Nobu (NYC, NY)

If you want a fancy Japanese sushi restaurant, with very good service and a nice ambiance, then Nobu is what you should try. There are 3 Nobu's in Manhattan but the one on Hudson street is the original, and most laid back.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
At Nobu the sushi specialty roll is salmon, crab and tuna, wrapped in rice and radish. It was good but not the best sushi ever. Also with the eel maki, it was good but not outstanding as I expected it to be. The tuna and eel hand rolls were amazing! They were actually succulent, and a little moist. If you go to Nobu you can't just get sushi, you have to try their wide variety of hot Japanese food. Their specialty is blackened cod with miso sauce. In my opinion that is the best cod I have ever had. It was a huge full piece of cod, coated in a sweet sauce. It was so tender and it melted in your mouth. Also you try the lobster. It is stir fried with a mixture of vegetables, such as carrots, mushrooms, scallions and basil. It was just impeccable, and delicious. Also, we had the rock shrimp tempura. It was crunchy with a hot and spicy sauce. The tempura was not overly coating the shrimp, thus giving it a delicate tempura flavor. Also try the tempura style fish and chips. It was a tempura fried white fish, with seasoned, delicious sweet potato fries. It had the best tempura fry. Crunchy and crunchy ;). We also had a spicy seafood soup. The soup was spicy and clean, with lots of lobster, shrimp, scallops and squid. Also if you have all of those dishes, you need rice. Nobu's rice is a special rice from Japan. It is sticky rice, but not to sticky. DESSERTS: Nobu has a great variety of deserts. We tasted caramelized banana with vanilla ice cream, mochis, espresso moose and chocolate cake block.The banana was sweet and decident, and a hot and cold fusion. The mochis were in three different flavors: Blueberry, Green Tea and Tiramisu.The moose was velvety chifanne like, with a smoothe texture. The cake block was servered with raspberry sauce and fresh raspberrys. It sure was special.
