	+ ------ + ''2009-10-23 03:34:23'' [[nbsp]] Sushi Nobu had by FAR the fastest service of any restaurant I've ever been to. I almost felt pressured to come up with more orders because the waitress kept coming back so often. The sushi was excellent and I will most definitely return here for my future sushi outings. --["Users/davisreviewer"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-08-15 21:35:01'' [[nbsp]] Great food, and a more intimate and quiet dining experience. The chefs are very friendly, the service is excellent, and I would go back anytime. If you're adventurous, try the mirugai (live clam). There is nothing like the experience of "really" fresh food--especially when it moves when you poke it with a chopstick. For the squeamish, have a fair amount of sake before you order this. That should get rid of any hang-ups you have about this dish. --["Users/Darren22"]

It was also too small and crowded. People kept bumping into us and each other. To top it off, the staff wasn't very friendly. I prefer the Davis Sushi Buffet Restaurant! --["Users/sm0729"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-05-10 15:16:58'' [[nbsp]] Mediocre sushi, but slightly lower prices. The Sashimi seems fresh, more fresh than some of the sushi buffets but I wasn't so fond of their Ikura or Lion King Roll(It was a little bland). The salad that came with the lunch plate didn't seem very fresh though, I ended up not eating it. I tend to use this place as a backup for when I'm lower on cash and really want sushi or when the restaurants I like more are closed. --["Users/Michelleshueh"]

The roll tastes better, and the salmon, it kinda melts in your mouth and it has significantly a lot of fat. It's definitely the best salmon in Davis/Sac for its price.

- ------ - ''2009-02-08 18:45:26'' [[nbsp]] So today was my first time eating at Suhi Nobu. After going to Juscos about 100 times with friends and family(and absolutely loving it), and reading reviews of the all you can eat sushi places in Davis, I was surprised to see that Juscos was at the bottom of the list. I thought to myself, "How can this be possible? Is their really a place better than Juscos?" Seeing that Sushi Nobu was considered the best sushi place in Davis, I decided to try it out. So today, I got up with a couple of my friends who have been to Juscos, and went to Sushi Nobu for lunch. At Juscos you sit at a booth and order whatever you want, here you just went up and got sushi from the bar. After my friends and I sat down with our Sushi and took our first bites, we all looked up at each other with that "Are you kidding me?" face. The sushi was bland, and flavorless. It was room temperature, and tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. The rice was mushy, and the sushi looked sloppily put together. After several trips to get more sushi from the bar, we were all very very disappointed. There was no comparison, Juscos blew this place out of the water in every way(besides the fact that this place had a big screen t.v.) I feel like I just wasted my money. If you have never gone to Juscos, or haven't been their in a while, I sincerely recommend going there sometime soon and giving it a try. I've heard that Juscos didn't get the greatest reviews back in the day, but is getting better ones now. Maybe thats why they're not packed 24/7. But everyone I've taken there (about 30 different people, including a friend from Japan), have all agreed that Juscos is the best all you can eat sushi they have ever had. GO TRY JUSCOS! I'm about to go right now and spend money I don't have to go get some, as this morning was horrible... Lol. --["Users/Austen"]	+

- Nobu has drastically improved their selection (now having similar variety to ["Fuji's"]). For the dinner buffet they added fried oysters, salmon teriyaki, tempura, gyoza, several hand rolls (including unagi and spicy salmon), fried bananas, smoked salmon nigiri, Hawaii roll, red rose roll, vegetable tempura roll, Sacramento King's roll, and rainbow roll, along with all their old favorites. In addition '''you may now order Sashimi''' (4 piece maximum, tuna, salmon, albacore, mackerel or yellow tail) and the pieces are very thick.	+ Nobu has drastically improved their selection (now having similar variety to ["Fuji Chef" Fuji's]).

Their dinner buffet is $14.99 ($13.99 from 4:30pm-5:30pm). People tend to agree that it is the freshest sushi you can find in a buffet. The main attraction, which contributes to the perceived freshness, is that you order from their ["buffets" buffet] menu directly to the sushi chef (or to the waitress if you are at a table). In addition, when it's busy, they'll also come around with plates of sushi like a ["dim sum"] place.	+ '''[[Address("Nobu Hiro", "38.55264", "-121.71419")]]''' offers a lunchtime sushi ["buffets" buffet] from 11am to 2:30pm; Monday-Thursday it's $9.99, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays it's $10.99.

- ''2007-01-07 13:01:06'' [[nbsp]] Food isn't the greatest but its still good. Lately, their service has been sucking. Sometimes you don't get exactly what you requested during the buffet. --["Users/BeeBooBee"] - ------ - ''2007-01-11 14:58:35'' [[nbsp]] I love this place. One of my close friends went there once and told me about it. I tried it once and since then I go about once a week. All the Chefs are nice to me, I really don't pay attention to the waiters much because they change quite often. I feel the people there are really genuine, too bad for the people who have had bad experiences. The sushi buffet is the best in Davis for sure. The food is average. If I am going to be putting raw fish in my mouth, quality is the most important thing, and this place has got it! --["Users/WillLiu"] - ------ - ''2007-02-09 11:02:59'' [[nbsp]] This is a fine establishment, agreed, but ["Zen Toro"], new in 2006, is now the best in Davis. --["TimGinn"] - ------ - ''2007-02-19 18:28:38'' [[nbsp]] I personally don't like eating sushi at 9am, and that's about how early you need to be at Fuji's to get a table. Nobu's is never crowded and their sushi is really good. They also have doughnuts. They're not good, but they have doughnuts there which is pretty intriguing. --["Users/KlareWhite"] - ------ - ''2007-02-21 14:00:05'' [[nbsp]] They have a very limited selection of things to eat for the lunch buffet. Such things as the Red Rose Roll is only offered during other hours such as dinner. The buffet service is absolutely horrific. I have yet to sit at the bar, which is probably a lot better. Other than that, they are rude, they do not get your orders right, and they limit everything you eat, particularly if you're with friends. Apparently they don't want customers to come back. My friends and I have eaten there more times than we should've (4 times or so) and not once was it pleasent. Most recently my friend got into an argument with the waiter because the tip was charged on the bill and it wasn't written on the reciept. Eat here if you're desperate and live in East Davis. Otherwise, stay away. --["Users/CoreyPham"] - ------ - ''2007-02-21 15:27:30'' [[nbsp]] Went here for the third time last weekend for the buffet. Got there at 11am to ensure a seat at the bar. Service was awesome, as the sushi chefs are friendly and responsive. Food was great. No complaints here. Sit at the bar. It's the way to go. --["Users/AlexPomeranz"] - ------ - ''2007-03-15 12:56:01'' [[nbsp]] I really don't understand why so many people have had bad experiences here. Do you guys go looking for trouble or try to piss off the employees or something? I'm a regular and have been to nobu's a ton of times and have never witnessed any altercations between the staff and customers. Staff has always been friendly to me and given me my orders. Sushi is on point and decent, and I like how you don't have to come half an hour early to line up unlike Fujis. My only complaint is that Nobu's is small and everybody is seated too close together. --["Users/DonaldJaye"] - ------ - ''2007-03-21 15:49:39'' [[nbsp]] My girlfriend and I decided to give this joint another chance, and we were pleasantly surprised. Food was delicious and service was great. Even though there was a line, we were seated at the bar in less than 10 minutes. It looks like they fired that douche bag waiter, and that was definitely a plus. --["Users/ArlenKwong"] - ------ - ''2007-03-21 15:51:59'' [[nbsp]] Something I noticed that in the bath of mixed positive/negative reviews, in the past it was non-Asians who said this place was good and Asians who said they received poor service. I think it does have something to do with them wanting to please the non-Asian/white crowd, though it seems like it's changed. --["Users/ArlenKwong"] - ------ - ''2007-04-25 16:56:00'' [[nbsp]] RUDE!!!!! Everyone I know calls it "The Sushi Nazi Experience" - you can eat during the "all you can eat" for a while, and then: NO MORE SUSHI FOR YOU! --["Users/DavisGradStudent"] - ------ - ''2007-05-02 12:54:25'' [[nbsp]] Their food is good here including the sushi, but their selection is not as large as some other restaurants in Davis. Nontheless, their quality and service is good and price is fairly decent. --["Users/trambajuice"] - ------ - ''2007-05-02 23:39:56'' [[nbsp]] Do not come here if you want a sushi buffet. Do come here if you want a rice buffet. The size of the rice get bigger and bigger as you order more food. It really is getting ridiculous. Furthermore, the Nazi waitress watches what you do with the rice like a hawk (no napkin or leave a bit behind on the plate trick). The quality of fish is good but they only give you a sliver of fish on top of your rice mountain. The service is horrible, and they stop bringing out fresh cooked food after 12ish. Once the waitress nazi lied to me and said they ran out of oranges when it was close to closing time. I asked the cashier and they got it right away for me. I have noticed that I tend to get worse service when I go with my asian friends and better service with my caucasian friends. Reverse racism? They claim their a buffet but they seem to get so upset with you if you keep asking for more food. I will never come here again. They may be cheaper but you get what you pay for in service. --["Users/basking"] - * ''2007-05-08 23:42:35'' [[nbsp]] basking, what do you expect, it seems like they just want to kiss ass to the whites, but lately I think it's been better, at least when I've gone. --["Users/ArlenKwong"] - ------ - ''2007-05-15 14:27:11'' [[nbsp]] lol @ Sushi Nazi Experience, I have yet to experience this, and they give me my orders until I can't eat anymore. I do agree that on some days, they give you excessive amounts of rice. but service is always good when I go, and i'm pretty much a regular here. BTW, since race seems to be a highly discussed issue in this topic, I'm ASIAN if it matters. --["Users/DonaldJaye"] - ------ - ''2007-05-19 01:41:00'' [[nbsp]] This place is horrible. I went there with my girlfriend on a Saturday and when the lady came by with the water, just tossed it on the table. I thought to myself, fine. They're busy, she's quick, it's alright. Then I politely asked her, excuse me, can please have two hot teas? She replied, yeah sure if I have time. I was furious, and even more furious when she brought boiling hot tea and tossed it on the table. My table was covered with boiling hot tea. I was furious. No, I was not furious, I was so mad that there is not a word to describe my madness. DO NOT EVER GO TO SUSHI NOBU! WE SHOULD ALL AVOID THEM UNTIL THEY ARE DRIVEN OUT OF BUSINESS. SPREAD THE WORD! SUSHI NOBU IS HORRIBLE. --["Users/Jackie"] - ------ - ''2007-05-19 15:16:54'' [[nbsp]] This place is absolutely terrible. They have the worst presentation, sloppily thrown together and rushed out. Service is quick, which I attribute to the barren menu. It looks like someone with cerebral palsy had fun one day with imitation crab. One can hardly consider it sushi. The rice is pathetic, and if you're some artard who doesn't know, that is what sushi is really all about. The fish was relatively fresh I will say. The unagi however had the texture of latex, unribbed for our discomfort. --["Users/JustinLanska"] - ------ - ''2007-05-21 18:14:03'' [[nbsp]] Last saturday was my first experience at Sushi Nobu. It was ridiculously crowded given the small space, and the waiters were extremely busy and a bit reluctant to bring food out, but they brought everything we wanted and kept bringing it until we could eat no more. Now, i'm no sushi expert, but the fish did seem pretty fresh and the sushi was delicious overall. As for all the negative comments....what do you expect from a $10 sushi buffet? be happy you stuffed yourself full of sushi for ten dollars! they are crammed with students wanting cheap sushi, and the service reflects this. just ignore it!!!! My friend and I ate 20 plates of sushi. i cant complain! oh yeah, i'm white. --["Users/boristheblade"] - ------ - ''2007-05-27 13:19:38'' [[nbsp]] The fish is excelent and fresh for the price. Service is horrible... they should fire the rude waitress!!! --["Users/SuBnorMal"] - ------ - ''2007-06-01 10:33:27'' [[nbsp]] I have been going to this restaurant since they opened, and they are definitely the best sushi in town. Yes, sometimes the waitresses are not on the ball, but they always get it right eventually, and always with a smile. I really love these guys. They really are very nice. The best idea is to wait for a bar seat. Then you get exactly what you want fast. You haters should be glad that there actually is a nice sushi place in this town with quality sushi, good prices, and no lines!!! --["Users/KatHa"] - ------ - ''2007-06-03 16:34:26'' [[nbsp]] Went here with a group of about 15 people. No waiting in line at all, and the staff let a few of the early arrivals hold the table for the rest of us (try that at some other sushi buffets in town). The sushi was of very good quality, the wait staff was prompt and courteous, and they filled us up! I didn't see any evidence of "nazi waitresses" here. And as far as 'racial profiling' goes in the sushi world, our group was about 70% Asian, and the wait staff served all equally (with smiles, even), so I really don't think race matters here (nor should it matter anywhere)--two thumbs up for this lunch spot! --["Users/Buzz"] - ------ - ''2007-07-11 17:20:38'' [[nbsp]] I came here to try out the buffet but did not like it AT ALL. The waiter who brought us our sushi had a pretty mean attitude toward my group of friends and me. The rice in the sushi that we ordered tasted dry and old. Will not return. --["Users/JoeLow"] - ------ - ''2007-07-17 23:22:52'' [[nbsp]] A friend and I went to Nobu last week to try the dinner buffet and was disappointed by the food. The rolls were extremely paded with rice and tasted very plain. I felt the food was not fresh. Service was good because we sat at the bar, but the food was bad. My friend also did not like the food. --["Users/JohnWong"] - ------ - ''2007-07-22 18:22:51'' [[nbsp]] I really like this restaurant. The food is good for the price. They give you a lot. They dishes are also unique and flavorful. I would say that the style is not too traditional, however. The one downside is service. You get MUCH better service at the bar than the tables. --["Users/AlexandraDeGrange"] - ------ - ''2007-07-25 23:29:42'' [[nbsp]] Service is horrible. Workers are very rude. For the buffet, rolls taste bland and are full of rice. Not sure how the rolls are. Pricing is reasonable and...at least you don't have to wait in a crazy line..unlike fujis... --["Users/jaredfromsubway"] - ------ - ''2007-07-27 19:19:55'' [[nbsp]] This place isn't as bad as people say; the food is somewhat fresh, being room temperature and all. Sitting at the bar will gaurantee the best sushi experience. Sitting at the tables, however.. that's another story. Overall, the workers there are cunt-like. One of the waitresses with the bad perm is a bitch. But the main man person who rings you up is adorable. And you get to pay seperatley too! Yay.. Overall: B- --["Users/JasonMasino"] - ------ - ''2007-07-28 04:08:34'' [[nbsp]] raw food is not supposed to be held at room temperature --["Users/JohnWong"] - ------ - ''2007-08-13 20:28:57'' [[nbsp]] I ate at the tables for the first time a few weeks ago, and the service is definitely not as good as at the bar. The sushi chefs are awesome -- the waitresses are not. The "sushi nazi" (as Emily Blake calls her) is well named -- she doesn't smile, doesn't talk, and just has a cold demeanor. She's not mean, but she's very impersonal, and it doesn't come off well. One of the members of our group was so intimidated that she wanted to ask for miso soup but couldn't bring herself to do it. It made me laugh. Just don't take her seriously and don't sweat it, and you'll be fine. --["Users/AlexPomeranz"] - ------ - ''2007-08-30 18:52:46'' [[nbsp]] This place is way better than Fuji's. I'm not getting up at 9 in the morning to wait in a fat line for so-so sushi. Nobu is always very welcoming and when you request something they make it immediately.. most of the time. So good. --["Users/KlareWhite"] - ------ - ''2007-09-25 19:20:00'' [[nbsp]] This is the BEST sushi buffet I have been to in AGES! - * Service was great - * Courteous waiters and waitresses - * They always asked me if I wanted more rolls - * The food and selection was perfect - * Very kind sushi chefs - Needless to say, I highly recommend it! --["Users/AnnaF"] - ------ - ''2007-11-01 08:24:20'' [[nbsp]] All you can eat salmon and yellowtail nigri, you can't go wrong with that. If you go there often enough, they give you more than the typical 2 pieces! Great for all you can eat and no line. --["Users/FeralFeline"] - ------ - ''2007-11-02 15:56:23'' [[nbsp]] Nobu has the best, freshest sushi anywhere in Davis or Sacramento. Sunny, the owner, is a great sushi chef, and extremely friendly. His wife, here often referred to as "sushi nazi" is a darling too if you're not an annoying customer, and it's not ridiculously busy, like some days at lunch buffet. I admit I'm biased because my girlfriend and I are regulars and the entire staff knows our "usual" and the owner and his wife often come to chat with us. The sashimi is to die for, and the best rolls are the crazy monkey, the graduation roll, and the alaska roll. They get fresh fish every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so those are the days to go for freshest fish. Usually the shiro maguro, the sake, and the hamachi are amazing. The sake is always nice and bright orange and so deliciously buttery tasting, and the shiro maguro absolutely melts in your mouth, you don't even have to chew most of the time. I think their miso is also better then every other sushi place I've been to in Davis and Sac. I have NEVER had a problem with their service, even before they got to know us, and I've been going for five years, since before Sunny owned the place and was just head chef. Yes, their menu is small, but what they lack in variety they make up for in absolute quality. Every time I experiment with a new sushi place I've heard is good I'm thoroughly disappointed and regret not coming to Nobu. They never freeze their fish, but they store it in a refrigerator and it is never older than two days. Here's my typical experience on a Monday or Friday night at Nobu. We walk in the door, sit down where ever we want and within 2 minutes we have hot tea and miso soup. We usually get the deluxe shashimi platter ($14.95) and a crazy monkey roll ($6.95), which fills up two sushi lover's stomachs and tastes orgasmic all the way through the meal. I'd recommend you don't come, because I'm tired of my favorite sushi place being too crowded ;) BTW, they are Chinese for the most part, but that doesn't mean they don't know raw fish. --["Users/norcalmatt"] - ------ - ''2007-11-02 21:34:30'' [[nbsp]] I went here with a large group and they treated us fine. They asked that people getting the buffet sit in one group, and that caused some shifting in seating arrangements, but it wasn't a problem. They gave us free tea since our group ate a lot, too. :) --["Users/TaniaG"] - ------ - ''2007-11-04 16:15:29'' [[nbsp]] I was just commenting this morning that it would be nice if they expanded their buffet menu a bit, and sure enough, when I got there, they had! They added about 4 or 5 new specialty rolls, most of which have tempura shrimp in them. The highlight (in my opinion) was the dragon roll, but the roll 69 was also good (salmon with a spicy sauce). --["Users/AlexPomeranz"] - ------ - ''2007-11-09 13:01:35'' [[nbsp]] My boyfriend, who is not a student, and I have gone on Thursday nights for their buffet. Never once have they asked to see our student ids or anything of the sort. I should note that we are also not of the typical student age. Service at the bar was wonderful and sushi was pretty good. I have never had any problems with this place. --["Users/lemurific"] - ------ - ''2007-11-12 20:46:35'' [[nbsp]] Tasty tasty --["Users/KenichiSan"] - ------ - ''2007-11-12 20:49:07'' [[nbsp]] they were really nice and kept trying to make us rolls all morning long. tried lots of new things- almost all tasty. didn't care for some of the sauces on some of the fancier rolls, but no biggie, wipe off the sauces and it is still delicious. --["Users/KenichiSan"] - ------ - ''2007-12-03 02:55:17'' [[nbsp]] WTF is wrong with the waitress's attitude? Sushi is lacking compared to jusco and fujis. 10% gratuity on a shitty ass attitude and less than mediocre service? WTF is wrong with this place? UNAGI does not have seaweed and unagi sauce. Its only eel and rice. wtf. NEVER GO HERE unless you want to waste your money.btw overpriced as hell --["Users/KaiWan"] - ------ - ''2007-12-12 12:50:07'' [[nbsp]] This is an addition to a previous review. I came here for a dinner buffet with a friend. We were seated at the bar, and I don't know if it was because it wasn't too busy that evening, but the chefs were extremely attentive. We were asked every minute if we need or wanted anything. They made things fresh and on the spot. The fish, as always, is probably the freshest in Davis. The variety of nigiri was delicious. The rolls are kind of boring, but they're a nice change of pace. I guess because it wasn't all frantic, it was pretty great service. No crazy waitresses who gave us dirty looks or anything. Come here and eat 10000 pieces of nigiri, it's pretty worth it. --["Users/CoreyPham"]

I've sat at the counter many times and the sushi chefs there are really nice. They pay attention to everyone at the counter and are pretty fast with the orders. Its actually really weird that they have 4 guys behind the counter and 1 waitress to get all of the other tables. Nobu would work way better if they had more waiters going around tables (preferably one of the 4 people at the counter). I will always spend my money here rather than on Fuji's because, in terms of sushi, Nobu is way better. Fuji's has the random non-sushi stuff down like soft shelled crab, but come to Nobu for the rolls.

I took my family there (dad, mom, and sister) for the lunch buffet and had the misfortune to sit at a table. She basically threw plates at us, letting them clatter down as she passed them and wouldn't even look at us when she was giving us our orders. Its the same attitude people give when they pass by homeless people on the street. My dad was sitting at the edge of the table and I saw him almost drop a plate because of the way she tossed it.

If it were served colder, it would be incredible. As a huge fan of salmon nigiri, Nobu's is easily my sushi buffet of choice in Davis. --["Users/BrandonWong"]

They add more roll on their menu, like dragon roll/ roll 69/red rose roll , they are pretty Good come here once a week , and i feel so lucky the sushi buffet cost you only $10 , as you know today every thing cost you more ,gasoline, food , fish, rice, and vegetables. they still did not increase the price, don't you feel lucky ? what more you can ask for ? I talked to a waitress worked here last Friday, I asked her" why so many customers feel sad about your bad services, and 90% people think your sushi is best, because i read many reviews on Davis wiki ?" she honor-sly told me " because our sushi buffet are different from Fuji's, they put everything on the sushi boat, and customers pick up everything they like by themselves , they don't have a menu for buffet ,so they don't need any services , you help yourself .at Nobu we are working 10 times harder than Fuji's waitress , because our all sushi made fresh, that's why you taste fish more fresher, i carried two tray's sushi bring to the every table and ask them what-else they want and have to remember everything they asked, then call the sushi chef to make it,then bring back to them. when busy lunch on weekend i can't remember so many orders at once and which sushi goes to which table, i already do my best, sometimes i bring the different sushi they ordered to the same table for 20 times ,maybe i missed one kind sushi they ordered, then they got really mad of me, at the end they don't tip me and said your services are sucks.sometime i feel my arm almost broke because of carrying of sushi for 3 hours. if you are in my position , do you want smile to a guy who ordered many times and you bring sushi to him for 10 times ,and he never tip you, what do you think ,i make tips for living .but most customers are very nice and friendly in davis." i told her i understand, and feel very sorry to hear this story which i never know, what a experience. --["Users/bob25"]

The service can be pretty bad when they're busy, however. You'll be treated a little better if you get a bar seat, but even then some orders may never come. However, it's fine if you go in on a slower day - mainly the weekdays for lunch. In short, the quality is great, the selection is limited, and the service ranges from "okay" to "terrible." --["Users/BrandonWong"]

Coming from someone who has been in the food industry for several years just know that there are huge stereotypes when it comes to customers. Sad but true. I will be stereotyped if I go out with other girls (large girl parties give bad tips) and believe me everyone else will be stereotyped too.

Staff has always been friendly towards me from the sushi chefs all the way down to the waitresses. The lunch buffet is a good value but the dinner buffet is overpriced, especially since they only add a few things different then the lunch menu.

Don't know why, but... --["Users/AlphaDog"] - ------ - ''2006-02-04 13:48:23'' [[nbsp]] This place is my favorite sushi place in Davis, but the buffet is a bit lacking. It's true that the service is kinda slow and gets orders wrong (but hey, it's super busy at lunch buffet). Still, if you go during the lunch buffett you just might catch a glimpse of the waitress I've dubbed the "Sushi Nazi"...she is brusque, unsmiling, and downright hilarious to watch in action. --["Users/EmilyBlake"] - ------ - ''2006-02-07 14:32:51'' [[nbsp]] I have mixed feelings about this sushi restaurant. The rolls are alright, nothing amazing or extra delicious, but the prices are a little cheaper than the other sushi restaurants in town. Lately, the tables have always been sticky when I have gone to eat, which is kind of gross. I rate this place a B/B-, I recommend ["Moshi Moshi"] over Nobu. --["Users/LauraChan"] - ------ - ''2006-02-14 14:55:07'' [[nbsp]] Pretty pretty pretty pretty good. Excellent service at the bar.

One of the better restaurants Davis, period. --["Users/RyanLeverenz"] - ------ - ''2006-02-21 13:58:46'' [[nbsp]] Just came from here. I have to say I enjoyed my experience. The atmosphere was cramped, but charming. I took other Wiki users' advice and sat at the bar. I would describe the service as sketchy. It's not bad service; it's more the fact that you have to be clear and very assertive to get what you want. As for the food, I thought it was above average for a buffet; about average for sushi. The sushi was good, but the selection was limited. Something I didn't see on the page was that there's a $2 charge for wasted food, which is economical, but anal. I actually didn't read the entire Wiki page before I went, and found it a pleasant surprise to have tempura and edamame and orange slices and other things available. That alone made it well worth the $10. When I want sushi again, I'll definitely return to this place because buying it by the order (off a menu) is TONS more expensive. --["Users/SaulSugarman"] - ------ - ''2006-03-03 15:08:10'' [[nbsp]] I went today at lunch and loved it. We got there at 11:05 so we sat at the bar but the restaurant filled up really quickly. We go to order directly from the chef and also got some random items other chefs were handing out and the waitresses were giving out. We were there for an hour and no food was forced unto us, the refilled my water often and were very polite. I liked the food and ate a lot, tried all their speciality rolls. Definately recommend if you 1. get there early and 2. sit at the bar. --["Users/JoAnnaRich"] - ------ - ''2006-04-14 22:13:50'' [[nbsp]] I think it really depends on which chef you get. From MY personal experience, the two chefs on the right (one of them is the old bald guy on the right) are really cool and give good service. The chef on the very left was not very friendly to me during downtime; I tried sparking conversation with him and he was rude. I think it IS akward however, if you go there when it's only you and a friend with no other customers. Also, be sure to give them orders for like 2-3 sushi at a time. They seem to get annoyed if you order one at a time. Overall, sushi is great.

I took my girlfriend's family there for the sushi buffet based on the coments on this page. None of you know what even decent sushi tastes like. None of us enjoyed a single thing that we ate. We happened to bring along a food thermometer that my girlfriend's sister uses for her quality assurance job at a resaurant chain. She checked the temperature of the yellow tail (which looked disgusting and tasted the same) and the temperature was 65.5, she told us that in order to ensure that bacteria isn't growing food needs to be below 40 degrees or above 100. The fish also looked like it was cooked, the red that is typical of yellow tail was not there, the whole thing looked off-white. Please don't eat here. Eat anywhere else. --["Users/AndyLyn"] - - ''2006-06-22 12:51:00'' [[nbsp]] Sushi served at below 40 degrees would be horrible and near frozen. It'd be so cold you wouldn't be able to taste anything. If that's your preference, hey, that's fine, but keep in mind that the "below 40" rule is generally intended for storing food or for holding food for longer periods of time. Also, if you're really concerned about food temps, you should know that to be "safe" for storage or holding, the upper minimum temp is 140 degrees, not 100. The basic rule of thumb for the "danger zone" of bacterial growth is between 140 and 40 for 4 hours. Regardless of any of this, I think you'll find that almost no sushi is 40 or below by the time it's served. --["Users/AmandaGarrison"] - ------ - ''2006-07-06 15:22:26'' [[nbsp]] I’ve never had such a horrendous experience eating at a restaurant. my friend introduced me to this sushi buffet, and at first i was pleasantly surprised by the service and the quality of sushi. Unfortunately, today we were told in a rude manner that we had to finish our rice before ordering more food, or we would be charged $2/plate. now, it is understandable to inform us of their restaurant policies, but my friend has been going there for a couple years now, and they have NEVER enforced that rule upon them. the waiter was rude enough to point it out on the menu, and had us read it, like we're idiots. now, this particular waiter was already rubbing me the wrong way when we asked for miso soup and sushi and he never brought it over. i've worked in a sushi restaurant before, my managers would never allow me to act the way he did. then he proceeded to stare at us, because he knew we were unhappy. After a 1 min. staring contest, my friend asked him to please stop staring and that it was making us uncomfortable while we were trying to enjoy our lunch. of course the waiter said he was trying to see if we needed anything else. however, from the beginning of our meal, he never asked us if we needed anything, not even once. this guy was a jerk. he kept staring, then as the manager came over to calm my friend and I down, the waiter had the nerve to jump in and blame us more than once. we were trying to talk to the manager, but the waiter would not shut up. bad managemnt, and the yellowtail was disgusting today. it was bloody, we didn't even know if it was yellowtail. the hokigai was lost in a bed of rice. this waiter has ruined all my experiences at nobu, i've never witnessed such rude behavior at a restaurant. his staring didn't stop and he had the nerve to talk back to customers. he wouldn't stop either. i am NEVER going back. sushi is really not that great. --["Users/OnnieLin"] - * Yea I've heard from friends that the service at the tables suck horribly. So every time I've gone there I've sat at the bar and have never had a bad experience. Have you tried to sit at the bar? The only people you'll interact with is the chefs (and you get your food faster) who are really nice. -- ["Users/JoAnnaRich" JR] - ------ - ''2006-07-06 16:15:23'' [[nbsp]] I was the friend that went ate with OnnieLin. I have been eating at this restaurant for a couple years now and have never encountered a situation like I did today. One of the male waiters whom i've never seen work there before was a complete dck. The very first thing I ordered was 2 miso soups, and of course he never brought them out. Granted, if the restaurant was busy I would understand why he forgot but I could count the number of people there with my 2 hands. Towards the end of the meal I tried to order a plate of Ebi and he had the nerve to point out the "excess food policy" by pointing at the actual writing on the menu. Yes, thank you buddy I can read and I understand the policy and I'm not a complete jerk that I'll leave plates and plates of rice everywhere on the table. We had one plate with excess rice on it, and he wanted us to finish it!!! The plate wasn't even stacked with rice, it was a few clumps that were leftover from a few bites. I've been there so many times and have never had anyone point out our "excess rice" problem. The waiter even had to throw in the comment that it "takes time to make rice" and implied that it was time consuming. Wait a minute buddy, you're telling me that throwing in a couple pounds of sweet rice, water, and vinegar into a huge industrial rice cooker is difficult? I must be missing something if even scooping rice out of the cooker is difficult and time consuming. I would understand that it would be difficult..... for someone with a negative IQ. Afterwards, for some reason the idiot waiter wanted play a staring game, Onnie pointed out that was he staring at us and I turned around to see for myself. Sure enough, I met him eye to eye for at least 5 seconds and not one word came out of his mouth. He had some sort of idiotic smirk which really annoyed me, and I asked him to stop staring at me. If you're going to stare at me at least ask me if I would like more water or food, don't give me a stupid smirk because you feel like "the man" for trying to shove extra rice down my throat. The manager Sunny came to talk to us and he was apologizing for the incident, I appreciated the fact that Sunny was trying to help the situation but the idiot waiter decided to trot by to throw in useless extra comments like, "I had to do that so I don't get in trouble with the manager". He wouldn't go away, and kept blurting comments to save his own a. We asked him to please go away, but he continued to talk back!! Sunny said told me the meal would be on him, and me not being the type to freeload still gave them my card to pay for it. He offered the meal on the house but sure enough I was still charged the full amount, not even 1 penny off. Awesome. I'm never going back. Nobu Hiro = The Customer is Always Wrong. --["Users/JeefWu"] - Wait a minute - you've had pleasant experiences before, but because of ONE isolated bad incident with a new waiter, where the manager offered to pay for your meal, and where the waiter in question likely got in serious trouble, you're never going back and recommending the same to others? I don't think the waiter is the only one being unreasonable here. --["Users/JessicaLuedtke"] - * ''2006-07-06 19:41:31'' [[nbsp]] well well well, let's see... the manager never really stopped the waiter from his constant stare down and outbursts. that really shows you what kind of management runs this establishment. he allowed the waiter to bounce around our table accusing that we were trying to get his butt in trouble. I've worked in a sushi restaurant before and I've been to even more, my manager would NEVER allow this kind of behavior. the manager did not even have the decency to tell the waiter to back off and let us enjoy the rest of our meal. they were disorganized and disrespectful. Granted, the manager did offer to pay for the bill, but however I believe it was for show for the other customers in the restaurant. When the bill came he gladly accepted the credit card with a quickness. gee, i wonder why I would NOT consider going back to this restaurant. and that was NOT the only unpleasant experience. we always go to nobu for their sushi buffets and during dinner, sushi buffet is only served at the bar. so, on this occasion we sat at the bar, and we've been there a couple of times for sushi dinner buffet, which the chefs are all very well aware of. but however this time, even though we were ordering off the sushi BUFFET dinner menu, we were charged regular prices for everything. we were annoyed that they took advantage of our loyalty to their restaurant, and decided to give them once more chance today, and look what happened. So, would you really go back to a restaurant with crappy management and services just to save a couple of bucks? Really now….it’s not that good. Do you know what real sushi tastes like? =) --["Users/OnnieLin"] - ------ - ''2006-08-22 11:14:53'' [[nbsp]] I've only eaten there once but it too was a bad experience. For those of you who are used to the regular buffets where all the food is prepared and ready for you to pick up and eat, this is not the same. You have to order sushi from the chef so this means that you have to eat in intervals therefore you get full but eat less food than other buffets. Sushi is okay, but not excellent. --["Users/PorkFoo"] - ------ - ''2006-09-09 16:59:55'' [[nbsp]] We went there today with a group, because I wanted to take them to a sushi restaurant which I felt was superior in quality to Fuji's. We should have just gone to Fuji's instead. From the get go, there was a VERY rude male waiter that soured our eating experience. Before anyone even asked for food, he went up to a woman and her daughter, while gesturing his hand with a "STOP" expression, and said "BE PATIENT. FOOD WILL BE READY SOON." I knew we were in for a long lunch. When he brought us the sushi trays to pick from, he rushed us and did not give us enough time to really look over the sushi and pick. As soon as we picked one he'd QUICKLY move on to the next table. He was so rude it was laughable. He kept looking off into space like he was too good for us when he brought us our sushi. Whenever we asked for other sushi, he either looked at us dumbfounded or just walked off as if he didn't hear us. My friend also gently elbowed him (by accident while turning) and he gave him a very mean, rolled eyes back look. All I will say is we are probably never going back to this restaurant, and if the management knows any better, they would fire this guy's ass before he drives away any more customers. I bet he's the same guy that OnnieLin was referring to.

He acts like you are murdering his family when you ask him for a drink of water or something. Not to mention this prick also spoke rudely towards us in Chinese (the waitress was handing us our sushi and he said "let them get it themselves"), too bad I ***ing understand Chinese you dick.

The waitresses all seemed friendly enough, and the food was definitely on par with Fuji's, which is fine for me. The nigiri did have a good deal of rice, but, again, no more than Fuji. Having the sushi come by "dim sum" style is really great! There was plenty of variety and they seemed happy to bring anything else on the menu that wasn't already coming around. I'd definitely go back. --["Users/JonathanLawton"]

They added about 4 or 5 new specialty rolls, most of which have tempura shrimp in them. The highlight (in my opinion) was the dragon roll, but the roll 69 was also good (salmon with a spicy sauce). --["Users/AlexPomeranz"]

	+ ------ + ''2007-11-02 15:56:23'' [[nbsp]] Nobu has the best, freshest sushi anywhere in Davis or Sacramento. Sunny, the owner, is a great sushi chef, and extremely friendly. His wife, here often referred to as "sushi nazi" is a darling too if you're not an annoying customer, and it's not ridiculously busy, like some days at lunch buffet. I admit I'm biased because my girlfriend and I are regulars and the entire staff knows our "usual" and the owner and his wife often come to chat with us. The sashimi is to die for, and the best rolls are the crazy monkey, the graduation roll, and the alaska roll. They get fresh fish every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so those are the days to go for freshest fish. Usually the shiro maguro, the sake, and the hamachi are amazing. The sake is always nice and bright orange and so deliciously buttery tasting, and the shiro maguro absolutely melts in your mouth, you don't even have to chew most of the time. I think their miso is also better then every other sushi place I've been to in Davis and Sac. I have NEVER had a problem with their service, even before they got to know us, and I've been going for five years, since before Sunny owned the place and was just head chef. Yes, their menu is small, but what they lack in variety they make up for in absolute quality. Every time I experiment with a new sushi place I've heard is good I'm thoroughly disappointed and regret not coming to Nobu. They never freeze their fish, but they store it in a refrigerator and it is never older than two days. Here's my typical experience on a Monday or Friday night at Nobu. We walk in the door, sit down where ever we want and within 2 minutes we have hot tea and miso soup. We usually get the deluxe shashimi platter ($14.95) and a crazy monkey roll ($6.95), which fills up two sushi lover's stomachs and tastes orgasmic all the way through the meal. I'd recommend you don't come, because I'm tired of my favorite sushi place being too crowded ;) BTW, they are Chinese for the most part, but that doesn't mean they don't know raw fish. --["Users/norcalmatt"]
