Love their miso cod and sea bass (the fried one). They're both super soft and tender and both of them melt in your mouth. Love that they're so flavorful but not overly salty. Also really enjoy their yellowtail sushi. The fish was very fresh.

Delicious brunch but slight underwhelming. For $80 you get an all you can eat brunch. The sushi options are very limited. there were two different rolls on the buffet counter. There was two white fish options in a tuna and salmon sushi option. There was a Cold salad bar with shrimp, surfer, snow, crab, claws, and oysters and then the hot table had a really fatty brisket, shrimp and grits, bao buns, a Japanese curry and ribeye along with a few other bites. The brussel sprouts were my favorite option. The bloody Mary was meh and was not included. Our service was confusing. I wasn't sure who our actual server was. As a pastry chef, I found the dessert options to be lacking inspiration. I'm not sure I would return. 3.7/5

We had Nobu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner over a 3-day span and the food and service was great. We were told we couldn't customize the breakfast omelette which was interesting to hear, but that was the only issue. The ambiance is just as you'd expect from Nobu.

Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna*

Beautiful, modern spot for a refined and delicious dining experience. I took a coworker here to celebrate a big career milestone, and it was the perfect choice. Every dish is thoughtfully presented, and the service feels sophisticated . The crispy rice with tuna was a standout starter. The rice had the perfect balance of crispy and chewy and held the tuna beautifully. We also tried the mini tacos with lobster, fried fish, and salmon- each one packed with flavor. For entrées, we shared the black cod and tempura lobster, both delicate, well-executed, and full of flavor. We ended with the bento dessert box. The lava cake was rich and indulgent with a deep chocolate flavor. The matcha gelato leaned a bit earthy on its own, but paired with the chocolate, it balanced nicely. Excellent meal and service all around. Definitely a place I'd come back to for any occasion.

Well... I hate to say it, but believe the hype! across the board! We were greeted with professionalism and enthusiasm. There's coat and bag check. Beautiful restaurant. This is a place perfect for all dates (professional, romantic, or social). The servers were patient and polite! The menu is exquisite -- a nice mixture of flavors. The PIÑA MARTINI and LYCHEE MARTINI are a must-try/must-have. The salmon tartare with caviar is DELICIOUS together! As well as the Wagyu tacos, sea bass, and spicy garlic veggies.

We enjoyed Father's Day Sunday Brunch. The food was beautiful and delicious! The dining room is nice and the fresh-made rolls and carving stations were a great touch. We were given a 90-minute seating and I thought it was plenty of time to try everything. I do wish that drinks were included though. I understand that cocktails would be separate charge, but I found that not offering tea,coffee,juices and sodas in the base price disappointing. The music was good until we realized we'd heard the same Sade song three times lol.

Black Orchid Tea

During my stay at the Nobu hotel, I dined for both dinner and breakfast. For dinner, I sat at the bar and breakfast I sat at a high top. Ambiance: I was actually surprised at the overall vibe of the restaurant. I liked the minimalist, clean looking decor but was a little surprised at the loud music they had blasting over the speakers during dinner. Not mad at it, just surprised. Patrons ranged from casual to dressy which I thought was very welcoming! I believe breakfast had music playing also, lol. Service: Service was amazing and scarily fast. Wait times were extremely short for food and drinks, which was a plus. Jennifer, my bartender, was amazing. She made great cocktails and was very kind while working the bar. The guy who sat next to me also had a few drinks and said each and every one was a hit. I removed one star for this area, because at the end of service there was some sort of dispute between a few of the bartenders that was noticeable and heated and honestly loud enough for me to overhear. It made things feel awkward and shouldn't have been a disagreement done in front of patrons with the guy antagonizing the woman. My waiter at dinner was also very nice and he made great recommendations for me when I was being indecisive. Drinks: At dinner, I had a lychee & elderflower martini which was delicious and refreshing . Would highly recommend. For breakfast, I had the Black Orchid tea. I am not an avid tea drinker, but this to me was just okay. Nothing to write home about. Dinner: I had the yellowtail jalapeños which is a Nobu staple and the black cod with miso. Both were amazing. The fish was fresh, the flavors were vibrant. The star for me was definitely the cod, it quite literally melted in your mouth. Breakfast: I had the Hot Smoked Salmon Benedict which was very delicious. The salmon was tender, sweet, and Smokey. I definitely could've drank that remoulade sauce that it was in. Though pricey, I can't say I ate anything I disliked!

I've been wanting to try the Nobu brunch at Nobu for months, so we finally decided to come for a friend's birthday. I was sooo excited and really looking forward to it... just to say I left sooo disappointed. We got there around 12:30 and it was pretty packed. The place itself is beautiful and the service was actually great, no complaints there. But the food? It was just... blah. For $85 per person, I was expecting way more variety and better quality. The selection felt limited, and nothing on the hot food side really hit. The smoked brisket was sooo dry and tough. I kept waiting for something to wow me, and it just never happened. And don't even get me started on the sushi. I was MAD. It honestly tasted like grocery store sushi not what you expect when you hear "Nobu brunch." Maybe my expectations were too high because of all the food influencer hype, but this one just didn't live up to it for me. Definitely not worth the price in my opinion.

It's NOBU! Everything you would expect while dining at Nobu and it didn't disappoint! The ambience was nice and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and everything she recommended was spot on! The snow crab sushi roll was fantastic. As I looked over the menu, she mentioned the Specials of the Day. When I mentioned being pescatarian, the waitress mentioned a dish "not listed but on the extended menu." It was PHENOMENAL! It was a spicy seafood paella dish with lobster, shrimp, scallop and snow crab. It really was one the best I'd ever tasted!

If you're looking for an upscale, bougie dining experience with amazing vibes, this place delivers. The ambience is chic, and thoughtfully designed. The food was excellent, with beautiful presentation and flavors that really showcase the Japanese-Peruvian fusion. The bar area is also nice , and the cocktails were solid. Service was another highlight. The waitstaff were friendly, warm, and attentive without being overbearing. While we were there, there was a proposal, and it was so cute. The restaurant clapped for the newly engaged couple. Overall, Nobu is perfect for a special occasion, date night, or when you just want to treat yourself to a luxe dining experience.

Festive Decor
Carmen H.

My husband and I had reservations at Nobu for New Year's Eve. The decor was festive, yet the lighting was moody. We were seated promptly upon arrival. Nicole was our server for the evening. We started with cocktails and appetizers. Nicole recommended a few dishes, but because of our food allergies, we avoided the fried items. Still, we managed to try a good variety of food. For drinks, I ordered the lychee martini, and my husband chose the Nobu Old Fashioned. The lychee martini was refreshing and sophisticated. The Nobu Old Fashioned was bold and smooth. We thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails. We ordered the yellowtail jalapeño, New-style sashimi-Wagyu, Black Cod with Miso, Miso Soup with Tofu, and Wagyu and lobster tacos. All the appetizers were tasty, but the Black Cod with Miso was the highlight. Full disclosure: we were quite disappointed with the tacos. The pictures are very misleading, so if you're considering getting them, I strongly advise against it -- don't waste your time or money! We also ordered sushi. We tried the House special, baked snow crab, and the blue oh toro. All the sushi rolls were delicious. To finish the evening, we had Japanese French toast and a Cappuccino. It was the perfect ending to our dinner! Nobu was definitely an experience; however, it's not really worth the value in my opinion. I'd definitely go back someday, but now I know what I'd order the next time around.

Desert was a pudding type of thing
Ace A.

The food was outstanding. Small portions but it's Nobu. Absolutely amazing food. Drinks were really good. Service was great. Explained every dish to us. Ambiance was great nice decor. Little noises on music.. But all in all great experience.

Egg sandwich
Leah K.

I had breakfast at Nobu every morning during my stay, and it honestly became a highlight. The space is calm and refined, the staff friendly, and because it was slow and quiet, it made for a relaxing start each day. Everything came out fresh, well-seasoned, and nicely presented. What I ordered: * Egg white omelette: cooked perfectly, not dry; loved the sun-dried tomatoes and the miso mushrooms on the side * French ham omelette: just okay * Smoked salmon toast with poached egg: savory and satisfying * Egg sandwich: the clear standout -- best thing on the menu * Side of fruit: great mix with berries rather than just melons * Breakfast potatoes: perfectly cooked and seasoned Only wish: the space could use more natural light.

What is on the menu for brunch?

They have a brunch buffet that's unlimited for $75. It's a mix of pastries, entrees, sushi, etc. They also have a variety of coffees, cocktails, and teas! You can also order the breakfast menu options if you prefer.

Does this location have a tasting menu?

At the moment, they do not, but I would call their location to see if they plan on adding it sometime soon!

Will they give individual checks to a party of 6? How about 8?

Don't do this to them 😂 just have one or two people pay and then send them what you need to send them if you must. This is wholly unfair and annoying to servers, and is really disruptive to their evening. At this level: one check.

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants!!…read more Super unique selections like deep fried tomato as the sushi wrap to more traditional options like California rolls.

Rusan's is one of those places. I have been several times, and writing this review to share new additions to their menu offerings. Karen at this location shared the addition of alcoholic beverages to the menu. The rollout was not fully completed when I visited, but they were a few things offered. The upcoming lineup included several unique concoctions that I look forward to having with future meals. Selected dinner options included, Ru San seafood nachos, an avocado/tuna maki, and House fried rice. Paired with a margarita alcoholic beverage. The nachos must include the Ru San name as the style was different from any other type of nachos previously eaten. They were individual large sized nacho chips with avocado, shrimp and tuna and accompanied with a sauce. The taste was delicious and noticed that many people ordered. Portion size was large enough to share. The sushi roll tuna was tender and perfect with the avocado - obviously I cannot get enough avocados! Was extremely pleased to learn fresh fish arrived daily and was a point of pride for Ru San. Karen always provides the best service! She assisted Alan, our fairly new waiter, by checking on us consistently as she did with her assigned tables inside and in patio seating area. Service was excellent by both individuals and look forward to my next visit.

I had a lychee martini and a dirty martini extra olives. The lychee martini was way sweeter than I expected, which is why I ordered the dirty martini, but I didn't enjoy the Leche martini.

Later, she counsels us to order the Black Sesame Ice Cream. This dinner went to a Whole-Nother-Level after May's selection. Just amazing. We learned the roasting of sesame seeds causes a peanut butter and slight dark chocolate flavor which is now my preferred ice cream. She chose fatty tuna, Japanese Snapper among others to create a special entree. I've been going to Tomo for years, but their game recently is raised.

We were greeted upon arrival and everyone was so nice! Their service is top tier no complaints. We ended up getting various items from their menu. Starting off with Appetizers: Hanabi was delicious, the crunchiness of the rice and the tuna was well seasoned. Murasaki Truffle Fries unfortunately were a miss for me. They landed a little heavier than I expected and I did not want to keep eating it. They could have been a bit more crispier but overall not bad. Entrees: We ended up getting their signature Nigiris (toro & yellowtail) they were absolutely delicious! Honestly what made us like Tomo more. We ended up getting their 8 nigiri entree with California roll. I would give it 7/10. Dessert: we got their chocolate crepe cake and they gave us a bread pudding. The bread pudding was a bit too eggy for me but the chocolate crepe cake was absolutely rich & phenomenal. Overall we had a great time and they offer free valet! We will be back

We had the mapo tofu, it was a mild, slow spice. It was good but I wished there was ground pork in the dish as the original would have ground pork. The veggie spring rolls are fine. I think they're not made in house as they are all uniformly shaped. FIsh & sour cabbage soup. We started with this soup, everyone liked it. I grew up with this soup and think it's good except maybe cut down a little on the sourness(?) Soup dumplings. These were nice, the skin's a little thick but it's not Ding Tai Fung, therefore can't complain. The filling was good, the soup inside was sufficient. I wished it came with julienne ginger in the dipping sauce. Bok Choy & shitake mushroom. Everyone in my group loved this dish. The shitake were the fresh ones, not those dried and rehydrated. The sauce was ok, not terribly sweet. Overall a good dish. Yang Chow fried rice had shrimp and small fried pieces of chicken in it. It was pale looking but fragrant and flavorful. No complains there, Sichuan string beans with beef. I personally loved this dish even though it's not the usual with ground pork minus beef. I could've polished this off by myself but had to share with my 5 other friends. Hot & numbing combination. I love this dish, it had a bit of everything (protein), napa cabbage, black fungus, mungbean noodles. It was not too numbing. Flavor was mild, if you are keen to try a szechuan dish, start with this mild version. Overall, we had a good meal, everyone went home feeling satisfied and some of us took some home. So, everything said, there's something for everyone on this menu! Will definitely come here again.
