About

RestaurantBar
As the first uptown New York location for legendary chef Nobu Matsuhisa, we opened with much anticipation in the summer of 2005.Nobu's co-owners are his longtime partners: renowned restaurateur Drew Nieporent, Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro, and Hollywood film producer Meir Teper. The restaurant showcases Nobu's signature new style Japanese cuisine with classic dishes such as Tiradito Nobu Style and Black Cod Miso, and the hibachi table. The restaurant received three stars from the New York Times.

    The vibe here is lively — music up, tables buzzing, staff super attentive and fun. Food quality is high and very consistent. Nobu is probably one of the first restaurants I’d ever heard of when it comes to “Japanese fusion,” and it still leans into that signature style — bold flavors, punchy sauces, lots of citrus + ponzu. The steak was a standout too — juicy, perfectly cooked.

    I had the brunch price fixe and added 2 Oz of wagyu steak and my goodness, it was all so delicious! Service was great, everyone was professional and nice, and the atmosphere was fantastic! It is pricey, but it was well worth it in my opinion 🙌

    We frequent Nobu but usually for the hot food. We’re not really sushi eaters . We love their Chilean Sea Bass dish. We walked in late without a reservation last night and they were kind enough to seat us but at the sushi bar. Still had access to the full menu. We met one of the sushi chefs, KoKo and feel that he deserved a mention. He was very knowledgeable , friendly and entertaining and he recommended and prepared some great pieces of sashimi. We will definitely be back , on a night that KoKo is on shift. Our server and all the staff was great as well. Quite enjoyable unplanned dining experience . Thank you

    Finally had the chance to try Nobu Fifty Seven and it lived up to the hype. We ordered the Yellowtail Jalapeño, Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna, House Special Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, and Spicy Tuna Roll. Every dish was fresh and full of flavor. I had been wanting to try the Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna for ages, and it absolutely did not disappoint! We paired our dinner with two espresso martinis since we had a long night ahead. They were smooth and exactly what we wanted. My only minor complaint was the table we were seated at had an overhead light tilted directly toward my face. It was much brighter than the rest of the room and a little distracting, especially since most of the restaurant had an intimate vibe. Overall, Nobu Fifty Seven was a great experience. The food and drinks were excellent and I would definitely come back to try more.
