We found this restaurant accidentally as we were waiting for next door Brazilian Restaurant 'Fogo de Chao' to open. We decided to try it on the following day.
It was nice to smell fresh air as soon as we arrived at the location. Just to show that whoever runs the restaurant take the standard of health and hygiene seriously. As you all know, dealing with raw fish is quite tricky as it can pick up bacteria very quickly. And that is the last thing that we would want.
Anyways... the restaurant itself was quite small, with stools at the bar and several wooden tables and chairs. Very down to earth. But it obviously very popular place as it fills up very quickly.
We started with a big platter of salmon sushi, tuna sushi, salmon-roe sushi, soft shell crab temaki, spicy tuna temaki, california roll, and so on that went well with chilled Junmai Daiginjo sake. We were rather impressed, though to be honest we had better sushis somewhere else. But at least, what we had at Nobu Matsuhisa were made fresh, rice was slightly warm, the fish was cold and the nori was adequately crisp.
We were a bit shock with the bill though. We understood that Nobu restaurants in Berkeley Street, London and Las Vegas earned a Michelin star each, but this one in Beverly Hills did not, yet they charged Michelin prices. We will not come too often then...
