Editorial Review for Nobu – by Amanda Howe
The Scene
Kodak Theater architect David Rockwall redesigned the old Beau Nash space to create a dramatic backdrop for food that is more a work of art than a meal. Birchwood tree sculptures shed soft light on backlit stenciled blossoms cut in brushed metal and fastened to taupe pillars, dark woodblock flooring, and a wall of black river stones.
The Food
Start with a cold dish and move on to a hot dish followed by sushi. Mild shishito peppers are an exotic alternative to edamame. The yellow tail tartar topped with caviar and a Japanese mountain peach is smooth and buttery with a hint of wasabi fire. Signature dishes include the inventive Peruvian style spicy salmon skewers, pink and tender filets lightly drizzled in ancho chile sauce. Red meat aficionados savor the thinly sliced beef tobanyaki served piping hot in a clay dish with baby asparagus, white shiitake and grilled Portobello mushrooms.

Went for our 5th anniv with high expectations and for the most part they were met. Although we had very friendly service and were seated promptly when we arrived early...overall the service was very standard. Not amazing service like you expect from this level of restaurant. Nice folks, and at times on the ball just think I was expecting more. The good - the hot and cold dishes were very good; the sushi great. I'll admit the tempura, California rolls and soft shell crab roll were very good quality but fairly standard in taste and presentation. Now you move into tuna and WOW. I mean WOW. If it had tuna, it was amazing. The tuna with cilanto cold dish - fantastic. The spicy tuna roll - glorious. I mean I hate spicy tuna roll, tried this one and was blown away. Truly amazing. We actually loved everything but there were 3-4 dished that just blew the rest away. Dessert was great too. Delicious green te ice cream but the mochi ice cream was superb. Well worth the money and absolutely delicious. We will drive to Dallas (from Austin) just to have it again. Think $90-100 per person without drinks.
Pros: tuna!, mochi ice cream
Cons: parking attendants at hotel

Pretty good food, great service, great managers. Was very pretentious though. Figures... full of Dallas's "VIP's". Not a complaint against Nobu, but the people whom it caters to are stuck up snobs.
Pros: Food, Ambience, Service
Cons: clientel
