The Scene – Chef Nobu Matsuhisa is often seen in his flagship restaurant, welcoming both celebs and common folk in his surfer-print chef pants. The noisy dining room is surprisingly casual, with cramped seating, bright lighting and framed posters decking the walls. – – The Food – With more than 100 dishes, the menu is so unwieldy that it's best to order the dazzling omakase tasting menu, which begins with Matsuhisa's signature cold dishes, such as lobster seviche and jumbo clam with yuzu. "New style" sashimi is the best example of the chef's innovative style: Thin…

total disappointment
by dineoutluver
My friend and I went for celebrating our birthdays as our bds are very close to each other. As we both know that Nobu is a good restaurant, we wanted to try Matsuhisa for this event. However by the time we left, we might have expected too much... Food is just so "okay" here, nothing special. We ordered some sushi and the day's specials. Nothing to remark. The bill we recieved was over $260 as we expected. We would not felt expensive if we were satisfied with the food. Won't go back there for sure. I recommend Gonpachi across the street who serves much better food in great decor, with much less bill.
- Cons: way overpriced!

Overpriced and underwhelmed
by foodbabe818
I don't get why this is a well-respected restaurant. I hated it. The tables are so close together that you bump into other people or they bump into you regularly. The service was awful ... my waiter not only got my order wrong (bringing me food I didn't order, then charging me for it), but he never brought the rice I ordered either. And he didn't stop by the table except to bring the check. The food was ok, but definitely not worth the price. There are many other much better sushi restaurants in town.
- Pros: Food's ok
- Cons: Service, price, ambience

Service needs work!
by layanam
For the money you're spending here, it would help for the service to improve. The waiters don't know how to "wait"...you have to crane your neck to try to track them down to ask for something. They don't seem to care about their customers. Food was good, but definitely think it's overpriced. and incredibly small portions. You go for the scene, but if you want a good sushi place, there are plenty of better restaurants out there.
- Cons: RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE! LOUD & OBNOXIOUS PEOPLE!
