| - This is literally going to be the hardest review I will ever write because this is LITERALLY THE BEST RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. Let's put this into perspective: I've been to one of the best restaurants in the world, Le Bernardin in New York City, which is three Michelin Stars. So by definition, I have eaten at a world renowned restaurant (which up until now, was the best restaurant I have ever been to). Yet, Nobu is the best restaurant I've ever eaten at. My uncle treated me, my best friend and boyfriend to an all expenses paid trip to Vegas, including dinner reservations to a couple amazing restaurants on the strip. When we arrived at Nobu, I was pretty tired from drinking (Vegas you know), so my friend and I waited to the side while my uncle and boyfriend got drinks at the bar. We were seated right on time at a regular table. Despite knowing that Nobu wasthe first to start Teppanyaki, we side-stepped the grill and went straight for the main menu. This is probably the best decision I have ever made in my life. We ordered so many dishes from all over the menu: yellowtail jalapeno, sashimi salad, wagyu beef tacos, miso black cod, teriyaki beef tenderloin, wagyu gyoza, shrimp and vegetables, toro roll and salmon roll. Before knowing anything about this restaurant, I thought of it like Sugarfish where the raw fish took center stage, but it was quite obvious that the hot dishes are the best things to order. Out of all of the things we ordred, we couldn't stop raving about the miso black cod and the beef tenderloin, mostly the cod though. We were talking about the black cod even after dinner the NEXT day AFTER eating at STK!!! This fish is really one of the best you can eat- its a really oily fish and my uncle says its very politically correct since they are raised in a very healthy, sustainable fishery lol. It is also referred to as a butterfish, which is what Roy's calls it if you've ever been there. The miso has the perfect amount of flavor and the fish just flakes off when you take a bite. In pictures it looks small but the portion size was very generous upon getting our plates! The Beef Tenderloin was cooked PERFECTLY medium, and even though the teriyaki was a little overpowering, the meat was prepared flawlessly. We only wish that the meat didn't come with any sauce at all because it really does speak for itself. Other honorable mentions are the wagyu tacos and yellowtail jalapeno. I'm not a big fan of yellowtail normally, but this particular fish and sauce were really delicious. Our family loves wagyu beef, so naturally we ordered a couple things with wagyu. These tacos had the perfect balance of textures, with the wonton shell and the tender, flavorful pieces of beef. The beef almost tasted like it was melting in your mouth! Being full Japansese myself, this place is definitely not traditional, but your server tells you that straight up. If you're looking for something that you'll find in Japan, you've come to the wrong place, but if you're looking for a restaurant that will blow you're freaking mind, THIS IS IT. Only complaint were the rolls - we thought that the fish would be whole but instead they were all chopped up which wasn't very impressive taste wise. Other than that, Nobu is a Japanese food experience of a lifetime, and one everyone should experience.
