Reviews Nobu Fifty Seven

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 🍸💕

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!

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

I went here with a bunch of colleagues on a client lunch. I knew it was a really well known spot and super high end. The food was yes delicious but I just don’t know if I can ever justify spending over a $100 per person for lunch lol I’m definitely not a New Yorker I guess.. also I’m more of a meat person over fish anyway so I may be a bit biased. But yes the sushi & sashimi was super fresh and delicious. I got the lunch Classic Bento Box it came with 2 different boxes. Very creative visually and delicious but the salad with ahi tuna came with a dressing a bit too salty for my taste. Their macha ice cream is amazing. Overall an amazing experience but not sure if I’d go back unless it was on the company expense again :)

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.

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!

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!

Nobu Fifty Seven is a part of a "chain" of restaurants - but is not what you'd expect in a typical franchise. My first visit to this restaurant in Manhattan was well over a decade ago when they had first opened. It had been a celebrity hotspot and was in fact co-owned by Robert De Niro. De Niro had convinced Chef Nobu Matsuhisa to expand his restaurants many years ago. A long time has passed since my last visit and I'm glad to see the quality and excitement surrounding this restaurant hasn't diminished. The food was all excellent quality, fresh, prepared as ordered and well presented. Our server was great and the atmosphere here is wonderful.

I hadn't been to a Nobu in years and my preconceived notion these days is that it has become a chain and sort of lost its luster of being the "it" place when it comes to sushi. I mean a quick google search informed me that Nobu now has over 50 locations worldwide... 50!?!?!?! But that's okay. Nothing lasts forever. All good runs must end at some point... I mean even Kobe had to announce his retirement a month into his final season because he needed to take the heat off of him playing so bad lol. Father time truly is undefeated. Needless to say, I walked in here with low expectations and fe– Wait. Do you hear that...? Oh my god...is that the Undertakers music!?!?! NOBU MADE ME EAT EVERY LAST WORD OF DOUBT, MAKING ME RETHINK IF FATHER TIME STILL HAS THAT 0 NEXT TO HIS RECORD. The quality of ingredients in here was a great reminder that there are levels to this game, and Nobu is on the top level. I won't go into great detail on any one dish because everything was so good, but the must haves are the Toro Tartare with Caviar, Yellowtail Jalapeño, Crispy Rice w Spicy Tuna, and the Black Cod. Okay you know what, I need to go into great detail about the yellowtail jalapeño. It was the best cut of fish I have had outside of Japan, likely because of the sauce. It took every bone in my body to not pick up the plate and drink the remaining sauce from the plate like it was the milk left over in my bowl of fruit loops. I need to shout out my boy Darryl who was SO consistent in refilling my water right as it got to a dangerously low level and for bussing the tables between every course. His timing and precision were insane. Precision beats power and timing beats speed. The attention to detail here is nuts. I will close with a quote from the great Roy Jones Jr: Y'ALL MUST HAVE FORGOT! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__
