    Nobu is undoubtedly one of my top three restaurants, and I must say the experience was absolutely beautiful. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, and the service is attentive without being overwhelming. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, perfectly balanced, and a true reflection of culinary excellence. It’s more than just a meal, it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be visiting again when I’m back in Cape Town.

    The restaurant looks so much better after the revamp. Food was usual good Nobu fare. The menu appears to have been reduced but most of the Nobu regulars are still there.

    The food was ok, not wow for the price. Table location was not nice at all. My wife and I came for our anniversary but were squeezed onto a 2 seater between 2 very busy and noisy tables. We couldn’t even talk to each properly.

    Excellent food but extremely expensive for the portion sizes, also the 2 hours turning tables is not conducive to enjoying the experience and the food. Tables also a little too close together, preferred the previous layouts
