I like the brunch crowd ambiance at Nobu. The restaurant is full but it does not feel cramped, and each station only has good food to offer and doesn’t overwhelm.

 

Japanese Sushi / Sashimi Station

A big tuna is sliced at the start of the buffet. 

 

Start your brunch with their excellent sashimi selection.

 

Nobu’s sushi creations.

 

Eat-all-you-can unagi!

 

I like the Tuna Tataki. You can enjoy the tuna without the rice, with a bit of a sauce and a good jalapeño kick.

 

Salmon with their unique karashi miso sauce.

 

You can order different juices and mocktails, which are included in the buffet. 

 

Uni heaven! 🙂

 

We would just eat the caviar and avoid the rice because you can easily get full.

 

Fresh oysters…

 

…with Nobu’s signature sauces.

 

Mini-fruit salad…

 

…plus other Japanese salad selections.

 

Nobu Hot Dishes Station

Nobufied salmon sinigang with shiro miso. Yum-yum!

 

Palabok udon! The noodles are a bit fat and filling.

 

Thin breaded pork slices. The boys enjoyed the katsu with the sweet sauce.

 

Chicken Inasal with Nobu marinade. The white meat did not absorb the flavor of the sauce.

 

Eat-all-you-can Sea Bass.

 

My favorite Japanese Pizza Okonomiyaki. I like it topped with overflowing bonito flakes and the sweet tamarind-like sauce.

 

Kushiyaki Station

Instead of tempura or teppanyaki buffet, Nobu serves a Yakitori grill buffet.

 

The meats and vegetables are skewered and grilled upon order.

 

Mushroom and eggplant.

 

 Seafood skewer of baby octopus and squid.

 

Different kinds of meat–pork, beef, and chicken.  One of the most popular though is the chicken skin.

 

I like the anticucho and wasabi pepper sauces on the side.

 

Meat Carving Station

The meat carving station presents two different kinds of meat–lamb and beef with Nobu’s signature sauces.

 

Prime Rib crusted in Shichimi Japanese spice mixture.

 

I like to mix the creamy wasabi and contrast it with the sweet soy anticucho on the side.

 

Lamb leg in rosemary miso.

 

You can add more rosemary miso sauce or have a creamy mint tofu on the side.

 

The lychee and cucumber mocktails were very refreshing to the palate.

 

Dessert Station 

I Love Mom-themed cheesecake dessert. 

 

I like the freshly baked eclairs with different flavors and toppings.

 

The boys loved the strawberry and meringue in strawberry chocolate coating.

 

The parfait balls look good from the outside but are actually bland on the inside.

 

The black sesame and green tea housemade ice creams were a hit.

 

My favorite was the chia parfait with coconut and mango. You can even make it a la mode with ice cream.

 

We love the NOBU Sunday Brunch because it’s well-curated and offers a different kind of Japanese buffet with Nobu’s special sauces. I always look forward to the “Nobufied” Filipino dishes and the eat-all-you-can Kushiyaki station, which adds a familiar street food feel to the brunch. 

It’s a perfect venue for celebrating the very important people in your life. Budget about P3,000/head.

Reserve in advance to make sure you get the best seats. You can also go on a Nobu staycation to complete the experience.
