At Nobu the chef recommends you eat family style sampling various items from the menu sharing them like appetizers. First you should eat the cold foods, then the hot dishes, then end with the sushi. This is because the rice fills you up so saving it to the end allows you to get a lot of other stuff in. Ironically, we already had our order mapped out this way before the waiter told us this was how to order. We were on board.

Nobu didn't disappoint. It lived up to the hype: atmosphere, energy, and of course the food was a: great and made for an enjoyable experience.

Lychee Martini
Amazing. One of the best martini's I've had. Smooth. Fresh. Succulent.
Warning to people with texture problems - the Lychee nuts are a highly chewy and slimey combo, I had to give mine to Nicole because they reminded me of floating eyeballs. Still delicious and didn't stop me from enjoying it.
INGREDIENTS:
1 measure (50ml) premium vodka
2 tsp fresh lychee juice
ice
1 lychee, peeled and stoned

Spicy Miso Chips
Freshly chopped chunks of Big Eye Tuna sitting on top of lotus root-shaped chips dabbed with a bit of sweet sauce, topped with a leaf of cilantro. I could have eaten about 10 of these for starters.

Sashimi Tacos
Premium cuts of Lobster, Crab, and Tuna with a pinch of Maldon salt, topped with a sweet salsa chunks of onions and cilantro. Next time I would order two of these. Maybe my favorite dish of the night. I found the recipe online too so I plan to recreate them on my own.

Sashimi Salad w/ Matsuhisa Dressing
Delicious fresh slabs of tuna sashimi, the outer rim of fish coated with sweet blackened pepper in finely minced onions and shoyu sauce on a bed of mixed baby greens and shredded Japanese radish. The sauce was delectable and had almost a wood fire roasted taste.

Pumpkin Tempura
Another favorite of my Nobu experience

Big Eye Tuna Rolls
Spicy Big eye tuna rolls wrapped in black seaweed with a thin layer of tempura and asparagus stalks in the middle.

Tuna Avacado tempura rolls, Salmon, and Hamachi
Amazing roll, salmon and yellowtail were good and fresh.
