I have to give props to the service staff - they really try very hard and are earnest in giving their best service, but it felt like a culinary school student service. At these prices, a bit of a grift.
Add to that, the food is TERRIBLE. I have a feeling the local ramen shop nearby might serve better flavoured food!
we were here for 2 dinners in a row, the 2nd one out of convenience, not choice. the food was absolutely disappointing for Nobu. Seasoning was off and most dishes were all one-note: too sour, too bland, or too spicy - none were flavourful. It's like the chef forgot how to salt his food and he didn't taste anything he was sending out.
On the first dinner we had the four hands omakase, which came up to about 700 USD for 2 people.
I have also just come from Tokyo a week ago - sad to say any train station sushi restaurant in japan at $20 is miles better than this overpriced food. Mr Nobu should be ashamed.
I came back for a quick meal which was the 2nd dinner for the convenience as I was staying here at the hotel, got the classic miso ceviche, black cod, rice, and a simple mushroom soup - thought how bad could it be. These are classics, you can't mess them up. I was wrong.
Ceviche was overly tart and sour, tigre de leche was not present as it was some kind of lime juice with and no flavour - except of raw fish dipped in plain old lime juice. I added my own salt so I could eat it, otherwise I couldn't.
Mushroom soup was very tasteless too and was like water. Boiled mushrooms in water. Again I added my own salt to get through the meal.
Finally the miso black cod - at the price of 240 PLN, which was US$60, it was ridiculous quality for the price. it was rubbery, with a slightly burnt skin, and without the flambe mirin sake flavour for a miso black cod. It was also an overly sweet piece of fish. I couldn't finish it and only ate half of it.
My total bill for this "quick fool proof" dinner was over 500PLN for 1 person.
Totally not worth it.
Please improve the cooking in the kitchen and taste your food before you send it out.
Just very disappointing.
Additionally for the hotel, I had to ring multiple times to ask for shaver, toothbrush, and some coffee capsules, but They do not pick up the phone, I had to go to the front desk to ask for these items, and even then, it was not sent up, and I had to make another trip down to the front desk to ask.
This is totally not a luxury hotel vibe at all.
Don't stay here, the brand does not reflect the...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting Nobu Hotel’s bar in Warsaw, a place renowned for its exquisite dining and drinking experiences. The highlight of my visit was trying the Oni Negroni, a signature cocktail that promised a unique twist on the classic drink. The ambiance of the bar, which shares its space with the restaurant, set a sophisticated and welcoming tone for the evening.
Upon ordering the Oni Negroni, I was surprised to see it served pre-mixed from a single bottle, rather than being crafted on the spot. While the cocktail itself was delicious, this presentation somewhat diminished the bespoke experience I had anticipated, especially in a setting known for its culinary and mixological artistry. Additionally, this approach left me questioning whether the drink contained the specific alcohols mentioned on the menu, an important aspect of transparency and trust.
Another point of note was the music volume within the restaurant and bar area. Although the selection was enjoyable and added to the ambiance, it was played at a volume that made conversation challenging. This aspect could detract from the overall experience for guests looking to enjoy their meals and drinks in a more serene atmosphere.
I understand the rationale behind pre-mixed cocktails for consistency and efficiency, particularly during busy periods. However, witnessing the skillful preparation of a signature drink is part of the charm and appeal of visiting an establishment like Nobu Hotel Warsaw.
In conclusion, my experience with the Oni Negroni at Nobu Hotel was overall enjoyable, and I offer this feedback with the hope that it is received as constructive. Enhancing the drink preparation process and adjusting the music volume could elevate the overall guest experience, aligning it more closely with the high standards associated with the Nobu brand. I look forward to revisiting and experiencing the continuous refinement that Nobu...
Read moreUpdate: went back tonight and complained about how bad the cocktails were last night, so I tried 2 new cocktails and asked them to make it right. The two new cocktails were SO MUCH better. There’s actually alcohol in the cocktails (which validates how the two drinks I had last night were completely unacceptable). They also clarified me that roughly half of the cocktails on the menu are premixed on site. If you’re spending 60-70 pln, shouldn’t you expect your cocktails to be made fresh?
This is the worst nice restaurant I’ve ever been to in my whole life, and trust me, I travel for work so I eat out a lot. Food wasn’t good, service sucked, and the price was unjustifiable.
I had been to Nobu in NYC before, so I thought I knew what to expect (good enough food that is a little expensive but the service and vibe would make up for it), but here, the food was just okay, and very disappointing for the price. The cocktails were unacceptably watered down and not even good. I don’t drink much, but how am I completely sober after 2 cocktails? Might as well call them mocktails, but they’re not even tasty! I’m incredibly upset at how watered down the cocktails were. It’s actually pretty shocking how bad and overpriced this place is. At least the food and drinks in Nobu NYC were good, but Nobu Warsaw costs the same (in Poland!) for worse food and drinks with less trendy decor. Absolutely unforgivable. I can’t believe I ate there. The number of one star reviews speak for the quality of...
