Nobu Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
The service was on point, i went there for my birthday and
The service was on point, i went there for my birthday and had a really great time. The food was good i will say i had a rough piece of meat but the rest were soft, the soft crab roll was one of my favorites and I would recommend ordering the lobster ceviche!
Highly recommend this spot.
Service and food, drinks and service: top notch. Be prepared to pay a pretty penny.
Awful. Awful, Awful!! Poor service cold food!! Even if you order HOT dishes.
This restaurant offers terrible service!! They have a time limit on tables but they don’t serve you so you can enjoy your meal. My husband who ordered a wagyu steak didn’t get his steak until almost an hour and a half after he ordered it. We all had to eat our dinner separately not together!!! Nobu was our waiter and he was terrible!! Won’t EVER return to this restaurant!!
This was my first time going to Nobu without a reservation.
I made sure to show up as soon as they opened to snag a table for 8 people. The ambiance was romantic and it was beautiful inside. Let's talk about the food. The yellowtail jalapeño was sliced incredibly thin which is a positive for soaking up the sauce but for for a dish that's almost 25 dollar you would expect there to be more than 6 thin slices of yellowtail. The uni pasta was a bit over cooked but the uni flavor was definitely there unlike other uni pastas I've had. The spicy tuna crispy rice was not what I was expecting but the rice was fried to perfection. Everything was cooked well but the flavors were a bit lacking. The popcorn shrimp is definitely a crowd favorite since we ordered two. I would say it's the best thing we had. I can't say that this is the best sushi or Japanese fusion I've had but it's definitely still good quality and as for the price it's pretty steep but I would like to emphasize that you are paying for amazing service and an beautiful interior ambiance. In addition, Nobu has given me the best service I have ever received. They were extremely attentive, answered all our questions, and gave amazing recommendation.
This review is for the dining experience my husband and I
This review is for the dining experience my husband and I had on September 15, 2023. My husband and I went to Nobu to celebrate his birthday. (which was never acknowledged even though we mentioned it at the time of reserving). We LOVE Nobu, and have eaten at several locations. However, this was the first time we've tried the Nobu in Los Angeles. And although the food was tasty, it wasn't as good as other locations. The tempura vegetables were a little too soggy and too greasy. My husband started with the shrimp tempura sushi, which he loved. For his main, he ordered the Black Cod Miso, which is his go-to and he said it was delicious, but unfortunately it had a few too many pin bones in it. Which is really sad! We also ordered the Spinach salad with dry miso, which is our favorite, but there was something odd tasting about this one. It just didn't taste the same. The flavors were off. I ordered the beef toban yaki, unfortunately I wasn't able to finish it because the waiter accidentally dropped a plate and it broke right by my foot, leaving shards all over me. Thankfully I wasn't cut, but since shards flew everywhere I wasn't able to finish my meal. As you can imagine, I was a bit shocked that happened. Especially when they kept asking the guy next to me if he was okay, meanwhile ignoring the fact that the plate shards were all over my foot and some even flew on my hair and shoulder! I ran to the bathroom to carefully wipe off the shards and make sure I wasn't cut. Once I came back to my seat, the manager and server were awesome about what had happened! They comped the meal, re-fired a new one to go, and even gave us dessert. The service and wait staff were awesome! We know accidents happen and they did exactly what a restaurant should do in those situations. I probably won't go back to this location because the food isn't up to par as the others, but, I was very pleased with how they handled the situation.
Delicious meal & every dish we ordered was superb.
Crispy tuna roll was the best. Wagyu & crispy shrimp was so good. Must try but make sure to make resy. Need to try the Malibu location too.
Vibey spot with good ambiance.
When busy, service is not great. Vegan options are ok, but nothing special beyond veggie rolls and veggies. Honorable mention - eggplant and lychee martini are both amazing.
Nobu lives up to its reputation and price tag through and
Nobu lives up to its reputation and price tag through and through. What was particularly special about this experience was the curated selections from our waiter. Rather than traditionally looking through the menu and hoping we liked our selections, he asked what we liked as well as allergies, diets, etc. and selected dishes based on that. Everything was decadent and impressive. I'm a seafood and sushi lover, so it takes a lot to surprise me. So, it was refreshing to be treated to a whole new experience. Also, the ambient was nice, a very upscale dining feel. Of course, just know to expect to pay a pretty penny for this treat.
The service was very good, but the food was ok no as I
The service was very good, but the food was ok no as I expected. Overall very expensive for 'ok' food
I was very pleased with the overall experience.
Given their reputation, I had high expectations. The location is hard to miss and tucked away. The valet is $17. We went on a Saturday night and, shockingly, it wasn't very busy. The host was super sweet and our waiter Zander was awesome; gave great recommendations. The food was fresh, full of flavor and came out hot. The drinks were also refreshing and not too sweet. The ambiance is very chill, definitely not like Malibu, but in a good way. It seems more intimate and less superficial. The meal was roughly $300 for everything.
Great Experience!
Yesterday we had our first experience of Chef “Nobu’s” cuisine on land. We had had it on Crystal Cruises in the past. It was a lovely experience. Service was superb. Prices are high, but that was expected. What was not so pleasant was one special we got that was more than double of the average dish price. Unfortunately it was not my favorite. The food quality was also excellent, although some of the flavor pairing was not to my taste. (I love both Japanese and Peruvian cuisine.) Truffle just doesn’t go well with raw fish! My favorites were the cucumber sunomono (on the edge of being just a tad too sweet) and the pistachio dessert. All in all it was a great experience.

Total let down, zero care from staff.
I am rating this Nobu with zero stars. An utter disgrace from management. Having dined at Nobu all over the world for 20 years last night has left me never wanting to return. Cold soup and edamame arrived after 1 hour. Having asked the server, chef and manager for our food we eventually decided to cut our loses and leave as we had no confidence that the food would ever arrive. When we complained it was like we’d insulted them. The most disappointing part of the experience was no one cared, no solutions offered and a manager content to let a long term customer walk out feeling totally let down. They need to have a long hard look at themselves, hubris at its worst.
Ripped us off by suggesting the waiter order for us
Food was very good but terribly expensive.... I made the mistake of taking the advise of the waiter to let him order the entire meal for us..... We agreed for he said 90% of his customers did this.... The bill came to over $1000 which was outrageous.... We were upsold big time by NOBU and the waiter.... Won't ever go back there.

Food was very good but waiter said that 90% of his customers let him order for the table... We agreed and the bill came to over $1000 and he brought out way to much food... He upselled us terribly... Will never go back to NOBU LA again with this type of tactic... Ripped us off!
My husband took me to celebrate my 41st bday and it was
My husband took me to celebrate my 41st bday and it was delicious. This was our first time and we weren't disappointed. I did my research and ordered things I saw as highly recommended. I loved the black cod miso and my husband loved the wagyu and the lobster tocos the best. Honestly everything was so good. Our waiter was Jacob and he was super nice and attentive which was great for a very busy Friday night. He answered our questions and had great's recommendations in how many plates to order and also drinks that matched our taste. The valet in front was $40 on a Friday night but we easily found parking across the street.
Fantastic experience, if you know what to order.
I'm going to start off with things that I would skip next time: the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, the Yellowtail Jalapeno, Toro Tartar with Caviar, Shishito Peppers. The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice is definitely not worth the price, the Toro Tartar was good but also not worth the price, the Yellowtail Jalapeno is a little too basic, and the Shishito Peppers were good too but nothing special. Things that I think are worth trying but probably wouldn't order again: Miso-Marinated Black Cod. Tasted good, but was not my favorite and was not extremely special to me. It was exactly as I expected. Things that I will definitely come back for: Albacore Sashimi with Truffle and Baby Artichoke, Yellowtail Carpaccio, Snapper Dry Miso, Salmon New Style, Salmon Yuzu Karashi Su Miso. Most of these seem to be chef specials and were brought out based on our server's recommendations, but I do see that other customers have also ordered these before. I loved all of the different kinds of sashimi and carpaccio that we tried. I think that all of these are worth a try because they tasted exceptional compared to the other dishes I listed in the beginning. Service was one of the best, of course. Lovely ambiance in their covered outdoor area. Nobu is definitely worth a visit if you follow your server's recommendations. I know they have some popular dishes, but some of them are overhyped, and you're better off sticking with their nigiri or sashimi.
Great food and ambiance Beautiful decoration Service was
Great food and ambiance Beautiful decoration Service was also perfect and valet was friendly
The service was impeccable.
Pea, DC, and Adrianne really made us feel settled and came by at a pace that allowed us to enjoy a dinner experience while not feeling neglected or overwhelmed. The staff were excellent!!!

Dinner reservations Sat 7:30p Valet parking High quality fish and steak. Would order the off menu salmon with mustard sauce again and the yuzu truffle butter steak. Would skip the spicy mayo shrimp and wagyu tacos (too small). Bread pudding was surprisingly fantastic! Don't skip dessert.

This restaurant has the most amazing food as well as atmosphere and ambiance! The staff is amazing and so helpful. Nobu is an experience and one you won't forget! Highly recommend!!
Came here for my birthday a few months ago.
We found street parking nearby. No need for valet. The food was good. The only item that was not good was the miso soup. Basic, easy, miso soup. It was bland. We tried the tempura, ribeye with crispy onion, 2 sushi rolls, dessert was a warm-delicious treat topped with ice cream. BANANA CARAMEL SOY TOBAN YAKI. (Order it). We tried 2 of their drinks. Which were delicious!! One was named after Nobu. So good!! It had a kiwi at the bottom. It was a little over $500 for two
It was just ok.
Food was ( Extremely over priced) Taste was good, but not a WOW factor. Too Dark, too crowded, too noisy. An over all good time, but I would not return for the food. I would just for the Ambience
creamy spicy crab, A5 wagyu, assortments of mushrooms, more
creamy spicy crab, A5 wagyu, assortments of mushrooms, more creamy seafood, ribeye, nigiri, and more. walking out the door with a certain sense of confidence and carefree, as if I was a frequent, I approached the aventador svr in valet (not mine). my stomach of no bound grew, along with my appetite. I survey the peasants across. its keeps growing. we summon the X7 (rented) to conclude, yet I understood it has only begun.
After years of not coming to Nobu in a while, I wanted to
After years of not coming to Nobu in a while, I wanted to surprise my partner with dinner here on valentines day. I did have to book this reservation weeks in advance but I was excited to share this experience. For this location in West Hollywood I would expect to pay for valet parking in front of the restaurant or come in early to circle around the busy streets for street parking. If you are waiting to be seated or for a reservation they do have a bar area where you can snag a couple drinks before dinner. The service was phenomenal and our server was upbeat, insightful and kind throughout our whole dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is what you expect from any upscale restaurant, with modern looks and dim lighting. The food and flavors from the various dishes is what makes nobu so popular. My favorites and must orders are the yellowtail jalapeno, blackened miso cod, and some Nigiri/sashimi but make sure to ask them for toppings! They topped our king salmon with this truffle oil that elevated it to the next level. Other things that are solid are the tacos which we got the wagyu ones and tuna ones. Just note these tacos are bite size but packed with flavor. They also had some great custom cocktails that are worth a try. Overall I spent like $250 (before tip) on a dinner for two which was delicious but quite frankly we were still hungry but had tried all the items we had wanted to. Nobu is definitely worth a try and a great dining experience just know that it wont come cheap.
Hard pass
The waiter was nice. That was the best part of the evening. The restaurant itself is underwhelming. Open floor with the sushi counter on one side. Two private party rooms closed off. Food was below average. Rolls were room temperature and bland. A blob of wasabi and ginger was the garnish. Fried okra was the best of the meal. The chicken teriyaki was a lukewarm chicken breast with a wing attached sitting in a pool of bottled teriyaki sauce. No rice, no garnish. I’ve had better at the mall food court. I think the restaurant probably goes all out for celebrities, but the average diner will be disappointed. The place lives on its over rated reputation. Even our concierge when we returned to the hotel said the place was not somewhere he’d recommend We had much better food elsewhere in LA.
Ruined experience, illogical management
Ridiculous, illogical servers and management that ruined the experience and ambiance. I ordered drinks and asked for their omakase (a $250 meal) and the server said that if my partner was not to “participate in the omakase as well” then the “experience would be ruined” and they couldn’t serve me it. I am a regular Nobu customer and have ordered it just for myself almost every time with no issue, as would be expected. Upon asking for a manager I asked what the problem with ordering it individually was, and she would NOT give me a straight answer at all, it was clear there was no actual issue. I asked if it was it the timing of the dishes or when we would finish, if it was a food temperature issue, many circumstances, and all she repeated was “it would ruin the experience if we served it to you.” She said she could “speak to the chef” and make “a modified version that is very similar,” it was clear to me at this point they were attempting a substitution upsell with their lack of explanations and ambiguous language. I felt so belittled by the staff trying to coerce me into believing this was their typical policy, and the hand-waving away of all my rebuttals to their illogical explanations of why this mysterious, enigmatic “experience” of ordering an eight course meal would be RUINED without my partner’s “participation .” Insulting and degrading. Dine at another Nobu.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
