7/2: Nobu Hard Rock rivals Yellowtail @Bellagio as my all-time favorite restaurant. I've been here one previous time and I don't remember much, but nothing bad. I just kept comparing it to my favorite, which is kind of unfair. However, this time was different...very memorable in a good way.
My server Gordon and his waitstaff team's service was amazing! I had the locals tasting menu ($75) and it was worth every penny. Every dish was cordially described in just the right amount of detail before being served. All questions were answered in a friendly manner. The atmosphere was very nice and classy as well. Beautiful decor.
-Kobe Beef Taco (as an appetizer, separate from tasting menu)...best taco ever! beef was soft and moist
-Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno (best sashimi i've ever had by far! so soft and fresh. price tag aside, i could go for 10 of these plates! though that might be too much of a good thing)
-Tuna Sashimi Salad (love it. best tuna ever)
-Rock Shrimp Tempura with Creamy Spicy (best shrimp ever...you're getting the point! i didnt know shrimp could taste this good)
-Black Cod Miso (this and the yellowtail sashimi were my favorite dishes...high praise for these 2 seems to be the trend based off of many reviews. definitely no disagreement here. best fish ever! if you are ordering one item, i highly recommend it)
-Assorted Sushi and Miso Soup (basics but pretty good. large scallops were added to the soup. unique taste and interesting twist compared to standard miso soup. delicious!)
-Dessert (strawberry, vanilla, green tea mochi ice cream)...all were great. not really a complaint, but a variety of desserts is preferred. im sure they would be amazing like everything else as well.
Thank you Nobu, for one of the best dining experiences ever. I will definitely be back!
