I have been twice and will not go back. The first time the food was excellent but the service was shocking. Unfortunately, the service problems were not an anomaly and the second time was just as bad in terms of service. There are too many fabulous places in London to eat that also give you a wonderful experience. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Well.... It is expensive but worth every penny... Their soft shell crab tempura is the best I ever had . Highly recommended for special occasions!! read more

I've only had drinks and snacks in the lounge but even from that experience I can say this is one very sexy and seductive dining/drinking environment. It's pricey [surprise!] but so what when time and space are shared with a sexy leggy local. read more

I've only had small plates and cocktails at the bar at this Nobo so perhaps it's an unfair comparison, but I like the food at the Park Lane Nobu better. I tried a few of the dishes and was most impressed by the asparagus (and we ordered a fair share of different sea food options). My 'martini' was more like lychee juice with a splash of vodka and I was thoroughly unimpressed by it. It's a good place for people watching but if you're trying to have a conversation, don't sit at one of the tables in the middle, the acoustics are weird and you won't be able to hear what the person a foot in front of you is saying. read more

The bar is great for people watching. My favorite tipple has to be the Strawberry Mojito, o think they're about £15 a pop so pretty much what you'd expect to pay in Mayfair. You can also eat in the bar, choosing from a sub section of the main restaurant menu, I highly recommend the Tuna Sashimi Salad. The main restaurant situated on the first floor is pretty much what you'd expect at this price range, the food is pretty good the staff attentive but be aware that they do like to tuen the tables over pretty quickly (I think it's every two hours) so you may feel like your being hurried along if you eat earlier in the evening read more

There's a reason why it's so hard to get a booking at Zuma and yet it's so easy at nobu... It didn't start well. We were a group of 3, there were a fair few tables empty and yet we were given a tight tiny table for 2. I refused such a bad table and was given a proper sized table. Service was terrible, slow and quite frankly useless from start to end. At an early evening booking, how do you run out of the rib eye steak? Or that there was no Sauvignon blanc by the glass? That's pretty poor. Anyway, had the tacos, nothing particularly special. A selection of sushi and sashimi, decent taste with the fish as expected, the rice in the sushi was not the best made, fell off too,easily. The shrimp tempura was fine, but Zuma is another level, much nicer, they serve the whole shrimp in a much better batter. The asparagus tempura was fine, bit greasy, slightly too thick hence they were still a bit hard to break on the end pieces. I had ordered rice to come with the miso cod which was next. That rice never came so fish by itself, as tasty as the fish is, you need something else with it. Very disappointing. Finally the last course of tenderloin steak with rice finally. That was cooked rare perfectly and hat a spicy kick to it that worked. Dessert was just green tea ice cream and petite fours. Was ok. At the end they apologized for the slow/lacking service and gave the dessert free of charge but quite frankly , it shouldn't have been that bad. The service needs to improve. Zuma will stay number 1 by miles in my book. read more

save your pennies and savour the delights that be fusion of japanese and south american cuisine. i will never forget the dessert i had like a sophisticated spring role with warm liquid chocolate that oozed from it. read more

This is the place to impress. And if one can afford the stratospheric prices, this place is well worth the expense. Nobu has the reputation as one of the premier sushi restaurants in the world and one of the biggest celeb hangouts. I went there with friends on a Fri. night. Though we spotted no known celebrities, we all thought its reputation is well justified. Everything from the sushi to sashimi to the rolls were beyond excellent, they were dreamy. That said, i continue to dream about this place and hope to return one day soon. read more

While my fav nobu is in Malibu, California (USA) because of the amazing view and for the fact that it's brand new...this Nobu in London is the coolest. Awesome lounge! The place to be, like they say in the UK; super posh! Food is always awesome anywhere you go in the world since it's pretty standard that all nobus are the same menu etc. but what sets this one apart from others is the awesome service and cool crowd at the bar :) most def worthy of a visit! read more

Had better from Nobu, but was fine since we got in at the last minute. There has got to be better sushi in London and this was only slightly better than Yo Sushi. Really too bad as i have had fabulous sushi at Nobu in Atlantis. The loud atmosphere made it almost impossible to talk with my friends, which helped make the experience mediocre. read more

Nobu is a place to be seen at - high heels, short dresses, expensive drinks and good sushi. Don't go in jeans and sneakers, you'll feel out of place. As for the food, we tried some of the sushi (the yellowtail was fantastic) and the tempura (eggplant was ok, shitake mushroom, not so much). It was a fancy version of a tempura at other Japanese restaurants. We also tried the set dinners - my husband enjoyed his teriyaki salmon while I opted for the chicken in wasabi pepper sauce, which I was told was spicy. But instead, it was rather bland, for my liking, and left me wishing that I had ordered either more of the yellowtail sushi or the salmon like my husband. For dessert, we had the chocolate fondant with green tea ice-cream. The cake was good, but I would have preferred normal vanilla ice-cream instead. As we were celebrating my birthday, the chef did do a personalized "happy birthday" in icing around the plate... Most others were eating the set tasting menu and perhaps that's the way to go. But at £80-95 a person, it better be a super special dinner! All in all, it was a fun experience and I'd probably go back for more of the sushi... read more

Another outstanding meal at Nobu. Service was a little iffy while dining- off night I assume. Sablefish always a standout, as is the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño and crispy rice and spicy tuna. Worth a stop in any city that Nobu operates read more

Melanie and I where in London for the weekend and found Nobu two buildings down from the Holiday Inn we were staying at. We decided to do the 5 course meal which ended up being very pricey but it gave us a range of their most popular dishes. Yes the black cod was so tasty! the service was great and they accepted American Express. They kept shouting when new customers came so it got annoying after a few times. The place is a bit dark and the sit you really close to the neighboring diners that you have to whisper if it's a private conversation. I hear there are some Nobu chains in the US so i will have to try and compare. read more

Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno and OKUSETSU DAI-GINGO YK 40 pair well.

Part of the Nobu chain in NYC, Vegas, etc. Good food, menu pretty expansive, but $$$. Service a bit spotty during parts of our dining experience. read more

This is exactly the same as the other Nobus but twice as expensive because you are in London and there is nowhere else to eat. The fact that it is in London and not worse than the NY and LA locations merits at least four stars. read more

I don't go often (it's very expensive) but when I do I go all out and it's worth it. Nobu is about quality over quantity. I've never tasted better sashimi and the black cod is incredible. Great service is the icing on the cake. read more

Problably one of the most tasties japanese food i've tried on the city! Fancy place, attended by cool people. Treatment could be pretty better, and after a deadline by the night, when the house is crowded, the hostess just turn on the "i dont give a *" botton! read more

Nobu is a wonderful restaurant with great, interesting sushi and a varied menu. The facilities are very nice and the staff provide great service. The only reason this location is not getting five stars from me is that it was just too noisy. We literally could not hear people sitting even next to us. Part of this is there were some noisy people there last night, but another part is the design of the dining room itself. Hard surfaces everywhere - nothing to absorb the noise. Sad to see great food artistry drowned by the inability to enjoy it. read more

My friend and I were visiting London and decided to try a trendy place like Nobu since I love the one in South Beach not so much Malibu. We made our reservations online got a confirmation call the day before which was great. As we arrived we were greeted at the door checked coats in waited for no more than 15 minutes which is a good time to check out the bar and have a drink. The staff were very nice and friendly. The place is very stylish, great crowd amazing food. Price was as it is at any upscale sushi restaurant, you get what you pay for. It was our last night in London and we got a great experience. Highly Recommended read more

Not my favorite nobu . Tried it three times and I have a problem with the waiters ( I hate when it happens I am not eating for free please do your job or go work at a fast food) . The park lane one is better and ohhhhh man I miss nobu Malibu . read more

Was taken here for a meal before Christmas and as usual it was awesome. The food is simply stunning and the service incredibly attentive. The sashimi selection and beef tataki were amazing. I would go more often if I could afford it! The only thing I would say is we were at a table that was a little tucked away from the main area so the atmosphere was a little quiet, however this did not hamper our experience at all! read more

Great drinks service at the bar, otherwise totally unimpressed service wise. Having been to Nobu in three other locations in the states and Matsuhisa on many occasions, with the reputation behind them and the prices on the menu I expect more. I've had better service at a pub eating bangers, beans & mash. The menu and quality of food was consistent with other Nobus (not my favorite Japanese but also didn't choose the restaurant). However, with the name Nobu, the address, the decor and the attitude I expect better service. read more

This is the trendier sibling to the Nobu at the Metropolitan. It's more clubby and chic at night, offering good people-watching opportunities in the evening. But I prefer Nobu at the Met. The food is comparable but the Met ambiance is just so much more relaxed and less poseur. And the real celebs know this, anyway, so you're going to find them at the Met branch and not the Berkeley one. Ironically, as I write this, I just had lunch there last week with Noami Campbell sitting at the next table. Which is even more bizarre, given that she was sitting at the table next to me a few nights prior to that when I was eating at China Tang... go figure.... not that she's a gourmet tastemaker but we do seem to like to eat the same things ;) read more

Went to Nobu for lunch with my colleagues our boss was buying :) The food was amazing, most of us got the Bento Nobu box. I ordered the Wagyu Rump with Anti- Cucho Sauce. Everything tasted amazing from the tampura to the salad to my amazing Wagyu Rump. The service was very personal and gave us great attention. Described all the dishes to us and a bit more when there were questions. The setting upstairs for lunch is very comfortable but the place was packed so I advice you to book in advance. Obviously for dinner thats a must because I know from experience you can hardly get a table for dinner unless a week in advance. I rarely give 5 starts how ever this place with just the flavors of their food I give them all 5 stars. read more

Nobu is a must when in London - especially in Mayfair. Get a reservation, save your pennies and come enjoy this place. Of course, know what you're getting yourself into (I say this a lot): it's busy, loud, trendy and rather expensive... but it's fun and the food is delicious. I'm a fan - and definitely over the other Nobus in London. Get a drink at the bar first then sit down and order sushi, but also order some of the hot entrees. The black miso cod is a must, and the sea bass is a nice add-on. Ask the waiter about fresh specials - the fish is all very fresh but they usually have specials which shouldn't be missed! Have fun here - I miss it! read more

The food here is astonishingly good. Service is average at best but who cares when the food is this good. We were here for lunch on Friday and had 5 pieces of Salmon sashimi with wasabi and soy sauce to start. It was great qualify fish. The main course dishes came at intervals after that, which worked quite well as if they had all arrived at the same time it would have been too hard to choose what to have first. I don't know exactly what we had as we let the clients choose, but first up was a mushroom based dish in a sauce, I couldn't say what else was in it but I've never enjoyed mushrooms on their own more. We also had lobster with asparagus, prawn with asparagus, pork belly and wagyu beef. All great but the pork belly was utter genius, melt in the mouth doesn't do it sufficient justice. I've had the black cod here before and that's the only other thing I remember coming close to the pork belly. Fuji apple crumble came with peanut in the crumble mix and with hazelnut ice cream. It was very good but I think my taste buds had already been over-excited by that point read more

Always an amazing experience at Nobu but especially this one! Came here on Halloween and the place was creatively decorated. We sat upstairs and had amazing service. The seating was a little odd because it seems that they try to stuff a bunch of tiny tables in one spot. The drinks are always to die for as is the desert. This location is literally in the heart of Mayfair and the crowd is pretty good. I would definitely return, seems like the only issue is that they try to stuff you in like a can of sardines! read more

What could be better than having a trendy and first class restaurant serving excellent Japanese cuisine? Well this is it!

Had dinner here last Tuesday (Dec 2,2014)and what a disappointment it was. First off, the bill for the two of us was $203.00. I don't drink and my partner had one glass of wine.Waiter was inattentive and bordered on being rude.Decor is tired.Food was just so-so.Certainly get better here in Northern New Jersey. Just another tourist trap.Mad at ourselves for ever going there. read more

The bar on the ground floor looks good but we were not impressed with the service. On a quiet Monday evening, it took forever to get any drinks (we could have squeezed in another two rounds in the time we were there. think of the lost earnings!), the champagne was not chilled and the sushi was not great. read more

Great service, amazing food! Went there the day we arrived to London. Our server was fantastic and she was very knowledgeable and recommended dishes that were suitable to my dietary requirements. The only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is because of the atmosphere - we sat next a a group with few kids behaving badly. Even my child thought it was too much!! read more

Nobu is just about every poker player's go to spot for sushi so over the course of the past 20 times I've been I have a list of plates I usually order (plus a few new ones). There are two Nobu locations in London. The one on Berkeley St. is the newer trendy one. The other one is usually used for business meetings and is more family friendly. Drinks: Kaffir Lime & Lychee Martini Appetizers: Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno new style white fish (I think this was it) - not as good as the yellowtail, but if you want something different its a nice change Main Courses (Usually just eat everything family style): Black Cod with Miso I don't know the name, but it was steak with mushrooms (was soooooo good, steak melted in my mouth) Sushi: Toro (O-toro is the best) Dessert: Chocolate bento box - like a chocolate lava cake and green tea ice cream Mochi - ice cream wrapped in a gummy layer (made of rice I think) I honestly wouldn't try sushi anywhere else while in London. Nobu = nuts www.anitaeat.com read more

Words can't describe this restaurant. Get the lobster salad, raw beef seared toro with yuzo miso & jalapeno salsa, chef's selection of sushi and sashimi (ask for additional yellowtail) and skip the dessert. Instead enjoy another cocktail. Yummy! read more

At Nobu, the food is always excellent. You need to book a long time in advance. The only complaint is that the prices are too high taking into account the variety you have in the area. read more

My favourite restaurant along with the Nobu on Park Lane. This one is slightly easier to get into though. We have tried Nobu on Park Lane a few times only to be told it was fully booked but that we should try Nobu Berkley and yes each time we've been able to get a table. You still have to book way in advance though. Fantastic food every time. The black cod with miso is an absolute must for first timers. We get it every time we visit and it is just a delicious-melt-in-your-mouth-make-your-tastebuds-tingle experience. A nice buzzy bar on the ground floor too. Yes it is expensive but worth it in my opinion - fabulous food, gorgeous decor, great atmosphere, attentive service and a few famous faces thrown in - a good night out all round. read more

Been here many times and the one on Park Lane, prefer the the second location, this Berkeley location has become more of the show-off spot for wanna-bes. The food is always great, they do rotate the menu, not very often or a large proportion of it but at least they try. pleasant atmosphere with waiters with great manners and experiences. Food is always fresh, the miso black cod is one of my favorites! It's Nobu and it's located in mayfair obviously it's not on the cheap and cheerful side, but it's a great place for a fancy night out dinner. read more

Perfect for a special occasion, every dish I've tried has been delicious. There's something for everyone - the meat is as wonderful as the sushi and fish. And this isn't just about the food, the service is exceptional and it has a great atmosphere too. read more

I wanted to try really good asian cuisine so when I was in London I had to go to Nobu! The place is quite dark, it was packed and tables were very close, I could hear other couple conversation- not very intimate and we were told when making reservation that we will have 2 hours to eat- it doesnt sound very nice. Except that the service was great, very polite waiter. The food was great too, I had very tasty artichoke salad and sushi with st jacques. My boyfriend had chicken in teriyaki sauce with some really good mushrooms. For dessert we had chocolate bento box, lollipops and delicious ice cream mochi. Overall it was beautifully presented and delicious food. read more

Great place for a dinner or catch up. It was rather pricey but the food was amazing so I guess you get what you pay for! The Miso Cod and Tuna were my favourites, so I would recommend these! The bar downstairs was nice to relax in till our table was ready and the cocktails are delicious! I wouldn't hesitate to come here again, but only for a special occasion. read more
