Frommer's Review

You'd never guess that this unpretentious hole in the wall with seating for only 28 people is home to chef Nobuo Fukuda, considered one of the best chefs in the country. The menu lists barely more than a dozen dishes, so it's almost impossible to go wrong here. Not one of these dishes can really be considered sushi, so don't expect items such as California rolls. Instead, consider the seared tuna tataki or warm white-fish carpaccio. For the full treatment from Nobuo, order the multicourse omakase dinner. The restaurant is affiliated with the adjacent Cowboy Ciao and has an overwhelmingly long wine list that includes lots of premium sakes. At press time, this restaurant had plans to move across the street; call for the new address.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
