Description:
Chef Nobu Matsuhisa has earned a devoted worldwide following for his creative, celebrity-approved sushi and Asian fusion cuisine. Following a 3-year stint in Peru (hence the ceviche and Pisco sours on the Nobu menu), Matsuhisa found himself in Los Angeles where he became friends with actor Robert De Niro, now one of his partners for the Nobu franchise installed at the Hard Rock Hotel. You may hear complaints about the restaurant's pricey fare, lean portions, and full-volume ambiance, but you'll be hard-pressed to argue with the textures, flavors, and beautiful presentations. House specialties include the broiled black cod with miso and the Sino-Latino scallops tiradito; when in doubt, entrust yourself to the chef with the omakase tasting menu.
