“Service was great. Two waiters were constantly checking on us. The quality you expect for the price.”
“My husband & I came in for our first Nobu experience. Our waitress was very kind & soft spoken. She knew the menu pretty well & gave us great suggestions on the food & drinks. We decided to do their 5 course Omakase which showcased Nobu's signature items. We paired the food with Nobu's Junmai Ginjo 71 sake. Everything was so delicious & we were very full by the end of the course. I barely had room for the last two items, which were the ribeye & dessert. 10/10 we would come back!”
“Nina was a fantastic host! She was warm and bonded with my cousin over a shared connection to LA. Great customer service off the bat. The food was delicious as expected, we chose the omakase.”
“Amazing experience. I had been wanting to try Nobu for the longest time but couldn’t make it to their Malibu location when I was in California last year. Came to Chicago for a work trip and decided to try this location on a whim and i’m so glad I did. Every dish we had was carefully prepared, but the miso cod was absolutely incredible. It was flaky and literally melted in my mouth. The yellowtail jalapeno was also great and not too spicy. The banana soy toban dish was the best dessert I have ever had at a restaurant.”
“I'm a huge fan of the salmon or wagyu tacos, the crispy rice dish, their signature hamachi dish, and the wagyu beef dish they light in fire at the table is melt in your mouth! Great brunch buffet!”
“Nobu Chicago delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance is upscale and stylish while still feeling welcoming, making it an excellent choice for a special night out. Every dish is beautifully presented and packed with flavor, showcasing the attention to detail that Nobu is known for. The service is attentive and professional, adding to the overall experience without ever feeling intrusive. The combination of outstanding food, elegant atmosphere, and polished service makes for a memorable visit. While it is undeniably expensive, even by big city standards, the quality and experience make it feel well worth the price. A fantastic destination for anyone looking to enjoy a truly elevated meal in Chicago.”
“Nobu provides impeccable service that is unmatched. From the city skyline view to the upbeat vibe, the experience is electric.”
“Went for a small bite on a Sunday afternnon and found the brunch buffet. A tremendous value!”
“Wow! We had a great night! Starting with our server Jen. She was so knowledgeable. I had the Empire martini, my husband had Chi-town cooler. We started with the cucumber salad and spicy tuna crispy rice. Next was the Wagyu tacos and a king crab taco. Then we got the shrimp tempura roll, eggplant miso, rock shrimp tempura, and miso cod. After all that we still found room for dessert. Miso cake with banana gelato and tiramiso with gelato. We ordered a second serving of the Wagyu tacos. For us, we could have done without the eggplant and the rock shrimp. Amazing dinner!!!”
“Lowkey and relaxing atmosphere, we stopped in for a drink. The Lychee & Elderflower martini is my new favorite drink, it was genuinely fantastic, 10/10.”
