Sushi Noz New York - Buy Reservations

Everything from service to quality of food was A1. We were also lucky to have a great group of people that dined in which made the experience extra special. We all shared laughs with the chef and several drinks which made it more memorable. Price point definitely isn't cheap but great times. I'd definitely return. Our chef Shigei Sugano aka Michael Jackson is str8 . Request for him and you won't disappoint.

Really had wanted to come here for the longest time (9 years since I first moved to NYC!) but at $500 / person felt that presentation / preparation and the chef's "hospitality" and passion(?) for guests was really missing. Food was delicious and I left very full but unfortunately overall left feeling like we were just another transaction for the spreadsheet. The chef had confused one guest's shrimp allergy for another, "overstuffed" a Kimbap-style piece at end of the meal to the extent it was falling apart but still blasély served it and mixed up which of us was celebrating a belated birthday; none of this really matters of course as at the end of the day you are at a restaurant to eat, but I think a $500 dining experience should leave you feeling overjoyed to have witnessed the artisan's commitment to detail - just as spending the money on Hamilton tickets, or staying at a Ryokan on the foothills of Fuji would.At the price point we thought a lot about our experience at Masa - it was just significantly more warm and impeccable - starting with the chef's attention to detail and hospitality!A few addt'l notes -- 4-5 non-sushi seafood dishes to start: steamed abalone with asparagus (probably my favorite dish...), bonito sashimi, vegetables, fried eel - 11 sushi pieces - chef asks you on using more vs less rice for each piece - New warm rice painted with soy sauce cycles through every few minutes that chef uses to prepare the pieces; I enjoyed the pieces and rice warmth but note the rice does feel very loose- beautiful and unique plates/bowls and room setting

I'm pretty sad I'm writing this review but feel it's necessary given how downhill it's gone.First, they raised the price of the ash room by 2x, but the quality or anything hasn't changed at all. If anything I feel more hungry although they claim it has more courses then before. Previously I was happy and felt I was getting the value I was paying for, now I can't help but feel I got scammed.The fish, for whatever reason, was cut razor thin this time. I tasted more of the soy sauce and rice then the flavor of the fish.Service was pretty disappointing as well. I asked for some still water and the lady refused to give it until I finished my sparkling water first. ??? Very puzzling. I also had to ask to order the sake with the sommelier multiple times and only after several courses did a sommelier show up.Just really disappointing experience all around. Probably never coming back here again and I've told my friends who I used to go with here regularly it's way too overpriced, crap service, and basically turning into a masa. So sad because this was my favorite place.

First off, I have tried every Omakase place in NYC and I can confidently say that this is the best, even better than the most expensive Omakase in NYC. The food is absolutely divine and the service impeccable. It may sound trivial but every detail from the server in traditional kimono dress to authentic Japanese furniture and ambiance makes this a truly unique experience. I felt like I was transported to Japan and when I left and left the building I was back in NYC.

I have been trying months to get this reservation and I'm glad we were able to sit at the counter and finally meet Chef Noz. From the dining experience to the quality of all the dishes, I have zero complaints. Oh maybe the alcohol/beverage menu can be improved if I'm picky. Highly rec to go and celebrate your special occasion! One of the best omakase I have in NYC :)

Finally got a reservation to Sushi Noz and it did not disappoint. Truthfully speaking, you've been to one high end omakase, you've pretty much been to them all. They're all going to have premium fish from Japan and you're going to get all the fan favorites. I think this is where Sushi Noz separates themselves. They take the same usual suspects and elevate them with a twist. For instance the grilled nodoguro was amazing. This is one of my favorite fishes but you'll almost never get it as a grilled filet. Then you have the tamago which I almost always pass on but he did an almost kimbap style piece that really worked. And don't get me started on the tomato as a dessert. Yes a tomato is a fruit but when has it ever tasted like one? This amela tomato from Japan was without a doubt the best tomato I've ever had. Not every course was a win, didn't love the cold asparagus dish. But you can't win them all. The service was great, no complaints there. I do wished that the restaurant wasn't so quiet. There was no music, but should've at least had some type of white noise. It was so quiet that it felt awkward talking to my wife. We felt like we had to whisper everything. Overall the meal was expensive but I felt like they justified it. I would come back again.

Sushi Noz used to be my favorite omakase restaurant in the city, and I've visited it more than ten times over the years, but today I was so disappointed with the food and service! First of all, I had booked two seats at Hinoki Counter for $495 per person, but I was placed in the next room called the Ash Room, which I felt was a much different experience than the Hinoki room. In the ash room, I could hear noises from the back kitchen all the time and the environment was not as good as in Hinoki. When I asked the waitress why I was assigned to a completely different room than the one I had booked, she was very impatient and said that both rooms were now serving the same food and that since I had booked a 5:30 seating, I should sit in the ash room. I didn't know until I opened my reservation information that I realized they were now listed in the reservation information, but it didn't show that arrangement when I made the reservation. Like I said before, since I've visited many times, I've both dined at Hinoki Counter and the Ash Room, I knew what to expect when I made a researvation at the Hinoki Counter. Besides that, I was not informed in advance that the chef was not the main chef tonight. I was very disappointed because the level of the chef tonight, and he was not comparable to Chef Noz.The chef tonight did not wear a mask and he only talked to the Japanese guests throughout the entire dining experience, ignoring all of our other guests. He didn't make the entire meal a pleasurable experience either, he just casually sliced the fish and got the prepared food from the back kitchen back and forth for two hours, many of the high end Japanese restaurants I've been to always make their food presentation look like a show, tonight I didn't experience that at all and wanted to get it over with ASAP. Although I explained to the waitress before the meal were started that my friend and I would like the chef to help us change one of the AJI dishes to a different fish, the chef still made it for us tonight. And I also saw the chef switched something else for the Japanese guest sitting next to us while we were all having AJI. Apparently, the waitress and chef didn't care about us non-Japanese speaking guests.When it comes to the food, each piece of sushi was bigger and more irregularly shaped than the ones I've had at Sushi Noz before. The rice was too stiff and fell apart when I picked it up, and the fish slices were very poorly cut. Some of the sushi could not be eaten in one bite but required several bites. Even with my two favorite sushi items that Sushi Noz always serves--the white squid and the scallop, I was very disappointed with the chef's cutting tonight. There is also the fact that when sea urchins are offered, all the chefs are usually warned that they can easily fall off and they will carefully place them in your hands. The chef tonight did not wrap the sea urchin sushi with seaweed, and even when he placed it on the counter and the whole sushi had fallen off, he didn't care and didn't say anything.As a returning customer, I don't know how I can describe my disappointment. My impression of Suzhi Noz has always been that of an exquisite, high-end restaurant that distinctly represents the delicacy of Japanese food. I was very upset with everything from the service to the food, and I don't know if it's because they're trying to make more money now that they've opened another restaurant and hired a lot of new chefs, not to mention the fact that it's not always possible to get a reservation for Hinoki Counter a month in advance. Overall, I won't be visiting Suzhi Noz again because they can't guarantee the consistent quality of their food now.

This is my first time experiencing omakse and I will say it was definitely worth it. I've been holding off on this review because I didn't know how I was going to put into words this experience into a review. This was absolutely amazing. Just simply a must if you are able to get a reservation.

What stands out are the unique netas and Japanese ingredients. Some of the netas are common when you dine at omakase places in Japan, but much more difficult to find in NY. Hikarimono pieces, for example, are more on the rare end in NYC. Rarity doesn't mean better, nonetheless. The place offers greater variety but the overall experience is above average but not mindblowing. Understandable since hikarimono pieces are more difficult to execute properly and often distinguish great Japanese omakases from average ones.If you are getting tired of the typical tuna hirame buri etc. netas from most NYC omakases, try this place for what is, ironically, more traditional Japanese but unique NYC omakase experience.

Everything about the meal as a whole from start to finish deserves 5 stars. I have had the pleasure of dining at a handful of New York City's finest omakase restaurants and Sushi Noz still remains first on my list.I look forward to coming back over and over again and would recommend 10/10 times

Yelp doesn't have a unique entry for 17 even though it's been open for several months. First off Noz 17 is very different than Sushi Noz. Tonight there was more emphasis on vegetables and less on blue fin. Some imaginative and delicious sushi dishes. I particularly liked a dish made with sardines and another with cuttlefish. Reccomended
