Exceptional experience! Every course was incredible and noteworthy, and each bite was made with care. I will be dreaming about the sardines, unagi, and red snapper bone broth until we get a chance to go back. I also loved the omakase experience and getting to talk with the chefs as they worked. A great place to celebrate a special birthday!

It was delicious and unique. I’ve never eaten Uni like this. Wasabi is used in most courses, be warned. A true STL gem, uniquely intimate with only 6 seats at the sushi bar. It’s just you, Chef Nobu and his wife, son, and a server Emma. Service was impeccable. Wine pairing was a plus. Reserve ahead!

What an exceptional dining experience, made truly memorable by fresh, high-quality ingredients and a fantastic set menu that highlights the best of the season. Each course was beautifully prepared by Chef Nobu himself, who was warm, personable, and engaging throughout the meal. His attention to detail and passion for the craft made the evening feel special and intimate. The service team was equally outstanding and were attentive, friendly, and thoughtful from start to finish. Altogether, it was an amazing and unforgettable evening that perfectly blended incredible food with genuine hospitality. Be sure to make reservations!

This was the most unique dining experience I have had. The setting felt very exclusive. The food was all very good, and even fish I had tried before and disliked at other places was very good. The food was fresh, and we left feeling satisfied but not stuffed.

One of the best places I've ever eaten and worth every penny. We went for the 3 course option for our anniversary. They wished us a happy anniversary and even brought us both a complimentary glass of prosecco! The food was extremely high quality and prepared perfectly. The service was flawless. Just perfect for our special occasion. 😊
