NOBU Hong Kong

I was here for celebrating my friend’s and my birthday. I came here on a weekday and ordered the tasting omakase menu. I have to say it’s quite surprisingly good compared to the past. I used to come here often for lunch but not dinner. Given the dinner set is 1800Hkd + , I would say this is not the price I was expecting because the look and taste should value more than this. Every single dish is so tasty. Frankly, it is the best to pair Japanese food with a bottle of sake and they do have a long list for you to choose. They also printed a Polaroid photo for us to remember this precious moment. Overall service and experience is 5 out of 5. Highly recommended. PS my fd doesn’t eat certain ingredients and they can also cater the request . I would for sure rate this as one of the best Japanese restaurants.

Excellent Sakura season omakase. Asked the sommelier (KC) for sake and wine pairing. Food was great and gave a good overview of the Nonu menu. Lovely sakes and wines. Service was very professional and friendly. Nice environment and good ambiance.

We recently dined at Nobu at the Regent Hotel in Hong Kong and ordered the Omakase set menu at around HK$1500 including service charge. I am disappointed to report that our experience was rather underwhelming. The food, while not terrible, was distinctly average. The soup and sauces were excessively salty. The sushi, which one would expect to be a standout dish failed to leave a lasting impression. The dessert which was an overcooked chocolate fondant was on the dry side and took about 20 minutes to arrive. The cooked dishes were just standard which you can find much better in other restaurants. One of the main selling points of Nobu is clearly the view. When we arrived around 7.30pm there were numerous unoccupied tables closer to the windows. The hostess informed us that these tables were reserved and we were not allowed to choose those tables, but when we left around 9.15pm, they were still unoccupied!!!! This practice, although perhaps catering to VIP or hotel guests, seemed unnecessary and unfair, especially considering the current economic climate where Hong Kong businesses are struggling. It would have been more considerate to seat guests where they actually wanted to be seated, particularly when the quality of the food did not justify such exclusivity. I must admit that experiences like these make me question the long-term survival of restaurants that prioritize superficial factors over the quality of their cuisine. If you're looking for amazing Japanese food, I would recommend exploring other options such as Sushi Hanami or Enishi, both of which I gave five-star reviews. These establishments offer superior culinary delights without the need to pay for a view that may not even be fully enjoyed due to such seating restrictions or practices which may have been acceptable pre-pandemic but now, I’m sorry but that is just not acceptable, you just wont survive for long with these practices. All in all, our visit to Nobu left us with a poor impression and having just returned from a glorious stay at the Aman in Luang Prabang where service was just impeccable… the service at Nobu requires much attention and improvement.

Nobu signature cuisine. Every dish was cooked and presented well. Except the Ohitashi which was a little dry and bland. The Nasu Miso was praised by all. The home-made Mochi was delicious, particularly the green tea flavour and a great finale to a delicious meal. Would have loved more green tea mochi but, unfortunately, Nobu does not allow ordering of individual flavours.

Nobu at its best. Nobu is just back in Hong Kong in the new renovated Regent Hotel and it’s so good to have Nobu back. We are a big fan of Nobu and have been fortunate to go to few Nobu including the one in Tokyo last month (which was so so disappointing btw). So last night, we ordered the dishes that we enjoyed : spicy edamame, green leaves with matsuhisa sauce, rock shrimp tempura with spicy sauce, eggplant with miso sauce, black cod, soft shell crab cut rolls, California cut rolls. Salmon and avocado cut rolls and bento box as a dessert. We tried the spinach leaves salad but won’t order it again, nice but nothing special. Our usual were delicious. Big thumb up to the staff, perfect service. The food came not too fast and all the staff were pleasant, super polite and helpful. Yes the bill is high. We did have a lot of food. Nobu is special and we had a lovely meal. We will remember it and would highly recommend it.

Harbour view restaurant with low background music. Dry sake 北雪 is nice. Hot dishes are generally good, but u may want to avoid the spicy ediname n the tuna taco.

Never thought I could ever rate Nobu at 3. But this has happened:( And this mark is only for the fantastic view and politeness of the personnel. The latter though should be trained better as the starters were served with long pauses to each guest, and the drinks listed in the menu do not represent the whole range, btw a signature beer Asahi is not listed in the menu but when asked for some lager beer I was offered only bitter ale from the menu and only when tasted and rejected the waiter mentioned Asahi. The food unfortunately didn’t impress either - even the rice in maki was far from Nobu acclaimed quality. Note: the restaurant is situated in the Regent hotel (main entrance).

Ambience of this Nobu location is on another level. Overlooking the harbour and Central at dusk is a memorable dining experience.

This is probably the nicest nobu in the world as it sits inside the intercontinental hotel facing the harbor. I was staying at the hotel and getting reservations on a weekday was quite easy. The view is absolutely stunning and the food is exquisite. Service was impeccable and it is a very classy joint. My uncle ordered the 8 course meal and every sushi was like a art piece. I stuck to rolls and a octopus dish with veggies.

With a 30%discount on a la carte, so went wild ordering, forget bout the set menu! Amazing view but despite asking for window seat when booking as it's our 15th wedding anniversary, instead we go a corner seat close to the toilet ... slightly disappointing but kept positive that we are getting 30% off!! Food did not disappoint at all, amazing flavor and texture... I'm sure there are lots of review on the food. Waiter was casual and friendly, we just order a beer and cocktails, sake would be nice but then I fail to justify high price for good sake ... I love sake but not at crazy price. Love to come back one day!!

I was staying at the Intercontinental and decided to come down and check out their happy hour specials on offer from 6-8pm. It seemed like not everyone knew about it, because they had to check if it was happening and gave me the wrong menu. I started with the Tonimomo which was very good and then the Matsuei Sour, which was more sweet than sour. I also tried the grilled shishito peppers and the sashimi tacos. The grilled peppers were fantastic, the tacos were okay. The menu is very limited and a little pricey for what you get. Honestly, come for dinner but do happy hour in the hotel lobby. It's at the same time and the menu is much larger and everything is at the same price point.

Sushi was average here, not worth the price. But worth the view and atmosphere. Great for special occasions and great service! The shrimp in the mayo like sauce is highly recommended as the portion is big and tastes great! However, if looking for a sushi restaurant on a budget, this is definitely not the place!

Honestly I have been to the Nobu's in California many times... and I'm very surprised that the Nobu in HONG KONG wins my foodie heart! I love love love the option of not having to have the whole table order omakase. In the states, they require the whole table to order omakase as their policy.... In Hong Kong, since I was dinning with my mom and her friend- they did not want to order omakase since they have already ate before so they did the ala carte. I ordered their spring omakase and it was plenty of food. It was an 8-course meal starting with their seasonal sashimi (which was very fresh), assorted nigiri, some hot dishes and ended with a delicate dessert. My whole experience here at Nobu was excellence both in service and food quality. I am glad I tried the Nobu here :)

I've been wanting to try a Nobu for ages and conveniently, during my stay in HK, I was able to try one just down the road from where I lived. Situated at Intercontinental, this restaurant provides you with a breathtaking view while you dine. I made the reservations a couple weeks in advanced mainly for the reason that I wanted to get organized while travelling. Pretentiously, I pulled my "Dr." card out hoping they'd give me a good view of the restaurant because I read on previous Yelp reviews that it was hard to get and knowing how superficial HK can be sometimes on their professional statuses, I decided to try my luck. Mind you...I would never do that here back at home but you know...what the heck. As luck had it, we were seated in the most beautiful spot in the whole restaurant. We were right by the window and it overlooked the whole harbour while we dined. We decided to go for the full omakase and ordered a bottle of sake to go with our food as well. Service wise, it was fantastic. Our server even asked us if the pace was okay. Ambiance wise...well, we were seated in the best spot, so we could not have possibly asked for more. Food wise...well it was delicious but it just didn't really blow our minds. (See my review on Alo). The flavours were definitely there but nothing danced in my mouth. I love that dance in your mouth sensation and for a place like the caliber of Nobu, I was hoping it would. Overall, our meal was extremely expensive ~$800 CAD in total and although the food was great, I thought I was paying more for the view. In a couple weeks, I will be going to Kaiseki Hashimoto...so I will tell you what $800 here will get you!

My husband and I love the nobu in NY so we had to try this one. We got popcorn shrimp, toro tartar, wagyu tataki, crispy rice with spicy tuna, and toro sushi. The only thing that we didn't care for was the toro sushi. It was very fatty and hard to chew, which you wouldn't expect from toro. I would order everything else again.

I know the quality is usually high, but the day after I felt very sick, I'm sorry guys but this is the true. Maybe I was unlucky, but this is what happened to me. Quite slow service.

Executive Summary: Famous Nobu Restaurant Chain offering superior quality with stunning views of the Hong Kong harbour. Value (Price/Quality): Good - price is expensive, taste is outstanding. Customer Service: Good - the host/hostess will walk you to the table and greet you, the servers will ask questions and make great recommendations and are not presumptuous. Service charge (tip) automatically included. You'll like this place if: You've been to Nobu before, love quality Japanese food, want a special dining experience, or great lunch specials to escape away from the office. Don't go here if: If you like the Japanese fast food chains in the city. Transportation: TST Subway station with underground access or take a taxi. Tip: Offers superior lunch specials! First time trying a lunch here and loved it. Dinner is same global experience anywhere else. The Good, Bad and Ugly Details: Evenings get really booked up! Although the quality and taste is outstanding, you will need to order multiple dishes to feel full. Expect around $100 USD ($780 HKD) per person minimum. Yelp Customer Bottom Line: If don't think you will ever come here, save up for that special occasion! If you are a serious foodie and want to see what the fuss is all about, then do a tasting menu and go all out! I on the other hand, come weekly when I work in Hong Kong so I can enjoy the experience in bite sizes. Business Opportunity: Redesign the space to have special dining booths for a more private and intimate experience.

Overpriced delicious cuisine with fantastic views of the harbor from the second floor of the Intercontinental Hotel in Hong Kong. We dined at Nobu late December 2015 with a 10 PM reservation during a quick layover in Hong Kong. The restaurant is on the second floor of the Intercontinental Hotel and overlooks the harbor. I emailed several months in advance requesting a window side table for our party of four and while I was never given a guarantee, we were seated near the window upon arrival. Service began attentive. While I get the mystique of the Nobu name, I personally thought the dishes were priced extremely high for the portions provided. That is not to say each dish was not full of flavor and amazing, not that I felt I over payed for the meal. Dishes are served tapas style. We ordered four dishes and found this adequate both for the amount of money we wanted to spend and food we wanted to eat at 10 PM. We began with yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño which is an absolute must try. The flavor was fantastic, providing a nice little kick from the jalapeño. Next was thinly sliced scallops that were recommended by our waiter. While not an over the top experience, this was an excellent dish for any scallop lover. Third was the house maki rolled which was enjoyed by the entire table. Finally, and the reason I would highly recommend this restaurant, was the black cod. This dish was simply amazing and one of the best seafood dishes I have ever tried. The meat flaked off perfectly and was full of flavor, I would not dine at this restaurant without ordering this house speciality. The hype is real! Overall, Nobu as a fantastic dining experience, albeit more than I would be willing to spend on a monthly or even bi annul basis. I just do not think the prices commensurate with the amount of food provided. However, I am hesitant to remove a star for this flaw as the food was fantastic, the service fantastic, ambiance fantastic, and overall dining experience wonderful.

The best of the best, best sushi restaurant in Hong Kong great view great sushi great service

Our son in law travels to Hong Kong on business often and recommended Nobu. We stayed at the Intercontinental, so a light meal at the bar was the perfect choice after 24 hours of travel. We ate here two nights later when a long day sightseeing left us feeling why leave the hotel when we can go here.

I have been to Nobu restaurants all over the world and this one is definitely one of the best, even though I rank it behind their NYC and LA properties...It is in Kowloon so you have wonderful views of HK island and the menu is as consistently good as the locations in the U.S. You should definitely get the miso cod among other staples like the Rock Shrimp Tempura and the Lobster Tempura!

We came to Nobu for the afternoon tea set. It was totally worth the trek!! Since we had four people, we ordered two of the "simply t-set" for 2. The set was amazing! I'll try my best to recall what we had - drinks we ordered: - nofe: omg this was my favorite! it's like a japanese version of yuanyang, coffee mixed with matcha tea. SOO good!! - cocoa matcha: matcha tea with chocolate syrup, not overpowering, pretty good - matcha cappuccino: a good choice if you want something warm (also available cold) - strawberry matcha: good option as well if you want something sort of fruity SAVORY - tofu roll with lobster and cream cheese: this was alright, a good starter to the set i suppose - squid ink tamagoyaki: inside was daikon and egg. this was perfect! usually tamago is too sweet but this one was just right - salmon jerky: a seafood version of beef jerky, tough but not teeth breaking tough. yum - japanese donut with liver pate: more of a cake donut, this was alright (i'm not a huge cake donut person i guess) SWEET - chestnut cheesecake: less of a cheese taste and not too sweet. good with the chestnut paste, topped with a piece of chestnut and gold flake - berry jelly on top of soy bean jelly: interesting and not overly sweet. this was one of my brother's favorites as he devoured 3/4 of them - plum with some yuzu-ish cream inside: this was all of our least favorite as we are not huge plum/sour fans - matcha red bean tiramisu: amazing!! it has the similarities of tiramisu with a cream top that was layered with matcha sauce, then a layer of crunchy pocky (to replace the lady fingers in a normal tiramisu) and topped (or rather bottomed) with red beans. this was my favorite of all the dishes! BREAD - sesame waffle: a good fluffy waffle that goes really well the sauces (dark chocolate syrup was our preference over the pineapple jam) - scone: paired with honey butter, my sister liked this but i felt its consistency was relatively similar to the donut we had earlier overall, i would say this is an amazing and unique tea set that you can share. it comes with a good amount and even with it all devoured, you're not overly stuffed but pretty full. and this is coming from a family that didn't have lunch before coming here and we were pretty starving. definitely come by for this afternoon tea! they also have a more traditional tea set downstairs in the intercontinental for those wishing for that as well!

I would expect superior service so this rating is for service only. On a slow weeknight as a solo diner ordered about 40 min ago without a check in. I only ordered a salad and 2 veg rolls. Disappointed and wished I would have dined elsewhere. Solo diner discrimination. 2 couples sat 20 min after me and received their first dishes. Not worth the price tag !

Not only the view of Hong Kong island but the food make this a great spot. Had a selection of want and cold dishes ranging from cod (best dish!), yellowtail, chicken to rock shrimp. Can't really go wrong here. Worth a visit.

Nobu was disappointing. We have been to several, including recently in downtown NYC. Service here was so-so. Not very attentive. Food was good but not what we think of as Nobu quality, especially the signature halapeno yellowtail, and the fatty tuna was stale tasting. View is great but overall ambiance meh. This visit was during the October long weekend and protests, maybe that affected quality. I would not return, would try Rech instead. Very odd since I think Nobu Matsuhisa was here recently. In any event, though not inexpensive, it was less disappointing than Lung King Heen.

Not impressed. Nobu Las Vegas much nicer to Americans. Had to move from lounge to dining room to get attention for food service. Ignored pretty much throughout the meal and served suspect wine. Wasn't properly offered dessert or any other offerings. Was only told about last call for food or beverages at 11p and given a bill that seemed very inflated. Traveling alone in Hong Kong not so friendly.

Went to dinner with a friend and had the set dinner menu with a bottle of white wine. We started at the bar and ordered from the great selection of Japanese whisky's. The set menu was great and tasty. Barely a complaint from my myself or my dinner partner. Can't fault the magnificent view of Hong Kong Island. Tables were spaced far enough apart to have a private conversation. Not somewhere you go often but definitely a place to experience.

My bad luck with upscale restaurants in HK continues to a set lunch at Nobu, where the setting is posh and dishes are pretty. I wasn't a fan of the Japanese tapas as they were one note and uninteresting. If I hadn't agreed to meet a friend there, I would've headed down to one of the tea houses off Nathan Road for more tasty fare.

Seriously you can't get better than Nobu... Ever. Crispy rice, black cod are my favorites. The Only thing is.. As expensive as Nobu is normally, this particular location is even higher priced. The view from the restaurant looks like it is straight out of s film. I don't know if you can beT the quality food and this view,

Upscale Japanese cuisine , great environment, look directly to the Harbour when you outside the restaurant. Nice view and good food .

Terrible service, mediocre food. The fact that it was expensive was not surprising. But it just wasn't worth it. I had to go to the host's stand to get menus and flag down a manager several times to find the waiter and get our food and drinks brought to the table. When asked to describe a few of the dishes in more detail, the waiter was unable to go beyond what was in the menu; also not helpful with recommendations. Food was thoroughly mediocre. The "Nobu Fish and Chips" was a few fishsticks that tasted of freezer burn and slightly-undercooked potato wedges. Sashimi was fine but rolls were very mediocre. Again, the prices were not surprising, but the relative value of the food and service was surprisingly poor. Would not eat there again.

Highly recommend the lunch bento box set! It's a very good deal to taste the signature dishes.

A complete sub par experience. Nobu is known globally and if you come here you know to expect the menu to be pricey so with that it is expected that you will receive in both service and food quality what you pay for. The restaurant itself is outdated, the windows are dirty so you can't truly enjoy the view of the skyline and the black cod which I usually enjoy was rough and not the same as other Nobu locations. Service was all over the place as we never truly knew who our server was and we felt rushed. With that said we had the tasting menu for our entire table and left absolutely disappointed. Will probably not be returning to another Nobu after this experience. There is by far much better food in the city to eat so don't waste your money here. You get neither food quality or dining experience by coming here.

Excellent as always, no matter where in the word you are! Incredible waitstaff. This is one pricey resto for which I am willing to shell out the bigger bucks.

Fairly disappointing. The waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable. Unfortunately both the fish and the presentation was lacking. Lots of variety but the quality just wasn't there. In the end it felt quite overpriced. I have been to several Nobu and this is definitely beneath standard. Great views of Hong Kong though.
