HYakumi is now closed. Seems odd they didn't close it the minute Nobu opened. No sense for two Japanese restaurants.
Better get a reservation if u want to eat at Nobu. I ate there tonight, 5 pm when it opened on a Thursday. I was by myself and wanted a table, but even though I am 7 stars and the restaurant was pretty much empty, they claimed all the tables were booked and I must eat at the sushi bar or in the lounge. Well I guess they don't realize a single person can eat in 1 hr, because at 6 when I left, over half the restaurant was still empty, I counted at least 30 empty tables. I asked and they said they must hold tables for reservations and they expect it to take 2 hrs to eat.... So apparently all those tables were to be filled by 6:30???? Don't know, but it was kind of annoying.
The sushi at NOBU was excellent, first rate. Only problem was it was really overpriced. Normally you can get two pieces of salmon for $7-8. (nigeri, with the rice) But here it is $7 for one piece. I had the miso soup with lobster for $20 too. Don't bother, it was ordinary miso with a small piece of lobster tossed in. Sushi rolls looked small from what I could see. Also $4 for my small soda, or maybe it was $2 and $2 for a refill? Thankfully they do accept reward points, cause $137 for one person's meal seemed a TAD high. (no booze). But the sushi was super fresh and delicious. But I think I would have paid about half as much at Hyakumi.....
