    We had the five course tasting menu with the wine pairing. It was fantastic. The consensus of our group was that it was the best meal that we have eaten in long time. Don't miss this place.

    So glad we visited Lala. The "share" menu is great - we had grilled oysters, burrata and tomatoes, bib and blue salad and the most delicious carpaccio with fresh from the oven small baguette breads. Followed by the seafood risotto and a couple of the delicious dessert. The only thing I would add is that we wished they had decaf coffee or espresso and a variety of hot teas. All is all delicious and we will be back again ...

    Great food, service and experience. It is pricey but so good! I’ll keep going to Nobu SD! It was slightly noisy but it does not change my very positive experience! The food was amazing. My son loved it and it was his first time sushi experience. I have set the bar too high! It is a must go to for sushi place with so many other great dishes!
