Generous Nobu diner pays bill for every guest at the Crown Sydney restaurant

A generous and possibly very wealthy Nobu diner, picked up the tab for everyone’s meal in the Crown Sydney restaurant on Monday.

Nobu is known for its fine dine experience, where guests can pay from $6 each for Nigiri and Sashami to $98 for Lobster Wasabi Pepper, or Japanese Wagyu A5 at $275.

In the restaurant on Monday night was Australian TV and radio host Sami Lukis who said she was “shocked” at the generosity.

“An incredible random act of kindness tonight from a stranger who paid EVERY tables bill at Nobu restaurant in Sydney (including mine),” she wrote in a tweet.

“Thank you to one incredibly generous stranger. And I really hope you see this.”

She later tweeted: “The waiter called it ‘a random act of kindness’. The incredibly generous stranger probably won’t see this … but … thank you.”

A Crown Sydney spokesperson said of the diner’s generosity: “It’s always nice to hear stories like these where someone carries out a random act of kindness.

“Nobu is one of the most recognised Japanese restaurant brands in the world and each week thousands of people visit to experience its signature flair. 

“We’re certain the guests who were enjoying their dining experience must have been delighted by this extraordinary act of generosity.”

Nobu has restaurants in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, with the harbour city venue recently creating a weekend Teishoku breakfast menu featuring Banana Miso, Scrambled Egg Donburi and Shiso Benedict.

Famed dishes at the Japanese fusion restaurant include Black Cod Miso and Yellowtail Jalapeño.
