Inside Nobu Hotel Atlantic City: Premium Ocean View Room and Dining Tour
By Elena Rostova
The adjoining Nobu restaurant spans roughly 10,000 square feet, looking straight out over the wooden planks of the Boardwalk toward the surf. Large floor-to-ceiling glass windows ensure ocean views stay front and center, whether diners sit at the main sushi counter, the low cocktail tables, or private dining rooms.
Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s established menu transitions smoothly to the Atlantic coast. The kitchen executes his foundational cross-cultural staples:
- Marinated for days in sweet mirin, sake, and white miso, then broiled until caramelized. The fish flakes easily with a fork, balancing rich sweetness against deep umami.
- Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeño: Ultra-thin cuts of hamachi paired with paper-thin jalapeño rounds, floating in yuzu soy sauce with a microdot of garlic puree.
- Fried crisp in a light batter and tossed in a spicy, creamy yuzu sauce, delivering contrasting texture and heat.
- Cooked over hot river stones or flash-seared tataki style, served with dipping sauces that highlight the marbled beef.
The beverage menu features exclusive sakes from the Hokusetsu Brewery in Niigata, Japan, alongside bespoke cocktails like the Matsuhisa Martini and smoky Japanese whisky flights. Dinner reservations for weekend slots fill up weeks in advance, drawing patrons who travel down from Philadelphia and New York purely for the dining room.
