Note:
Located in mid-twon where all the luxury businesses are. A group of the paparazzi photographers at door, waiting for any well known faces appear. Fortunately, the new and old Nobu dishes are as excellent as always. The duplex style space decorated by Ddavid Rockwell with many Japanese lanterns and hanging abalone shells. The most of waiters are well trained.

Recommend: Shishito Peppers, Lobster Ceviches, Oyster in Filo, Rock Shrimps Tempura with Creamy Spicy Sauce, Washu or kobe beef tataki, Black Cod with Miso, Soft Shell Crab Roll. Hot sake.

Positive:
It's wonderful to end a long shopping day at the trendy down stair bar, where serve great cocktail, sake and even the delicious signature dishes. The lighting is agreeable for dinning, the waiters are good. Beautiful Shushi bar.

Negative:
The entrance is ridiculously small. The reservation table guy is badly educated. Credit card needed for guarantee while consuming down stair. Noisy. Tacky salon ceiling. Reservation at least a month advance. No car park service and table won't lease till all guests arrived. The respect and PR are proudly lost here. Annoying paparazzi at door.
