Cassandra: Get the vegetable plate...fresh from the market asparagus, sauteed mushrooms, roasted cauliflower... mm, so so good. Cute date spot, but be prepared for a long wait.
Sari Nicole: Best sweet potato fries I've ever had. Lemon asparagus with parmesan is delicious. Brussel sprouts everyone raves about arent that good- really goopy & too much sauce. Grilled tuna steak for the win
Ms Helene: Meal of market sides 4 for $15-soy glazed tofu & broccoli, beets with goats cheese and walnuts were best. Sweet potato mash & grilled asparagus with Parmesan only ok.

Margot G: The tiramisu is fantastic. It is not too sweet and has an amazing consistency. It's also big enough to share!

Walter Leon: The omakase was awesome and the Gyozas also great. Excellent service. The green tea ice is delicious.
Elena V.: Sit at the bar and ask for the 'super omakase' (not on the menu). Chef Nobu is wonderful so sit strategically to watch him prepare and discuss the sushi!
Scott Rubin: Best sushi I ever had! The omokase sushi is worth the extra money. It is out of this world. I've been eating sushi since I was a kid and this place blows away any sushi I have ever eaten. Love it!

Giulia Prati: Grilled banana with green tea ice cream is delicious. Very fresh sushi
Sarah Weitlauf: The $20 special that everyone is talking about is called twilight dinner. And it's the jam. Choose sushi or sashimi and then the parade of food begins!
Michael Goitein: Get the Afternoon Plate. Amazing food, very reasonably priced. I would say it's the best "teishoku" (定食) I've had outside of Japan.
