| - Truly disappointing on several levels. The quality of the fish was simply not that good. I'm not even comparing it to Sugarfish (highly recommended), but merely to local LA places like Brothers Sushi in Woodland HIlls. When I'm paying Nobu prices, I expect better than Woodland Hills sushi, know what I mean?
The portion sizes were, frankly, skimpy. I will credit them for serving a real Salmon Roll, whereas many sushi places use pieces of meat that has been broiled/burnt, this was real salmon skin, just like the good places do it.
The prices are really astronomical...and given that they all buy their fish from the same place(s), pretty ridiculous. Hey, I've had sushi in Japan with businesses, and even paid for it one time -- a vertiginous buying experience that will affirm to you that Amex truly does have no credit limit on your card -- so I do know good and even great sushi. This is not it.
The service was, and I'm not sure if this makes sense, but obsessively and (worse) aggressively obsequious. This guy would continually hover over us explaining to us how (and exactly) whatever we wanted would be taken care of by him of the sushi chef. Very intrusive, and I realize now it was the exact opposite of the very non-intrusive servile style found in sushi places world wide.
