I came here for the Dessert Tasting Platter. \n\nI saw the dessert list and died a little at the unique, creative and hitherto unknown creations being offered. So did my boyfriend. We decided we had to make it to Nobu even if the apocalypse happened and giant flesh-eating gargoyles descended from the sky.\n\nI did not plan to have a full meal at all but wouldn't you know it, I did. Ahhh, I love when upscale Japanese restaurants live up to the hype.\n\nYellowtail with jalape\u00F1o: Tender slices of my fish soulmate in an amazing soy yuzu sauce with just a little kick. Most perfect dish ever.\n\nBeef tenderloin tabu yaki: Not quite as tender as kobe (is anything?) but delicious nonetheless.\n\nSpicy scallop roll: Fresh and tasty. The boyfriend was blown away by it, I thought it was good but otherwise unremarkable. I think raw scallop might be his yellowtail, though.\n\nBlack cod with miso: Their signature dish. It's really hard to find fault with it. Tender, melt-in-your-mouth fish in a sweet, light sauce. It should be heavy, but it's not. That's the miracle of Japanese cooking.\n\nSpicy seafood soup: My favorite kind of food--soupy, spicy, seafoody. Oh, and as an added bonus, loaded with more varieties of mushroom than a drug farmer. I have seen heaven and it's inside this bowl. Get it!\n\nNow on to the Nobu Dessert Platter:\n\nBento Box: Flourless chocolate cake with a white chocolate sauce, shiso syrup and green tea ice cream. Like a Japanese molten cake. Did I mention that molten cake is like edible carnal sex? Well, it is. So get this. Just don't go all Matrix Reloaded in the restaurant.\n\nTrio of mochi: Lessee, we got pumpkin spice, strawberry, and some flavor not known to man, stuffed with ice-cream and accompanied by sour Japanese mountain peaches. Mmm...\n\nBananas in phyllo dough with tropical glaze: Original creation not on the regular menu (haha!). It's crispy, fried bananas. Need I say more?\n\nHaromajis in cinnamon and sugar and center is sweet potato pur\u00E9e: I totally didn't spell that right and since it's another original creation, I have no menu to look at. Already tried googling and found nothing. Anyway, this was incredible. I hate sweet potato and I thought this was da bomb. Yeah, I'm channeling 2001 lingo.\n\nEat here."^^ . "0"^^ .
