Enjoyable Experience

by filops

Nobu is located within the Shore Club which is a beautiful hotel. The restaurant itself is plain in its decor and we were seated at an awkward table for 4, but the food was great. I agree with previous comments that you can get good sushi for less but the cooked dishes really were delicious. I highly recommend the lychee martinis. Overall, we had a great experience. Also, a good idea to stay for cocktails at the Shore Club's garden and pool area after dinner.

• Pros: Food, Lychee Martini
• Cons: None

LOVE THIS PLACE

by shoegirl1982

I love Nobu in NYC so was excited to try it in Miami. The cod is the most amazing dish ever. The sushi is ok but the cooked dishes and special dishes are much better. I will be back soon.

GREAT FOOD... AND PRICES... :(

by mikarpanen

THE ONLY NOBU I TRIED IS IN ARMANI NOBU... THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT LIKE THE NOBU IN MIAMI. THE PORTIONS ARE MORE LITTLE HERE AND THE PRICES... ARE INCREDIBLE HIGHER IN MIAMI. OK, YOU HAVE AN EXCELLET AMBIENCE (MAYBE THE TABLES TOO NEAR), INCREDIBLE AND FRESH FOOD AND EXCELLENT SERVICE. BUT I THINK THE PRICES ARE A LITTLE BIT HIGH. BUT IT'S A PLACE TO GO!

• Pros: YOU'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FOOD!
• Cons: HIGH PRICES AND ALWAYS FULL!

Worst experience from the minute we walked in

by gabolla

I have been to Nobu in New York and was it was amazing. Just what I expected. Last Sunday we went to Nobu expecting the same we had experience in New York. We could not have been more disappointed. The hostess was rude and told us the kitchen would close at 11 we would get seated at 10:45 and had to order immediately. The service couldn't have been any worse. The waiter forgot something we order and blamed it on me saying we had discussed the dish but I never actually ordered it. It all just went downhill from there. The quality of the food was mediocre. Will never go back again. I work in the industry, so I know what I'm talking about.

• Pros: none
• Cons: everything

This eclectic neo-Japanese restaurant is a scene to be seen, but the real focus is the food.

In Short
Nobu is hipper than your average sushi bar. There's no sign on the hotel where it resides, no sign on the restaurant, no way to find it without asking. Inside, Nobu is spare, and the focus is definitely on the food. Both flavors and prices can take your breath away. With the best dishes--slabs of exquisitely fresh yellowtail with jalapeno and citrus ponzu or grilled salmon smeared with chili paste.

Great Sushi, Awesome Food!

by fll411

Been here more times then I can remember, and its always good. Nobu is the best Sushi place around (and theres alot of them). They use the best and most fresh ingredients available. The sushi is always awesome and the creamy spicy shrimp are great. Although it gets noisy its definetly one of the best Sushi places around, and presented in a great setting (The Shore Club).

• Pros: Great Sushi, Great Location
• Cons: Expensive Valet Parking

Average Sushi

by malee4720

I don't know what everyone else ate to call this restaurant one of the best, but the night I went, the sushi was mediocre. We ordered a few of their specials : one being a great dish of yellowtail with jalepeno and a special Nobu sauce. What we saw were slabs of yellowtail with one jalepeno on top. NOT IMPRESSIVE. We ordered a bunch of rolls and sashimi. Maybe Mr. Nobu was gone for the night but the sushi was average.

• Pros: no wait, nice staff
• Cons: overpriced, loud, crowded

"Showtime Sushi."

by bigtimela

The sushi was without question, the finest I've had in America. It comes very close to the kind I had in Japan a year ago, but this one is much closer to the house. I could spare the airline ticket now for good thankfully. Everything about the experience was magnificent. Nobu has definitely commanded my undivided attention for its forte of food. The details, the service, and the ambiance were right on target as highly expected. Upon arrival, the manager greeted me and my group at the entrance and was very gracious about every possible detail of my evening at the restaurant. The clientele were classy and respectful as well, outside of the occasional on-lookers. Sushi is a delicacy and should be served in no other fashion than the manner that Nobu masterfully presents. There would be no justice on earth if not solely stated as true "Showtime Sushi." -L.A.

• Pros: Everything.
• Cons: None.
