Nobu

Nobu has to be the worst sushi restaurant I have ever been to. The tuna was off, the beef tasted of bad armpit and the service was dealt by an eatern european that couldn't understand english. What's more the meal cost over £200 for 2 people. I have had sushi all over the world - Sydney - Japan - L.A. - London and have never had a worse meal, I actually felt like throwing up as I left... Nobu you suck!!! Can I give it 0 ...  Read the complete review

A good friend of mine was coming over form the US, and as a kind of celebration we decided to dine somewhere special. We booked a table for 6 at Nobu, and as it was my first visit I had no idea what to expect. All I knew, was that Nobu was an upmarket Sushi restaurant to the stars, good enough for me, a chance to see someone famous eating was all I needed to know. On the big night we got a cab to the restaurant, and it's just as well we did as we might not have had an easy time finding it otherwise. Nobu is situated above the famous Met Bar at the Metropolitan Hotel at Park Lane, London W1. As we walked in I noticed straight away the ...  Read the complete review

This review is based on the dinner menu at Nobu London. Famous for its sushi, Nobu is located in Park Lane. In the past few years I have been to Nobu on several occasions. One doesn't necessarily have to book far in advance, however if you book at late notice, you have to wait at the bar until a table is available. This can take up to an hour. THE LOOK Much effort has been implemented in the interior design. Similar to other expensive sushi restaurants in London there is a a very clean & minimalist look with bare walls, water falls and open space. This gives a Zen like appearance allowing a better flow of feng shuei. This style of ...  Read the complete review

Went to Nobu for our enagement dinner and also stayed at the Metropolitan Hotel, so we were gurantee a table for the night. After reading so many reviews about it and how impressed the celebs seems to be with this place, I was looking forward to this treat. Arrived resturarant on time, only to find that it was packed and the entrance was not very impressive, it's low ceiling feels suffocating more than anything. Initial impression from hostess wasn't great. I understand it was Sat night and it is busy but still, there wasn't any smile or anything. They just squeeze us into the bar which is just right next to the reception. Very tiny, chaotic and open plan. After 10 ...  Read the complete review

This restaurant is located in the Metropolitan Hotel on Old Park Lane and boasts a menu of Japanese/South American fusion food that is unequalled anywhere in the world (apart from the other three branches in New York and Las Vegas). It tries hard to be cool: the minimalist decor that is a feature of almost every new restaurant in London, the views over Hyde Park, the celebrity clientele, plus the models/waiters in their black Kenzo uniforms who attend to your every need. There is substance to their style however, as one quickly discovers that the unbelievably complicated menu is indecipherable without their help. The best plan is to put away the menu and let ...  Read the complete review
