| - Be forewarned, yes the food here is pricey, so most of you wonder if the food really worth it's price? I believe it is, and this was only my 2nd time here.
I made a reservation for 1 at 8pm on Monday, and was seated as soon as I showed up at 7:50pm.
The first time was right before New Years in December and that time I had the Chef's Daily Creations Omakase for $225/pp with 2 other people. However, this time I had the $150 Nobu Signature Omakase (was $125 in 2017).
This 7 course plus soup and dessert tasting menu is well worth it and was much different from the Chef's Daily Creations Omakase.
Before choosing the Omakase, I decided to go with the Kikori Old Fashioned cocktail which Yesenia, my server procured for me quite quickly. I ended up drinking a total of 2 over the course of my meal. The Kikori Old Fashioned is highly recommended if you like whiskey and Old Fashioneds. The serving size is worth it for its price.
The service throughout the whole tasting menu was superb, so if you are willing to do an Omakase please set aside at least 1 hour and 45 minutes to fully enjoy the meal and all the courses.
From my calculations all the food I received cost $230 with portion size taken into account.
My top 3 favorite dishes throughout this tasting were the aged Bluefin tuna, toro tartare, and black cod miso.
The aged Bluefin tuna was unlike any other tuna nigiri I've had, it melted in my mouth and had so much flavor that I've never experienced before. As a sushi lover, this is a must each time you go to Nobu.
The toro tartare, was something I initially did not expect to like, however after the first scoop, I was amazed at the blend of the sauce, toro, and caviar.
The signature black cod miso, was just as expected. Cooked perfectly, portioned well, and had extra sauce if you want more flavor. It's a must at Nobu if you want one of his signature dishes.
The other dishes were also superb, but those 3 stood out in my opinion.
To finish out the tasting menu the chocolate molten lava cake paired with fruit and green tea ice cream was icing on the cake to end the meal.
Overall the SIgnature Omakase tasting menu has less food than the Chef's Daily Creations, but is well worth it if you have never been to Nobu and would like to taste what he's known for.
Now having done both, I might order a la carte, or do another tasting just for the value.
