    NOBU My sister from Santa Monica visited Me and we chose NOBU at the historical landmark Del Coronado Hotel as among the restaurants to celebrate my month long birthday. I've been in San Diego over a couple years, and this is one of many restaurants that seemed to have followed me lol My favorite Nobu restaurant is in Malibu, which is on Pacific Coast Highway and is on the beach with unobstructed views of the beach and ocean. This Nobu is part of the Del Coronado Hotel and while it has beach access, the beach views are a bit too distance. The menu is extensive which features cold, hold and signature selections. Since we were familiar with the menu, we rapidly fired ordered are favs: spicy edamame, iced green teas, Espresso martinis, spicy edamame, yellowtail jalapeno rolls and carpaccio, salmon Tiradito, blue crab hand rolls, lobster mini tacos, rock shrimp and of course the miso black cod! On both occasions the Wagyu steaks were not available and was a major disappointment. Service from the hostess server and manager was all good but needed improvement considering NOBU is considered among the top tier restaurants and is $$$$ Everything tasted fantastic. Would be better if EVERY dish on the menu was available and was more artfully presented. Whether you're celebrating a birthday or not, everyday is worth celebrating, a must visit is NOBU

    I've been here to this somewhat newer location a few times, and while everything wasn't always perfect in the beginning, management was attentive/responsive and ensured that necessary changes were made and I've have left happy. I love the outdoor vibe with the ocean view. The food is consistent with the Nobu experience with my go to being the Yellowtail Jalapeño and a the crab roll with the soy paper on the outside. I recently celebrated an event there and both Manuel and Lindsey did their best to ensure the night was as special as intended. Hats off to the attention detail and hospitality shown. I'll see you all soon to soak up the sun, smell the ocean breeze, and sip on some Lychee Martinis!

    Met up with my kids at Nobu Del Coronado. My son had never been so we wanted him to try it. Parking: Free Parking was tough , but the kids told me to park like I'm "going to the beach". (Go straight when pulling in after the light, don't turn right to the hotel driveway) After a couple of minutes of driving around, we landed a spot. Nobu offers pretty pricey Self Parking ($39 for first 2 hours + $17 each additional hour) OR Valet ($49 for first 2 hours + $17 each additional hour) We were there 3 hours ... but we parked for free. Ambiance & Service were amazing. The staff were very kind & pleasant. Our server even had us laughing. Very sweet people. Pros: - Food is amazing, fresh, great quality, perfect flavors. - Everything we ordered is my favorite omg, lol . Chefs kiss . Not sure what else to say about that. - beautiful restaurant, we sat outside & our shade cover was perfect - location! Right on a beautiful beach - ambiance was chill , which I sometimes need Cons: - free parking is tough OR parking can be expensive - I say that prices are, we spent $400 & I was still hungry - some prices aren't listed. The $50 Coronado Roll surprised us. The price wasn't on the menu. It was good but I wouldn't have ordered if I knew it was $50

    I can always expect excellent food at Nobu but what makes this location extra special is the location. Settled in the promenade of Hotel Del, it was a beautiful evening enjoying the sunset and views in such a beautiful location. Service was excellent with service staff attentive to every request and detail. I must mention how many tables had children and not once did it delay/distract the team. This is always a memorable aspect to me, since we're a family that goes everywhere with children. We're Looking forward to our next visit!

    Spicy Scallop Hand Roll

    5-Star Review: Nobu del Coronado My wife and I had an outstanding lunch at Nobu del Coronado during a recent stay at the Hotel del Coronado to celebrate our anniversary and it more than lived up to the hype. We shared the house special roll which is essentially an inside-out rainbow roll and it was excellent...! Fresh, high-quality fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and the real wasabi (not the fake green paste) served with each roll made a noticeable difference. The pickled ginger on the side was a nice touch. I ordered the spicy scallop hand roll, which had great flavor and just the right amount of heat. We also split the Karaage chicken, which was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and came with a tasty dipping sauce and lime wedge. The black cod miso was the star of the meal. It arrived beautifully presented on a banana leaf with a ginger spear that wasn't just decorative, it actually helped cleanse the palate between bites. The fish was buttery, the miso glaze was perfectly caramelized, and every bite was memorable. Service was exceptional from start to finish; attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. The views of the property and the Pacific Ocean added to the experience and made the afternoon really feel special. If you're looking for top-tier Japanese cuisine with ocean views in Coronado, Nobu is well worth it. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    Visit June 2026: Squid Pasta. Incredibly tender squid
    Jeff R.

    Visit June 2026 This visit was born out of documentary on Chef Nobu my wife watched on our flight to Japan this Spring lol. Apparently this site is recently opened and with all of his properties Chef Nobu came to oversee the grand opening a few months ago. Came here for early Father's Day and to celebrate one of my kid's MS graduation. Located on the boardwalk with outdoor seating and bar that blends into an open air restaurant, you don't get a view of the ocean really but it's nice and fresh air. It's simple but classy looking inside. Nothing ornate. Food was definitely on the $$$$ end but the quality was excellent. Our server, Adil along with his assistant Matthew, were excellent and attentive. They both gave personal recommendations which I appreciate. Food came spaced out in courses per Adil's suggestion. Two starters, Crispy Rice Tuna and a special sashimi. This was followed up by two hot plates; squid pasta (literally slices of squid not pasta) and Wagyu gyoza. Then this was followed up by sushi rolls: softshell crab, negi toro, the Coronado roll and salmon avocado. Dinner tasted incredible with lovely presentations. For dessert, we ordered the Bento Box (matcha gelato and a chocolate cake) and Adil also gave my daughter a complimentary mochi ice cream dessert for her graduation. Drinks: I got the Nobu Old Fashioned which used Michter's 101. Really good and strong. The graduate got a martini and her sister got sake. This was a great celebratory meal and everyone had a great time.

    Nobu Maui is definitely 5 stars but 4 for the Coronado location. First, the restaurant doesn't have the upscale feel. They squeezed in 4 tables at what could have been the entrance with 2 tables literally blocking the path up the steps to enter the restaurant. Food is good but sushi quality is a bit below the Maui location. Drinks and service are good. Overall a good meal.

    Great food. Great service. The ambience was chill and engaging. There was a lot of movement going on but still calm. I'd recommend folks to try the sushi options and lobster tempura! Plus the spicy seafood soup.

    Mushroom soup

    Sometimes everything aligns just right--setting, service, flavors, and occasion--and you find yourself in the middle of a truly unforgettable meal. That's exactly how I would describe our 40th anniversary dinner at Nobu Coronado, nestled within the iconic Hotel del Coronado. The Del was glowing for the holidays: Wizard of Oz-themed Christmas trees, the beachfront ice rink shimmering at sunset, festive shops, and a buzz of energy throughout the property. All of it was made even more impressive by the hotel's beautifully completed multi-year restoration, which has elevated an already legendary destination to a new level of brilliance. We arrived for our 6:00 p.m. reservation and were promptly seated, warmly welcomed, and wished a happy anniversary--an early sign of the thoughtful, polished service that would carry us through the evening. The staff struck that perfect Nobu balance: attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without pretense, and genuinely warm. We began with miso soup, mushroom soup, and the iconic Yellowtail Jalapeño. The miso soup was comforting and refined, with silky tofu and a clean, savory depth. The mushroom soup was equally satisfying--earthy, aromatic, and layered with a variety of mushrooms that gave it real character. Then came the Yellowtail Jalapeño, a dish that has achieved near-legendary status across Nobu locations worldwide--and for good reason. Paper-thin slices of pristine yellowtail were topped with garlic paste, razor-thin jalapeño, and fresh cilantro, all swimming in that signature citrusy yuzu soy sauce. Bright, balanced, and addictive. Robin cleverly added some of the yuzu sauce to her mushroom soup, instantly elevating it to a whole new level--chef's kiss. For our mains, we shared the Miso Black Cod and the Lamb Anticucho, a pairing that showcased Nobu's mastery of both seafood and bold, global flavors. The Lamb Anticucho was outstanding: tender, succulent lamb coated in a richly spiced, savory-spicy marinade with hints of miso, garlic, rosemary, and herbs. Deeply flavorful without being heavy, it delivered complexity and comfort in equal measure. The Miso Black Cod--Nobu's most famous dish--fully lived up to its reputation. Perfectly glazed, delicately caramelized, and impossibly tender, it practically melted on the fork. The black cod's natural richness was enhanced by the umami-packed marinade of white miso, sake, mirin, and sugar, creating a dish that's both elegant and deeply satisfying. It's easy to see why people rave about it; this is a signature for a reason. We closed the evening with hot tea and a beautifully presented Yuzu White Chocolate Cheesecake--an ideal anniversary dessert. Bright, creamy, and balanced, the citrusy yuzu cut through the richness of the white chocolate, while the accompanying citrus sorbet, meringue, and delicate shortbread cookies added texture and contrast. It was light, refreshing, and memorable--just like the evening itself. From the breathtaking setting to the impeccable service and flawlessly executed dishes, Nobu Coronado delivered a dining experience worthy of both the occasion and the legendary Nobu name. A perfect meal, in an unbelievable location, marking a milestone we'll always remember.

    Was able to have an amazing lunch here with the hubs and his coworker! We shared so many of the dishes! I Had a pineapple martini we had sashimi, mushrooms, chicken and edamame! Everything was superb. The service was efficient and our waiter explained all dishes to me since it was my first time there. The ambiance there is beyond amazing right on the Coronado boardwalk with views of the ocean and ice skating rink! Pretty sure we will be back!

    We dined at Nobu as party of 4 for a graduation celebration. Our reservation was at 6:30 pm, but we arrived early at 6 and were able to be seated right away. Our server, Ke'Ante, was absolutely amazing. While there wasn't a true omakase option on the menu, he helped us curate our menu for the evening. Everything was delicious, and we really loved every dish.

    Enjoyed a little bite to eat with some good drinks. We were lucky to get seats at the bar. Service was great. View was amazing. You can never go wrong being near the beach.

Cant remember what they're all called but they were all good and would 20/10 order them again. Ambiance was also wonderful! But what made this place even better was the staff. We were promptly sat down upon arriving. Servers frequently checked on us and were all so nice. But what really stood out was their empathy. Like i said, my son knocked out. He's 5. He woke up as we were leaving. by the time we figured out what was really upsetting him (he wanted to stay there and eat and wanted the table we were on), we have gotten out of our table and obviously the table was then cleaned for the next guests. So basically my lil one cried, took him to the bathroom bec unfortunately we dont get everything we want just bec we cry. So we went into the bathroom for him to cry his feelings out and be ready to get out. Was he loud? Absolutely. Was i embarrassed? Yes. But it was a lesson he needed to learn and i didnt want my discomfort to hinder that. (Mind you the bathroom was in the middle of the stairs lol midway the lower and the upper floor). So was i ashamed to get out? Yes. But the staff, so empathetic. So nice about it. Told me i didnt need to apologize and that they get it. And that made me feel better as a mama who walked out of there carrying a 5 year old out their door. No judgy stares. Just smiles and understanding eyes.

My first impression of the restaurant was, it was beautiful restaurant with a counter that seats 14. First off, Chef Maru and his entire staff was absolutely fantastic and professional. They were all attentive on refilling water and tea. Chef Maru himself was absolutely awesome, he explained each course that was served. Which was the right way to do it. Omakase: Omakase 20 pieces at $180. It's a great price, but in my head there had to be a catch to it. The starter and appetizer started out strong. Everything (fish) were all fresh, so when the nigiri course started that's when everything went south. The nigiri that chef served was really small and it's not your standard size nigiri .There's barley any shari ( sushi rice) and fish. If felt like I was sampling each nigiri. You can't really enjoy it when it's that small.The only highlight was the Uni from San Diego. That felt like a month full, other than that everything just felt like a tease. Don't let my photos fool you, it was all zoomed in. My wife and I had many omakase before and lelf happy and satisfied. This was the first time that we ever left after an omakase meal and was still hungry and a little disappointed. I would love to give Sushi Maru more stars but I just can't after this vist.

A normal meal. A casual San Diego ramen situation. Incorrect. What actually happened was that my child experienced a culinary event so powerful it rearranged her internal belief system. She took one bite and immediately declared it her "favorite meal ever" and "the best sushi on earth," which is impressive because those are two separate categories of food, but honestly I respect the conviction. At that moment, she became a tiny ramen prophet. A noodle evangelist. A sushi sommelier of chaos. I was no longer her father. I was merely the adult with a wallet and transportation. The ramen was fantastic. The sushi was fresh. The whole place had that magical "we actually care about what we are doing" energy, which is increasingly rare in a world held together by parking apps and spiritual fatigue. Then, as if the first visit had not already altered the timeline, my daughter made me go back the next day. Not requested. Not suggested. Made. There was no negotiation. She had tasted the mountain and demanded we return to the temple. So we did. And it was still excellent. BESHOCK is now officially part of our family lore. Somewhere between "remember that time we saw the ocean" and "remember when your daughter discovered ramen and briefly became a food critic possessed by a joyful sea dragon." Highly recommend. Bring your children only if you are emotionally prepared for them to ask to come back immediately.

First, street parking only but don't let that deter you from coming coz every inch or foot that you spend walking to this place is all worth it. Secondly, love the ambiance. Reminds me a lot of those ikazaya pubs in Japan but a little more chic and modern. They have bar seating of about 10 and 6-8 tables inside. But they also have outdoor seating. So I came at exactly 11 am and I was the second guest and they sat me at the bar. By 11:30 am, the entire resto was full, not granting it was a Saturday morning but people prolly got smart to come here early before the lunch crowd gets bigger. So for the food, I had to order their Hayachi Omurice and Chef Soichi's Chicken karage and both were BOMB! 11/10 each! Love the flavor of the rice and nice touch of thin slices of meat and the egg was perfectly made. I just wished there were heapings of those egg. The sauce was slightly tangy but love the flavor. The other star of my meal was the karage. Prolly the Top 2 karage I've had. I liked how they sliced in lengthwise and there not too much coating. And it wasn't oily and very juicy inside. Well seasoned and it came with lemon wedges and kewpie mayo. All I did was sprinkle some Nanami Togarashi for an added umami flavor. Overall, this should be on your top 10 restos in San Diego. Service was excellent, the servers were all friendly and always smiles!! Kudos to you guys!! I'll be back for sure!!

    Ikiru Sushi is such a hidden gem. It's a small, intimate spot with only a handful of tables, but I…read morelove sitting at the sushi bar, it makes the whole meal feel like a traditional, authentic sushi experience rather than just going out to dinner. The quality of the fish here is absolutely exceptional easily some of the best sushi I've had anywhere!!! You can tell they take an incredible amount of pride in what they serve. The presentation, preparation, and quality of the ingredients truly feel like an art. The otoro is unreal. It literally melts in your mouth and is worth whatever the market price is that day. The richness, marbling, texture, and freshness are just perfection. The tuna overall is phenomenal, and the sweet shrimp is another favorite, the presentation alone is beautiful, and the flavor is even better. Honestly, you really can't go wrong with anything you order here. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. If you genuinely appreciate high-quality, traditional sushi and exceptional fish, Ikiru is an absolute must in San Diego.

The mixted tempura were very hot, crispy and delicious. Their sushi and rolls were fresh and delicious with a generous portion.
