Nothing Like Nobu

If I were Sandra Bullock or someone who had tons of money I would do my body good by eating healthy twice a week  at Nobu.  The last time we were there was 6 months ago. We usually just let our server know we are game for anything; no diet restrictions with the exception of one vegetarian and one that had a touch of gout plus a stress fracture!

There were 10 adults in our party and one very well behaved Maisie Mireille.

We had Shima aji ( Jack fish) with Jalapeno, Kanpachi  and Yagara with truffle dry miso. Then we had Albacore and some fish topped with caviar. They ALL just melted in our mouths. Alma had a Squid pasta which wasn't really pasta, it was just shaped like pasta. Ross could not eat most of the stuff so he ordered Fish and Chips. This was no ordinary fish and chips; the enticing presentation itself posed a challenge likened to the game of jenga.

We had a variety of Tacos; wagyu, tuna and veggie. They were all delicious. I remember having these on our last visit. I was impressed with the taco shells as they were the light, crispy and tasty.
We had to have the signature dish which was the Black Cod with miso. I have tried to make this several times and could never get it right. For the finale, we had the Japanese Wagyu Flambe which was absolutely wonderful. It was so tender that it almost seemed like you were eating sushi.

We had several desserts to share. Banana Caramel Soy Tobanyaki, Claudis Carrot Cake, Bento Box and the Kamameshi Halo Halo which is unlike the Filipino Halo Halo. This was served warm with the ice cream. Once you've had the "real" halo halo, you wouldn't settle for any imitation. Well, everyone is entitled to make their version.

Like I said before, Nobu is the only place I will eat anything raw as they know how to it right. Nobuyuki (Nobu) Matsuhisa is truly a magician!

Nobu is located at 903 N. La Cienega Blvd. in Beverly Hills.
