mangia: another day, another Nobu???

Walking into Nobu's sister in midtown: Nobu 57, you are in the midst of a Trendy bar scene.

Walk up the stairs and you are greeted by the host. The space is expansive, the booths were cozy, and the decor was what you didn't expect if you look back to it's Tribeca Nobu.

We tried all the usual Nobu signature dishes, the Sashimi Salad, the Miso Cod, the rock shrimp, a house specialty for Nobu 57-the Tempura Crab Legs, a handroll... & our usual dessert: mochi

The food is truly Nobu, the space, I miss the coziness of the original landmark. Still, if you could swing by to taste this Midtown 2 story establishment, you might never want to head south...

Verdict: It's Nobu, try getting reservations, because between the 2, there's always a waiting list. It's good to know we can get our Nobu fix here too!
