Polished Midtown Nobu delivering signature Japanese-Peruvian fusion, lively energy, and high prices; excellent hits like yellowtail jalapeno and black cod, but service consistency and noise vary.
Nobu Fifty Seven delivers exceptional food quality with signature dishes that consistently impress—yellowtail jalapeno, crispy rice, and miso cod remain reliable highlights. However, inconsistent execution and tight table spacing prevent a higher grade, while service variance at the host stand occasionally undermines the polished Midtown experience. Strong enough for a special occasion, but not among the region's premier dining destinations.
One caveat: Host stand and reservation handling can feel curt; occasional seating delays even with bookings
