Hands down my favorite place to get sushi 🍣! Owners and staff are so warm and friendly and the food is always amazing. When they were closed during covid my friends and I would get takeout and tailgate, we needed our fix!!

This is my go-to sushi place in the Chelmsford area. I've been here more than a dozen times and have never been disappointed. The Nobo roll and spicy tuna are my favorite and my non sushi loving friends love the roast duck. Shout-out to all the staff and Julian for always taking care of us.

Food was good, but the price went up a lot. I was really shocked that there were only 2 small pieces of lamb for their lamb dish! I was also confused because last time I went, I had ordered a cocktail and it was fine, but this time when I ordered their peach cocktail, it came back with a pineapple slice on top as a garnish. I told my server that I'm allergic to pineapple and asked for another without the pineapple garnish. Our server then told us that the drink had pineapple juice mixed in too, even though on the menu, it was listed as peach purée, prosecco, vodka. I asked which cocktails

We really enjoyed this sushi restaurant ! The service was a bit slow but very pleasant and we weren't in a rush so it was fine. The drinks were great. Old Fashioned with Japanese Toki Whiskey was tasty. Ordered a second. And the Nobo and Chelmsford specialty Maki rolls were both tasty and fresh. We will definitely add this to our options for Sushi!

Had the pleasure of dining here at lunch. Surprisingly crowded for mid day but the service was fast and friendly. Great lunch specials for the sushi fans and our counterparts who prefer cooked food 😋 Will definitely return to try more menu items. Yum!

I walked in at 12:45 (or so) for lunch. I was seated and greeted almost within the same minute. I had a cold glass of water in front of me before 12:50. One look over the menu and I decided on the NoBowl (lunch special) for $12.95 - it came with miso soup (not pictured), veggie fried rice, gyoza, and katsu fried chicken.
It must've come out at 1 on the nose - or maybe 1:05. I finished eating by 12:25. It was a perfect portion for a perfect price, very clean atmosphere, and the bathrooms were near spotless.
If you are thinking about trying a new place and enjoy Asian fusion restaurants (think

I just got walked out. I sat at the table for approximately 45 minutes and was never asked for even my drink order. This is despite there being a 90 minute limit. What, were they planning to have me sit there for An hour and a half without food and then kick me out?

You can't screw up a crab Rangoon..... but they did. So gross! We never throw food out and we took a couple of bites of everything and threw it all out. UPDATE: it gave us food poisoning

Ate here many times - it is our go to for Japanese/Asian cuisine. The food is delicious always! The service, however, is extraordinary. The other night I ordered a dish and didn't specify to make it without Shrimp (I have a food allergy and didn't pay close enough attention to the description - totally my mistake.) Our waitress was amazing and got us a new dish in what felt like seconds. Whenever we go there we are met with the most pleasant greetings and hospitality. The food is definitely top notch and they have a great selection. I highly recommend.

I've ordered from here a few times and the food is usually good. But tonight I decided to give some of their other food items a try and it was a serious disappointment. This is about an item off their specialty menu. I got the white wine vegetables with pan ramen. Biggest mistake of my life. I feel like I've been duped. In the menu description, it states the vegetables are sautéed in a white wine sauce served on a bed of pan fried ramen noodles. Note the "pan fried ramen noodles". I expected to be getting a stir fried noodles dish with actual real ramen that is cooked. That

Tried delivery tonight, it came within 30 minutes. Ordered pork potstickers andYaki udon. The potstickers were luke warm and wrappers were on the dry side. The Yaki noodles were nice and hot. I ordered with shrimp which were small in size. The serving for the price does not give you any bang for your buck.

My go to sushi spot when I'm home! They are always very accommodating and never disappoint. Their specialty maki rolls are delicious and I also usually get their hand rolls! They are a lil bit on the pricier side but well worth it given the sushi selection in the area

This place offers an incredible attention to detail and spectacular service. The Sushi was very fresh and delicious. Their appetizers are to die for. I highly recommend their roasted pork buns and their Kobe beef spring rolls. Please stop by and support this great business.

I am surprised with how much flavor was in every item we had ordered. I was skeptical, it being a sushi restaurant in Chelmsford. We ordered for pick up, they finished our order is 15 minutes. Which was perfect! Took us about 15 mins to get there anyways from Lowell. We ordered the pork roast bun, amazing, the steamed bun was perfect. Nice and moist, and not overly sweet. The pork had amazing flavor. It's paired with spicy mayo, cucumbers, and fresh scallions.
For sushi, we ordered spicy salmon maki, shrimp tempura, spider maki, and the big catch speciality maki. Loved and enjoyed each

Came for lunch. Had the three roll lunch. Very good. A bit pricey for a work week lunch but excellent quality.

Service was attentive.

The interior is attractive and clean..

Outstanding sushi and service in a modern and comfortable atmosphere. Every sushi roll was fresh and flavorful with some unique and delicious combinations and excellent ingredients. My personal favorite was the Artist roll but the monthly special Yin and Yang was also excellent. Service was friendly and helpful - though you may wait a bit for the sushi it is masterfully prepared with care and skill and well worth the wait. Pricing is fair for the quality and on par for the area. We were told the entrees are fusion style and will be back to try them in the future. I cannot recommend Nobo enough

Nobu would be my first experience with East coast sushi, luckily it's located close to home and not downtown because the flavors are lovely enough to dine here every night.

As it turns out, the cold weather is good for a lot of things in New England, snow skiing, fireside dining, lobsters and you guessed it: oysters year round!

Nobu had a special tonight featuring an oyster from Maine I hadn't heard of, the Patriot.

Oysters were topped with Uni, ikura, ponzu and scallion.
Very fresh, very delicious!

Simply amazing, I could eat this all day long...

Outstanding! One of my favorite restaurants!
This restaurant is really way above the rest! There's attention to details in everything! Decor is amazing, restaurant is clean, ambiance is nice. Even the menus themselves are beautiful!
This is a family-owned restaurant and it shows! You're welcomed with a smile. Wait staff is attentive. And when you leave, they do say "Thank you! Come again!" and such.
And the food, OMG! It's as good as it looks! Almost too beautiful to eat! The presentation is amazing!!! Everything was absolutely delicious! Everything's so fresh and

Visited Nobo during lunch time and was greeted by a smiling and polite host, who directed my friend and I to a table that was readily available. I was surprised by the ambience and the variety their menu offers. Although they have an incredible sushi bar, they also have a great selection of salads, soups and other amazing dishes. It’s a place I’ll go back and try something new every time. They also have a full bar service with many choices of drinks and cocktails as well as a wine list. I tried a combo of soup and salad during this visit and it was really good. The shrimp in my salad was delicious
