Nobu Intercontinental Hong Kong

The restaurant is located in a great spot, offering an unbeatable view from the window seating. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food was made with fresh ingredients, but it was only average compared to other places. Unfortunately, there were no standout dishes in the entire Grandmakase menu.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere with friendly staff who can accommodate all allergies. We tried the Nobu signature tasting menu and their summer omakase. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a wonderful Japanese meal and an amazing experience.

The restaurant offers a stunning view overlooking Victoria Harbour. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. We tried the traditional washing tea set, which was reasonably priced. The green tea offered was also very good.

I was staying at the Intercontinental and decided to come down and check out their happy hour specials on offer from 6-8pm. It seemed like not everyone knew about it, because they had to check if it was happening and gave me the wrong menu. I started with the Tonimomo which was very good and then the Matsuei Sour, which was more sweet than sour. I also tried the grilled shishito peppers and the sashimi tacos. The grilled peppers were fantastic, the tacos were okay. The menu is very limited and a little pricey for what you get. Honestly, come for dinner but do happy hour in the hotel lobby. It's at the same time and the menu is much larger and everything is at the same price point.

Finally get the chance to write this review as I was very determined to do so someday after I get home. THE MIX. There were five of us. We were sat next to the window facing the great views over the harbour. A bit on the bright side during Sunday afternoon so lowering some blinds would help. Food was good, but just as expected. Good portions (varieties) to fill us up. I’ll let the attached photos speak for themselves. The setting and deco looks odd. Round tables are not common in Japanese cuisine. When we were seated, the table was plain bare no utensils, plate, glass when we sat down. Felt like we sat in between someone setting up a table in a rush dim sum restaurant – in a supposedly Japanese restaurant lacking details. THE BAD. What was upsetting was, the afternoon set was supposed to come with drinks. We were chatting a bit and became thirsty. Noticing our drinks somehow took an extended amount of time to arrive and there was nothing on our table, so we’ve asked the waitress can we have some water please. Waitress asked us whether we wanted sparkling and we promptly said no, just regular water. She then brought us bottled Fiji water inside a metallic container, then we realize we are going to get charge an unknown amount for it (approx. HKD$120 for a 1L). The price was not written in their menu and the waitress also failed to inform us of the charge. My complaint in form of a question is, a restaurant that charges 300+/person seriously can’t even afford to give out some very basic water to a customer like any restaurant would? No matter how good that afternoon tea was, it left us with a sour taste and a terrible impression. I don’t care what the norm in HK is, it just shows poor hospitality, poor taste, poor gesture and they would like their customers to just suck it up. The food was good; but NOBU has lost all their points to their greediness and cheapness – that’s all I can remember whenever someone asked me about the experience.
