| - Been here a few times as CES ritual. One star hands down is for their sushi menu and how nasty the quality and taste of their fish. It was so gross and after all these years, I continue hearing friends' upset and raging experience how bad their quality of all the fish is. I always forgot to remind my friends not to order anything fish related at this restaurant. And yes, they will sell you a $200 bottle of sake that tastes like water !
Four star for their teppanyaki and wagyu beef. It was a bummer that they refused to give us two seats at teppanyaki table even though I had reservation from few weeks back. I was craving for wagyu beef and been waiting all day for this meal. They said they could serve it at table too. We ordered it flamed style as that's pretty much the only decent option they offered, it was $38 an ounce vs what it says on their online menu $26 which is probably for non-ces days. We ordered 8 ounces and was very delish!! We ordered foie gras which they billed you $50 for an order. Yes it's Vegas and its Nobu that's known for the rip-off. While our server tried selling me caviar, I went for it but he was nice enough to repeat our order with price, and the small jar of three tea spoons full of sturgeon caviar cost $350!!!! I repeated myself to him 3 times and totally sounded silly. Of course I cancelled it !
Nobu is a place that is very tricky for their food and price. They raised menu price up 2x during ces or convention to balance out the business in slow season, and companies have the money to spend anyway! If you had loads of cash to spend, DO NOT ever order fish related item at this place, that said, don't even look at caviar either. Always go for cooked items such as miso black cod, beef items and so, to make the most of your meal!
They do have good selection of whiskey such as Japanese Yamazaki, Hibiki and Hakushu (not avail in the US) with reasonable price which means it's not doubled than their value . This is the reason that got me to give 3-star instead of 2!
