Nobu - Caesars New Orleans

A Luxurious Culinary ExperienceLocated inside Caesars New Orleans, Nobu blends Japanese precision with New Orleans indulgence. Valet service was smooth, though a parade caused some delays--but the staff handled it seamlessly.Inside, the sleek black-and-gold decor, dim lighting, and refined atmosphere set the perfect tone for the night.Standout Dishes & Drinks: Drinks: A Negroni--bold and bitter, perfectly balanced--and a Lychee Martini, floral, smooth, and slightly sweet. Both were expertly crafted. Yellowtail Jalapeño Nigiri - Buttery, fresh, with a citrusy yuzu kick. Wagyu Dumplings - Crispy outside, melt-in-your-mouth richness inside. Fried Okra - A refined take on a Southern staple, crispy and addictive. Spicy Tuna Roll & Sashimi - Fresh, silky, and packed with flavor. Satandagi with Nutella Ice Cream - Warm, crispy beignets paired with creamy indulgence.From the exceptional service to the flawless execution of every dish and cocktail, Nobu New Orleans is a must-visit for a high-end dining experience. Just be mindful of parade season if you're valet parking!

I guess I was expecting the NYC experience. The food was okay, but nothing was spectacular. Service ... We waited and waited for service ... ordered martinis, got the wrong one... then waited and waited for the correct one. The bill came and was charged for 3 martinis.... Wait staff said. "Well you kept it" .... Um... I will chalk it up to being a new establishment and hoping our experience will be better next time.

I have come back with another visit to this slice of Japanese paradise in Nola. I sat at the bar and started off with the tea pot portion of sake. I cannot remember the name, but I allowed the bartender to choose my option. He was able to explain the flavor profiles and offer an option that was flowery and smooth and met my satisfaction. Similar to the other drinks, not enough to feel a hard buzz, but enough to take the edge off. The Wagyu tacos come with a hefty price tag of $18 per taco and 2 taco minimum, and you can eat them in one large bite probably...but they were incredibly delicious, tender and flavorful and I wanted 5 more!! I think this is an item that made Nobu stand out to me as a restaurant!The black cod miso was the most delicate, buttery and smooth piece of fish I think I've ever had. The flavor profile was perfectly balanced with a sweet edge. It is 100% worth the social media hype. This is another menu item that makes Nobu stand out amongst other dining restaurants, and I would recommend everyone try. The soft shell crab sushi was nice. It's not something I would order again as long as I have other things to try on the menu, however I was satisfied to have tried. I think you can get some amazing soft shell crab sushi at a number of sushi places in Nola so this wasn't unique for me. Now for the item that surprised me the most, my nightcap, the Negroni! Omg it was sooo delicious and I don't think I've ever had a Negroni. Nobu adds a twist to their Negroni by adding Saki. It was 10000% delicious and I think I will end every Nobu meal with a Negroni now.

I've always wanted to go to Nobu. Once I heard that one had recently opened in New Orleans and I was headed there soon, I knew this was my chance. First of all, the restaurant is beautiful and everything is cohesive from the decor to the staff uniforms. The colors and textures throughout the place are beautiful, even though it's located in Caesars Casino. My waiter was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu, you could tell he enjoys his job. He made some suggestions and answered my questions.I ordered the famous Black Cod with Miso, Lobster Taco and a Wagyu Beef Taco. The Black Cod is a signature item that has been marinated in miso and sake for days. The outside of the fish is almost caramelized while the inside of the fish was unbelievably buttery and flavorful. The lobster Taco was very good and fresh but the Wagyu Taco was exceptional I could have sat there and ate 20 more. Each taco had its own special sauce to complement the protein. The tacos are very small but the fish is a hearty portion. I was satisfied. I want to also mention that towards the back of the restaurant there is an open kitchen. I love an open kitchen, you can watch them prepare the food! Based on my experience I would certainly recommend for special occasions, it's gonna cost a good coin!!

Woooo. Nobu in New Orleans is one of the better locations I've been to. Pricy, but the food is delicious. Friendly and efficient service. Everyone was very knowledgeable of the menu and offerings. It was a bit loud but to be expected since it is located inside of a casino. I wish they would have had more mocktail options but the two that they had were very good and my dude enjoyed his specialty cocktails. Crispy okra - this was standard but the batter was just as described, crispy. Scallop tiradito - this dish was bright, the scallops were buttery and probably my favorite of the night.Toro Nola ($94) - this was a special and came with 6 spoons. I didn't ask for the price when they told me about it so I was a bit shook when I saw the price on the receipt. Lol. But honestly, it wasn't a big shock since the spoons came topped with caviar and gold flakes. I wish they would have offered them by the spoon bc it was too many for just the two of us. Sea bass - came with truffle but wasn't overwhelmingly truffley like other dishes I've had before. The fish was flaky and cooked well. Lamb chops ($24/chop) - overcooked. We asked for medium rare and it came out well done. I didn't eat it, but my guy said it was okay for being well. Eggplant miso - I love eggplant and this dish came out piping hot. It's different than their black cod miso bc it's obviously their vegetarian version, but it comes with a spicy version of the miso paste. It was perfectly cooked. Desserts were the star of the whole dinner. We ordered 4 desserts and every single one was a hit. Matcha ice cream, which seems really basic but was delicious. Cappuccino miso. A dessert sando with kiwi and cream filling and soursop shiso sorbet on the side. The soursop sorbet was so good and I would just order a cup of that if I could. Our last dessert was so cute. It came with a sugar dome that you had to crack to get to the rest of the dessert.

Service is amazing! We had reservations and were quickly seated once we arrived. The waitress was pleasant, knowledgeable, and informative. We were celebrating a birthday weekend and opted for the chef's choice of menu items. We were served about 9 courses and then dessert. It was a mixture of fish, crispy okra to start, beef, and crab. For two people with a 20% gratuity, our bill was almost $500 and only one alcoholic beverage was ordered which was their signature Old Fashioned. We dine out at many places often and I can honestly say it is very much overpriced and overrated. While it was tasty and the service was impeccable, I've had better for far less. For context, we dined at La Boca Steak restaurant with 3 cocktails, 4 sides, 4 steaks, and an appetizer (4 people dining) and our bill was $200 less with gratuity than it was at Nobu last night.Lastly, there were limited restrooms that weren't that clean. There were 2 unisex single restrooms and always a line and a wait to use them. There was nothing special mentioned regarding the birthday and were asked a ton of questions about preferences such as exquisite taste like octopus or scallops and we didn't receive any in our chef's selections. I honestly don't recall all the items we had but it certainly didn't seem like $500 worth. I'm open to going back and trying some other items that we select. By the way, in celebration for his birthday, La Boca gave us the dessert on the house. There was also a period of time when we weren't attended to but I can honestly say the food kept coming and it was all very good.

I still agree with everything I said in my original review but I recently went back and just wanted to do an update because my experience was a little different this time. This time I was only with a party of 2 but somehow I was still told to wait at the bar when I arrived despite having a reservation. The tables for smaller parties aren't nearly as chic as it was last time when I was with a large group. We were in the middle of the dining area and the music was really loud from the outside casino area and we were really close to another table. We ordered the yellow tail jalapeño, the spicy edamame, rock shrimp and tiradito to start. The tiradito looked slightly different from my last dining experience but it was still good nevertheless. We ordered Cod as one of our entrees and about 10 minutes later our server came back and said they were out of it and would we like to order anything else. We said give us a few minutes and we ended up ordering the gambas al ajillo to replace it and then we were told they were out of that was well. Dot dot dot... why not tell us everything that was out before leaving us to browse the menu? But we ended up getting the prime beef again and the Parmesan truffle rice. It was good but it was disappointing that they were out of two entrees we wanted. We got the banana soy toban for dessert. The server told me they would put a candle in it because we were celebrating a birthday but the dessert came out without a candle and she was no where to be found. So, the food we had was good but just wanted to do a little update

We had a great experience. We didn't have a reservation and it was Super Bowl week so we sat at the bar. The food was super delicious. We can't wait to go back. Everything is has its own unique flavor to die for.

OMG the food was sooooo incredible. Every single thing we got was so delish. Yes it's expensive. Know that going in and accept it. We got many dishes. Both of our tops was a salmon dish Salmon with Karashi Su Miso - GET THIS! Such an interesting flavor profile. Steak was top notch. Lychee mocktail was a flavor explosion in a good wayJalepeno yellowtail incredible Tuna tataki YUM!!Service was great, steady flow. The truffle wasabi ceasar salad was soooo good. Vibes were great. Least fave but still delish- rock shrimpI legit wish I was rich so I could eat here weekly. I get why the kardashians got it so much now!!!
