    Good, but not nearly up to the standards of Nobu’s flagship locations like Tokyo, Malibu and Midtown NYC.

    Quality of the brunch was inconsistent with the usual Nobu quality. Also the buffet style made the food not be right temperature so it just fell flat. We lost our waitress after we got first round of drinks. For $90 a person I would have expected better service and better food. Maybe copy Chang Chang model of delivering fresh to the table (also unlimited). This felt like a let down. As Nobu lovers, makes us not want to come back tbh.

    Fabulous, from arrival to departure and all of in-between. Mother’s Day lunch could not have been better. Love the consistency of Nobu’s cuisine - wherever you dine with them - and the professional wait staff never miss a beat in any of their locations.
