    We went for the Valentine’s Day tasting experience. We have previously done the tasting menu at this location. Both the service and food were very disappointing compared to our last visit. There were several bizarre menu offerings which simply did not taste good. We waited for extended amounts of time between courses. The ambiance was lovely but the overall experience just was not worth the large bill. We are not planning on going back.

    The flavors that you will enjoy in Nobu's dishes are so unique, especially the miso cod which is their signature dish. Service is excellent, food is excellent and atmosphere quiet and unassuming.

    Nobu DC was incredible, I made reservations to surprise my s/o for his 30th birthday and the experience exceeded my expectations. Our server was knowledgeable, kind, and agile. The ambiance was perfect and the complementary celebratory dessert was perfect. We will definitely be returning in the future.

    We were seated under a loud music speaker in the ceiling. We asked for rice but it was not brought to the table until most of the courses were eaten. Portions were shared among the five of us; it was like series of tidbits. The waiter did not help much in guiding us. Compared to Matsuhisa in Aspen this was a disappointment.
