Profile

This hallowed establishment still ranks among the 40 top restaurants in town, but not by much. The great fusion chef Nobu Matsuhisa has done enough innovating to span several culinary lifetimes, and, more than most things cooked up during the nineties, his miso-marinated black cod, rock shrimp with spicy mayonnaise, and tuna tartare with a bed of crushed avocado all have stood the test of time. But the sushi has never been great, and with eighteen Nobu outlets now scattered around the globe, it’s becoming clear that franchising has its costs. — Adam Platt

Recommended Dishes

Kumamoto oysters with Maui onion salsa, $12; black cod with miso, $26; Omakase dinner, starts at $100 per person

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our meal at Nobu, but we were disappointed because it is VERY overrated. We have eaten at the best restaurants in NYC and around the world, and this did not live up to the hype. The food was good and fresh, but not worth the pricetag. The chef's menu is available for $100, $120, and $150. When we asked the waiter about the prices, he said it depended on the work that is placed in the dish, but that the ingredients and the portions are the same. What a joke, and a gimick to feed into people's ego. I do not plan on returning to Nobu-- I prefer Megu. Nobu is overpriced, I would not recommend it.

Good food, very large bill!

The food is really good. However, be prepared for very large plates with only 1 bite of food on them. This adds up to a very expensive night after which you will need to go somewhere else to fill up. I did like the place though and would go back. It is very trendy inside and the food was really amazing. However the bill may be shocking for some.
