Beautiful and classic omakase experience. Dishes were creative and paired well with high-end sake and wines. Some nice conversations with the chef and staff, learning more about their craft. Biggest drawback is simply the price and what you get for it — in such a competitive market there are more sensible options and it’s out of reach for many.
Went here to celebrate me and my girlfriend’s two year anniversary. The details in the service, the food, and the pairing, culminated into one of the top omakase experiences I’ve enjoyed to date.
While Chef Noz wasn’t personally there at my visit, the staff was more than capable of meeting the high standards that they’ve set for the entire omakase scene.
The standouts were the oyster and the kinki fish. With a rotating seasonal menu and a display of mastery with this summer’s ingredients, they’ve essentially cracked the code to ensuring repeated visits from this review writer.

One of the best omakase experiences in NYC. Beautifully prepared sushi, attentive service, and an exceptional wine pairing that really elevated the meal. Having been fortunate to enjoy some incredible sushi across Asia, my expectations are probably higher than most. Even so, Sushi Noz is a place I’d happily recommend in New York.

Definitely one of the best omakase in nyc, and for me I would rank it number one. I have visited both here and noz 17, absolutely fantastic places！

Full disclosure: I'm discerning. For two Michelin stars and $600 omakase, I expected a much more unique experience.
The presentation was delightful, but as for the omakase, none of the fish smelled or tasted briny like at lower-quality sushi places, which is good, but nothing tasted spectacular either, and the dishes weren't that creative. It was decent but basic, not amazing. Nothing I ate gave "best Japanese food of my life" or "to die for" or "worth $600" vibes.
If it were half that price, it would be more appropriate and on par with similar Michelin-starred omakase experiences, such as The Den at Azabu South Beach (in terms of tastiness, not atmosphere). None of the ingredients stuck out as a reason to come back for more. Nor were additional servings of anything offered à la carte.
The dessert was the smallest possible piece of tamago, about the size of a thimble, not even half the size of a regular portion of tamago sushi or sashimi, and a decent-sized slice of melon.
Overall, I was uncomfortably bloated halfway through the experience, due to the salt and sugar, not from feeling full.
So overall, I didn't love this experience, and I normally love omakase counters.
