Nobu

We were there at dinner with two friends last Saturday... the restaurant was very busy and the level of noise quite annoying. They should consider reducing the number of tables and adding sound-absorbing layers to the walls, windows and ceiling. Apart from this, food was great. They have an excellent list of wines and the level of service is quite hight. Again, a pity the high level of noise...

Went here recently for my birthday lunch. I am a huge sushi fan but have been to quite a few sushi restaurants all over the world and I know nobu is considered quite pricey so I'll be honest I was half expecting it to be a bit of a disappointment. Maybe one of those places you go once to try and don't go back because as nice as it is, there's others that are just as nice but cheaper. I have to say, I was wrong. The food was out of this world. We got a nice selection to try as many things as we could and absolutely everything we had was divine. I had the lychee crush alcohol free cocktail which was absolutely gorgeous. Food wise we had nigiri salmon, Crispy nori sushi cup with spicy tuna & salmon and avocado (these were my faves) Shrimp tempura maki & soft shell crab maki + Chicken skewers. Honestly if I could afford to I would eat there every day! The staff were very welcoming, helpful and attentive. They even brought out a little birthday treat for me at the end. We had a lovely table overlooking the park and it was a really hot sunny day so overall was a beautiful day out in London. Will definitely be back soon and highly recommend. We went theatre straight after and was loads of cabs outside (it's next to the Hilton so have a constant flow of mini cabs).

This place isn't easy to book as it's usially fully booked but once we were there we could understand why. We didn't go for many years and weren't disappointed. Attentive and no intrusive service, fresh and delicious food, a beautiful view of hyde Park to complete the whole experience. We can't wait to come back.

Oh, and great Nobu experience at Old Park Lane. The Nobu experience is slightly different than other Nobu experiences because the restaurant doesn’t have that polished feel that you find in a New York or city Nobu location. The atmosphere has a more cafe, lunch vibe. I would try other Nobu locations maybe at the Portman Square and compare the difference. Food has some slight variations from what you find in US locations such as the Salmon Karashi Su Miso which has ginger on top. Service is overall excellent. Flavio and Gabrielle were amazing.

So I went to Nobu London for an anniversary where I believe at the time they were doing a 7 or 8 course meal. I have to say the food was very good and surprisingly filling for how small the courses were - I guess they add up! 😅 They also had good alcoholic and non-alcoholic selection of cocktails and drinks for those that like to drink 🍹 The place looks beautiful, and it really sets a romantic and chilled vibe, I loved it. However, be prepared to pay for the experience - if I’m not mistaken everything together including drinks was about £400, but it was definitely worth the experience and the service was some of the best I’ve seen in London asian cuisine restaurants.
