Nobu Matsuhisa means dining at its finest. His restaurants stretch across five continents, with over 40 locations across the globe. His food is enjoyed by millions of diners hungry for his innovative food and sleek atmosphere. His name is the springboard for this generation’s master chefs, who have gone on to open their own acclaimed eateries after their start under Nobu’s guidance. Yet every great movement has to start somewhere. For Nobu, it all began in Beverly Hills.

In 1987, the ambitious sushi chef opened his first restaurant in sunny Beverly Hills, bringing his inspired blend of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine to the public. When Matsuhisa’s doors first opened, a silhouette of Nobu was painted behind the sushi bar. The smoky grey profile of a 38 year old Nobu is still there more than 30 years later, and has become the logo to his ever expanding legacy.

Although his flagship still retains the low key décor from day one, it is distinguished by its skilled staff and an enormous menu packed with peerless dishes. Matsuhisa not only represents dining at its finest, it is the foundation of a culinary empire that is still growing today.

Master Chef Helene An of Crustacean Beverly Hills, recognized as the mother of fusion cuisine and by the Smithsonian Museum with a Pioneer Award in Culinary Arts as the first to introduce Vietnamese cuisine to mainstream America, first learned the culinary arts from the family kitchen as a child in Vietnam. Although she left Vietnam in 1970s to San Francisco where she operated a family restaurant serving a fusion of Vietnamese, Chinese and French cooking, which no one understood at the time, she later found success with Crustacean San Francisco, where crowds flocked in, one by one. She essentially created her own cuisine – modern Asian and European fusion – to bridge the gap between the flavors of her home in Vietnam with something Americans would be familiar with. Thus, the idea would extend to her well-known Crustacean Beverly Hills, which has been wowing critics and crowds for more than two decades.
