It was a special lunch with my ex-principal I last saw 30 years ago. The staff at Nobu was exceptional in service-making every part of our dining experience warm and inviting, while also giving us space and privacy for our discussion. The food at Nobu-my first visit to Nobu Singapore- was outstanding and consistent, just as I have experienced at Nobu Old Park Lane London, Bursewood, Tokyo & Chicago. I can't wait to try Nobu Cairo.
