Nobu Cape Town brings classic Japanese cuisine with a Peruvian twist in a sophisticated space which seamlessly blends Japanese wa with the spirit of Ubuntu.

    The new renovation is amazing. We sat close to the entrance and the continued loud shouting announcing guest arrival disturbed our dinner conversations.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Wed 29 Jul 26:
    Dear Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our recent renovation and truly appreciate your kind words. We are, however, sorry to learn that the enthusiastic "Irasshaimase" welcome at the entrance interrupted your dinner conversations. We completely understand how important a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere is to an enjoyable dining experience. The "Irasshaimase" greeting is a longstanding Japanese tradition at Nobu, intended to warmly welcome and acknowledge every guest as they arrive. While it is never our intention to disturb those already dining, we appreciate your perspective and thank you for bringing it to our attention. Your comments have been shared with our team as we continually look for ways to enhance the guest experience while remaining true to the traditions that define Nobu. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon for a more seamless and memorable dining experience. Warm regards, Shibe Mathatho General Manager, Nobu

    As a regular customer of Nobu NYC - this location needs to step it up. Bar didn’t get drinks right all night. Service was sketchy and part of order was forgotten.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Wed 22 Jul 26:
    Dear Kathleen Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. We're disappointed to hear that your visit did not meet the standards you've come to expect from Nobu, particularly as a regular guest of Nobu. We regret that your drinks were not prepared correctly, parts of your order were missed, and that the level of service fell short throughout the evening. Please accept our sincere apologies for these shortcomings. Your comments have been shared with our restaurant leadership team for review, as experiences like yours are not reflective of the exceptional service we strive to deliver. Please contact me via email at shibe.mathatho@oneandonlycapetown.com We value your patronage and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a dining experience that better reflects the Nobu standard.
