Nobu

Not The REAL NYC Nobu AT ALL

by Nickolle at Citysearch

My boyfriend and I made reservations at Nobu for a Friday night. We walked in and immediately had to walk around a photographer shooting photos of two scantily clad women eating the food (one girl looked like she was dressed for Girls Gone Wild) for what was presumably advertising purposes. The flash on his camera kept going off incessantly right in our faces and the photographer was taking photos all around us. We were at the bar and he kept going around it and we'd have to stare at him taking photos of everything. VERY unprofessional.

The sushi chef was very polite and very quick with our orders, but it was probably the most mediocre sushi I've ever had. The waiter would just reach in between us to take plates or fill water without even saying excuse me.

My boyfriend and I weren't dressed like tourists (he lives there). I was wearing Herve Leger and my boyfriend was wearing Hugo Boss. We did not look like we were about to go gamble as soon as we slid some sushi down our gullets. We didn't understand the whole scene.

Having lived in NYC and having been to the Nobu there, this was a crass environment with a bunch of poorly dressed people talking loudly. Even the hostesses were dressed like they just walked out of Walmart. I was sincerely shocked.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The sushi was just okay, the service was rude and it was just like any other strip restaurant I've ever been to but the prices were just more outrageous. Avoid.

Meal of a Lifetime

by DrewBeaners at Citysearch

Went to Nobu for a Bachelor Pary dinner. We ordered the 10-course Omakase dinner for our party of 15, and we were just blown away...

Wonderful attentive service...

about 4 plates of Sashimi came out, one after the other...each one melting in your mouth like butter...Tuna, yellowtail, and a few others...

Then the dishes started to warm up, and we received a lettuce wrap with scallop and Black cod. I thought I was going to keel over because of how unreal this dish was...I could have eaten 50 of them...

Some filet mignon, and 2 warm shrimp dishes were probably the most mediocre, but they were still very good...

then the whole snapper, which had a sauce that could cure cancer and bring world peace...

then some perfect sushi to complete the meal...

It worked out to $150 / person, all-in, and we had several bottles of sake, and some other drinks as well..

Everyone left satisfied and no one left hungry...

Nobu was a dining experience that is going to be hard to match...Bravo!...

• Pros: You'd think the ocean was in the kitchen
• Cons: Expensive...it is what it is...

Nobu at the Hard Rock, the best Japanese cusine in Vegas

by JKWarner at Citysearch

A couple hours ago I treated myself to a birthday dinner at Nobu, the Japanese restaurant at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The food was superb and appeasing both to the eye and the palate. Visually the presentation was a cross between Rembrandt and Michelangelo it started my taste buds dancing with joy from the first glimpse. Each dish was as carefully explained as it was prepared. As I placed each bite into my mouth, my palate was climbing up moonbeams, dancing on clouds, and sliding down rainbows. The food was carefully prepared with the finest ingredients and the flavor was incomparable. I had the one-hundred fifty dollar seven course Chefs? Sampler. I could describe in intricate detail every course, but that would take away from the mystery, that allows one?s imagination to run wild in eager anticipation as you?re awaiting the next course. Suffice it to say a glimpse is all I will divulge, the fois gras and Kobe beef with caviar made my legs nearly commence dancing. The significance of this is a thrice broken back, which has left me partially paralyzed and numb from the waist down. In addition not only is the quality unsurpassed, but the quantity as well. Nobu is a must add to your Bucket List. I?ve eaten at some of the best restaurants in Las Vegas both nouveau and classic. (Restaurants like the Alize? at the Top of the Palms and classic old school Vegas like the Golden Steer, both phenomenal, in my humble opinion.). The wait staff is friendly and accommodating, as well as knowledgeable and informative. I?ve eaten at restaurants from San Diego to Vancouver, BC. My last vice is the enjoyment of cuisines from around the world. Nobu has earned a spot at the top of my list as one of the most enjoyable restaurants I?ve ever experienced and some of the best food I?ve ever had the luxury to consume. (Tonight was my third visit, and the good lord willing, far from my last.) If there are chop sticks in Heaven then Nobu will be there as well.

• Pros: Greeat
• Cons: NONE

Simply delicious!

I had a great time here on my B-day two weeks ago. The staff was fast and friendly. Our waiter was very helpful in selecting our meal. I will definitely go back. It was some of the best food I have ever had. Try the Black Cod for the hot dish it was some of the best food I have ever had.

• Pros: The food was great
• Cons: The hard rock hotel itself is in need of a face lift

Nothing short of amazing

by jiggat23 at Citysearch

After reading the previous two reviews I feel inclined to write one. I was at Nobu two weeks ago with a large group of people. There were nine of us at the table and all walked away beyond satisfied. We had the chief's tasting menu and if I tried to explain how incredibly good each course was, this would be a book. Our waiter/the rest of the people who helped out were great in explaining each course, getting us drinks and helping out. They may have changed staffs since the previous bad reviews.

If you want to have an amazing meal, this is the place to go. As far as sushi standards are, this is at the top of the class. Highly recommend this place, but also recommend being ready to pay severly for the quality food.

• Pros: Food-food-food
• Cons: Pricey
