Nobu Lana'i

The food is delicious, as usual (Nobu fans will be happy). The service is generally great. The bar service is much more casual and not as attentive as the table seating. Orders are coursed out nicely, so food comes out continuously and you’re never overwhelmed with too much at once. The Teppanyaki Omakase and regular Omakase are both fantastic experiences! The views of the bay and the hotel gardens are lovely.

Update: The restaurant got a hold of us through open table to confirm a reservation. The food is really good, the service is great, and the experience at the restaurant is overall really nice. The manager Carlos was very welcoming and the waitress Erica was amazing. Glad We were able to go to this restaurant. Backstory: I have tried for several days to get ahold of this restaurant to book a reservation and haven't been able to get ahold of anyone. I called the 4 seasons directly and was told that I would need a manager's approval to get make a reservation since we weren't going to be staying there.They said the staff would call me back if they have the time. Still haven't received a call back. Really bummed, this looked like a nice restaurant to try. Way to make locals feel welcomed.

Service is painfully slow, but maybe they were understaffed today. My table, and others, waited several minutes to talk to our waiter to place any order or add on any item. However, my star rating has nothing to do with service. And they were kind enough to comp dessert because we were celebrating our babymoon - at Sensei, so they let them know here :) The fish / seafood is decent, everything else is mediocre at best. Ordered the whitefish, salmon, and tuna tacos. The tuna tacos were the best of the three, but overall the dish wasn't special enough for me to want any more pieces. The Brussel sprouts were pretty good. Nice crisp and sauce. The shrimp tempura was the best item we tried here, and the creamy spicy sauce is the way to go (although they let you try both). The 48 hour braised teriyaki glazed short ribs tasted like a low quality American BBQ meat. And the crispy rice with spicy tuna is a waste of good tuna. Hard to taste that delicious Hawaiian tuna taste, and the crispy rice was nothing special. The shave ice has passion fruit syrup I thing? Not sure, but I feel like that is a polarizing choice of syrup. They were kind enough to put the coconut sorbet on the side as it had rum and my partner doesn't drink. They replaced it with vanilla ice cream in the shave ice. The coconut sorbet is decent, but I personally didn't like the rum taste within it. Overall, I did not like this dessert at all because of the passionfruit taste. However, I don't like passionfruit, so if you do, maybe you'd enjoy this dessert. The texture of the shave ice is nothing special, the dedicated shave ice spots on other islands do it so much better. All in all, I would not dine here again and would tell others to avoid it, or at least only stick with seafood, and avoid the crispy rice tuna. But I'd still rather go to Lanai City Grill and enjoy their incredible tuna tostada I did dine at Sensei by Nobu and overall it was a better experience, and the lamb chop there was divine. Though the rest of the dishes were nothing special. But at least the price was better. Although Sensei has far fewer seafood options

Food was delicious, esp. teriyaki short ribs. Service was great

The ambiance is 5 stars! Service was 5 stars but the food was disappointing. The crispy shiitake salad tasted burnt. The short ribs were not very tasty. The Brussels sprouts were good. The unagi was the worst I’ve had and tiny for $11 a piece. Overrated! $200 and I left hungry.

Not the best sushi in the world. Classic for Nobu. The views are amazing though and the staff very friendly.

Had amazing dinners including the omakase! Nobu Omakase Course 1 sushi trio: Kampachi / Bluefin tuna with caviar and gold flakes/ New style salmon sashimi Course 2: Ahi tuna salad - Matsuhisa dressing so good onion Course 3: Crab/ King salmon/ Thai Snapper /Otoro Course 4: Lobster tempura with Yuzu sauce or spicy sauce Course 5: Wagyu with lava rock Miso soup Dessert: Sub zero (ice cream in fruit sauce)

We flew to Lānaʻi from Oʻahu for a one-night getaway and had dinner at Nobu. The staff were absolutely wonderful—so kind and attentive—and the setting was gorgeous, making it feel like a really special date night. The only reason I’m leaving this review is to warn others about the Banana Toban Yaki dessert. It was delicious, but it came out extremely hot, and we weren’t warned beforehand. My partner luckily took a small bite and was fine, but I wasn’t as lucky. I burned the entire inside of my mouth, and it was painful that night and into the next day, with peeling inside my mouth and on my tongue. (I included a photo of my burnt and peeling tongue, although not pretty, to help paint the picture of my experience so other guests can avoid harm from the high temperature dishes.) It’s such a disappointing way to end an otherwise great dinner. I really hope the restaurant starts letting guests know about how hot the dessert is—it would easily prevent something like this from happening again.

Impeccable service and brilliant dishes! And the views weren't so bad either 😁 Our server, Erika, was so sweet and thoughtful, and very efficient! Chef Tex is rocking the kitchen with such creative offerings using local ingredients 😋 I love visiting Nobu restaurants and trying their specials, as well as the Nobu classics 😋 Chef Tex's specials were outstanding! Dreaming about visiting again soon 💫🤞🏻💫

Five star for the flavors, service and ambiance! Less than five stars for the very small amount of tasty food and the very high cost. Seems like they might have more repeat business if the cost equaled the quantity served. I would not be surprised to spend many hundreds of dollars for two persons to actually feel satisfied. It’s too bad because the small ‘snacks’ are incredibly delicious! Make reservations, only open for dinner and bring a bank roll!
