Nobu Next Door, New York

The food is eclectic Japanese,...and very tasty. Be prepared for the prices though, but you will surely impress your date!

If you can afford the best of Japanese go to Nobu

Great sushi at Nobu New York. Very fresh tasting and large selection with some interesting creations of their own.

nice

it is nobu...what else can you say. bring your wallet and don't order california rolls. or any rolls for that matter here or you are missing the experience.

Very romantic, low key setting, but small so you might have to wait for a table. Just head downstairs to the cute little lounge, you can order apps there too. I love the meatloaf dish and french toast the best!

With all of the hype surrounding Nobu and all the celebrity sightings, it sounds as if it might be priced out of most people's league. Not necessarily! We did not have the 'omakase' (chef's choice) that so many people recommend, because the waiter himself didn't recommend it, saying it could be great or terrible on any given night. Instead he gave great recommendations for particular dishes. For two people, we ordered the following: cold sake raw yellowtail with jalapeno washu beef rock shrimp tempura black cod with miso snow pea tempura scallop tempura house sushi roll bento box chocolate souffle dessert coffee espresso The bill came to $139 before tip, which I found very reasonable for the amount and quality of food. The yellowtail and the rock crab were two of the most shockingly wonderful flavors I have ever experienced. These were both recommendations from the waiter. He also said the black cod was 'a must', but we found that dish only moderately delicious in comparison. The omakase is priced anywhere from $80 to $120 (and up) per person, and it sounds like a bit of a crapshoot. One interesting note - most patrons were in very casual clothing (read: t-shirts and jeans) and we were overdressed in a dress/shirt and tie.

My sister and I visited on a recent trip and were surprised by the excellent value lunch menu. The drinks were also reasonably priced and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent and was fresh and innovative. We had a great time.

I generally can't eat any japanese food except for cooked sushi rolls like eel and crab. But at Nobu, I ate everything we ordered and it was delicious! My stomach didn't complain once, which meant that it was the good quality stuff! I loved the Kobe beef and their Blacked Cod with Miso sauce. Definitely recommend it! It's worth the 2 month wait!

There are a ton of copy cat restaurants. However, Nobu still has the best quality of food and is constantly innovating.
