Jessica M.May 17, 2015If you want to transport back to the early 2000s and cozy up to the table next to you, try the yellowtail with jalapeño, crispy rice with spicy tuna, black miso cod, and creamy spicy crab. It works.
Restaurant week ($38): Rock shrimp tempura, assorted sushi, and tiramisu. All great, but you may want to dip under the fish on your sushi and remove some of the wasabi. It can be awfully harsh.
EaterOctober 28, 2013Just launched brunch. Many of the dishes are Japanese riffs on American brunch classics. Options include "scrambled egg donburi," blueberry and yuzu soba pancakes, lobster with soba and poached eggs.
Renaud #January 28, 2018Excellent service, tasty dishes. We focused on Nobu’s classics: miso black cod, yellowtail sashimi, rock shrimp. Great for a birthday dinner 🥂
Sandy GMarch 23, 2014For brunch, consider the excellent Breakfast Tacos. Beef inside, quail egg on top. Delicious! If only the portions were larger - I need another entree now.... The cocktails are just superb.
Eunice WOctober 10, 2017Went with chef choice. Favs are blue fin toro w/ caviar, yellowtail w/ jalapeño, and washu beef, but everything is pretty freakin amazing!
JW CogmanApril 14, 2017Get the salmon new style, jalapeno yellowtail, fluke tiradito style. Also get the black cod in butter lettuce wraps. Cheaper and better than the regular black cod
Nikhita MahtaniJanuary 18, 2016Come for brunch!! They do salmon on cream cheese crispy rice and matcha waffles. Divine and just a fun twist on staples
Cole Kennedy1 week agoMore or less enjoyed everything, particularly the black miso cod and the yellowtail jalapeño dish, but it’s popular with expense accounts for a reason. More about the vibes than the food.
Sammy GoldfienJanuary 30, 2014Chicken in chicken and waffles was awesome. So was the Crispy Rice "Bagel" and the breakfast tacos, though personally I think you can skip the Lobster and grits!- Otherwise known as the cafeteria of media! I know this menu like the back of my hand. 🍣Upvoted 1 week ago
Joel WatsonJanuary 29, 2022Attentiveness. The food is excellent. From the appetisers to the desserts, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The cappuccino was velvety smooth and delicious.- Renaud #January 27, 2019We enjoyed the Lobster tempura with Ponzu sauce. Next time we will try it with creamy sauce.
Eric LitmanApril 25, 20113 tips in 1: change up the rock shrimp by getting it with the honey truffle aioli (off menu). Don't be shy about getting 1/2 orders. And get a mojito with yuzu and shiso instead of lime and mint.
You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Pricy but so good! Also don't need reservations and easier to access than regular Nobu. Less likely to see a celebrity though
Jasmine MehrabiFebruary 18, 2020Came here for Valentine’s Day (pre fix menu). Sushi and sashimi was amazing but wasn’t a fan of the fried fish balls. Super pricey for fish that wasn’t the best I’ve had in the city.
Barry CollymoreDecember 4, 2018All the sushi will be the best you’ve ever had. The Wagu Beef Tacos are also a must!
M BOctober 11, 2017Scrumptious blue fin tuna with erengi mushrooms. The sleekest, coolest decor EVAH. Attentive staff w/ Superior service- Lunch bento box, yellowtail & jalapeno, crispy rice with tuna, spicy creamy crab, miso cod wraps
Sonal UMarch 13, 2011Get the sauteed tofu dish with jalapeno sauce (off the menu), grilled vegetable skewers with the red chili marinade, the vegetable sushi and the bento box dessert. Yum!
BravoNovember 15, 2010The ambiance and décor alone is reason enough to dine here. However, its innovative cuisine is a treat for all of your senses. -Lynda Erkiletian, Real Housewives of DC- Howard SamuelsAugust 2, 2023Honestly try everything… The lamp chops, beef dumplings, salmon tar tar… to name a few
Ms HeleneFebruary 25, 2015Restaurant Week menu $38, miso cod bites app, Arctic char entree & strawberry baba cake
Julialouisegraves GravesNovember 6, 2016Great food. Iffy service. Had to wait 30 mins for a reserved table for 2. Since the heat was on blast I waited outside on the steps, only to be lectured by the manager. Now that's just wack...
Best sushi in Manhattan. Also be sure to try the cod!!
- smith riderApril 14, 2021The Lobster tempura was delicious. This dish is ideal for a birthday dinner.
Lindsey KimOctober 8, 2014Go for brunch and get the smoked salmon and the chicken and waffles. Life changing dishes
Susan HAugust 2, 2012Not only is the food outstanding esp the Rock Shrimp, great people watching! An experience every time!- BravoNovember 18, 2010Hip as hip gets!!! One of my favorite places to go to people watch! Great food, great atmosphere, lots of fun. -Caroline Manzo, Real Housewives of NJ
- Guest of a GuestJanuary 25, 2012This branch of the original, Nobu, offers a raw bar of the day's freshest market catch, unlike its contemporary. Read more
John ChewMay 10, 2010I recommend the omakase which allows the chef to choose the dishes for you. Ask for the black cod cooked in miso as it is one of Nobu's signature dishes.
Alex ZaltsmanSeptember 21, 2011Try the Sayori if they have it. Get there by 7p on weekdays for the best seats.

Manda ShettletonFebruary 13, 2012Sushi blow my mind but the Lobster Tempura did. Tables are a bit crowded.
