Bellevue’s dining scene is about to get a major addition. Global luxury brand Nobu has officially announced plans to open its first Pacific Northwest restaurant in Downtown Bellevue, bringing one of the world’s most recognizable names in hospitality to the Eastside.
The new restaurant will be located within Avenue Bellevue, the luxury mixed-use development just steps from Bellevue Square. Known for blending Japanese cuisine with Peruvian influences, Nobu has built a worldwide following for signature dishes like Black Cod Miso, Yellowtail Jalapeño, and expertly crafted sushi in beautifully designed spaces.
But the restaurant is only part of the story. Avenue Bellevue’s two residential towers will also become Nobu Residences, making Bellevue home to the brand’s first residential offering in the United States. The move further cements Downtown Bellevue’s growing reputation as a destination for luxury living, dining, and hospitality.
Since it was completed in 2023, many locals have wondered what restaurants would eventually fill Avenue Bellevue’s retail spaces. Nobu’s arrival feels like a major milestone, not only for the development itself but for Bellevue’s evolving culinary scene. The restaurant is expected to open in 2027 and will join a growing collection of high-end dining experiences that continue to reshape Downtown Bellevue.
As Bellevue grows into a more walkable, vibrant urban center, additions like Nobu highlight the city’s transformation into a destination that attracts world-class brands while creating new experiences for residents and visitors alike. Whether you're a longtime fan of Nobu or simply excited to see what's next for Downtown Bellevue, this is one opening that will be worth watching.
