Nobu is our favorite restaurant in Newport Beach. We are so spoiled with great restaurants but Nobu is consistently the best. Try the Dover with lemon caper sauce topped off with crispy spinach. It’s pricey but worth every bite. The yellowtail collar is so tender and delicious. Collars are a bit messy but the best part of the fish in my opinion. Another favorite is the lobster and shrimp spicy lemon salad( it’s not spicy), just amazing. I like the yellowtail appetizer as well. If you have room for dessert, their date cake is worthy and unique. We have tried almost the entire menu and have enjoyed all items. The more traditional rolls and sashimi are not as unique as other menu items on the menu but always tasty when you crave traditional food items. We prefer sitting upstairs( quieter) on the balcony watching the boats cruise by under the heat lamps if needed. Newport’s restaurant has a great location!

Jeffery was an incredible server. They accommodated a bigger group, wonderful service from a purse holder to pulling my seat. Lovely dinner and steak and sushi was delicious. Not going to lie, we tried 13 dishes all of them were incredible! Obsessed with the ambience and so Instagram able, great for client entertaining. Inside the pendry which is nice for after drinks. 11/10 recommended!!
