Nobu London

"Upstairs in the Metropolitan Hotel, London's original Nobu is still a celebrity haunt -- despite the departure of some of the fickle fashion crowd to the louder, flashier Nobu Berkeley." Full review

"Redefines the concept of international restaurant chains…this is the destination venue for well heeled Japanese foodies who don’t mind ‘time slot’ attitude."

"At times it’s been more famous for its celebrity diners than its food, but it’s also a benchmark for quality."

"London’s first branch of Nobu (there’s a second on Berkeley Square) is still a heavyweight on the Japanese dining scene." Full review

"The flavours are unique, the combinations wholly complementary and the ingredients top-notch - it's little wonder the dishes have been plagiarised across the city." Full review

"The "stunning" selection of "pricey" Japanese-Peruvian dishes – "blackened cod is the signature for good reason" – "cannot be faulted for consistency" at this iconic venue in the Metropolitan Hotel." Full review

"Rob a bank on the way as it's bloody expensive!"

"Nobu dining room offers a chic sushi bar, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of Hyde Park...elegant space features light woods and natural stone, which reflect the purity of Japanese design." Full review

"It retains a certain exclusivity and is buzzy and fun. The menu blends modern Japanese cuisine with South American influences." Full review
