How Much Would You Pay for Dinner?

Have you been to Nobu? If so, how would you say they stack up relative to each other?

I just had dinner at Matsuhisa(I think same owner as Nobu?) last night. The food was pretty good, but I'm not sure the value is quite there. The bill for two people was a little more than $200(3 glasses of wine and dessert). The miso cod and yellowtail jalapeno are great, but I tried a couple other dishes that were just ok.

The sashimi is always good and the atmosphere is casual. I like Nobu in Malibu's atmosphere a little better(more laid-back), but the menus are identical. Nobu/Matsuhisa play the "fusion" and presentation card in order to justify high prices, but you can find a lot better quality/value deals around town. If you like quality value sushi, go to Sushi Gen in J-Town in downtown LA. Great sashimi and you can eat for two under $80, with drinks.
