About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
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.

From the OpenTable editors: Acclaimed chef Nozomu Abe leads this serene, two-MICHELIN-starred destination that's arguably one of the best sushi restaurants in town. Sit at one of two intimate wooden counters for an Edomae-style seasonal tasting menu that can stretch to 20 courses and include dishes like grilled sea perch with blue seaweed sauce. Delicate, cedar-lined walls and food presented on centuries-old Japanese ceramics make any meal here a singular, transportative experience.

    Jul 24, 2025 - Jul 25, 2025
    On July 24th and 25th, Chef Endo Kazutoshi, third generation sushi master and owner of London's Michelin-starred Endo at the Rotunda, will join Chef Noz at the Hinoki Counter to serve a collaborative omakase menu in the latest installment of our Japan Series. Both chefs trained rigorously in traditional Edomae sushi in Japan before moving abroad, with Chef Endo opening his namesake omakase counter in London and Chef Noz doing the same in New York. While staying true to the fundamentals of Japanese sushi, they have each developed a unique style that reflects their adopted homes, incorporating local fish and techniques that are not commonly seen in Japan. This dinner will be a rare and exciting collaboration between two chefs who represent the best of traditional Japanese craftsmanship blended with international influence — a true meeting of New York and London. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accommodate any dietary restrictions for this experience. All sales are final and nonrefundable. The menu price does not include gratuity. Kindly note that corkage is not permitted at collaboration dinners.

    This was the best dinner experience I’ve had in New York to date. Chef Nozu is incredibly intentional with his actions and his words. He looks each guests respectfully in the eye and greets them warmly as they sit, setting a wonderful and friendly tone for the evening. This hospitality carries over to his staff as well who work incredibly in sync as they gather drink orders and recommendations for the customers. The food was exceptional, the drinks were incredible, the ambiance and the service were a quintessential omakase experience. If this restaurant doesn’t get 3 stars in next year’s Michelin Guide, I will have lost faith in the grading system. I hope I am lucky enough to dine in again.

    Great dinner with Noz at the Hinoki counter for late spring menu. Noz is extremely talented and I love his style of omakase. Simple flavors that taste amazing. It was my 2nd visit. I brought a "foodie" friend for his 50th and after tasting each of the courses the look on his face was priceless. After he exclaimed "I will never forget this dinner!!" Sushi Noz is a treasured gem in NYC. I am looking forward to seeing how his menu evolves in the future while keeping the authenticity of Japanese ingredients.

    Hands-down the best sushi omakase in NYC. Nothing else comes close to the quality, skill, and creativity shown by Chef Noz and his team. I've dined at Sushi Noz 4 times since 2019 and it's consistently incredible.

    An amazing Omakase experience. Everyone should try this at least once. Chef Taka is amazing and the entire staff was really great and attentive. Such a cool experience to share with a small group of people.
