Went for the brunch and found it overall just ok. - Hot plates section: The standout dish was easily the black cod - milky, tender, distinctly flavourful. - Sushi section: Overall quality was good though nothing really stood out. - Dessert section: The best part of the buffet. The matcha based desserts were excellent, the coffee panna cotta was outstanding, and the gelato soft serve was a delight to everyone. The place is beautiful. But given Nobu's reputation and the price they charged, was expecting just a bit more.
Ambiance is absolutely beautiful. Food was good but the prices and small portions are tough to swallow. We ordered the yellowtail jalapeno- delicious! Tuna sushi roll- this was ok. Rock shrimp this was ok- not worth the price. Waygu dumplings- these were clearly burnt and also not worth the price. Service was excellent. This along with 2 drinks each were $300 without tip... if food was portioned correctly i wouldn't mind but definitely felt like a rip off
Nobu's all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch ($110 per person, $55 for children 5-12 years old) is sprinkled throughout the second floor of the restaurant. As you're guided to your table, hot food and carving stations line the walkway, doing a great job of whetting your appetite. Front and centre in the bright dining room is the sushi bar, where a team of chefs continuously turns out maki and nigiri. Off in the corner sits the dessert table, with a ceviche and spicy cucumber salad ice bar tucked in for good measure. I appreciated how the food stations are spaced out. There's no dreaded bottleneck of diners waiting, nor that frantic urge to grab everything at once just to avoid lining up again. Chef Nobu Matsuhisa was one of the pioneers of Japanese-Peruvian cuisine back in the mid-90s. At the time, dishes like spicy tuna crispy rice and yellowtail crudo felt fresh and exciting, while miso black cod became a signature that kept people coming back. These are still dishes I enjoy, but decades later they've been copied endlessly, making what's served at Nobu feel far less groundbreaking than it once was. If you're going for the miso black cod, make sure you get it hot. My first bite, taken from a platter that had been sitting, was bland and slightly fishy. A second round, straight from a freshly placed tray, was noticeably better. It's tasty, but it didn't rank among the best miso cods I've had. The crispy rice station is a great idea in theory, but the execution falters. The wooden spoons make it awkward to scoop up the rice nuggets, and many of the serving utensils (spring-hinged chopsticks and oversized soup ladles) are poorly suited for a buffet. Thankfully, the soft-serve ice cream station sits right beside the crispy rice, so I grabbed a simple stainless steel teaspoon. It turned out to be the perfect tool for neatly dolloping finely chopped tuna, salmon, and mashed avocado onto each bite. The crispy rice itself would benefit from being thinner and longer for easier spreading and eating. Unsurprisingly, the sushi was underwhelming, even when taken from freshly dropped plates. The rice was bland and too cold, though at least the pieces were kept small, letting the fish take centre stage. All things considered, it's better than most buffet sushi, though I usually steer clear of buffet sushi stations altogether. Some of my favourite bites ended up being the unexpected ones. Nobu's Greek salad has a generous feta-to-vegetable ratio that leans salty but spooning it over the garden salad below helps balance things out nicely. This is a long review for the rest go to Gastro World.
Came to Nobu Restaurant to celebrate my birthday last week :) The ambiance was very nice, with high ceiling and stunning decor. Service was friendly, and I liked that our server cleaned the debris from table after each course. We opted in to try one of each: The Classic Omakase and The Festive Omakase, and we got to try a bit of everything! We did request for no added salt, though some dishes still turned out quite salty (both appetizers, salads, and the beef yakitori). On the other hand, the lobster, the cod fish and the wagyu were amazing! Nonetheless, it was still an enjoyable experience. I absolutely loved the Whiskey Cappuccino dessert at the end, presented in a cute Cappuccino cup with "Happy Birthday" written ^^ It was beyond delicious, and I'd 100% order it again :)
I recently went to Nobu for their Sunday brunch, and I came away with mixed but overall positive feelings. The ambience and service were excellent. The restaurant is very clean, stylish, and polished, and the overall atmosphere feels upscale and refined without being intimidating. Service was attentive, professional, and smooth throughout the meal, which definitely elevated the experience and made the brunch feel special. As for the food, I would describe the quality as good, but not exceptional. The sushi was fresh, but the selection of fish was quite limited, especially for a Nobu brunch. Another issue for me was the rice-to-fish ratio -- the rice portions were noticeably large, to the point where I personally removed some of the rice while eating. The fish itself was fine, but nothing that truly stood out or justified the hype on its own. The black cod was the clear highlight and easily the best dish of the brunch -- rich, flavorful, and well executed. The carving station meats were tasty, and the desserts were solid, with enough variety and quality to end the meal on a positive note. That said, the pricing makes you pause. At around $110 per person plus tax and tip (roughly $150 per person total), it naturally raises the question: Is it worth it? From a pure food-quality perspective, I'm not fully convinced. The food was good, but not at a level that clearly justified the price on its own. However, when you factor in the excellent service, beautiful atmosphere, and overall dining experience, the pricing becomes more understandable. You're paying as much for the setting and service as you are for the food. Personally, I would choose Nobu's course menu over the Sunday brunch next time. I've had Nobu in Las Vegas, and the course dining experience there was far more memorable in terms of flavor and value. While I don't regret trying the Sunday brunch, it's not something I would repeat often. Overall, worth trying once for the experience -- just go in with realistic expectations, especially given the price.
This place is more about the "vibes" than the actual food. We went to try Tanoshi happy hour in the lounge, and the atmosphere was nice with soft lighting. The drinks were strong and delicious, I decided to try their famous lychee elderflower martini, and my friend decided to try Nobu version of a gin and tonic (Roku Highball). The drinks are obviously overpriced, even for happy hour, with discounted prices comparable to regular prices elsewhere on King Street (not surprising but not worth the money either). The food was underwhelming to say the least. We tried the edamame, shrimp and their staple item, spicy tuna rice. The shrimp was average and lukewarm, and the edamame was okay. The tuna bites didn't taste fresh and the rice was stiff and chewy. Overall, it was nice to experience the place for its decor and the ambiance, but I wouldn't be in a rush to return for the food.
We were in town for a birthday celebration and made a reservation in the bar. You can order from the bar menu or the complete restaurant menu if you sit here. We decided to order off the happy hour special menu so that it is more of a tasting menu... We were able to try nine different dishes and some delicious cocktails. Service was amazing. The interior is very dark ...black walls, low lighting and the staff wears black. They glide up to your table, Almost invisible to remove dirty plates and fill water glasses. We had fun asking their recommendations of favorite dishes and agreed with their choices as well Our least favorite was probably the beef waygu goyza and our most favorite may have been the salmon wrapped around the Asian pear.
Was so excited to hear about Nobu coming to Toronto! Got the chance to go out for a night out with friends and this place was magical. Classy, elegant and very well put together is how I would explain the aesthetic of this restaurant. The service was amazing and the servers were so kind! Now on to the food, the portion sizes are quite small but overall was delicious. I got to try the Salmon Sashimi, Chilean Sea Bass and Red Jalapeno Miso, and Spring Chicken Shiro Miso. The drinks were also beyond amazing totally recommend Lychee Elderflower Martini! 8/10 recommend!
Brunch overpriced - I would prefer to pay more for more selection better experience. Main issues with brunch - lack of selection and cohesiveness. Oddly soft serve ice cream was located beside sushi station and cucumber salad and ceviche was in dessert section - strange. In the middle of what I would describe as the main meal / entree station sat bacon sausages and scrambled eggs between the beef carving / roasted veggies and the Asian selection (Japanese curry, miso cod bites, duck Bao) western breakfast seemed totally out of place - dumplings - tofu - pork belly would have fit much better Earl grey tres leches was however beyond that the desserts were very average and surprisingly no fresh fruit option. Maybe it is different alacarte this was my first (and last) time to Nobu Toronto my only other experience was as in KL Malaysia and this did not compare.
Expected more from this restaurant given the name and location. We ordered a few things from the happy hour menu including yellowtail jalapeno, salmon nashi, tiradito, crispy rice tuna, and Japanese old fashioned. On the regular menu, we opted for sashimi sakad, toro scallion cut roll and Nobu old fashioned. The premium old fashioned was good and came with one huge ice block. The food and happy hoir drink was just ok.
We celebrated a birthday here and had a lovely time. Definitely a special occasion choice, as the price point is high, but the service, ambiance and creativity makes it worth it. The standout choices for me for the night was the lobster, the scallop maki and the Zen garden dessert. The lobsters were fully prepared and the sauce complemented it so well. We could have eaten a full portion. The maki had a lovely sesame aroma which really took you by surprise the moment you picked it up. Finally, the zen garden dessert was the showstopper. Such an interesting, delicious and innovative dessert. Amazing work by the pastry chefs!!
Beautiful interior design! Lots of places to take pictures. Nobu is quite hyped in the States and I've tried to understand it and think I somewhat get it now. If you go to Nobu, you have to not look at the prices. Everything is overpriced, it will never make financial sense and that's just the situation. Even I draw the line somewhere tho so I would stay steer clear of ordering a la carte sashimi or sushi. If I'm paying that price, I would rather go to an omakase. Instead, go for the hot/cold dishes, tacos and their rolls. Their rolls size was actually quite generous. Everything we ordered was tasty. And of course the miso black cod is bigger than in the pictures and tastes so flavourful. Service was prompt and quick. I did wish the food came out quicker though.
Located downtown near the CN Tower on Mercer right beside its named hotel. It's my first time in a Nobu restaurant, knowing that it's on the high end side, I had high expectations. Venue: When we entered the restaurant we were greeted with a lot of staff. We came quite late (about an hour) because of all the traffic but was still accommodated with kindness and respect. There were two hostesses and about 3 security it appears. They got our coats. We headed upstairs and were greeted with two other hostesses to seat us. There were bar seats and the dining area. Place is quite large and spacious. We were seated at a booth area which is a plus. Service: Honestly there were so many staff and all were absolutely amazing. They had Japanese staff as well so it was nice to hear some Japanese here. Despite my sister and I being happy with our alcohol, they were so kind to us. Food: Obviously expensive. We ordered a lot of food and drinks. Bill was on the heavier side just under 2k. The nigiri was really good. I just feel like the otoro could've more on the buttery "melt in your mouth" feel including the uni. The scallop i found not as good as I expected. The nigiri was not bad, but maybe this is because I love and go to omakase a lot. Everything else was quite delicious and I truly enjoyed it. I would certainly come here again!
One of the best experiences we had in downtown Toronto. The sushi was extremely fresh with a large variety of nigiri and maki options. My favorite was the yellowtail nigiri. They also have a westernized station that I would make sure not to miss as the prime steak with wasabi pepper sauce and black cod were some of our favorites. We were also shocked with how rich and creamy the scrambled eggs were. The service was fantastic. The second you leave for more someone would fold your napkins nd refill you drink. They were also nice enough to accommodate combining two reservations and placing us in a corner with a newborn. read more
We were quite excited to try their brunch, but the entire party left a little disappointed. Overall the food was ok, given some of the ordinary dishes had a unique twist (ie. wasabi mashed potatoes, lobster miso soup). The scrambled eggs were excellent and the salad was tasty. Now for the misses. The highly anticipated items such as miso black cod, and sushi didn't hit the spot. Miso black cod didn't taste fresh or exceptional in anyway, would have been better off ordering a fresh piece from any other restaurant. Sushi was alright, the rice was great and well seasoned but the fish were quite thin. Service was decent and the restaurant is beautiful and comfortable. We were not rushed at all as the place wasn't busy read more

Came for my partners holiday party with high expectations, some were met, some were questionable. Here goes: Let's start off with service. All the servers were really great and attentive. Always there when my drink was getting low and ready to take the order for my next one. The only odd experience of it all was when we were leaving. The moment we stepped into the elevator from the second floor to leave, custom ordered florals in hand from the holiday party, there was a staff member that ran after us to stop the elevators from closing. Asking if we were taking their florals from the restaurant. Definitely a weird accusation, since this was a big private holiday party, felt like they should have known better with what belongs to the restaurant vs. what was brought in externally from the customers. Was not a great way to end the night for us from Nobu. Aside from this, let's get into the food portion of things. Yellowtail Jalapeno 5/5 - A great starter that is light and refreshing. Would get this again. Tuna sashimi salad 5/5 - Refreshing and great for sharing. Liked the little pieces of tuna sashimi added to the salad. Assorted sushi and rolls 2/5 - Don't think I would come here with high expectations of the sushi and rolls being that great. The fish was okay, not necessarily melt in your mouth type of freshness. Could probably skip on this. Black cod miso 5/5 - What Nobu is known for and all about (aside from crispy tuna rice). This was a solid 5/5 with perfectly cooked miso cod. Flakey, buttery, packed with miso flavour. AAA beef tenderloin 5/5 - Tender, delicious, came with an au jus that was the perfect pairing to the meat. Topped with something crispy that added great texture and contrast. Think our piece of meat came a tad bit overcooked than medium rare. Would've been absolutely perfect if it was a little more raw. Buttermilk donuts 4/5 - It's nothing special but was a good sweet end to the meal. Overall, the dining experience was good. Food mostly was good other than the sushi and rolls. Great for a special occassion or date night out. read more
Went to Nobu for my husband's birthday and everything was great. Below is what we ordered: - Miso black cod - their signature dish and a must try. It lives up to the hype for sure and was actually alot bigger than what I expected! I heard that portions were small so I was expecting a small piece but it was actually a very reasonable size! Miso black cod is typically more expensive anyway so I think this was actually good value. - Yellowtail jalapeno - this was really good but also a really small portion. At $42 for six pieces, its basically $7 per piece. Although this was really good and worth trying at least once, if we were to return we wouldn't order again due to the high price. - Rock shrimp tempura - this is a good filler dish as its filling and a good portion however we thought it was pretty average and compareable to other restaurants. - Crispy rice with spicy tuna - We loved this! The combination was just so good and the tuna was really high quality. It isn't that spicy. - Wagyu dumplings - we thought these were just okay/average. Could pass next time - Toro and scallion maki - this was really good, the tuna was really fresh, however the rice was a little too soft/mushy. read more

Having dined at their LA location before, I thought I knew what to expect, but this restaurant completely blew the other out of the water. The hospitality here was truly exceptional--a level of service and warmth I simply did not see or feel at their other venue. From the moment we walked in, the staff made the experience feel special. And the food? Incredible. Every dish was executed flawlessly, and the timing of the courses was absolutely perfect. Aesthetically, this location is a chef's kiss--gorgeous ambiance and attention to detail everywhere you look. I would absolutely go back to this specific location again, whether it's for a special occasion or just to treat myself on a random weeknight. Just make sure to plan ahead--you should definitely get reservations because they are understandably in high demand! read more

Probably the most mid Japanese food I've ever eaten in Toronto. With the high price point, you would think you would get better quality. Extremely disappointed with my experience here and I would not recommend anyone to try the ayce. Service and ambiance was excellent, however I cannot say the same for the food quality. Definitely an overhyped restaurant. read more
It was a treat to finally be able to try Nobu in Toronto. The interior decor was beautiful and you can definitely tell it's very elegant. We got lucky and were able to get a reservation for my cousins birthday for the next week on the day they released reservation bookings. There were so much variety and options to choose from on the menu. I wanted one of each. Loves: the miso cod of course- melts in your mouth, lobster tempura, wagyu dumplings yellowtail japaleno, mochi and sobacha brownie Average: tempura veggies, tacos, crispy rice spicy tuna My favourite and I still have dreams about is of course the miso cod. It lives up to its hype- amazing flavour and melts in your mouth. The wagyu dumplings were juicy and full of flavour. The lobster tempura was amazing as well- perfect tempura- soft inside and crunchy outside. The desserts were unique and a hit- sobacha brownie was sweet yet savoury and the mochi was chewy and had very different ice cream flavours. I also enjoyed the spicy edamame and could eat a whole bowl by myself. But others thought it was too spicy so beware. I was not a fan of the tacos and crispy rice, the flavours didn't come through, it just tasted very bland. The tempura veggies were ok as well nothing special. All in all, a great experience. The portions were surprisingly large so we were too full to try the rolls. Will definitely be back for the miso cod and to try other dishes! read more
After a whole month wait since reservations are really hard to make at this spot.. it's a month wait .. so finally got my turn Ambiance : very spectacular.. very dim and romantic elegant restaurant fabulous modern decor .. we got a seat at the tunnel however we really were hoping to get a spot at the main dining area but didn't seem to have it available so odd.. the restaurant is also connected to the hotel.. so perhaps they let people who are guest dine first and prioritize them I guess.. The restaurant was very nice and elegant .. it was a full house but it felt so wide and spacious didn't feel like it was that busy or crowded but it definitely was! Food: Overhyped .. food is good but not at the price this place charges .. just be aware you will leave out of here with an empty pocket -650$ and still be hungry .. drinks were around 30$ a drink... served in small little glasses everything is way too overpriced.. Food was mehh? The only real highlight was the miso cod superb and flakey and cooked to perfection 5/5 .. but it was such a small little piece for 59$ highway robbery!! the rest was mediocre maybe 3/5 .. just not sure how this is so hyped My baked alaska was incredibly sour felt like eating a sour patch Chicken charcoal grill was overcooked Cauliflower dish was undercooked 2/5 and it was extremely spicy Spinach .. just a bunch of leaves put together with cheap parmesan cheese lol .. 0/5 and that was 29$ for spinach oh myy you can get a whole bag of it for 5$ lol The maki was not really maki lol not sure why they call it that way.. it's Hosomaki.. there's just one item in the roll not a Maki! Service: 5/5 really nice waitresses and bartenders who really were great nice and friendly definitely no complaints in that department Overall, I came I saw I conquered not sure ai'd ever come back here!! read more

English We were looking for a new food place for dinner where we can try a good authentic Japanese and delicious food. So, we decided to visit Nobu Bar & Lounge located in Toronto, ON. If you're looking for a phenomenal food / dining experience, look no further than Nobu Bar & Lounge. Their menu is a culinary masterpiece, offering an incredible selection of dishes that cater to diverse tastes and preferences. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit a true pleasure. Nobu Bar & Lounge is a lovely place. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city in spite of being in the city . There's an ample parking space around the building. The place has the huge indoor seating arrangements and the seating arrangement is super comfortable and spacious. The staff is really nice, friendly and kept following . The food menu is great and there are many choices to choose from and they also offer quite a lot of small bites options to choose from.Pricing is decent, good value for money and the place is more suitable for a group of people.

Nous avons donc décidé de visiter le Nobu Bar & Lounge situé à Toronto, en Ontario. Si vous recherchez une expérience culinaire phénoménale, ne cherchez pas plus loin que le Nobu Bar & Lounge. Son menu est un chef-d'œuvre culinaire, offrant une incroyable sélection de plats qui répondent à des goûts et des préférences divers. L'atmosphère est chaleureuse et accueillante, et le personnel est sympathique et attentionné, faisant de chaque visite un véritable plaisir. Le Nobu Bar & Lounge est un endroit charmant. Loin de l'agitation de la ville malgré le fait d'être en ville . Il y a un grand parking autour du bâtiment. L'endroit dispose d'immenses places assises à l'intérieur et la disposition des places assises est super confortable et spacieuse. Le personnel est vraiment gentil, amical et a suivi . La nourriture le menu est super et il y a beaucoup de choix et ils proposent également de nombreuses options de petites bouchées parmi lesquelles choisir. Les prix sont corrects, bon rapport qualité-prix et l'endroit est plus adapté à un groupe de personnes. read more

I don't know what they use to fry the rice blocks for the crispy rice and tuna appetizer (probably butter?) but it was AMAZING. read more

i've been wanting to dine at nobu for quite some time and was very underwhelmed during my visit here. i'd like to point out the service and ambiance were great, our server olivia was amazing and provided great recommendations. however, the food in my opinion is just ok and not worth the hype. the lychee martini was wayy to sweet, almost like they just poured juice from the cans and served it in a martini glass with no alcohol. the black miso cod was extremely sweet. there was no balance in flavoring, the sweetness overpowered the dish. the king crab amazu ponzu was good but the portion was small for the price. we also tried the waygu dumplings which were fulfilling but the meat filling itself was a tad too bland. i did enjoy the crispy rice with spicy tuna and the yellowtail jalapeño roll, but again, these are items that you can easily enjoy elsewhere with the same quality and for a portion of the cost. read more
