Don't sleep on this place it is LEGIT. I am so thankful restaurant week led me to Nobuo finally.
First Course:
Hassun (4 piece sampler anitpasto and sashimi plate) It was amazing Edamame chilled soup and Japanese Kimchi with dried shrimp were the highlights.
Sashimi Course:
Yellowtail and Grapefruit- Served on a spoon to get it all in one bite. The flavors were just amazing and paired very well together.
Entree Course:
Sea Bass & Japanese Mushrooms Baked in Parchment- This was absolutely AMAZING. I will go back just for this dish. I don't even like mushrooms and I don't think there was even one left when I finished this course. The sea bass was cooked perfectly to chopstick tender perfection. Then a little rice cake to soak up the sake juices with just really made this the perfect dish.
Dessert Course:
Arai Pastry Japanese Desserts- Three desserts from Arai Bakery in Tempe that were a perfect way to finish the meal. One cream puff with strawberry, a creme de caramel, and a orange mousse served on an orange peel.
I can't wait for my chance to head back to Nobuo to try more of the James Beard award winners cuisine. It is for sure top notch.
