Matsuhisa - Beverly Hills

Ugh, lord knows how much I love this place and crave their food. The fish is always so fresh and delicious. Everything is prepared beautifully, cut evenly and thin to perfection and the sauces are yummy. I love coming here, I love the menu and the staff is always so kind. One of the waiters once recommend the bento box for dessert and I was so confused what was going to come out and when I saw this beautiful chocolate lava cake I almost passed out. It was DELICIOUS. I wish the restaurant interior and outdoor seating was nicer especially for the price we're paying but regardless good sushi is worth it.

Why was this place so packed for a Thursday night ? Maybe because this is the OG spot or Nobu and what created the Nobu brand and culinary powerhouse. This is the first original Nobu restaurant and the taste and flavors of the food prove it right. I always love sitting at the sushi bar when going out for sushi but they have both an inside and outdoors seating. I started off with the red snapper and the chef was quick to remind me no sauce cause it would just kill the delicious butter taste of salt and snapper mixed into one melting in your mouth. I followed that up with an uni shooter and half shell of oysters. Delicious. I continued with some rice crispy tuna twist, where they serve the rice on a stick and give you the side of tuna to put on top yourself. I finished that off with a seared tuna sushi and a crab hand roll. I washed all of this down with the matsuhisa martini which I was not a fan of, but hey, when in Rome. Gotta try the new stuff when you can. All of it was delicious! This place clearly has a lot of regulars, obviously based on how busy they were and the chefs familiarity with their guests. It 's a must try and you can 't go wrong with any of the food they have on their extensive (and I mean extensive) diverse menu.

Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's first restaurant in Beverly Hills, Matsuhisa. We did the Omakase tasting (the $250 pp option comes with higher quality food items than the $200 option). The food was delicious and service was on par! The hosts were super helpful and kind while the servers were very attentive. The restaurant isn't loud and there's a side patio too. The omakase tasting included several sashimi and sushi options, wagyu A5 beef with truffle butter, grilled toro, miso soup, caviar taco, and dessert. It was all delicious!

Service was ok, not super attentive. We were seated in the outside which didn't feel as luxurious but that's ok. I personally didn't love that all sushi comes with wasabi but that's my own preference. The fish was very fresh, very good generous pieces. Drinks were also very good.

Space is definitely limited and very busy. Had a very great menu and they are quick with getting food out but for some reason drinks took a long time to get. Had a variety of different dishes but my favorite was the black cod. Perfect cooked and delicious! Would consider trying again if im close by but wouldn't go out of my way. They have valet parking but also gets full and the street parking is also tough.
