Restaurant in Burswood WA 6100, Australia
Nobu Perth
World-renowned restaurant at Crown Towers serving signature Nobu-style cuisine. Japanese dishes with South American influences in luxurious setting.
Nobu Perth is the Western Australian outpost of the globally acclaimed Nobu restaurant group, founded by celebrated chef Nobu Matsuhisa and partners including Robert De Niro. Situated within Crown Towers in Burswood, approximately five kilometres from Perth's CBD, the restaurant delivers the signature Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine that built the Nobu brand across major world cities from Los Angeles to Tokyo.
The dining room occupies a striking space within the Crown complex, with low lighting, rich textures, and a composed atmosphere suited to business entertaining and special-occasion dining alike. The noise level sits at a convivial moderate — lively enough to feel energetic, controlled enough for conversation.
The menu at Nobu Perth follows the hallmarks of the global brand. Black cod miso — a dish so closely associated with Matsuhisa that it has become emblematic of the restaurant worldwide — arrives after a 72-hour marination in sweet white miso, producing a flaky, caramelised result of deep umami character. Yellowtail jalapeño, thin-sliced kingfish with ponzu and fresh chilli, offers a bright, clean counterpoint. The omakase and chef's selection menus allow the kitchen to guide guests through sashimi, tiradito, tempura, and robata preparations in sequence; ordering à la carte provides greater flexibility for groups with varied preferences. The robata counter produces wagyu beef and seasonal seafood grilled over charcoal, while the raw bar draws on Peruvian ceviche and tiradito tradition for South American inflection.
The wine programme pairs international selections with sake and Japanese whisky, and bar staff are comfortable guiding combinations across both formats. Cocktails incorporate house infusions and Japanese spirits.
Reservations at Nobu Perth are strongly advised for dinner service, particularly on weekends and during Crown's event calendar. Weekend tables are typically bookable two to four weeks in advance; midweek availability opens more readily and occasional last-minute places appear at the bar. Smart-casual attire is expected; there is no formal dress code beyond this.
Price point sits at the upper end of Perth's restaurant market. À la carte mains range from approximately AUD 40 to AUD 80; signature dishes such as the black cod miso are priced at AUD 68. A full dinner for two with drinks routinely reaches AUD 300 or above. Dinner is the primary format at the Perth location.
