Nobu Newport Beach Reviews from The Last Year

the decor and location is extremely beautiful, but that's what you're paying for- if you want good sushi there's other places that make mote sense financially. not sure if it's worth the price tag.
Food was solid, service super disappointing.
Dinner on Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 7:00 pm. All started out well with our server. We were polite and food was delivered in a timely manner. About midway though our service, the server never came back. We ordered another round of drinks and they never arrived. We asked the busboy and he ensured us they were on the way, again they never came. Our waitress walked by our table a number of times. We tried to get her attention, but she just ignored us. Basically her give a sh@! attitude ruined our experience. When you spend that much money at Nobu you expect much better. Will not return there. Such a shame.
My boyfriend took me here for my birthday.
We had reservations and were seated right away on the heated/covered patio overlooking the water. Our server was amazing. He was friendly, attentive, and gave us great recommendations on the menu. I spilled a bit of my drink on the table and he noticed from a distance and cleaned it up before I even blinked. Great service. Things we ordered: - Yellowtail sashimi jalapeño: This was my favorite part of the meal. The fish was fresh and the acidity of the sauce complimented it well. - Bigeye and bluefin toro tartare: the tartare was covered in a wasabi sauce that I found to be a little too strong, but my boyfriend loved it. I did love the brininess of the ossetra caviar added to it. - Crispy rice with spicy tuna: you can never go wrong with this at any restaurant. The crispy rice was fried evenly and better than any other ones I've tried, but I don't think it was worth the price. - Wagyu tacos: extremely melt in your mouth tender. It was yummy, but extremelyyyy small. It's bite size and disappeared way too quickly. - Yellowtail scallion roll: a simple roll, but you can really taste how good quality everything is down to the seaweed. - Black cod miso: extremely buttery and melts in your mouth. It's worth the hype. - Chilean sea bass with dry miso: I was excited to try this one, but it was the most disappointing. The fish itself was well cooked and really moist, but the top layer with the dry miso was way too salty. My boyfriend and I had to eat around it. - Bento box: it's a dessert bento box with matcha ice cream and a chocolate lava cake. It was delicious. The matcha flavor was strong in the ice cream instead of like a lot of places where there's just a hint of matcha and all sugar. The lava cake was perfectly gooey on the inside. - Lychee martini: I usually hate cocktails because of the general taste of alcohol , but this one tasted like I was just chomping down on straight lychee on a tropical vacation. I had two of them and was feeling pretty good by the end of dinner. I give it 4 stars. The portion sizes are small, and although it was good, I don't think it was worth it. The Chilean bass with dry miso was also a real miss, and for the price, I'm expecting close to perfect.
Came here for the very first time.
Our sever Andrew was very friendly. Overall staff and customer service is impeccable. They recommend doing cold and hot dishes. He was very helpful! Spicy tuna rice cake - had a unique twist bc it was crispy and it was surprisingly good 10/10. The salmon nashi pear -Had a bit of truffle oil (super good), the salmon was great quality and the pear was added which made it crunchy. 8/10 The yellowtail jalapeño -This was one of my favorite dishes 10/10. If you like the citrus flavor, def get this. Monk fish pate with caviar -This was pretty good, but it's something I wouldn't order again. 7/10 Rock shrimp tempura -This also has a citrus flavor to it. The texture is more like a honey walnut shrimp but better. 8/10 Soft shell crab -The server said this wasn't his favorite bc it was wrapped with radish, but I really liked this dish. I would get this again. 10/10 Uni -if you're an Uni lover, I recommend getting this. It's so fresh and yummy. I'm not a fan of Uni but this was one of the best! Fluke -We saw this on IG photos and it looked good, so we tried it. I just remember having the sesame sauce on it. It was bad but it wasn't memorable to me. 7/10 As for dessert, we got the bento box. It came with a lid and they opened it when it arrived to our table. I didn't know it was similar to a molten lava cake, and this was very delicious. Very rich but not too sweet. The matcha ice cream was the best part! I'm not sure if it was gelato or not, but I def recommend this dessert. I'd come back to try out their different dishes and desserts. But this is a place to go to splurge on special occasions. The portions are small so keep that in mind. But overall a great experience from staff to food. Tip They do have valet, but there's a parking structure right across. They can validate your ticket as well.
After years of wanting to try Nobu, it finally happened and
After years of wanting to try Nobu, it finally happened and I was not disappointed. DISCLAIMER: You're paying for the quality of the food, location, experience, and top notch service, not for portion sizes. They keep them small, which is nice because you get to try a lot of items on their menu. However, if you're not ready to spend at least $200 for a lunch/dinner for two for example, then this is not the restaurant for you. Parking is easy if you go to Lido regularly. Valet was full so we parked in the structure nearby. Give yourself time to find parking esp if you come during peak hours and if you're not familiar with the area, it can be tricky. We had reserved and we showed up a little early, but we were sat down right away. The place was pristine and clean. We had an excellent waiter, he was super professional and very friendly ! The staff here really want you to have a great experience and we def did. Plates were switched out regularly and our waiter made sure everything was running smooth. The yellowtail is unbelievable and it's obvious why it's the most popular item on the menu. The fish has a buttery texture that melts in your mouth, and the sauce is just divine. The burgers are delicious and the meat quality was out of this world. The rolls to me were not what stood out the most on the menu, but they are still top notch quality. The miso soup had huge chunks of tofu that would please anyone who's obsessed with it. If you order the tacos, get ready because they're ridiculously small but oh so good. Spicy tuna cakes were also amazing and were my partners fave thing we ordered besides the yellowtail. The bento box was perfect for two and was the best way to end our meal. The chocolate was not too sweet and the texture was really nice. We left feeling full/satisfied and what we ordered was the perfect amount of food for us. It's def worth the hype and I understand why a lot of celebrities love coming here, it exceeded my expectations. Thanks Nobu!
First time at the Newport Beach area.
Love it. we sat at the sushi bar. I had the chef make whatever he wanted. No spicy hot for me though. Service was great. Staff attentive. Bathroom Clean. I am a picky about how a bathroom looks. Food impeccable. Weill go there again
Nobu is always a good idea.

Everything we ate was amazing! Big thanks to the wait and kitchen staff for being outstanding and especially our server Chris, for being so amazing and making our special night so incredible! If you don't want to pay for valet, you can park in the structure across the street. It's pretty pricey, but the food just melts in your mouth and is just so good. The dishes are packed with flavor and send your taste buds into flavor town. FYI for nigiri sushi, they charge per piece. Below is a list of what was ordered. Put an asterisk next to what I would definitely order again. Sashimi salad* Yellowtail Sashimi Jalapeno* White Fish Tiradito Chilean Sea Bass with Dry Miso* Ribeye with Truffle Butter* Fatty Tuna* Salmon* Freshwater Eel* Bento Box (really rich)

This was my first time ordering a la carte at Nobu and let me share with you my most memorable items on the menu. The lychee martini definitely hit the spot because it wasn't too sweet. Wagyu tacos quite literally melted in my mouth and hand rolls were definitely not to my expectations considering the cost. The seaweed wasn't even crunchy, so the whole hand roll tasted soggy. Definitely get the toro hand roll! The flavors in that hand roll were my favorite. I loved how simplistic everything looked, but the ambience was okay. The music was quite loud considering I was at a work dinner, and though I personally didn't mind, it was hard to hear someone else talking so I definitely wouldn't recommend for a more intimate occasion. The DJ definitely made it seem more so like a night club feel, a stark contrast to the ambience at the Malibu location which I preferred. One thing I will definitely applaud and give credit where it's due is their impeccable service. My friend didn't like her mushroom soup and they gave her the miso instead! Everytime it seemed like our plate was too messy, someone was always there to help us replace it.
Pretty good but Very Overpriced
The food was pretty good but honestly way overpriced. I don’t mind paying fine dining prices for a fine dining meal - but the food was nowhere near that level. Sushi was fresh and nothing was bad, but charging $30 for two tiny Wagyu tacos was akin to taking a bad joke too far.
The worst service at Nobu Newport Beach
Poor service from our server Manny. Dont recommend the service from Manny but definitely I recommend Nobu as an highly fine dining restaurant and extraordinary and delicious food.
Nice
THANKSGIVING DINNER 2023 Great Food, Great Service. Spicy Tuna handrolls were very very TASTEEEEE!
Nobu-no go
So- I have avoided Nobu everywhere forever until this family trip. We were in Newport Beach and decided to go- let me first say we are a party of 5 and in no way was cost a factor in this review - in fact I don’t know what the final bill was but I am sure over a thousand. Now let’s start from the beginning -reservation easy I did on line and booked for 6 and stated it was a special occasion as we were celebrating our son in law’s and soon to be daughter in law’s birthdays. Arrival - we were sat in the bar area at a table made for 4 for cocktails on a small marble table. We assumed our table just wasn’t ready. They brought over 2 more chairs and then started setting the table- immm no- there was no way 6 people could enjoy a meal here. We asked for a table they said it was too windy outside - there were others out there- what…the waiter was upset about giving up the table we over heard. Plus the table was between a table of parents and kids and both running back and forth - and as another note the restaurant the night before called and said they would need to move our table inside maybe due to wind and asked to push reservation back 30 minutes. No big deal good customer service Finally the manager got us moved and some of the other tables outside were used for others that were there before us. Cocktails - the kids (adults) all enjoyed cocktails I had a nice glass of wine but the non- alcoholic menu (hubby has PBC) was ugh Food- we decided to order a lot and share - so just about 2 of many appetizers and all the “nobu must haves”. And then everyone ordered the sushi they wanted individually. One of the appetizers we all said was stand out. I think the white fish one. Everything else was fine. Have had way better eggplant, cod was fine and the sushi was not near as good as most of our favorite sushi restaurants. We all decided no dessert as we knew we could pop in somewhere on the way home. Prices on the menu were pretty much what I expected and like I said I didn’t see the final bill. No hype - no expectations and so I can not say I was disappointed But been there done that and won’t be back Truthfully I was hoping for really good sushi served correctly- but cold rice! And terrible customer service But our waiter was good Our intention was to order omakase - but didn’t was we all would have gotten the same thing and it was all things on the menu. Oh well.
Way overpriced for a tiny amount of food!
Good food, not great. Great service and great ambience. But… the food was ridiculously small! 4 bites of beef cost $50! The deserts were tiny! The shrimp and lobster was about seven bites of food yet cost $45. This is a pretentious ripoff!

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
