Nobu San Diego

We came here for dinner. We had a reservation. Very much recommended! Our server, Terry K was fantastic! She was attentive, very knowledgeable about the menu and gave excellent recommendations. We had the Brussels Sprouts Dry Miso as an appetizer. It was so delicious. For the Entrees we shared the Black Cod Miso, Free Range Chicken with Teriyaki on the side, and the Vegetable Toban Yaki. The cod just melted in our mouths. It was hard to share that! lol. The chicken was tender and moist. The Vegetable Toban Yaki was a perfect side dish. Absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend the Black Cod Miso as the dish they are most well known for….I can see why! My taste buds want more and more and more!! All the servers and staff that we came into contact with really made our entire experience just perfect!

First time for me at Nobu. The sushi was fantastic, and the sushi bar both comfortable and fun to sit at (dining alone). The chef was fun, and helpful to everyone there (lots of people asked for help, he took the time for everyone.) House roll was awesome. Expensive, but worth the cost. Might be the best sushi outside of Japan.

Made reservations for 2 on a Saturday. I also received a call and email to confirm the reservation a day prior. There is valet parking at the hotel. This was our first time at any Nobu so we decided to go for the omakase. It is 8 courses, but it is more like 3 cold entrees, 3 hot entrees, soup, and dessert. Also give yourself plenty of time since it took well over 2 hours. There was a delay midway through our meal and waiters apologized and refilled our iced green tea (wasnt sure if refills were supposed to be free or not but we weren't charged). Food overall was delicious and we really enjoyed the sashimi/sushi/wagyu/dessert. I did appreciate the waiters explaining what each course was. Due to the long wait the portions were filling for me but my spouse was still hungry after. Overall it was a great experience, but if I come again I'd probably order off the regular menu as that food came much quicker!

We went here while in town for a work conference. It was a really nice time, and they were able to switch us from patio seating to indoor with limited notice and we ended up staying for about two hours. Waters were refilled before they ran out. As was the champagne we ordered. It is family style which is something to keep in mind for allergies - though the staff was tip notch placing dishes with the allergen away from the person with the allergy, and they swapped out chopsticks and plates for everyone before going back to shared non-allergen courses. Everything was worth getting two of (which we did, except some things were bumped up to 3). We had the toro tartare, bluefin tuna, fish and chips, blackened cod, miso soup, king crab, toro nigiri and lobster. It was a bit pricey - with drinks expect to spend 250-300 per person before tip, if you aren't very hungry. Definitely worth the splurge in both money and calories.

The service was excellent. Each interaction with the staff was good except for the greeter. The food was so so. The green salad was salty 🧂. A salty salad!??? Come on! The eggplant 🍆 was much better than the salad, and the sushi 🍣 was better. The courses got better and better than the previous. If you are vegan don't go to Nobu except for the atmosphere and service.
