Whether you're craving miso black cod or rock shrimp tempura, this stylish spot delivers bold flavors in a chic, cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just steps from major Midtown venues, Nobu Fifty Seven is a favorite for its quick yet polished service and lively pre-show energy. With its spacious layout and vibrant crowd, it's ideal for kicking off your night with elevated bites and cocktails. Despite its popularity, the restaurant maintains an energetic but not overly loud vibe—perfect when you want to chat before the music starts.

The sushi is consistently praised for its freshness, and the service is described as attentive and professional.
