Nobu Fifty Seven

The food here is exceptional. Came with my girlfriend to celebrate our Valentine’s Day and we were left stunned by how good the food was. The rice balls were a great starter followed by the creamy shrimp. The wagyu tacos literally melt in your mouth and the steak I had was so savory. Amazing atmosphere and service, perfect for a date night or special occasion. Highly recommend, it’s worth it.

Perfect in every way. Able to make a reservation on short notice, was a little late no problem, server was attentive, knowledgeable and nice. everything we had was delicious, we only ordered small plates as we were not that hungry. The spinach salad 💕💕💕 oh and the tuna on crispy rice was fun and very good. had such a good time forgot to take many photos - already planning my next visit. This Nobu on 57th is every bit as good as downtown or better and the bar/small bites area in a big plus. we spent 2H-45M and never felt rushed. cocktails were interesting as well 🍸💕

So, I'm usually very skeptical that places like this will live up to their reputation - especially when you're definitely paying premium prices and I'm almost disappointed to say that Nobu absolutely blew me away, and the bill actually fit the quality and preparation of everything we were served omakase.

Meticulously prepped, every bite, you could tell was designed with purpose. Balanced flavors, wonderful presentation, and wide variety of fresh and quality ingredients. From every appetizer through to the dessert, I was taken aback by how delicious everything tasted and was curated.

Definitely one of the top 3 meals I've ever had. Amazing.

The service is amazing. The staff is courteous, professional and responsive to needs as they arise.

The Sushi was both fresh and delicious...as expected. (Recommend the Tuna)

The Sake selection is varied but not overwhelming. The servers are knowledgeable and able to make great recommendations.

Highly recommend the experience of ordering a Masu of your chosen Sake.

One of the nicest touches was the staff personalizing my dessert without prompting. Knowing from the time of the reservation that a birthday was involved, they required no additional input for a really welcome surprise.

I Highly recommend the experience that is Nobu.

I’ve been to Nobu Downtown and was blown away by the experience so decided to try the midtown location for girls’ night out. Amazing experience again! Highly recommend the tasting menu with wine pairing. The presentation is as incredible as the food is tasty!! Not cheap by any means so if you aren’t prepared to pay handsomely for the adventure you need to go elsewhere but from my perspective the meal is worth the memories I’ve made for a lifetime!! Highly recommend it!! The pics are in order of how the dishes were presented.

I recently tried the tasting menu, and it was fantastic. The wait staff was incredibly friendly and explained each dish as it came out, which was a nice touch. They worked together smoothly, like a well-practiced team.

But what really stood out was the dessert. It was just as amazing as I remembered from the downtown location. It's easily one of my favorite desserts ever.

In a nutshell, NOBU's tasting menu and service were top-notch, and that dessert is a must-try. Highly recommend it!

Incredible food. Truly a masterpiece. Fresh and flavorful. The decor is dim and modern. The service was almost impeccable, unfortunately we did need to ask several times for drink refills but that it was so busy I didn’t mind.
A special restaurant that certainly lives up to its reputation!

I went there at lunch time, and the second-floor dining area with a row of Japanese chefs cooking in a row is very spectacular and upscale. It is reputed to be the best Japanese restaurant in New York City.

I enjoyed a $65 lunch box. It is much larger than it looks.

This upscale spot is perfect for special occasions or a night out. The rolls are amazing, and the food is absolutely delicious. Definitely book a reservation as it's always packed. A lot of people opt for drinks at the bustling bar.

First time trying Nobu and it was absolutely amazing. I tried the classic bento box to get a good sampling of different menu items - every single thing was delicious and it was a lot of food. Finished off with the dessert bento box as well at the server's recommendation and as a matcha lover, matcha gelato is now my new obsession. Great tea selection as well for any other tea enthusiasts out there!

Did the special bento box and was overwhelmed (in a good way) with the amount of food I got for $80~ at a midtown upscale sushi place. Service was great, I sat at the sushi bar upstairs and had a great conversation with one of the sushi chefs. The food was delicious. Love the ambiance. Service was attentive and fun. I’ll definitely be going back

A delightful experience. We came here to celebrate our milestone anniversary and we are very glad we chose this gem. Service is top notch and the food is as delightful as their top notch reputation.

Wow!! This was our first time dining at Nobu and everything was fantastic! This exceeded our expectations, I’m not sure how anyone could have a bad experience.
Our server was so so helpful, walked us through the menu, answered any questions we had and made a recommendation of I believe 6 dishes, all of which we ordered! We also got the miso soup, not directly recommended, but the best miso soup I’ve ever had. We were pleased and impressed with everything, what a pleasant experience! He said we pretty much got the Omakase of our own making, instead of the predetermined menu from the chef. Although I’m sure that is also delicious.
The crispy rice with spicy tuna was heavenly & our favorite!! Seriously, we can’t stop thinking about it! The black cod with miso was insane and neither of us really care for hot fish dishes, but I would order this again. They brought us a dessert to celebrate our anniversary and the donuts with the caramel sauce they bring in a separate container was divine.

Nobu by far has the best spicy margarita I have ever had in my entire life! I have waited a year to have this drink and even day dream
about it. Nobu is a must on my list when I am in New York City, it is a tradition now. I ate dinner here a year ago but just stopped in for drinks on this trip. The Mia Margarita is full of flavor and has the right amount of kick to be enjoyable. I highly recommend this drink!

At first we thought wow this restaurant is too big we may not have the attention we need but our waitress Nara was exceptional. She was so patient, nice, and helpful. Made my wife's birthday great. Food was great and place is really nice!

Food is really great, everything was really really good, the Brussel sprouts, the mushroom salad, vegetarian tacos. I thought that everything was superb until I tried the Wagyu Tacos, and that outshined everything else. They were espectacular, among the best meals I ever had.

Thank you again Chef Matt Hoyle and Chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa. Once again you’ve surpassed all expectations. Truly one of the best dinning experiences I’ve ever had. Very much appreciate the special menu. As you can see from attached photos this is one of the very best on the world.

This place is truly amazing. The service, the food, the food, the service, the food. Did I say the food ? The Wagyu Taco… pricey but if you’re a foody you don’t look at price. The oysters are very tasty and fresh. Bartender John is a true mixologist.

High end service and sushi....will not disappoint. Melt in your mouth flavors, very trendy location with dim lightening perfect for group events, dates or other business adventures. Fast, informative waiters to help you craft a meal that is going to blow your palate. Highly recommend eating early or having a reservation as it would be difficult to access otherwise. The yellowtail cold plate with jalapeño was delicious.... We ended up ordering two the table loved it so much

Amazing sushi! Super fresh sushi that blew my mind. We did the lunch prixe fixe menu and it was so delicious and very filling! The only dish I wasn’t crazy about was the sushi taco. I thought the taco shell could use more flavoring so it was a bit bland for me. Overall it is very delicious and I would come back!
