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.

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.
Black Miso Cod, Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna, and Yellowtail Jalapeño roll (not pictured) were all amazing and I’m not a fish person. Rock shrimp is okay.
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
We started with drinks and ordered the Coconut Matcha and the Lychee Martini. The Coconut Matcha was smooth and lightly sweet, and I really enjoyed it. The Lychee Martini had a refreshing floral flavor but was a little strong for me, so I didn’t enjoy it quite as much.
For appetizers, the standout for me was the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño. It had a bright, slightly sour citrus note that paired perfectly with the subtle heat from the jalapeño. It was easily my favorite dish of the night. We also tried the crispy rice with spicy tuna. The tuna itself was creamy and flavorful, but the rice was a bit too crispy for my taste and left the top of my mouth a little tender. The wagyu gyozas were good but underwhelming. They tasted similar to dumplings you can find anywhere and didn’t have the special richness I expected from wagyu.
The rock shrimp in creamy spicy sauce, however, were excellent. The shrimp were tender and coated in a sauce that had a great balance of creaminess and heat. The portion size was surprisingly generous compared to several of the other dishes, which felt on the smaller side.
We also ordered the chef’s recommendation of the night, a plate featuring twelve different pieces of sushi. Most of the pieces were very fresh and well prepared. A few had a slightly fishy taste that wasn’t my favorite, but overall it was an enjoyable selection and beautifully presented. Lastly I had dessert, it was super yummy! Forgot the name though..
In general, the food at Nobu is very good and the presentation is truly exceptional. My only hesitation is the pricing. Several of the portions feel quite small for the cost, and some dishes didn’t feel distinctive enough to justify the premium price tag. Still, the overall experience was memorable and worth trying at least once, especially if you appreciate refined Japanese cuisine with creative touches. We were a party of two and paid around $500.
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.
