| - Now I understand why so many people are so crazy about Nobu. What a dining experience!
I'm not just talking about the food. I mean, if a restaurant has 20 something locations all over the world, it's a sure proof that the food is there. I was more impressed by my experience overall. Impeccable service along with unique ambiance, dining at Nobu will open your eyes to a whole another world of fine dining.
As soon as you walk into the restaurant, sole size of the restaurant itself will surprise you. Then, you'll be awed by origami decorations above the hostess stand, or stylish lounge areas of the restaurant. Ambiance of this restaurant is very unique. It's not as uptight as other fine dining restaurants, but just luxurious enough to impress.
We started with some cocktails (two of us), yamazaki sidecar for me and champagne 95 for her. Both drinks were strong, which is perfect! more the merrier :) both cocktails were excellent.
We had shishito peppers to start with, and they were perfect appetizers. Fried crispy and with a spicy kick, they certainly had our appetites going. We had shrimp kushiyaki (skewers) in anticucho sauce, and they were delicious! Anticucho, as explained by our server, is Peruvian chili that Chef Nobu began to use for his cooking back in his days in Peru. It had very unique flavors, and we both loved it. Next item on agenda was Nobu's famous black cod miso, which was outstanding! I'm usually not a big fan of broiled fish, but miso-glazed black cod certainly changed my perspective on that. In To top it all off, we had beef tobanyaki, which is beef tenderloin cooked in a stone pot with mixed mushrooms and vegetables. This was certainly the highlight of the meal, as tenderloin was cooked so perfectly and sauces used complemented the tenderloin so well.
I can say dining at Nobu was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I'll certainly be back.
