Fans of the legendary sushi eatery on La Cienega will be happy to know that owner Nobu Matsuhisa has reversed his earlier plans to shut the place down. Matsuhisa had intended to focus on his new restaurant, tentatively called Nobu Los Angeles, which will be on the site of the soon-to-be-closed L'Orangerie. A Matsuhisa spokeswoman told the LAT that loyal regulars had begged the owners to keep it open. Robert De Niro is Matsuhisa's partner.
