Nobu Waikiki

Introducing: http://www.noburestaurants.com/waikiki/experience/introduction/

Located in the beginning of Waikiki off Lewers Street near Roy's and Yard House

I don't know about you but me and my hub LOVE to try tartar especially if its good quality. So of course we asked for the BEST option and they gave it to us:

This is the Bigeye & Bluefin Toro  33

This dish was TINY in size HUGE on flavor and QUALITY!

If you have the $$ to savor the flavor SPLURGE yall its worth it ;)

Check that out! Now, for those of you who aren't familiar w/the bluefin tuna. It is one of the most expensive fish sold all over the world. In fact the most it ever got sold for was in 2001 in Japan's famous Tsukiji Fish Market for $400,000. I did feel bad after eating it again because I know how over harvested these poor creatures are but, I had to try it once.

Moving on.....This was the 2nd dish we had which is the 

Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno   20 

One of the very popular dishes there and I can understand why. Everything was so GOOD! Like I mentioned before QUALITY fish! I typically won't spend this much on such a small dish but tonight it was all about QUALITY! It was great and I would highly recommend this dish to you.

This is the salmon/avocado roll. It looked tiny and nothing out of the ordinary but when we took our first bite we were AMAZED how filled they were in the inside and the flavor and QUALITY was there!

Tempura shitake mushroom

This was something nice to try....it was good but I don't think I will try it again nor say its a MUST try item.

King Crab Leg Amazu Ponzu   35 

This was AMAZINGLY great!!! It is a must try if going here!

Big eye & Bluefin toro w/scallions

Of course now we have the high quality sushi. It was really good! Quality again, lots of meet versus the rice which is always a PLUS in my opinion.  

Black Cod Saikyo Miso   30 

Very similar to the Miso butterfish which is my FAV! This was really good and I tried to get a good pics below to show how moist and flavorful it was. Highly recommended!

Spicy tuna w/big eye tuna

This was more for my hub! By this point I think I was up to *here* with fish lol I was ready for dessert

Every time I go to a new restaurant I ALWAYS ask the waiter for their opinion for the BEST/Signature dishes and then go w/what my taste buds want lol

I wanted chocolate and sine this item was their signature dish I said why not!

Bento Box   13

Flourless chocolate cake, goma tuile

and green tea ice cream

check that out! Although it has nothing on my Roy it was pretty good 

Grilled Goat Cheese Pound Cake   13

Goat cheese pound cake with black pepper ice cream,

lemon curd, raw Kiawe honey, macadamia nut liqueur foam,

seared strawberries & carmelized macadamia nuts

This was one of their popular dishes and I can totally understand why :) YUMM!

I could understand why Nobu is in the top 3 for BEST sushi/japanese restaurant on the island. If you like QUALITY sushi this is the place for you. It's Quality over Quantity here.
