"Iconic Japanese lounge restaurant Nobu has debuted at the historic Hotel del Coronado as part of the resort’s $550 million renovation. Opened in early May, the upscale chain restaurant specializing in Peruvian-inflected modern Japanese food by chef Nobu Matsuhisa occupies a 150-seat indoor-outdoor space. Of course, there’s Matsuhisa’s famous miso black cod, though the lengthy menu offers grilled skewers, sushi, and tempura at sometimes eye-watering prices. —Matthew Kang, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Helen I.

"The latest addition to the Hotel Del Coronado, the second San Diego Nobu location has landed on the palm tree dotted beach boardwalk to offer its high-end sashimi plates, lychee martinis, and more. Chef Nobu Matsuhisa brings his iconic black cod to the indoor-outdoor lounge, along with yellowtail jalapeño sashimi, Japanese A5 wagyu, and other longtime Nobu lovers’ favorites. The pagoda and sushi bar are ideal for solo dining." - Roxana Becerril
"Anchoring the $550-million revitalization project at the hotel, this 150-seat indoor-outdoor restaurant held a soft opening on May 7 and offers panoramic views of the Pacific, an eight-person sushi bar, and a 12-seat pagoda bar featuring Japanese whiskeys, sake, and cocktails. The menu includes the iconic miso black cod, squid pasta with garlic sauce and A5 Wagyu, and sashimi plates, while special dishes for this location include lobster truffle tempura, beef kushiyaki skewers, and tai sweet shiso." - Helen I.

"The beachfront outpost of the world-renowned Japanese restaurant group founded by Nobu Matsuhisa and Robert De Niro, featuring indoor and alfresco oceanfront seating, an outdoor covered patio, a pagoda-style bar, and a dedicated sushi bar — marketed as a premium ocean-view dining experience." - AFAR
"Housed in a 3,700-square-foot oceanfront space that opened in May, this high-profile restaurant pairs signature Japanese-inspired dishes with locally influenced plates; standout items include Black Cod with Miso and the celebrated yellowtail jalapeño sashimi. The venue offers panoramic ocean views from a covered terrace and a dedicated sushi bar, making it a refined option for waterfront dining." - AFAR
