Nobu Newport Beach Reviews
this was my first time here and i thought it was great.
i consistently think about how good the white fish with dry miso dish was. the service was great and they were very accommodating to any dietary restrictions. we sat upstairs but seemed like a cool vibe downstairs with a dj. would love to sit outside
I didn't get what the hype was about until I tried it! Nobu
I didn't get what the hype was about until I tried it! Nobu is delicious, period. Their service was great and you can't beat the location/seating in Lido. Everything I've had there was to die for and delicious! Highly recommend, can�

Nobu is a vibe! My bf took me here for my birthday and we had a great time. The service was amazing and the food was all pretty good. We got the famous yellowtail carpaccio and that might be my favorite dish of the night. Their nigiri wasn't gre
Either you love sushi or you don't! I enjoy sushi, however
Either you love sushi or you don't! I enjoy sushi, however Nobu is overrated & overpriced. Here in Newport Beach, CA (Lido Marina Village) this location is very crowded, which has an impact on their service. The ambiance is aesthetically
Unfortunately what use to be the go to place in Newport Beach has now become quite an average experience
Very average experience… Not the premium experience you would expect. Servers were monotone and inattentive. The parking was a joke $45 for each couple at our table with a dinner bill of over $900. $10 comp by Nobu
I wanted to like this place a little more.
After hearing about Nobu for years, I decided to finally come here for a birthday meal to celebrate. I knew that the prices may not give you the best value for your money, but I was willing to splurge. The server was fabulous, and service was not an

Yellow tail jalapeños with cilantro - love this dish.
It is heavy on the lemon/lime so if sour isn't your thing you may not like it. Or ask for ponzu sauce on the side Black code miso - flavorful and delicious Albacore Meyer lemon- fun dish with fun decor Squid "pasta" - imagine squ

Oh my god.

Food is really good every time we come and eat here.
Service is has been on point since me and my cousin have been coming. Good environment all around. Dj always playing some good vibes.

My boyfriend and I came here for my birthday and both of us were so disappointed with the service. Gilberto was our server and was very unhelpful and uninterested completely ruined our experience. We will not be coming back.

Been to several of them now but specifically the Newport location always impresses! From the GM, to management, chefs, and the servers, everyone is locked in and provides an amazing experience. The food always is so fresh and delicious. Bring some fr

I paid for my son and his gf for a special occasion.
They were so excited to go. They enjoyed the experience and the food. They ordered the Wagyu beef and said it wasn't good. The next day they were both very ill all day from the food. I contacted them to let them know and the manager was like I w

Our waitress was nice.
Food was okay. But they put our to go bag ($500+) on the floor. What?! Never this place again. Rather go to cheesecake. Bad etiquette and unhygienic...from your fav nurse.
first time here and i honestly didn't get the hype.
we came during happy hour (which was only like 10 items) and we ordered a few things. we started with the bao buns (heard they were new) and they were okay and probably wouldn't get again. 6/10. for my drink i got the strawberry yuzu calpico moc

Consistently good.
dressy casual, nice vibe (a bit dark), wait staff could be a bit more attentive (water refill), but were friendly. Normal Nobu menu, and Nobu buzz. Yes Nobu standards and pricey, but quality is good. Make a reservation well in advance.
Great time
Always hesitant to go the chain route over a small family owned place. But this is a great location right on the harbor and our server was on the ball and attentive. We had several things from the miso cod lettuce wraps to the scallop sashimi. Als
10/10 experience
Beautiful view. Service was perfect. Drinks & food was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy another dinner.
Finally what is all the hype about???
Newport beach is awesome, very nice clean town, very boujee people all around, Nobu no different. What this means is if YOU are not boujee, then service not so good, money is the same and for the price?????? would rather have Sushi else where, drinks
As Usual, Nobu Does Not Disappoint
Nobu never disappoints. While the menu is the same from Nobu to Nobu....it is wonderful. Service was very good. People watching was great. If you have not been before...listen to the server. Let them guide you from start to finish. You cannot g

Terrible! Not even one Hour after sitting having lunch - the hostess came up and brought the check asking us we need to leave because she needs the table for a new guest. While we are still drinking- spent over $300 among 2 people. Hostess need to
Delicious. Worth a visit.
I really don't get the bad reviews. The food is yes, pricey. Duh, it's Nobu. WIth that being said - nobody wants to be taken for a fool. However, I've eaten at this location multiple times and every single time the food is a hit. We on
First and last time
Terrible sushi and overall a poor dining experience. Made a reservation for birthday and got stuck in a stuffy deck corner. Food was hit or miss, sushi was a miss. Don’t fall for their “tastings” and let them pick for you.. $600+ later and th

The most basic over priced sushi I've ever had.
Quality was fine but the dishes were not even worth noting. Great view of the water though. Also did not get a second date with the girl.
Ruined My Fiance's birthday.
Very disappointed. I told the waiter and wrote in the open table app it was my Fiances birthday. They sat us with a fabulous view of the harbor gave us water and never came back. After 30 minutes I had to ask a bus boy to find our waiter so we could

Connect with users posting reservations for Nobu Newport Beach
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Nobu Newport Beach. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Nobu Newport Beach at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Nobu Newport Beach page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Nobu Newport Beach to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Nobu Newport Beach!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
