Nobu Palo Alto Reviews from The Last Year
Don't come with the expectations of being full as the
Don't come with the expectations of being full as the portions of Nobu are what is expected for a high class Japanese restaurant. They do offer an excellent dining experience with amazing presentations to their food. We went for dinner and we got the earliest reservations as I saw that they have slots for the hour. One thing they mention when you do go, is that they will need the table back an hour and 45 mins for the next slot of reservations. The food was very good but portions are smaller than regular sized food. The price is also similar to what you would expect for a sophisticated restaurant. Definitely a place for special occasion as the atmosphere was very elegant and sophisticated, while most were dressed for the occasion. The food that we ordered: Tai Agave (5/5): very fresh and great pairings with garnish they place on tip Brussel Sprouts (3/5): sauce was overpowering as the taste could get a little heavy Rock Shrimp Ceviche (4/5): great appetizer to start with as it has bursting citrus flavors Wagyu Tacos (3/5): meat was very tender and juicy but for the price to size I would not order again NY Steak (5/5): cooked rare medium, sauce was amazing and the portion was great! Toro & Scallion Roll (3/5): nothing really too special, a bit overpriced if you ask me Bento Box Dessert (4/5): from pictures it looked a little bland but the matcha gelato was to die for! Xurro (3/5): I didn't really like it as the strawberry filling was a bit too sweet for me
We came here for my husband's birthday dinner.
It felt stuffy and a the hostess was a bit rude when we arrived. The sushi is very very delicious but not sure I would say it's worth the high prices. I would give it another chance though.
Came to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday.
The service was amazing. Our waitress constantly checked in to make sure that we didn't need anything. The food was delicious. In addition to what's pictured we also had the ribeye, rock shrimp tempura, and the house roll. We sat at a table that was right near the outdoor seating so that we were still inside but had the view/ambiance of the outdoor seating. It was all fantastic.
We got the yellowtail sashimi jalapeno, wagyu tacos,
We got the yellowtail sashimi jalapeno, wagyu tacos, rockshrimp tempura, soft shell crab roll, and house special roll. Everything was super fresh. Wagyu melted in the mouth and was my favorite. Both sushi rolls looked beautiful and you could taste the simplicity and freshness of the ingredients. Rockshrimp tempura was crispy and not overly oily. The food is delicious and the flavors are simple. It's quite expensive and I think there are restaurants of equal quality for cheaper. Either way, I enjoyed dining here.
The service and food was amazing.
We ordered several things off the menu but the standouts to me were the jalapeño hamachi, crispy rice spicy tuna bites and the salmon nigiri. I am obsessed with the cocktail I got- grapefruit on the rocks- light and refreshing! The fish is incredibly fresh and high quality. We sat outside which was nice to enjoy a summer evening but it is on the busy street. I recommend eating inside- it looked beautiful and air conditioned.
Great food.
Service and food timing wasn't great. Been here quite a few times now. We like to order hot dishes individually as entrees. Some hot dishes came out very quickly. But other hot dishes on came out after the first people were already done with their entrees. Timing was very off, and this has happened quite a few times.
I took my mother here for her birthday and even though we
I took my mother here for her birthday and even though we didn't have a reservation, we were able to be seated immediately at the bar, which was really nice! Service was quick and we got our food really quick. The rolls were delicious and very fresh, we got some spicy tuna rolls. They are smaller than regular sushi restaurants I go to, but I figured that was going to be the case. The restaurant is beautiful and it was great sitting at the bar and watching them make the sushi rolls! I would definitely come here the next time I have a special occasion.
Food was delicious, Nobu black cod is their signature dish.
It was very good. But I did a version which I thought was better. Service was very good. Ambiance is simple, clean and neat.
Not bad, not bad at all! While on the steeper side, many
Not bad, not bad at all! While on the steeper side, many groups come for special occasions, just like my group of pals from our local gardening association. Our service was very forgiving, especially giving that we're a group of old coots who can hardly read the menu. Our waiter was brisk but never rude, I can understand that with such a busy atmosphere, you always have to be on your toes!
My husband and I had a great dinner here a fewl tja ago.
We thought the food was well prepared ams fresh so we offer the opportunity for my daughter to have her birthday here with a few friends. For my daughters birthday I asked the person taking my reservations for indoor seating, she told me she could accompdate if we came later at 7:45. We arrived and were seated outside: or as the hostest said "it's half indoor and outdoor" Totally deceiving / questionable intergrity. In this bubble and business is just collecting money. There is no integrity It gets cold outside and is not an enjoyable experience when you are shivering eating dinner .
Super relaxing room and amazing breakfast
Just stayed 3 days for graduation weekend and loved my stay - an oasis of calm in a busy weekend. Service was great - I loved the Toto toilet and amenities. Room was super comfortable and quiet with cool shades and settings to get the right lighting. Internet was fast. Only complaint was the sub par (and overheated) gym - minor but they could do better. Restaurant was great too. I'd throw in a few sparkling waters for free for the price as a suggestion - annoying to get charged at the minibar after paying over 800 a night.
Amazing Unforgettable Experience!!
Nobu restaurant has amazing food and great staff! Food-Are so unforgettable all the food just melts in your mouth can’t get enough of those yummy flavors! The restaurants overall are beautiful Inside. We can't wait to go back and be there next time to their Garden patio just to enjoy the weather, beautiful view, food & drink.
lovely hotel
Very nicely appointed rooms, but you must be interested in minimalism and Zen. Massive television great for watching movies. Clean and good service. The bathroom seemed a bit small for the size of the room but was adequate. A great respite in Palo Alto.
Most luxurious work trips ever
Elegant decor, very clean rooms, fluffy towels, comfy beds, friendly staff and a very safe building. There’s also a Nespesso maker and a fantastic iron tea pot in every room! I’ve stayed at Nobu twice on business trips and will absolutely be back. Nobu is close to Stanford and there are a lot of wonderful shops and restaurants within walking distance. The rooms are incredibly quiet. I’ve never heard another guest’s shower, hair dryer, TV, etc. The equipment in the fitness center is all very well maintained and kept clean and tidy. The staff have been very helpful and accommodating on both trips. In February my flight home was delayed and they let me stay in my room until noon. In April my flight arrived early and they were able to check me in midday.
They never answered the phone.
While the original location on New your did, during the same time period. The MAnager inNew York told me to look at the Palo Alsto web-site.
Had a chance to visit Nobu for a friend's birthday and
Had a chance to visit Nobu for a friend's birthday and overall it was an okay experience. Given how famous Nobu is I was excited to try it, and worth trying once if you want the experience. This place is certainly fancy and ambiance was nice. Service was also top notch and folks did come back to check in on us multiple times. Once we were seated of course I was excited to try the food. We tried: * yellowtail sashimi - this was delicious and buttery, you could tell the fish was really fresh *Salmon sashimi - this came with a really yummy sauce that I really enjoyed *mushroom soup - this was light and refreshing but nothing spectacular * rock shrimp tempura with aioli sauce - this was yummy and the quality of shrimp was good. However nothing I haven't had before * miso cod - this was really yummy and well made, everyone enjoyed this * seabass tacos - these were extremely small but they were tasty, but I wouldn't say worth $10/taco * strip steak with veggies - this was really yummy and well made, our group gobbled this up! * brussel sprouts - this was yummy and enjoyed how crispy they were *shrimp tempura roll - this was yummy and standard, enjoyed this though *chocolate cake with matcha ice cream - this was yummy and there was gooey chocolate coming out of the cake which made it fun. Matcha ice cream had strong flavor so get if you enjoy matcha Overall decent experience!

First time here and I loved it! Food was phenomenal and service was really good too! Definitely coming back.

Ordered a tea set for 3 and nobu does a great job with their ambience and customer service. I loved every dish the came out and really enjoyed pairing it with the tea. I didn't care too much about the dessert jelly, but can definitely see others enjoying it. The downside to the tea set is that there isn't enough to make you full. The tea set here really is a snack, not a meal.
Get the nogiri and sashimi!!! So fresh and good.
Dont waste your money on the rock shrimp tempura
Beautiful food, beautiful restaurant, but I agree with the
Beautiful food, beautiful restaurant, but I agree with the other reviews about it being overpriced. We got the $150 omakase and left still hungry.
WOW! We came on a Friday with no reservation and were
WOW! We came on a Friday with no reservation and were seated immediately at the sushi bar. The lychee martinis are a must! The sushi bar was amazing!! I am new to sashimi and our chef was amazing in creating dishes for us to try. The servers were amazing, and the ambience was incredible. Worth every penny.
Amazing food, really enjoyed the yellowtail and salmon cold
Amazing food, really enjoyed the yellowtail and salmon cold dishes. Would recommend sitting at the sushi bar and watching the chefs prepare the food. Can't wait to come back and try more of their food soon.
I was referred to Nobu in Las Vegas.
I just never went, until now. The original Iron Chef Japan, Masaharu Morimoto was an apprentice in New York under Nobu Matsuhisa. And I know Morimoto is currently at Morimoto Napa right now. I'm aware, that some people out there from New Jersey flew to Vegas for a week to be at Morimoto Las Vegas. I liked some of the movies from Robert De Niro. Everybody knows about the Nobu at Caesars Palace. Since I'm catching up on a lot of work here, I wanted to get a reservation in Palo Alto. I didn't know reservations required a bank card or credit card and a charge incur for no-shows. I used a debit card this time, and it went through. There's nothing inexpensive about this business lunch. It's on another echelon. I always wanted to be here. I wouldn't take just anybody here. I must say the neighborhood is quite good. I didn't think some angel investors would frequent here, but they do. This is my first time here. It was somewhat tight in there again. I know omakase is the newest trend, but I like to choose my selection. I started out with their famous Black Cod with Miso. Then I went in with the nigiri. Bigeye Tuna, Fluke, Snapper, Ikura, and Tamago. The Tamago was like a cloud, perfectly executed. Now this is a sushi spread. Can't forget about dessert. Bento Box. Valrhona Dark Chocolate Souffle Cake, Imperial Matcha Gelato, and Fresh Berries. That Souffle was the best Souffle I ever had. I also knew I had to get the Black Orchid Tea, it had a very distinct floral note. Everything was spectacular. This definitely not going to be my last time here.
I've always wanted to try Nobu and I finally decided to try
I've always wanted to try Nobu and I finally decided to try it for my birthday dinner. The service was beyond perfect. Andy was our waiter and he was very attentive the entire night and wow the presentation of the menu on his behalf was impressive especially because it was our first visit here. Marcos was also very attentive with removing plates and making room for other dishes, our water glasses were never empty! I do have to say that I am very thankful for Curtis for making my birthday night extra special with the amazing drinks! Thank you Nobu Palo Alto, we will definitely be back again! Can't wait to rave about you to fam and friends! Lyz
Phenomenal experience at Nobu Palo Alto! Fantastic FOH team.
Really wish I remembered our servers name. He was amazing! As were the runners and gal who reset the table after a few courses had come through. Very accommodating after making a mistake on my part thinking my reservation was at 5:30 and arriving at 5:35, found out they were for 5pm. Thank you and sorry to the foh manager on that night that accepted us still! Lychee elderflower Martini! Not a martini guy. But this right here was amazing! Big shout out to the kitchen team! Chef Ryan, Marcus, Rahul, and John! This place is a wonderfully run operation from the curb to the foh and boh teams. You can really sense a special camaraderie happening here, be it you catch them before a service is due to begin to a fully packed floor , this whole team works with such beautiful chemistry and to watch that flow and see their success is something special everyone should experience at least once in a lifetime. Cheers to you Nobu Palo Alto! And here's to many more times we will spend together!
Back to the four seasons !!!
Not as good as the restaurant! Check in they had the wrong room class. And the wrong length of stay. Waited two hours for them to fix. Then, no electric plugs near the bed. I have a sleep apnea machine that needs a plug! So have to ask for an extension cord. Wait for that. Then install it. It will run from the far side of the room to power the sleep machine. Hope I don’t trip on it in the night! NOT a premium place. Although the staff are very nice.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
