actually had a very same experience as Hampy. At best this would be a very, very average sushi place - kind of that one might walk in if in a hurry during lunch in a city never visited before. Tartar appetizer was the only one worth mentioning. Most of the dishes were way too salty, size wise they were okay though. Quality wise, to my ...

We went to Nobu for lunch chef special. The fish tartar is amazing: my husband had the yellow tail and I had the tunar tartar. Both are equally awesome. The molten chocolate dessert is awesome as well. I rate the Sushi and Shrimp Tempura that we got as being average.

I was impressed with the food. I had only tried sushi one other time and didn't like it. However, everything I had at Nobu was very good. We were well attended to. It was a nice setting in a small restaurant and a good time.

I went to Nobu a few months ago expecting to be wowed. And I was. But not for the reasons one would think. My experience was a real let down. Perhaps my expectations were too high. After all, I was comparing it to such fine sushi eateries as Restaurant Hama in Venice, California and Eda-Ya Sushi in Honolulu, Hawaii. And why not, Nobu holds ...

Totally agree with the previous review. There is just absolutely no reason to pay high prices for bad sushi unless you just want to be in the presence of pompous wait staff and possible Hollywood star or two. Other than that, just go elsewhere and find your best neighborhood sushi bar. Nobu is overrated, full of hype and sushi so fishy you have to pinch your nose to eat it, if you can find it on your plate.

pricey

Very pricey meal, but you get what you pay for. The sushi is outstanding and the tempura is amazing, I would definitely go back. The service wasn't that friendly, but whatever, who cares, it was a great time.!

One of my better Japanese dining experiences. They have the best Tempura I've ever tasted. Worth every penny!

Extraordinary Sushi but,
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/06/07
I visited Nobu on June 15th while on a conference trip to New York City. I found the sushi incredible, but not how the employee's were treated. If not for that fact, I would absolutely visit Nobu again.

Over-rated
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/05/07
Visited Nobu on Hudson St. with a friend recently. Though the ambience was nice, the prices were a bit disproportionate to what was being offered. We both had the Omikase with a bottle of sake, and our bill including tip was about $500. I would say no matter what the standard, that much money for two people to have dinner and drinks is a bit much.
