Nobu Restaurant London Shoreditch

Visited for the Nobu bottomless brunch and would say it's definitely worth the price per person (90pp), especially compared to ordering the same items from the a la carte menu. All sushi & sashimi is unlimited and is buffet style, so you self serve and the sushi gets replenished by staff. Only thing i'd comment on is that you get side plates to put the sushi so you cant fit loads on a plate and it was quite busy when I visited, so factor that in to your game plan . You also get starters for the table and one main per person. The sushi & sashimi is the highlight and the fact that caviars included too. Desserts are also unlimited, so really is good value. Would recommend!!

Came here for my birthday dinner and it totally lived up to the hype. The vibe was warm and elegant, and the service was great. Food-wise, the salmon tacos were the star — so good we had to order them twice. The scallops with foie gras were insanely rich and buttery, and the yellowtail with jalapeno was fresh and full of flavor. We also had some sake which paired perfectly with everything. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it for a special occasion.

Nobu is above the price range where we normally eat out but as we are fans of Nippon food, thought it was worth visiting the grand daddy of Japanese/Peruvian restaurants. It was an enjoyable experience, if dear. Our main waiter was excellent, advising on how much to order, deciding on the sequence and pairing of food arrivals, and instructing us how to best to enjoy certain dishes. This was not the case with all staff who sometimes just dumped dishes on our table. Happily our main waiter stopped by to instruct us to taste the miso black cod on its own first before trying it with the dots of sauce and saving the wand of pickled ginger for the end. Similarly the dry miso powder served with the grilled asparagus was meant to be sprinkled on top, though we also used it as condiment for dipping. First to arrive was a double order of tuna tacos with dry miso. Very delicious, served at room temperature and the seasoning was more reminiscent of truffle than miso. Tiny portion, though, with taco shells just shy 3 inches in diameter. Second to arrive were the star dishes of black cod miso and grilled asparagus with dry miso, both served warm. Portion sizes were thankfully generous. The black cod was delicious because the sweet miso and mirin marinade was applied very thinly and grilled until slightly blackened, so the flavour was complex rather than just sweet. It didn't need the dots of extra marinade mixture on the plate which we both found too sweet. A long thin stalk of pickled ginger was decorative both for its sculptural shape as well as its fuschia to white ombre hue. However, it tasted just like the pickled ginger you normally get with sushi. Asparagus was attractively charred but still succulent so probably blanched prior to grilling. Apologies for the photos as we started tucking into this course before remembering to take a photograph. Next to arrive were chicken skewers with anticucho sauce. Chicken breast was shockingly tender and juicy. I do not know how the kitchen team achieved this texture. Anticucho sauce was okay but nothing special--pretty much the same as in other Nippon restaurants. The garnishes of pickled cauliflower, hijiki and daikon were a lovely contrast. A sweet puree of pumpkin was a nice foil for the anticucho sauce. This portion consisted of two large skewers. Finally our order of maki fillers arrived. We had been unnecessarily worried about tiny portions so ordered a few rolls to fill up on rice. Scheduling these to arrive last was last was a brilliant move on the part of our waiter, as these items were not spectacularly different from maki rolls available at any Japanese takeaway that uses decent fish and serves sushi rice at the correct temperature. I liked the futomaki style house roll served with soy. We also had yellow tail and Jalapeno roll served with ponzu. We took home some maki's in a takeaway box because we were full. The restaurant is windowless in the basement though there is a pretty honey wood decor, recalling both Scandi and Japanese aesthetics. The wood panelling also resulted in excellent acoustics. The disco beats from the bar were far away enough not to be disturbing. Portion sizes were mainly good. I was a little surprised that the only South American ingredient in our order was chilli. We washed down our meal with the cheapest red at 55 which was very pleasant. This is at a price point where we might not dine here again. Dinner for two including the bottle of house wine came to 219. I was glad for the experience and certainly learned some new things to try to reproduce at home.

The food was delicious and aesthetically pleasing. The blue cheese coquettes were unusual and delicious - highly recommend! We sat outdoor at the terrace on a beautiful sunny afternoon. And our waiter (Antika) has the most calming aura. He told us he’s Spanish but he exuded Japanese zen !

Tried the Saturday brunch. Amazing good even if not a sushi lover just for the mains options and choice of many desserts as part of the buffet. And for the sushi lover it is epic. Fill your plate with all kinds of high grade tasty sushi and sashimi. Will have to go back again. Great service from all the staff, although the fixing up your napkin everytime you leave the table thing is a bit much when you are up and down to and from the buffet table. Just a small grip. Definitely worth a try!

The customer service was impeccable. The staff were always smiling and friendly and ready to help. It was such a lovely experience.Usually you pay high prices for dining experiences and restaurants become entitled by their luxury nature but not Nobu. They treat customers with kindness and quality is always high. Our server was Karina she was such a lovely girl and treated us so well. Thank you

Went here for the all you can eat brunch. The food from the buffet was nice. I got the miso black cod as my main course and it was amazing! The staff is really attentive and their service is great. Definitely worth the money. I also love the restrooms, they are very fancy and clean!

Nobu Shoreditch offers a stylish and sophisticated dining experience, and I was so honoured to be invited to have lunch there with friends. The restaurant boasts a sleek interior with a warm atmosphere. The service is attentive, with staff going the extra mile – my phone was dead on arrival and the staff helped to get my dead phone charged at the bar (I'm sorry I didn't get your name!). The menu features a wide array of Japanese dishes, showcasing fresh ingredients and innovative presentations. The quality of the food and the overall ambiance make it a worthwhile experience for any special occasion.
