text: For my th birthday I wanted nothing more from the group of friends that accompanied me on this trip than a nice sit down dinner I chose Nobu based on New Yorks location and Philadelphias Morimoto restaurant but ended up being very underwhelmed The black cod was a standout as is the case in most Japanese restaurants straight from the ocean fresh with a flavorful miso sauce My seafood toban yaki was disappointing though my favorite dish at Morimoto just did not live up to expectation at Nobu The broth was super salty and the quantity of seafood was just sort of lackingnnOverall the restaurant has a very hip and trendy vibe our waiters were friendly and attentive without being overbearing but all in all just a blah experience for a th birthday celebration
