Profile
This hallowed establishment still ranks among the 40 top restaurants in town, but not by much. The great fusion chef Nobu Matsuhisa has done enough innovating to span several culinary lifetimes, and, more than most things cooked up during the nineties, his miso-marinated black cod, rock shrimp with spicy mayonnaise, and tuna tartare with a bed of crushed avocado all have stood the test of time. But the sushi has never been great, and with 39 Nobu outlets now scattered around the globe, it’s becoming clear that franchising has its costs.
Recommended DishesKumamoto oysters with Maui onion salsa, $18; black cod with miso, $40; Omakase dinner, starts at $175 per person
