- PPennyVIPNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI love this restaurant but they do nit serve nonalcoholic beer or cocktails. The only non-alcoholic beverages was sodas. I am surprised, particularly during this Dry January.More infoSushi of Gari - Columbus AvenuePrice: Very Expensive• Sushi• Upper West Side•4.7
- FFrankNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 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
