and 2 main dishes. It was a deeply disappointing evening, not to mention a total waste of money. We left feeling hungry and had to grab a pizza on the way home. I would never eat at Nobu again. By the way they also slap on a 15% service charge which is meant to be optional as they know you are less than likely to ask them to remove the charge. The type of people Nobu attracts are very snobbish! If you're looking for a good meal at a decent price try Kenza near Liverpool Street, very nice! Avoid Nobu!

Disappointing!

I had the pleasure to dine at Nobu in both Las Vegas, New York and Milan. All 3 great experiences, which makes me wonder if this is really a part of the same chain?

Ultra snobbish personal. Unprofesional waitress who did not know details of the menu well. Serving dishes in reverse order, without even apologizing. Do I need to say more?

This is heavily overpriced for what it is. In fact you can find good Japanese restaurants at a 3rd of the cost, serving high quality authentic food. And even does it with a smile!

The settings are really nice though. Ambient and super nice interior and atmosphere. Unfortunately this means nothing when the team do not get the basics right!

I had a booking at Nobu, and arrived 7 minutes late and they let my table go - a disgrace! Staff need a kick up the arse - and when questioned the reply was "we are nobu" - basically they are god! Aqua is a brilliant place next to Sister Act

Nice setting, good ambience, good location for going out after eating, food is ok, but quite over priced for what it really is.

If you are Asian, or you know real Asian food / Japanese food. Don't waste your time at Nobu.

Their waiters / waitress cant properly pronounce their dishes and their WAGYU, which is what they are well known for, taste like a piece of horrible CRAP when you compare Nobu in Hong Kong.

This is a real scam for Brits / Europeans who don't know what REAL WAGYU is, and they tried and pretended that "it is delicious"

Tables / Seating arrangement my old days in my boarding house canteen! =D

Today it was my second time and nobu just disapointed me. The waitress brought a glass of merlot, the highest priced open wine, which was obviously bad. I requested to change the wine. However the SNOB waitress told me that i have to pay for the wine that i did not even drink! I paid it but there is noway that i am going to go to nobu again!
