Meal
OVERVIEW
Dining at NOBU NYC was nothing short of unforgettable. This wasn’t just a meal—it was a thrilling, safe, seven-course mystery feast that redefined what dining with food allergies could be. Debra had experienced NOBU in Arizona and assured me I was in for a treat, but nothing could prepare me for how extraordinary it actually was. With a thorough chat with our server about our allergies, sensitivities, and general food preferences, we handed the menu reins over to the chef. The result? Every dish was a surprise and an explosion of flavors, meticulously prepared to be safe and unbelievably delicious. Each plate was a work of art, and the anticipation of not knowing what would come next added to the thrill. From start to finish, our server’s attention to detail was outstanding. She meticulously explained each dish brought to the table, ensuring I knew what I could enjoy and what might have ingredients just for the others. The awareness of allergens was apparent down to the smallest detail—at one point, when a dish meant for another guest was accidentally placed in front of me, the head server swooped in, replaced my plate, and reset my utensils without missing a beat.

MENU
Not applicable here as we did not look at a menu! I know, hard to believe…but, trust me, if I felt the slightest bit of hesitation in the voice or body language of the wait staff, I would have ordered from the menu
TABLE
Spotless surfaces—yep!
Separate plates for shared items—check!
House-made sauces in individual cups with a rundown of every ingredient used—perfect!
Silverware wrapped in linen napkins,
so much better to keep down the concern for cross-contamination.
WAITER
