    Nobu Downtown made our one-year anniversary truly unforgettable! From the moment we walked in, we felt like VIPs. To our delight, we were seated at the same cozy corner table where we celebrated our first date exactly one year ago—such a thoughtful touch! The food was nothing short of spectacular. We kicked things off with the yellowtail sashimi, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The crispy rice with tuna was a delightful surprise—crispy on the outside, perfectly tender on the inside. The lobster tempura was a showstopper, and the tuna tacos were bursting with flavor. The beef tenderloin in anticucho sauce was cooked to perfection and melted in our mouths. To top it all off, we indulged in the bento box for dessert, which was a heavenly ending to our meal. Throughout the evening, we sipped on lychee martinis, which perfectly complemented our dishes. The ambiance, service, and every bite were absolutely perfect. Thank you, Nobu Downtown, for making our anniversary so special! We can't wait to return!
