Yeah, I find this resolution to be unsatisfying, but I can see what Kariya is going for here.
This story is meant to be a tragic one. Kisaki had better technical skill, but the surprise pasta dish proved to him skill wasn't everything, shattering his belief that he knew what was right. Nobu wasn't happy with the outcome either, but he can't undo what he's done. He gets his 'happy ending', but at heavy cost to his personal moral fiber.
That last part at least is my interpretation to make the ending more palatable. The chapter itself doesn't really suggest that Nobu met any comeuppance.
