Matsuhisa
Hours: Mon.-Fri.,11:45 a.m.-2:15 p.m.; daily, 5:45-10:15 p.m. Readers' rating:  Reader reviews: Write a review | Read other reviews Nobu Matsuhisa has restaurants from here to New York, London and Paris -- even Tokyo. But Matsuhisa is the original, where he honed his peculiar fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavors. The straightforward sushi is excellent, but his regulars can't get enough of "new-style sashimi" doused with warm olive oil, squid "pasta" with asparagus, and seafood perked up with his signature sauces. The presentation is arresting, and the
normally austere Japanese palette of flavors is punched up with garlic, chile, even butter. Reserve a seat at the tempura bar, which serves an omakase (chef's choice) that includes his latest creations.

Keith Lee Monterey Park, CA We went to Matsuhisa to celebrate a very special birthday last night. We all ordered the $80.000 or the $100.00 omakase dinner hoping to enjoy the magical creations that made Matsuhisa or Nobu so special. We were all very disappointed by the uninspiring, simple menu, and below average service that we received. It is very obvious that the “magic” no longer exist and it has become just another very expensive chain restaurant. February 13, 2006
