Delicious food and fabulous service
We had a lovely late lunch here on a Sunday afternoon - the service was very friendly, efficient and attentive and the food was really good. The seabass sashimi with jalapeño in particular was delightful. They also did a great job of catering for various allergies on our table including crustacean and gluten free so this is a great option if you have allergies - I would not hesitate to bring my coeliac family members which is good as it can be tricky with Japanese food! Thank you Nobu team!

I was at Nobu for lunch with friends yesterday and the experience was faultless from start to finish. It was a joy to be in a restaurant with music but without it being so loud that you cannot have a decent conversation. The welcome cocktails were light and fresh, the perfect accompaniment to the classic yellowtail with jalapenos (my personal favourite dish) and sea bass tiradito. We took a sharing approach to the food and guided by the fantastic wait staff we were treated to the light but delicious spinach salad, a selection of sushi (the spicy tuna and toro with scallions were standout), grilled aspargus, the mouthwatering wagyu beef gyozas and a special of wagyu beef shortrib in shisho that should be added to the main menu asap! The desserts were equally delicious, particularly the nashi pear wrapped in vermicelli pastry with chestnut cream. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were incredibly intolerant of our party's various allergies (including gluten free, dairy free and shellfish allergies). Can't wait to go back and check out the terrace when the weather picks up.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing - 100% recommend!
Everything was fantastic. The food was the best Japanese food I’ve had since living in Tokyo. Staff were all incredibly attentive and welcoming. Little touches like changing plates to avoid mixing tastes and brining out extra pickled ginger made all the difference. Great atmosphere. 100% recommend visiting!
Be the first to ReplyFirst class food, but service kind of annoying
The food is hard to beat anywhere in the world - absolutely first class. Service we found very impersonal and kind of irritating to ask someone to come over, only to find it’s not their table or they are only the plate clearer not the order taker etc. Wine was slow to be topped up. It would not be hard to arm all staff with a paper and pencil so they could handle multiple roles. A few more smiles and a desire to exceed expectations wouldn’t go amiss given the price.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic afternoon tea
We visited for afternoon tea, the savoury options were lovely very fish heavy... For anyone wondering I did enjoy it but nothing is as stand out as the sweet selection!! Those cakes and pastries are absolutely delicious everything is a 10 out of 10. The service is impeccable, Laura was warm and friendly she was helpful in helping us decide what teas to have too. Checked in on us throughout there were no long waits for anything.

Be the first to ReplyAn unforgettable experience...
first time at this Nobu the welcome was great from the moment we entered with friendly reception staff who showed us to our table. A wide options of dishes on the menu we didn’t know what to order. Giuliano, our waiter, did a great job advising us what dishes to try, he practically designed the menu for us understanding what was our preferences, explaining the dishes and the history behind them. The dishes were delicious with beautiful presentation. thanks to all the professional and attentive staff. definitely recommended. Looking forward to come back!!

Be the first to ReplyPoor attitude from Paola the receptionist!
Paola the receptionist has a serious attitude problem! If she doesn't like serving people she should leave the job! She absolutely ruined everything! I don't understand how she is working at this very nice restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyStellar aperitif!
Excellent! We had an aperitif at the hotel bar and it was the right choice: we had two dishes and two glasses of wine, letting the staff recommend it: stellar Nobu aubergine! Glass of French wine followed by equally Californian wine! Congratulations to the sommelier and manager for the excellent service! Super recommended!
Be the first to ReplySunday Special with feel-good vibes
A fun and delicious lunch in a cool venue. I had the fixed-price Sunday special menu with a great cocktail, plenty of top-quality and healthy food and rounded off with an impressive dessert presentation, which didn't fail to delight. The ambience was buzzy with a live DJ (vinyl-playing) spinning chilled and recognisable tunes, and importantly for me, at the right volume level, so as to not compete with our table chat. The staff were attentive and nicely chatty, so all in all, I felt relaxed and happy in this smart restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyGreat food, great service from Giuliano.
Giuliano took good care of us from start to finish. He basically ordered for the entire table. And was super attentive despite having to serve another table of hollywood celebs. Food was excellent.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious meal, outstanding service and vibe
Had a delicious meal, with recommendations from great staff who perfectly catered to gluten-free dietary needs. Atmospheric setting with a wide range of delicious dishes. A culinary delight.
Be the first to ReplyFabulous atmosphere, great food and 5 star service
I was here for dinner. Nice buzz around the restaurant and I had the chef testing menu. Food was great and the service from the team was fantastic. Specfically a shout out to my waiter for the night, Mr. Giuliano. He looked after me very well.
Be the first to ReplyNot worth a visit
Nothing special about this place. Went there for a dinner and they made it hard to reserve a table and after several attempts we got a table for 2 persons. We went there and the hosts told us sorry you have to wait for an hour an half !! I said never mind we will come tomorrow and went there the food was terrible. I can tell you the food was not worth it, overrated and over priced for no reason.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent food and service
Third time in 3 months, this time for a birthday treat. What sets this apart from other Japanese restaurants is the combination of quality and service which we both found impeccable. I find it rare for children to be made welcome in high end Japanese restaurants. Special thanks to our Sicilian waiter, Juliano I believe!
Be the first to ReplyMore ROB-U than NOBU
Have visited twice before and had a great experience food-wise. However, wouldn't go back after last night's dinner experience. Don't often feel compelled to write a bad review but even for London, it was a day light robbery. If you charge those kinds of prices, you really need to deliver on quality and service. First disappointment was a starter of £36 chicken wings - how many chicken wings do you imagine that would get you? Well, my friend - that would 4 HALF wings, not enough to even feel a small child. As well as tiny and very average crispy rice to the tune of £27.50. Things didn't get better from there - Black Cod should be a pride of a Japanese restaurant but it was so BLAH. Putting BLA into BLAND. Yes, please take my £53 for that average dish! But the biggest "shock" came after an innocent offer from the waiter of having truffle shavings on the lobster - those said truffle shavings were £35 added to the bill. I don't know if those truffle shavings were sniffed out by some Royal pigs or hand-picked by the fair hands of the Chef himself but that's the most expensive price for truffles anywhere in the world? To be fair, the lobster dish was great, as well as the Green Tea Tiramisu and the spicy cauliflower. However, having to pay a King's ransom for 3 good dishes isn't the business you want to be in unless you want to lose customers which Nobu duly did now. You have been warned!

Couldn’t recommend this Nobu more. The food is mouthwatering, and I have been craving for the unique flavours since my visit. Service is impeccable!
Be the first to ReplyBest lunch ever
Staff was amazing. They made us feel like home while providing us the utmost luxury. And of course the food was amazing. My favorites are the crispy rice and the spinach salad with truffle.

Had one of the best experiences at Nobu. The food was incredible but the service was exceptional. Felt really looked after there. Looking forward to going again!
Be the first to ReplyNever disappointing, Always a pleasant family dinner
I am a big Nobu fan, loved the Portman square more than park lane in London. Ambience, food and service all tick the box for a lovely family dinner. Recommended to try Tiradito, yellowtail jalapeño, shrimp spicy garlic and O-toro nigiri and of course the famous for miso black cod Been there last year, this year and will for sure visit again when in London another time .
Be the first to ReplyBad attitude
We ate at Nobu on their terrace - not cheap at £135 per head and indifferent service. Following the meal the porter spoke to us rudely as we left because we had apparently left via the wrong exit (despite being escorted in that way at the outset). Terrible attitude. The manager totally ineffectual. Overpriced establishment with arrogant staff.
Be the first to ReplyWe won’t visit again
There shouldn’t be a charge for the service charge for the service they provide. For us it was £30. The pork belly was shocking. We ordered a bottle of still water that we have never received but it was on the bill, which they had to cancel. We laid around £300 for two adults and two children. 2 Kids chicken skewers cost £19 ! Dried out chicken skewers. Why? We were expecting the meal to be particularly good as it’s supposed to be one of the best Japanese restaurant. If you are looking for a special meal and you’re prepared to pay few hundred pounds, find somewhere better.
Be the first to Replydecent-ish
Been here a few times in 21-22 for work and personal lunches/dinners.
Overall, its ok . I wouldnt come back for the food unless someone really wanted to try it. I've done the omakase twice. -I would avoid it unless you really cba to make decisions.
Sashimi/sushi is ok- nothing to rave about.
Lobster tacos were underwheleming.
Tuna and salmon tacos are insanely good!
The truffle chicken is brilliant, so to is the chilli chicken.
Deserts are definitely good, just avoid the matcha ice cream! -I find it gross!
OK food, slightly disappointing service
We ordered a 7 course omakase. The first 4 courses were amazing which were finished within an hour but it started going downhill… we waited over an hour for our 5th course, only then to be forgotten and received a very disappointing beef tataki, bland and chewy. 6th course was a gummy prawn “soup” which had no flavour at all. At this point we’ve sat at our table for over 3 hours and frankly, getting agitated. Honestly, it just ruined the mood. So we asked if we could box up our leftovers to take home, waitress said yes of course. Got the bill. Then told they’d thrown the food away. The waiters and manager did apologise which we appreciated. However, for the the prices… you’d expect the food and service to be outstanding. It was not.
I have never asked for service charge to be taken off but this experience was an exception.
The front of house need to work on their communication skills as this was truly the let down of this experience.
Don’t think I’ll be coming here again, the other London Nobu’s are much better.
