Nobu, Las Vegas

Jason and I had a great meal at Nobu Next Door in NYC which is supposed to have the same menu as Nobu. So, we wanted to see how different the Nobu in Vegas was going to be.

The waiter told us the food is Peruvian-Japanese fusion. Jason and I thought that combo was pretty interesting. We've never heard it before. In any event, we decided if we really wanted to try this place out, we should go all out and order the most expensive omakase.

Feast your eyes on this!
