Sunday Best: The Sunday Brunch Buffet at Nobu Restaurant

Sunday brunch is elevated to an elegant, even sublime, dining experience exuding that masterful Nobu touch...at Nobu Restaurant.


World renowned master chef Nobu Matsuhisa brings his unique and expressive style of modern Japanese cuisine at Nobu Restaurant showcased in a lavish Sunday Brunch Buffet. It's a dining experience like no other with its wide array of Nobu-style Japanese cuisine infused with Peruvian hints masterfully executed taking Sunday Brunch to a whole new level.


Located at Level 1 of Nobu North Tower in the massive City of Dreams Manila integrated resort and casino complex, Nobu Restaurant reflects the creative culinary style of acclaimed chef Nobu Matsuhisa complemented by the zen-like modern interiors highlighted by warm wood tones with splashes of vibrant colors. It's the perfect setting for Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's innovative creations, reinventing traditional Japanese flavors with his subtle yet bold and daring tweaks for that signature "Nobu touch." And there's no better way to experience this distinct culinary style than a leisurely Sunday brunch...

The elegant and stylish space reflect a sleek modern and sophisticated vibe with its massive wooden bar topped with inventive sushi creations to the live stations offering even more tasty options. The Sushi and Sashimi selections are the highlight of Nobu Restaurant's Sunday Brunch Buffet...

...prepared with the freshest and finest seafood. The wide selection includes delicate and intricate morsels of indulgent bites like the Shima Aji Jalapeno (L) with hints of Peruvian notes and the elegant Tuna Tataki with Matsuhita Dressing (R) to open up the palate with its fresh and clean flavors.


No seafood feast is complete without fresh and succulent Oysters. At Nobu Restaurant, diners can indulge in sweet plump oysters, freshly shucked and served with a variety of sauces from Yuzu, Ponzu, and Peruvian spices. Have another half-dozen, and come back for more.


Nobu Restaurant transforms the traditional Chirashi into ornate little boxes with Japanese rice topped with a variety of fresh seafood. The miniature creations feed the eyes before the palate, a style often associated with traditional Japanese cuisine. But Chef Nobu Matsuhisa elevates this massive visual feast with that perfect finish of subtle and balanced notes to delight the palate for a sensory experience. Don't be fooled with these small servings, the lavish selection of small bites can fill you up in no time.

Further down the wooden bar, diners are tempted with a variety of ornate Oshizushi, a "pressed" sushi with vinegared sushi rice topped with fresh seafood and placed in a special "oshibako" mould for picture-perfect rectangular creations that tastes as good as it looks. From fresh and seared salmon to tuna, take your pick.


For the savory mains, Nobu Restaurant offers a variety of beef, chicken and seafood main courses like the Salmon Honey Soy Glazed with the buttery melt-in-your-mouth sweetness of premium salmon complemented by the sharp sweetness of the dark honey and soy glaze.

You'll find familiar favorites too, like the popular Okonomiyaki (L)  topped with seafood and bonito flakes and hearty savory creations like the Shrimp Wasabi Pepper (R) to add to your feast. Modern and traditional, you'll find both culinary expressions here at Nobu Restaurant. And there's more. So much more...

The staff regularly brings out even more tasty morsels fresh from the kitchen, like Glazed Tofu, Crispy Chicken in Sesame Aioli and fresh Daikon Rolls (L) to keep you busy. A plate of fresh hand-rolled Maki and plump Oysters gets you on the right track until the next plate...


...with even more tasty bites. It's the kind of buffet where you can enjoy your own pace without the usual crowds allowing you to savor each bite. That's the way to enjoy Sunday brunch.


At the Yakitori Station, choose from Beef, Chicken, Pork, Salmon, Octopus, Chicken Skin, Mushroom, Eggplant and Leeks delicately skewered and grilled to perfection. You can opt for the traditional Japanese dips or try something different like the Anticucho made with Peruvian peppers for a burst of deep, smoky and nutty notes to complement the skewers.


At the Carving Station, the Roast Aromatic Pork awaits. The hefty slab of pork is slow-roasted for hours for a tender and juicy finish capped by a lightly crisp layer of crackling. As the pork is sliced, an audible crackle announces the coming pork feast.

Paired with flavorful Seafood Rice (L), the Roast Aromatic Pork delivers the savory richness we all love followed by gently seasoned hints that will have you going back for another slice. A squeeze of lemon adds a vibrant layer of flavor to complete the dish. Diners can also choose from a variety of special sauces at the Carving Station.  


How can you not have second servings? Tender and juicy pork with a delicate sweetness contrasting with the light and airy crispness of the crackling, it just doesn't get better than that.  


For dessert, Nobu Restaurant equally impresses with an indulgent selection of decadent treats...


...but it's the tempting duo of Macadamia Pistachio Cake that had me going back for more...


...along with the Chocolate Cookie Cake, two must-try desserts at Nobu Restaurant. Pair it with a scoop or two of velvety smooth vanilla ice cream, just perfect. With its firm and chewy texture replicating the much loved chocolate chip cookie, each slice and bite rounds out a perfect Sunday brunch at Nobu Restaurant.

At the Dessert Station, diners can't miss the elaborate Green Tea Chocolate Fountain where you can dip fresh fruits like strawberries and cake and come back for more. Intricate pastries, cakes, fruit tarts and pies present mind-blowing choices for that perfect sweet ending at Nobu Restaurant's Sunday Brunch Buffet.


One more plate before calling it a day...


...until the Station Chef recommended their Chocolate Lava Cake fresh from the oven served with Vanilla Ice Cream, just how can you say no to that?
