| - Not worth the hype.
Nobu isn't a Japanese restaurant, it's a new age sushi restaurant. They may have borrowed their name from New York, but that's about where the similarities end.
Service was friendly, but brisk. They clearly wanted to get us in and out of there since we were sitting at the bar.
We ordered miso soup, the four kelp salad (their version of a seaweed salad), tamago, the Chilean sea bass with a dried miso sauce, and chicken teriyaki. The miso was standard, and the tamago was much larger than what I'm used to, but both were good. Kelp salad was a little too fishy for me, but then again, I had my heart set on seaweed salad. Both the Chilean sea bass and the chicken teriyaki were merely good, but not good enough for the ticket ($45 and $30 respectively) and neither came with rice.
So why the three stars? We just weren't overwhelmed. Nobu wasn't an impressive dining experience, and in this town, if you don't have experience, why bother?
