Go to London or New York or Beverly Hills and say "Nobu" and chances are you'll hear a contented, wistful sigh in response. The name is synonymous with excellence in groundbreaking Japanese cuisine, but surprisingly the Las Vegas location has been overlooked among fine dining experiences, perhaps because of its off-strip location or the rowdy reputation of the Hard Rock Resort in which it resides. They used to turn away 200 people a night at the Big Apple branch, but it's not hard to get a table at the Vegas Nobu, which also serves Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's outstanding blend of traditional Japanese entrees with a Latin American twist.

Some of the more exotic offerings, like the sashimi flavored with garlic, ginger and sesame seeds, slivers of red snapper with chili paste, or yellowtail with jalapeno, can be a bit intimidating. For those who prefer the basics, Nobu also offers chicken teriyaki. But the adventurous should go with the omakase, which translates loosely into "chef's choice." Prices range from under $20 for Matsushita's signature dish -- a three-day marinated cod seared and served with sweet miso sauce -- to more than $50 for a cut of beer-fed Kobe beef. The 15-seat sushi bar features 30 different items. Dress is casual, a necessity given its location, but the modern dining room is lovely. Even though it's the Hard Rock, you might be uncomfortable walking past the wall of live bamboo and polished black stones in a Linkin Park t-shirt.

  • COMPLETELY Over Rated

    you can get better sushi at any sushi restaurant in Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley for that matter! I don't get the hype. The tables were too close to one another and the menu was totally NOT CREATIVE, THANK YOU. I cannot understand the mentality of the clientele -- don't you people go out for sushi at home? give me a break. Nobu needs to pick it up a notch to be a quality restaurant in LV....pulllleeeeze

    The food is fantastic. Try the yellowtail jalapeno and the new style sashimi with the whitefish. The decor is fun, the staff is wonderful. Unlike sister restaurants on the coasts, reservations are accessible with reasonable notice (if you want to visit on the spur of the moment, show up shortly before 6 to be assured of a seat at the sushi bar at the 6 (ish) opening.

  • Great Food, No Class!

    The food is excellent! But, I went to make a reservation for my next trip to Vegas and Nobu wants me to sign a reservation contract with the right to charge my credit card if I cancil within 48 hours. Love the food, but don't need the attitude!

  • Fun place, let your waiter order for you!

    Went to Nobu over Halloween weekend. Definitely a "be seen" kind of place.
    We let our waiter, (PERRY!) order everything for us. We wanted to walk on the wild side here, and try something more than cucumber roles. Perry did not disappoint.
    The selections were fresh, best yellowtail tuna I've ever had and many other selections!
    I'll be going back!
