Nobu 57

[Jason Perlow]

The New York Times reports of a new Midtown location to open soon, Nobu 57. The extent of Myriad Restaurant Group's and Nieporent's involvement has not yet been disclosed.

I was wondering when a review would appear.

Well, wonder no longer.

Much about the original Nobu had a frayed, complacent quality. There were epic waits for dishes and sloppy applications of dressings.....Nobu 57 could also benefit from better phone etiquette. I was frequently put on hold while someone searched for the reservation book, the right computer file, Jimmy Hoffa - who knew?

The rock shrimp in that famous, creamy tempura dish had been cooked beautifully, each bite yielding a tiny explosion of flavor and moisture.

Nobu 57 has several new desserts, including a lovely one that mingles a purée of white peaches with cold jasmine tea, peanut crumble and beer ice cream.

Well, in fact it was also reviewed this week in New York. Adam Platt was less impressed with it than Bruni.
