Sensei By Nobu - LANAI CITY

Exquisite. Beautiful experience. I loved every second. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner at Sensei by Nobu. It's also super beautiful inside, with live trees growing in the center. It also feels so quiet and peaceful. I can hear myself think. The staff was SO nice, polite, and understanding. They make you feel at home and comfortable. The meal tasted so fresh... reading the pamphlet they stated the farm-to-table was within footsteps away. I find that so impressive! For breakfast we enjoyed a multitude of samplings from the Japanese Breakfast set. From miso to salmon, everything was delicious. We ended up having two desserts for dinner. Both equally as good. The second dessert had this incredible and brittle crunch which was complimented by creamy ice-cream and filling in-between the layers. My friend ordered these veggies and tofu pieces for dinner and the dish came with a small skillet where the veg/tofu could be cooked. And of course the presentation of the meal was beautiful. Do not come to Nobu to save money! Stay away if you're on a strict budget... I feel like it's virtually impossible to stay under at-least $20 dollars unless you're just ordering a dessert or a small drink. Our order totaled over $70 each time we dined. Very worth it for the expensive though! It's serene. ALSO the interior... oh my goodness. It's absolutely breathtaking, I felt as if I was dining inside a magazine spread. Thank you Sensei Nobu!!

Beautiful restaurant, amazing service and great food. Honestly no complaints. Highly recommend

Heads up: you can only dine here if you stay at the Four Seasons. I never leave bad reviews, however I had been looking forward to dining here with my wife on our first trip to Lanai since I started planning the trip. I called and was abruptly told they do not allow outside visitors, you can only dine here if you are staying at the Four Seasons. Nowhere is this stated on the restaurant page, local people we asked about the restaurant said we had to try it, so we planned on it. Serving this level of disappointment is bad for people's mental health and wellness. It really bummed me out. Hope to update this very soon with other insights.

Delightful! I had several meals at Sensei by Nobu throughout my stay. Thankfully the one restaurant on site is stellar for breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings. Much like the entire Sensei experience, the service at the restaurant is above and beyond. Definitely snag a table outside in the shade for a comfortable and scenic breakfast. Evenings can be cooler but blankets are graciously provided. Anytime I see a Japanese breakfast on a menu, it's a hands down must order for me. I particularly enjoyed the onsen egg and simmered vegetables. The poi donut was also a tasty treat. One thing that Sensei by Nobu does really well is flavorful broths. I was smitten with the shabu shabu although it is a smaller portion. The whitefish tempura with the calamansi sauce was also a standout.

I am truly grateful for the time I spent here, savoring the exceptional and thoughtfully crafted menu, as well as the wonderful people who contribute to the magical atmosphere. It was an amazing dining experience, and I can't wait to return. Thank you so much!
