Actually, Nobu Matsuhisa's original restaurant, Matsuhisa, at 129 N. La Cienega Blvd, is within the city limits of Beverly Hills.
The city limit in that area west of Roberson is Burton Way on the north. East of Robertson, the border drops down to Clinton way and continues eastbound along Clinton, past La Cienega Blvd. to San Vicente Blvd. Southeast along San Vicente past Wilshire Blvd., and then southwest along Schumacher Dr. It winds around La Cienega Park and the Tennis Center along Olympic Blvd. one block to to Le Doux Rd., north to Gregory Way, west to Robertson and south, past Olympic Blvd., to Whitworth Drive. The entire stretch of La Cienega between Clinton Way and Olympic Blvd. is in Beverly Hills. The SLS Hotel, immediately north of Clinton, is within the Los Angeles city limits.
