Nobu Berkeley St

Super trendy and super loud. Restaurant has two levels and it’s packed, like a night club! Service is plentiful, fast and efficient. Food come out quickly after ordering. We took the liberty of ordering 4 dishes at a time, tapa style to share, as we didn’t know how much we were gonna eat. Each dish were delicious! Love the Octopus Carpaccio and the Waygu Beef, as the most memorable dishes. Expect to spend ££££ money here! Yeah it’s worth it!

Always an amazing experience at Nobu but especially this one! Came here on Halloween and the place was creatively decorated. We sat upstairs and had amazing service. The seating was a little odd because it seems that they try to stuff a bunch of tiny tables in one spot. The drinks are always to die for as is the desert. This location is literally in the heart of Mayfair and the crowd is pretty good. I would definitely return, seems like the only issue is that they try to stuff you in like a can of sardines!

No doubt NOBU is always a nice place, just about anywhere you go.
This specific location is in the heart of Mayfair, which by default makes the crowed a good and professional one.
Food is very creative and original with a twist for just about every plate.
Service is very good.
Downstairs has only a bar (cool one) and a large couch seating lounge. Big stairs takes you to upstairs, where the dining room is.

The Nobu restaurants are one of my favorites because of their usual amazing food and service. However, I was disappointed when I recently visited Nobu Berkeley Street. Though the food tasted wonderful as usual, I was very agitated with the table service. I was sitting at a small table and servers continued to attempt to crowd the table with dishes, which made me feel rushed like they were trying to turn our table quickly. At other Nobu restaurants, dishes are served one by one so the guests can enjoy their dishes. The atmosphere of Nobu Berkeley street is loud: playing club lounge type music making conversation between those at your table difficult. If you are looking for Asian fusion, I would recommend you going across the street to Novikov’s Asian restaurant where the food is delicious and service on point.

Erm… Where to start? So much to say…
So we decided to do the very cliché thing — go to Nobu for Valentines Day! We dont really put much importance on Valentines day, its more an excuse for a fancy dinner! However we did have high expectations in terms of food. I remember many moons ago being repeatedly told by a friend in Rome that Nobu was the best restaurant in London. I remember thinking it would take me quite a few years before being able to afford. Although ive been able to for a couple years now, never got round to it, so this was exciting stuff.
I want to start by saying the food was amazing. Really absolutely fantastic — ill go into more details below. However, when you pay this much and when you go somewhere with such a reputation you expect more, much more. So lets beginning:
Absolutely no atmosphere, no vibe, nothing. This place has no soul. White walls, no decoration, nothing to excite you. Very bad very loud music, i guess thats what they might call «atmosphere», but you could barely hear yourself think and even less talk. Seats and tables were particularly uncomfortable. Lots of fancy people in fancy clothes but nothing else. Thats gotta be why it lost its star… Great food just isnt enough for michelin starred restaurants. You want an experience with insane food.
Service was decent considering it was Valentines Day and surely a particularly busy evening.
The food though… Thats another story, we had the Valentines Day 6 course menu, so didnt get to try the special and ph so famous black cod. However, i was not dissapointed with any ofthe dishes. They looked good and tasted good. Fancy japonese food at its best, combination of exciting flavours & luxury products (from a little caviar to classic lobster) cooked to perfection. Every dish was exceptional. Quick mention for the dessert, which i guess i expected less off. It was stunning, fresh & tasty.
If we look at the food alone, i highly recommend, i wodeven want to go again and again and again. However you cant ignore the price tag, ita not cheap obviously. For thatprice id want thw food to be outstanding but also the restaurant also the atmophere… So overall, if you are looking for amazing food i would recommend, but if you are looking for an experience out of this world i wouldnt recommend. Honestly im not sure ill be back.
However, super keen to try Zuma now!

There’s a reason why it’s so hard to get a booking at Zuma and yet it’s so easy at nobu…
It didn’t start well. We were a group of 3, there were a fair few tables empty and yet we were given a tight tiny table for 2. I refused such a bad table and was given a proper sized table.
Service was terrible, slow and quite frankly useless from start to end.
At an early evening booking, how do you run out of the rib eye steak? Or that there was no Sauvignon blanc by the glass? That’s pretty poor.
Anyway, had the tacos, nothing particularly special. A selection of sushi and sashimi, decent taste with the fish as expected, the rice in the sushi was not the best made, fell off too, easily.
The shrimp tempura was fine, but Zuma is another level, much nicer, they serve the whole shrimp in a much better batter. The asparagus tempura was fine, bit greasy, slightly too thick hence they were still a bit hard to break on the end pieces.
I had ordered rice to come with the miso cod which was next. That rice never came so fish by itself, as tasty as the fish is, you need something else with it. Very disappointing.
Finally the last course of tenderloin steak with rice finally. That was cooked rare perfectly and hat a spicy kick to it that worked.
Dessert was just green tea ice cream and petite fours. Was ok.
At the end they apologized for the slow/​lacking service and gave the dessert free of charge but quite frankly
, it shouldn’t have been that bad.
The service needs to improve. Zuma will stay number 1 by miles in my book.

Always a pleasure to dine in Nobu. Pretty swanky. Good service. Had a delightful lunch with delightful company. Tuna and beef tartare were delicious. Black cod a must to order. Snow crab was yummy. And the dessert … Apple tart with peanut ice cream! Happy to go back anytime.

Wow, so uppity and snobbish which might have been worth it IF I hadn’t found a bone in my sea bass sashimi. In their defense, they did give me my dinner and a free dessert (ice cream filled mochi which were really inventive and good)! Still, been to sushi all around the world and have never experienced a bone before! Overrated…

At Nobu, the food is always excellent. You need to book a long time in advance. The only complaint is that the prices are too high taking into account the variety you have in the area.

One of London’s best Japanese restaurant!
High-​end food and service, makes it a great experience, you can’t really go wrong with the order… what ever you will get would be taste and full of flavours. I Highly recommend to visit this one Michelin star restaurant.

The food was great and very well presented, the service was also brilliant with polite and responsive staff.
The only problem I had was at a fun dressy restaurant it was a shame to see so many people allowed in wearing sweatpants and T-​Shirts sitting next to very well dressed couples. A bit off putting but aside from that issue the food and service is great!

Great service, amazing food! Went there the day we arrived to London. Our server was fantastic and she was very knowledgeable and recommended dishes that were suitable to my dietary requirements. The only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is because of the atmosphere — we sat next a a group with few kids behaving badly. Even my child thought it was too much!

my favourite restaurant of all time. The shrimp tempura and black cod is just heaven and melts in the mouth. Highly recommend Nobu.

This is exactly the same as the other Nobus but twice as expensive because you are in London and there is nowhere else to eat. The fact that it is in London and not worse than the NY and LA locations merits at least four stars.

This is the best meal I have ever experienced in my whole life.
Everything from the food, to the wine and dessert. The funny thing is that I always order special sushi, but this time I went for nigiri and it is the best sushi I have ever tried.
The salmon tacos as an appetizer is recommended.
The service, venue and food was all worth the price and you pay for the overall experience. I can not wait to go back.

One of the best restaurants in london for a nice ambience. Its big has high ceiling. Light colors.
The crunchy rice tuna starter and the lobser salad, the beef are the best orders. Cocktails r amazing.
Trendy
Needs a refresh in the menue

Had my first meal in London at this spot. This place has a nice décor, food was good and the service was excellent. My GF made reservations in advance, so seating was a no problem when we got here. This restaurant is classier, so if you’re trying to save or eat on a budget, don’t bother coming. One dish you must order is the Black Cod. It is flavorful and melts in your mouth. It is the one dish that stands in my mind that i want again

+Great food
+Excellent, responsive and friendly service
–Nobu is known to offer top cuisine at reasonable prices. While that is true, the prices of drinks offset it. £6.50 for a 330ml bottle of Sapporo is too much, even at a ‘fancy’ venue as this.

Drink: order lychee martini, it was good as most of thirty cocktail tend to taste sweeter. But if u r into strong achoholic taste, Nobu cocktail may be not for u, instead, u can try their sake.
Food: heard about this restaurant for long time and their famous waiting time for reservations. Compared to other fusion restaurant I have tried, the food here is better than average, but also a bit over rated.
The best dishes are the prawn tempura with their amazing three dipping sauces, salads are good too with nice dressing, their seafood main courses r very good .
But I am disappointed by their sushi compared to other similar restaurant. There are gaps for improvement to perfection.
Tacos are interesting, the filling are good, but Tacos can be more crispy to make the dish work better.
Desserts are better than normal restaurant, but less innovative compared to similar restaurant I have tried in London.

The venue is beautiful and modern, the hostess was was very welcoming and we were seated quickly. The service was top notch, yielding another delightful Nobu experience.
We got the Premium Prix Fixe menu, and the delicious courses did not disappoint. The standout of the night was the toro with truffles… amazing, maybe even cheating with such delectable ingredients!
We can’t wait to return to try the next Prix Fixe!

wollte einmal hier essen; da ich einiges nach Nobus Kochbüchern koche, wollte ich auch mal seine Küche probieren; leider war ich sehr enttäuscht, das Personal war sehr arrogant und wenn die schon versuchen japanisch zu sprechen, sollten die auch einen ansehen und dabei kein Kauderwelsch reden, das Essen (Bentobox de luxe + Bentobox) sah zwar gut aus, hatte aber mit einer richtigen Bentobox wenig zu tun, und war das Geld (ca. 50 + 28 Euro netto mittags) nicht wert, das kann man in London z.B. bei TEN TEN TEI besser und für etwas über 12 Euro haben
