My friend and I came to OBI for dinner and had such a great experience. The atmosphere was stylish and vibrant, the service was attentive and welcoming, and every dish we tried was outstanding. The food was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and perfect for sharing. The staff made us feel genuinely taken care of throughout the evening, and everything arrived quickly despite the restaurant being busy. We left impressed by both the food and the overall experience. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!
I'll start with the good . The atmosphere of this place is top - nice decor ,live dj set which is rare for a restaurant.
In terms of the food , they said it ahead but it isn't Japanese cuisine ,it is an interpretation.
And unfortunately it under delivers - nothing stood out . It's not that it was bad ,but I expected much more.
So I would argue that it is more of a bar experience (Izakaya as they mention ) than culinary experience - but the problem is that the food is not drinking food for an izakaya ,it tries to refined in small dishes and high price .
It would have been 5/5 if I would have rated it as a bar.
OBI is just a massive vibe from the second you walk into that dark, moody space.
The sound system is next level—you get those deep, crisp vinyl tracks that actually let you breathe.
It feels like a secret club where the music is the priority, but the food somehow steals the show.
Those yakitori skewers coming off the charcoal grill are smoky, salty perfection and totally addictive.
The raw fish plates are super fresh and the drinks hit exactly how they should when the energy picks up.
I have to mention Noam the manager he took care of everything we needed and gave us the best recommendations.
He is such a wonderful guy and truly made the night perfect its easily the coolest spot in the city.
We visited OBI as a group of four and had an amazing experience. We were seated quickly, the service was absolutely flawless from start to finish, and the staff were attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the evening. Every dish we ordered was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, making it hard to choose a favorite. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. OBI truly delivers on every level, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!
The food was lovely. Deli ate and very tasty. The dishes are not big and you need to order many dishes in order to feel replete. The music was too loud and the restaurant was too dark.
The service was good and Noa the waiteres was very nice.
