Guest Experiences
“Went on a Friday night and it was busy but the staff was very attentive . Great vibe . I had the lychee martini and they were great. To eat I had the lobster tacos, shrimp tempura, the rice cake, tiradito and Toro roll. It was so delicious and I want to go again. Dishes are shareable. Very nice for a date night or just a night out with your girls/friends. **went again 10/24** amazing service ! I love how they tell you how to eat the dish and what’s part of each dish. Very clean and efficient service! Got sat at the counter but enjoyed watching the amazing chefs at work. Had the tiradito again and crispy rice. Lobster taco and wagyu taco, rock shrimp and the ribeye were all delicious. My bf loved the old fashion . Had the banana pudding for desert! Amazing”
“Nobu Fifty Seven was absolutely beautiful in every way. We booked our Valentine’s Day reservation two to three weeks in advance, and it was still the last seating of the night at 10:45 PM. Although they were running slightly behind, we were seated about 30 minutes after our reservation. We ordered the Valentine’s Day special bundle, and every course was outstanding. The variety of dishes was incredible, and everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You truly cannot go wrong with any selection here. From the moment we arrived, the staff provided exceptional service, hospitality, and attention to detail. The entire experience felt special and memorable. We will definitely be returning.”
“I reserved Nobu for my wife’s birthday and it exceeded expectations. The yellowtail was incredibly fresh, the sushi was perfectly done, and the wagyu tacos were a standout. Dessert was just as impressive and the perfect way to end the night. The service really made the experience special. Our waitress was amazing, kind, attentive, and made my wife feel celebrated. Great atmosphere, great food, and an overall unforgettable night. We will definitely be back.”
“Been here long time ago before covid... Overheard prices skyrocketed... then... co-worker ordered takeout. Totally impressed with bento. Surf and turf. Mero exquisite. Steak not bad. Sushi excellent as well. Nicely packed as well as utensils. Bit overpriced for appetizer, tuna tartar. Guess no plating and all... bit not worth it.”
“Two story Nobu on 57th, they have a lot of classic Nobu dishes (wagyu dumplings, firecracker shrimp, and the miso cod are examples) - miso cod was great. Sushi was ok, and the yellowtail jalepeno (spicy!) was good to start. Get the hot dishes here!”
