【Visit Date】Weekday 19:30, stayed for 120 minutes.【Seating】No specific arrangement.【Purpose of Visit】Business dinner【Reason for Visit】Invited by the host. Used for a dinner with a business partner. The restaurant is "NOBU TOKYO" located in front of Hotel Okura in Kamiyacho. The restaurant, where skilled chefs collaborate with Hollywood stars, has a luxurious setting that would appeal to foreigners. The details of the dishes are unknown as we left it to the other party, but the menu included: ▪️Assorted appetizers ▪️4 pieces of chef's choice sushi ▪️Sashimi salad ▪️Fish dish ▪️Meat dish ▪️Cold hand-cut soba noodles ▪️Dessert. The first appetizer was salmon caviar, paired with champagne for a toast, followed by sushi with medium fatty tuna, squid, white fish, and shellfish for a balanced selection. The fish dish included fried shrimp and tuna tartare, while the meat dish was a short portion steak. We ended with cold soba noodles, and personally, I think it would have been nice to have a rice dish other than sushi at some point. The dessert was vanilla ice cream with coffee jelly, a simple yet delicious palate cleanser. There were many foreigners at the restaurant that day, with only a few Japanese customers. While the cuisine and ambiance cater well to foreigners, it felt somewhat different as a Japanese dining experience. We used the restaurant for a business dinner, and in terms of private use, it may give off a slightly expensive impression. (By the way, the selection of this restaurant was made by the foreign CEO of our business partner.) Nonetheless, it was a great experience to dine in a gorgeous setting. Thanks to the delicious food, the business conversation went smoothly, and it turned out to be a pleasant dinner. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

The restaurant is known for its strong flavors in Japanese cuisine, which made me hesitant to visit as I prefer more delicate tastes. However, I had the opportunity to go for a business lunch with a foreign colleague. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere with plenty of staff. We tried the lunch box for 4400 yen. The dishes were indeed flavorful but well-prepared and not at all crude. The shrimp spring roll was high-quality with generous shrimp filling. The pork was incredibly tender. The onion-based sauce was rich but tasty. The ceviche, although not typically Japanese, was delicious with a strong acidity. The fish on the salad didn't seem very fresh but had no unpleasant smell. The eggplant in sweet white miso was average in flavor. The sushi was okay. However, the price of over 4000 yen for this set was still quite high. Comparing to the expensive NOBU in Los Angeles, it may seem reasonable to foreign visitors, but in Japan, it mainly covers service and location costs. It's a convenient choice for business lunches, but I probably wouldn't visit on my own dime. The dessert selection was excellent, and I couldn't resist ordering the 1300 yen mini parfait. It was small for the price but delicious. The other desserts looked equally appetizing with portions that seemed perfect even after a filling lunch. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

- Apple Mango Ginger - Grilled Toro Steak with Jalapeño Salsa - Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna - Creamy Spicy Sauce Baked with Shrimp - Corn Tempura - House Special Roll (Salmon, Tuna, Snow Crab, Amberjack, Avocado, Flying Fish Roe) - Sea Urchin - Medium Fatty Tuna - Uji Matcha Fondant with Sesame Ice Cream ◻️ Visit Time: Around 6:10 PM on a holiday ◻️ Crowdedness: No wait ◻️ Reservation: No advance reservation ◻️ Number of Visitors: 3 people ◻️ Tabelog Rating: 3.50 (July 2023) ◻️ Genre: Japanese ◻️ Notes: The Apple Mango Ginger sauce is on the heavy side with lots of fruit, easy to forget. The Uji Matcha Fondant was delicious, a nice change from chocolate. The sauce for the spicy shrimp is always a mystery - it seems like it should be simple to make with common ingredients, but I can never replicate it.

Lunch at NOBUTOKYO again, this time with connections to Silicon Valley. I ordered the black pork simmered dish that was sold out last time. It was so tender that it could be cut with just a fork. The flavor was rich, maybe a bit too strong. It might be because of the fatty taste. It was a very meaningful lunchtime with new encounters. Thank you for the meal~

It's been over ten years since I last visited Nobu Tokyo in Aoyama. The lunch set was very generous. I managed to finish it without drinking any alcohol. The majority of the customers were foreigners, so you can experience a bit of an overseas atmosphere. The flashy feeling from before is gone, and now it has a calm atmosphere.

The Lunch Chef's Course costs 13,200 yen. It may not be visible from the outside, but it gets crowded during weekdays at lunchtime. Many chefs seem busy. I really wanted to have dessert, so I opted for the course instead of a bento. The appetizers had a nice sake pairing. Sushi, sashimi salad, specialty fish and meat, and soba were included. Although the portion was a bit small, I got to try all the specialties. The dessert was matcha fondant with sesame ice cream. Next time, I'll try adding dessert to a bento.

Whenever I visit this lovely restaurant, I always feel that no matter what I choose, it is consistently delicious and enjoyable in a casual way. The dishes are suitable for those who are not big fans of fish, as they are seasoned in a way that makes them easy to eat while still highlighting the goodness of the fish. The staff members are adept at maintaining a good distance, making it a perfect place for casual outings with friends!

Lunch meeting with connections from Silicon Valley at NOBU TOKYO. The setting is interesting as it is a restaurant also found in Palo Alto. Climbed up Edo Midzaka to the Toranomon Towers office. The entrance of the restaurant is on the north side of the first floor, with a cafe downstairs but not connected inside. The entrance is a bit hard to find. Maybe due to The Okura Tokyo Prestige Tower nearby, there were many high-class foreigners. Ordered a fresh carrot ginger juice and waited for the dish. The ginger was strong and seemed good for the body, and it was very delicious. Wanted the pork stew but it was sold out, so opted for the bento. The bento had various dishes and was also a popular menu. It looked delicious, and it tasted even better than it looked. Finished with a cappuccino. A much-needed break. A long-awaited reunion. It was very delicious and a very enjoyable time.

The Nobu restaurant in Japan, owned by Chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa and actor Robert De Niro, is a luxurious dining destination with a high ceiling and an open atmosphere. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes made with seasonal ingredients, including appetizers, sushi, meat dishes, soba noodles, and desserts, all of which were delicious. The restaurant was bustling with tourists from overseas.

I first visited NOBU in Tokyo about 10 years ago, after it moved from Minami Aoyama. At that time, I found it to be quite luxurious and not easy to visit casually. However, recently I have been able to spend money on delicious food, and after being impressed by the NOBU in Waikiki for two consecutive years, I decided to visit the Tokyo branch again after a long time! I really love the international atmosphere here! There is also a sushi counter, just like in Waikiki. The high ceilings and open, upscale atmosphere are what I love the most! The menu offers a variety of Japanese cuisine, with a wide selection of seafood dishes. I was interested in the tuna marinated rice bowl and soba set, but I ended up getting the lunch box which was packed with various dishes. It includes California rolls, meat, and fish dishes. The California rolls with tuna and salmon were my favorite. The pork roast and shrimp spring roll were also delicious. The sashimi salad with yellowtail was fresh and tasty. The sautéed cabbage had a great flavor. It also came with miso soup, making it a good deal compared to other menu items. I was able to enjoy all the dishes I wanted in one meal, and I was very satisfied. I had the amazing black cod miso dish at the Waikiki location, so I would love to visit for dinner as well!

I visited on a regular night. The place was full of foreigners. We ordered a seasonal limited sake and the middle course plus some extras. The dishes included traditional Japanese dishes as well as flavors that foreigners would enjoy. It was a fun experience. How was the cost performance?

I left everything to Nobu Tokyo for the omakase course, including dishes and wine. I visited for the first time in about 10 years, and the location, atmosphere, and service are still wonderful. The ingredients are carefully selected and of high quality. This is the perfect restaurant for those who are not concerned about the price of the food and want to enjoy the atmosphere and conversation. Course Menu: - Amberjack with jalapeno - Black cod miso - Black wagyu sirloin stone oven grill with wasabi pepper sauce - Chef's selection sushi platter - Dessert platter (chocolate cake, ice cream, fruits) * Soba allergy was accommodated by excluding it from the course. Ordered champagne and wine by the bottle. The food is made with high-quality ingredients and cooked meticulously. The flavors are not too bold, making it easy to eat even for those who are not fans of Japanese cuisine. The meat, in particular, was delicious. Considering the price of around 10,000 yen per dish, the impact and uniqueness of the dishes were somewhat lacking. Considering the price, it feels like it's not in Japan. If this were in New York, the pricing would be more understandable. However, due to the fantastic location, atmosphere, and service, this restaurant is great for business meals, entertaining guests, and parties. It's not a choice for my private use as I would opt for a traditional Japanese course meal. The cost-performance ratio and drinks received a strict evaluation, while other aspects received high scores. The overall evaluation may vary depending on what you prioritize!

This is a Japanese restaurant in Toranomon that serves traditional Japanese and creative cuisine. It is the Japanese branch of "Restaurant NOBU," which is expanding worldwide by owner chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa and actor Robert De Niro. They offer a variety of dishes such as sashimi, sushi, tempura, and soba, as well as creative dishes with elements from Europe, the Americas, and South America. The lunch menu includes course meals, set menus, and a wide range of a la carte options, while dinner offers courses and a rich a la carte menu. The restaurant first opened in Aoyama in 1998, then moved to its current location after being taken over by NOBU TOKYO LLC in January 2007. To get there from Kamiyacho Station, take the 4B exit and walk about 6-7 minutes uphill, turning right at the three-way intersection, then right again at the end of the road, located on the 1st floor of Toranomon Hills Office. The large doors are a distinctive feature of the restaurant. Across the street is The Okura Tokyo Oak Prestige Tower. The reviewer visited the restaurant in June 2006 for dinner when it was still in Aoyama. They enjoyed the meal, feeling like they were dining at a Japanese restaurant overseas. The reviewer returned for lunch, making a reservation online after seeing an article about Chef Matsuhisa in the newspaper. The restaurant has a sophisticated entrance with a high ceiling and a spacious dining area with a sushi counter. The lunch menu includes various options with prices on the higher side. The reviewer ordered the lunch course priced at 6,500 yen, which included seafood appetizers, sushi sampler, sautéed Spanish mackerel, cold soba noodles, mini dessert, and coffee. The reviewer was impressed by the sushi and soba dishes, finding them particularly delicious. They also mentioned that the dinner a la carte menu seemed appealing, and they would like to try it next time. It is recommended to share multiple dishes from the a la carte menu due to the generous portions and higher prices. The reviewer also noted the impressive door separating the restroom and hallway, which matched the high ceiling of the restaurant.

I ordered tacos, which I sometimes crave. I love eating them with plenty of salsa sauce and avocado sauce. The deep-fried prawn filo had a striking appearance and was very satisfying to eat.

We had a meeting with 5 people and ordered sushi. We were impressed by the quality of the fish and the beautiful presentation. NOBU not only excels in cooking, but the hospitality of the staff is also exceptional. Even though I am not in the service industry, I find their hospitality very inspiring and learn something new every time I visit.

Stylish atmosphere with creative Japanese cuisine at NOBU TOKYO in Toranomon and Kaya-cho. Enjoy sashimi, sushi, seafood, meat, soba, and various dishes - it's a bliss! We shared different desserts and it felt like being abroad with many foreigners in the chic setting. ⭐️5⭐️ Definitely want to go back. Love it so much but almost don't want to tell anyone. ⭐️4⭐️ Will recommend if asked. Would love to visit again. ⭐️3⭐️ Maybe I'll go again. ⭐️2⭐️ Hmm, would prefer to try a different place. ⭐️1⭐️ Don't want to go. Personally, not recommended. 🍽️ Follow my Instagram @tokyo_gourmet_yokutaberuko for more food adventures! #Roppongi1chome #ShinbashiCafe #ShinbashiLunch #Shinbashi #ShinbashiDate #TokyoGourmet #TokyoCafe #TokyoLunch #TokyoDate #Tokyo #TokyoTrip #TokyoRestaurant #TokyoCafe #TokyoTravel #ToranomonGourmet #Toranomon #ToranomonHills #ToranomonLunch #Kaya-choGourmet #JapanTravel

We visited for a night out and had a great time. The two of us shared a sushi omakase set. We both love NOBU's sushi, even occasionally getting it delivered. The rice and portion size are just right, and the fish is incredibly fresh.

Nobu opened his first restaurant, serving ethnic appetizers that evoke a pale ale. The dish includes yellowtail with jalapeño, which always surprises with its spiciness. Next comes the soothing sushi, followed by a spicy abalone dish that combines Japanese ingredients with American flavors. The teriyaki sauce on the fillet is the opposite, using American ingredients with Japanese seasoning. The authentic soba noodles stand out with their texture and smoothness, surpassing traditional soba restaurants. When asked about the unique texture, it was revealed that the soba is freshly made twice a day, in the morning and evening. As for dessert, by the time it arrived, we were already a bit tipsy from the wine, so I forgot to take a photo. Two of us had traditional Japanese desserts in a bento box, while I had crème brûlée and gelato.

The price was high, but it was truly a wonderful restaurant. The taste of the food, the presentation, the timing of the service, and the explanations by the staff were all perfect. They even prepared a birthday plate for me at the last minute, which moved me. I will definitely save up to go back for another special dinner!笑

A friend who used to live in NY found this restaurant and wanted to go, so we had lunch there! The lunch course was ¥7,150, and it included a choice of appetizer, chef's selection sushi, choice of main dish, a bite-sized portion of soba noodles, mini dessert, and coffee. It's a hidden gem near Kamiyacho and Toranomon Hills stations, close to Hotel Okura. The restaurant had a stylish atmosphere and was spacious. The clientele seemed to be local celebrities and industry people. There was also a sushi counter that would appeal to foreign visitors. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive. Families with children were also dining there, making it a comfortable and relaxing lunch spot. The restaurant is spacious, making it suitable for groups as well. I would love to go back again!
