- FFrankNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis was our first visit to NOBU in NYC. I was very pleasantly surprised by the cooked dishes. I regularly eat either ramen noodles or sushi / sashimi in a Japanese restaurant. The cod dish was exceptional! The beef dish was a close second. Dion, our waiter, was great. He walked us thru the menu and we took all of his suggestions. Very patient and caring. Definitely will go back soon to try more hot dishes.More infoNobu Fifty SevenPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Midtown West•4.7
