Absolutely exquisite in every detail, as one would expect from a master sushi chef. Delectable fish, innovative and classic presentation, perfect wine pairings, attentive service, and a friendly presence in charge of it all.

About the restaurant

Craftsmanship at its finest is displayed at Sushi Noz, where guests experience our seasonal omakase menu curated nightly by Chef Nozomu Abe. Known as "Noz" to his friends, Abe-san is part of a movement from Japan advancing Edomae-style sushi, incorporating aging and preparation techniques that date back to Japan's Edo period. Upon entering the restaurant, guests are transported by the Sukiya-style wooden interior, which was assembled using more than a dozen types of cedar. The centerpiece of our first dining room is our 8-seat, 200-year-old hinoki wood sushi bar and traditional ice chest, where Chef Noz refrigerates the evening's neta selections. Our second dining room features a sushi bar made from tamo ash wood, which accommodates an additional 6 guests. We welcome our guests in true Japanese hospitality, offering two nightly seatings at each counter.

Sushi Noz is definitely worth it for the experience. The entire evening is focused on you and the chef and exploring different foods from Japan. While sushi is the main course, the chef did a great job with introducing some lesser known dishes for appetizers before moving onto the sushi course. The service is impeccable. The staff move at such rapid speeds but you would never noticed because they know the perfect intermission between the plates to attend to you. The environment makes you forget you're even in new york and you've suddenly been teleported to Japan. This is an authentic omakase experience that I've never encountered before.

It was truly an unforgettable experience. My daughter had a long list of dietaries which the team kindly accommodated. In retrospect maybe not the best choice for a picky teenager. The attention to detail right from the get go was on point. There was an easy vibe; cool tunes on the playlist but the cooking was quite the opposite. Quality of ingredients, balance and execution was first class. The ethos of the restaurant was demonstrated in an unpretentious manner. Some of the dishes, namely the sweet prawn and mussel nigiri literally blew me away. There’s wasn’t a course which didn’t hit the spot. We had a meal which will live long in our memories.

It was a perfect dinner. Had a belated birthday party with my best friend and Omakase was great as always. I loved the omakase menu during the winter time but the new seasonal menu was even better. The mood and atmosphere there is also great, super cozy yet jazzy vibe, (not many seats but I like it that way) which is rare for a sushi place, and the chef was super cool too. Will definitely come back!

About the restaurant

Tucked into the heart of downtown Manhattan, the counter at Noz 17, A Michelin-starred experience with only seven seats, transports guests into an ethereal space that is as much a performance as it is a meal. Chef-driven and prepared in the Edomae style, Chef Matsu's omakase menu brings guests on a journey through the far reaches of the traditional sushi palate.

Chef Matsu previously helmed the Ash Room Counter at Sushi Noz, our sister restaurant on the Upper East Side. Drawing on some of the same techniques seen uptown, Matsu-san elegantly prepares each bite of this free-flowing menu that organically intertwines nigiri and otsumami.
