    My wife and I have always wanted to try Nobu. It was a very enjoyable experience. We had a table facing the marina (at night). It was a well heated area with minimal noise from nearby tables. The food was coming at a timely manner and our server was very attentive especially for our first time describing the cold/hot dishes. We ended up ordering the spicy tuna with crispy rice, wagyu goyza/tacos, and several other rolls (salmon sashimi/yellowtail +jalapeno). We were full where we didn’t have room for dessert. My wife enjoyed the mango passion fruit drink. Overall this experience will lead us to multiple returning visits.

    Definitely one of the better quality AYCE around!!! Service was great. They were very attentive. They have a system - there is a sign on the table that you turn if you need service. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Rolls were great and not too overloaded with heavy sauce. They are pretty strict with their eating time (1 1/2) but we were full at 1 hour and 15 and didn’t even order a 3rd round. Recommend going with at least four people to make sure you experience a greater variety of rolls as they don’t do half rolls. Make a reservation to limit your wait. Would definitely go back!!! Yummy!!!

    The food is always fantastic at this restaurant and the service is usually great as well, but on this visit the service was a little slow. It was not much of an issue as it was Christmas Eve and I believe the restaurant was a little short staffed. We felt our waiter did as well as he could as it appeared that he was only one of two waiters/waitresses we saw working the entire restaurant and both of them were doing hosting as well.
