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.

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.

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.

If you're looking for an unforgettable omakase experience, this place is a true gem. The setting is intimate—just a few seats—which allows for a deeply personal and interactive dining experience with the chef. Every course was beautifully presented and thoughtfully explained, showcasing not only the incredible quality of the ingredients but also the chef’s passion and precision. Each bite was a work of art, from the delicate sashimi to the perfectly seasoned nigiri. The pacing was perfect, the sake pairings were spot-on, and the entire experience felt more like a culinary journey than just a dinner. What truly set this omakase apart was the attention to detail and the warm hospitality. You’re not just a guest here—you’re part of the experience. I highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates craftsmanship, subtlety, and the joy of discovering new flavors. It's an absolute must-try.
