Nobu Atlanta -Food CA (Near Atlanta)

4 /5 Aneesh Arikirevula: Celebrated my mother’s 59th birthday at Nobu Buckhead and had a great experience. We’re mostly vegetarian, and the team helped us navigate the menu with plenty of meat-free options that didn’t feel like an afterthought. Everything we ordered was fresh, well-seasoned, and nicely presented. Service was excellent from start to finish—attentive without hovering—and small touches (like folding our napkins every time we stepped away) didn’t go unnoticed. The pacing of courses was smooth and the staff made the occasion feel special. Overall, a reliable spot for a celebratory dinner with strong vegetarian choices and professional, friendly service. We’ll be back.

5 /5 Lane Stevenson: We had a wonderful experience at Nobu. Upon arrival we were seated before our reservation time. Our first food to arrive was the crispy rice with spicy tuna. The crispy rice takes on an amazing texture with a crunchy outside and chewy inside. The buttery soy sauce was so, so good - the butter evaluates it immensely to pair with the spicy tuna paste. We ordered an additional 6 crispy rice cubes which cost $10. We then had a tuna taco and a lobster taco. The tuna taco was the better of the two - the quality of the tuna was able to compliment the sauce, not be overpowered like the lobster was. Id definitely get the tuna taco again but skip the lobster - it had a sort of horseradish sauce that drowned out any other flavor. The spicy edemame was next - its relatively spicy sauce built up as we ate more and more. The sesame seeds were a nice addition of texture and flavor. Hard to not be messy eating this which felt wrong in such a nice restaurant. We then had the chicken kushiyaki. Besides the lobster taco, this was the only part of the meal that I didnt think was outstanding. Its grilled chicken when it comes down to it - yes the cooking style added some flavor, but youre covering that up entirely with sauce. Chicken did seem to be very high quality - it had a fatty richness that provided a supple texture. For sushi we had salmon nigiri, a kappa hand roll, a tuna roll, and shrimp tempura rolls. The salmon was high quality just like the tuna - tuna was equally high quality as in the taco. Im sure its the same grade. It was oceanic without being fishy. The kappa hand roll was nice - light but flavorful and honestly just a good vessel for high quality soy sauce to begin this sushi course. The shrimp tempura roll was delectable - the breading on the shrimp was able to shine through the other flavors and round out a perfect roll. We could not be more pleased with the quality of food overall. Service was prompt and high quality. As an added note - if youre cheap and dont want to use the valet, right before your last turn to approach the valet theres cheap, paid street parking. We paid $2.50 for 2 hours. That saved 20 dollars plus tip that paid for a drink! Our server was good, but the overall support staff really stood out. The attention and professionalism was impeccable.

4 /5 Enoch Eshetu: I came to Nobu Atlanta twice during my trip once late at night for cocktails and dessert, and once for brunch — and both visits had completely different vibes. Late-Night Visit: The restaurant was packed and the noise level was high, which is expected for a late-night weekend crowd. The ambience is fun and energetic, but it’s definitely not the place for a quiet or intimate conversation at that hour. We only ordered cocktails and dessert, and while everything tasted great, the environment was a bit overwhelming and rushed due to how busy it was. Brunch Visit: Brunch was a totally different experience — peaceful, great lighting, and the service felt much more attentive. The food portions were generous, and everything came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. This is the Nobu experience I prefer: calm, elevated, and high quality. As expected, it is pricey — this is Nobu — so just come prepared. It’s not an everyday place, but it’s definitely worth it once in a while for the quality and the overall experience. Late night was fun but chaotic. Brunch was exceptional and easily my favorite. I’d come back again, but next time I’m sticking to brunch.

1 /5 mlkho 360: We were staying at the Nobu Hotel and had breakfast at the restaurant. The food was very delicious, but the service was horrendous. I’d give the service a 0 star if I could. The staff constantly forgot about the customers after they were seated. Never came up to take orders or give out the check. They were constantly either folding napkins or setting all of the empty tables that had no customers. This is extremely disappointing service given such a nice hotel and good food. I guess sometimes people rely on the laurels of a name and just decide they don’t have to do their jobs? More details: Once seated, the service staff basically forgot about all customers — every table. We had to wait 10 mins before anyone realized we had not been given a menu or drinks. Then it was another 10-15 mins actively trying to get someone’s attention to take our order, but every staff just kept their eyes glued anywhere but at customers. It took another 15 mins before food came, but asking for the check was the hardest part. We asked one server for the check, and they completely forgot. We tried again with another, and finally got our check after 20 mins of trying. The family in the other table noticed our wait time and quickly discussed getting the check immediately after the food arrived. They also wait 15 mins before anyone asked them for their drink order.

5 /5 Lucero Gutierrez: The ambiance at Nobu was great with the DJ at the entrance. The food selections were all worth the visit. Had the empanadas, sushi, prime rib, desserts, etc. since we were staying at the hotel we were able to snag a spot reservation opening, including our guests. Thanks for doing this! Would def come back again. It was was worth the price ❤️
