A sushi-savvy clientele orders platters of sashimi and daily dishes cooked-up for the top chefs without wavering at the mouth-dropping prices.
The Food
At its best its ingenious sushi and Japanese cuisine derived from premium seafood ingredients hand-selected by personally trained Nobu chefs. Whether in LA or London, the crowd is always an assemblage of the pretty and rich who know no better Atkin’s feast than a sashimi-laden meal at Nobu. Opened in summer 2004, the restaurant duplicates the local izakayas found throughout Japan with a sexy swagger that’s authentically Vegas. The menu mixes traditional fish-finds like Hamachi and Toro sashimi or sushi with less-traditional Japanese items like duck breast with wasabi salsa and Kobe beef served to perfection.
Last Word
Sadly, there are a number of annoying first-time sushi eaters from the nether-regions of mid-America who howl and hiss their way through eel and California rolls.
