“But it really is the apex of delivery sushi in this town: the fish, the rice, the presentation, the homemade soy sauce all combine to offer an aesthetic and overall sensorial experience that should not be accessible via phone in an hour or less.”

“Both of them were tasty, and the service very friendly and professional. While neither of the rolls were so brilliant so as to make me think that I have to go and make reservations at Sushi Noz right away, the fact that they were mass-producing this quality of roll definitely speaks well of them.”

“So this was as good as nigiri I’ve had at Sushi Gari, Sushi Seki, really anywhere. It’s expensive. You’re paying a a premium, here but I’m quality over quantity any day of the week.”
H3
“However the shari itself has a pleasant mild acidity with a firm texture, and some of the neta preparations (sumi-ika, awabi, amaebi) stood up to 3-star sushi restaurants in Japan, so I didn’t feel cheated or deceived.”
H3
“Sushi noz, hands down not worth it. Awkward ambiance, little to no chef interaction, mediocre courses and the bathroom was audible from the dining room (and broken).”
H3
“Noz when the menu was like 250 is a meal I’ll think about for the rest of my life. Every part.”
H3
“the full Sushi Noz omakase will have around twice as many courses, including far more otsumami, multiple desserts, and nigiri that are a much wider variety of higher-quality fish all flown in from Japan.”
H3
“It was specific to noz for me. The courses weren't great, the toilet seat was broken, and the chef (we didn't get noz himself) didn't seem like he wanted to be there at all.”
H3
“Or one fairly thin hand roll from Sushi Noz x Malka for $15 (salmon pate, or eggplant - both same price).”
H2
“So be careful charging the same price for an understudy, good as they may be (looking at you, Sushi Noz and Masa).”
H2
“The Sushi Noz box is $3 and blows this out of the water.”
H2
“the experience was very disappointing. None of the starting otsumami were particularly great, and the rock oyster was straight up unenjoyable.”
H2
“Food, service, room, atmosphere are resplendent.”
H2
“Both experiences were 100% worth it and incredible. The food is mind blowing.”
H2
“It is one of the best sushi spots in NYC.”
H2
“Noz is truly spectacular. I’ve tried nearly every omakase in NYC and had it in Japan as well. What he’s doing is better than anyone in New York”
H2
“Sushi Noz is also excellent, on par with places I've tried in Japan that are Tabelog silver (top \~100). It is more of a serene atmosphere, service is great.”
H2
“ugh i’m so sorry you wasted money on noz. it’s pretty well known at this point he only puts in effort into the meal if you’re a regular or an influencer.”
H2
“For Japanese kaiseki I would recommend Sushi Noz—he has only eight seats at two seatings and serves everyone himself—a very memorable experience.”
H2
“it’s a better experience to be served directly from Noz’s hands and watch him work at that beautiful antique counter. For the high price I would insist on the best experience.”
H2
“Noz was at least good albeit a bit overpriced in my opinion.”
H2
“IMO, and I've been to Noz, Yoshino, Sho and other $400+ places, they are only slightly better than something like Nakazawa at $160-$200.”
H2
“Yoshino is technically more sophisticated and better than Sushi Noz”
H2
“Noz and Noda are great too but Shota is half the price and wonderful.”
H2
“Sushi Noz delivers superlative chirashi boxes.”
H2
“No. Noz is superior and still expensive but not masa expensive.”
H2
“I would rec sushi noz market omakase!”
H2
“I think Noz's sushi are disappointing relative to expectations but his otsumami are outstanding and the ambiance is serene.”
H2
“But it is absolutely not 2 times as good as Shion, Yoshino, Noz, etc which many times match or sometimes surpass it, and those are already eye wateringly expensive”
H2
“It didn’t taste horrible. Was paired with a jelly to even out the fishy, creamy taste”
H2
“It’s worth it.”
H2
“Sushi Noz: A total experience. But priced accordingly”
H2
“You’re unlikely to get a consensus between Yoshino, Noz and Shion 69 - they’re all similar price and similar caliber. Imo, Yoshino > Noz > Shion 69 but not by much.”
H2
“I absolutely adored it. The food was just phenomenal, the room was gorgeous, and most unexpectedly (and by no means guaranteed to be repeated on my next visit): the vibe was extremely friendly and convivial.”
H2
“Definitely not better than Noz”
H2
“Charcoal-grilled rockfish (nodoguro) over uni risotto at Sushi Noz. Had me in tears the first time I tried it”
H2
“Sushi Noz has always been worth it in my experience.”
H2
“Can forget about Noz, it’s expensive for their boring execution, limited fish, shitty chef attitude n overall mediocrity.”
H2
“If you want truly the best sushi than NOZ and others will be better”
H2
“Sushi Noz is the best in the $$$$ price range, imo”
H2
“I absolutely love Noz but the price has nearly doubled in the last 5 years, from $300 to $550. If money were not a concern I’d choose that experience, at the Hinoki counter with Chef Noz preparing the food”
H2
“I didn't think Noz deserves 2 stars, if anything I think yoshino deserves it. They had good otsumami but I felt the neta was so so”
H2
“Noz is slightly more expensive and that was a wow experience”
H2
“omakase: noz or nakazawa”
H2
“Noz was the first (though not the last) restaurant of that cost where I didn’t have price regret”
H2
“Sushi noz is my favorite if you're into omakase”
H2
“Not at all. I’m pretty close to this place, so it doesn’t take long to get it delivered. Amazing packaging as well. They do it as good or better than anyone else.”
H2
“the sushi and rice were exceptional.”
H2
“Even Icca I prefer than Noz because they have way better sake”
H2
“Can it really be more than twice as good as sitting at the counter at Noz for "only" $550?”
