Chef Nobu's Japanese seafood, new-style sashimi, and miso black cod
"There aren’t many sushi restaurants whose wine lists include a table of contents, but that’s the level of fancy you can expect at Matsuhisa in Cherry Creek. The crowd is what you’d also expect at a place with $38-an-ounce wagyu and a $45 toro and caviar roll, but there’s more to this Japanese spot than country clubbers throwing down black cards on wines that cost more than your rent. Plates like the new-style sashimi are super bright thanks to rice vinegar and yuzu pools, and you can never go wrong with the sweet and briny unagi tempura. Just definitely save room for the Nobu-style shaved ice—a cold, puffy cloud filled with sweet condensed milk and drizzled with miso caramel tableside. " - allyson reedy
"As swanky as you’d expect, the Denver outpost of Nobu Matsuhisa’s seminal restaurant serves all the legendary chef’s greatest hits — including uni shooters, rock-shrimp tempura, new-style sashimi, and miso black cod — in a warmly serene space where Champagne and Burgundy by the glass and three-figure bottles of sake are par for the celebratory course." - Ruth Tobias, Gigi Sukin, Eater Staff

"When none other than world-renowned chef Nobu Matushisa brought his brand of luxe Japanese cuisine to Cherry Creek, the hype was huge and the reviews were rave. Both continue to be earned: Against a hip, loungelike backdrop, the splurges keep coming — among them uni shooters, crab-claw or rock-shrimp tempura, and Nobu’s famous new-style sashimi as well as a sushi selection ranging from abalone nigiri to yellowtail-okra rolls." - Gigi Sukin
"This Cherry Creek outpost of the famed sushi restaurant offers starters like edamame ($5), black cod lettuce cup ($6), and the Nobu lobster taco ($7). Tempura, which comes with two pieces, starts at $3, and a bowl of chicken udon is $17. A small carafe of Junmai sake costs $15." - Eater Staff
