Sushi Nakazawa

???? ????Masters at their craft. Bar seating comes at a premium, which is warranted in my opinion but sushi is also great in dinning room. Service is top notch. Chef Nakazawa is currently off on weekends.

This place is 100% worth it. Go during the week when Chef Nakazawa is working and sit at the bar . Do the sake pairing. And then just stare at your date with delicious sushi in your mouth and smile.

From Ryan Sutton's 3 star review on live spot prawn : "ou pick up it with your hands and eat it; be sure to savor the jelly-like texture as it slide down your throat; this is a maritime gummy worm." Read more

Incredible omakase experience for a relative steal of $120 for 20 pieces, with a cheap and creative sake pairing offering too. Really special place for a celebratory dinner .

I’m French, living in SF and I came many times for work in Tokyo. Best sign for an amazing Japanese restaurant is seeing Japanese people in couple or as friends and a great card of sake . Service +++

Outstanding. First time to experience high end sushi . Entire experience was amazing. Not cheap especially if you are also doing the pairings but so worth it.

This was the best sushi I've had between Tokyo and New York. So fresh and perfectly seasoned. Definitely order the wagyu sushi a la carte after your omakase experience - it was one of the highlights!

Sushi was perfect- service was a 7. Our sommelier was impeccably helpful and kind, but our waiter was a bit of a snob and certainly talked down to us. My favorite pieces were scallop and japanese Uni!

Grab a seat at the bar . Get the paired sake menu. Savor each piece. Enjoy the smell (it's not weird!). Cleanse your palette with ginger between courses. It's superb. One of the best meals in NYC.

The omakase from this Jiro disciple is excellent. For the full experience, sit at the bar and enjoy Chef Nakazawa-san's hilarious personality. Fans of Jiro Dreams : the tamago sushi is obviously good.

The scallop and uni were probably the best I have ever eaten. The 3 tunas , hay smoked salmon and shrimp pieces stood out this night for their flavor. Nakazawa and his staff were incredibly gracious.

Sushi Nakazawa is the 10-seat omakase restaurant from former Jiro Ono-apprentice Daisuke Nakazawa . Sushi Nakazawa serves omakase tastings paired with sake , but plans to introduce an expanded menu.

The extra $30 to sit at the bar is worth it. Watch the Chef prepare the sushi himself, place them on your plate and be his goofy friendly self. $150 for 21 sushi isn't bad for an omakase in the city .

Chef Nakazawa is the best and definitely the highlight. All the fishes were amazing. I especially liked the unagi and scallop . Get the sake pairing and be ready to drop some $$$

A 10-seat sushi bar with a 21-course meal by famous chef Daisuke Nakazawa , featured in “Jiro Dreams of Sushi .” We are blown away by the carefully crafted and impeccably fresh pieces of sushi .

This place is very formal . It's great for a special occasion and to try it once. The fish is very fresh and I enjoyed the flavors that the chef created. It's definitely special. It is expensive though

Jiro Ono apprentice Daisuke Nakazawa 's sushi bar was booked up right from opening. It only got hotter when Pete Wells appointed the omakase restaurant to the hallowed ranks of 4-star NY restaurants . Read more

Maybe one of the best meals you'll ever have. Each sushi was rich and complex. Chef Nakazawa is friendly and inviting. Sit at the bar and you'll have no regrets. Sake pairing is top notch.

Perfect sushi . Every detail of each piece is worked through. Don't be upset if the dining room is fully booked , sushi in the sushi bar are as good as omakase in the dining room, same chefs in both.

Winner of our Food & Drink Awards 2014 Best Sushi , Sushi Nakazawa brings an NYC swagger to traditional nigiri . Omakase changes daily, but recent favorites included yellowtail and lean bluefin tuna . Read more

The best omakase ! Experience it at the sushi bar for an awesome experience! The A5 wagyu is absolutely incredible! Vast sake selection .

You can easily drop in to eat in the lounge without a reservation ; it's not crowded . No omakase there but plenty of exquisite sushi flights and maki rolls .

This is a fantastic experience. Definitely do the omakase with sake pairing. Worth the price and value- untraditional but a great insight into sushi 's future.

Omakse. Top purest sushi spot in the city . A place like sushi of gari is also excellent but they aren't all about the fish . This is place shows off the best sushi from local/international waters.

The Uni from Hokkaido is outstanding! The trio of Toro was awesome - medium Toro is the best, but you can cheat FTW w the truffles !

One of a kind culinary experience. In the beginning, they explain the ingredients they use to better familiarize u with each sushi served. Service is impeccable, Food was poetic. Wagyu beef is a must.

Everything you’ve heard about this chef’s loving way with fish is true. The $120, 21-course, all-sushi menu ($150 at the counter) works out to an impossibly cheap $7.14 per item. Read more

One of the most surreal foodie experiences for me. Excellent service (they pay attention) and each serving got better and better. Our chef was 100% attentive to us and gave us info on each piece.

Worth every penny. Seasonal Omakase here with inventive ingredients like yuzu and other homemade sauces . No soy but I promise you won't need it!

Best high end sushi for the vue paid! Amazing 23 pieces and the service was next level. Covid guidelines 100% followed. Try the additional Uni. Is a real must!

Phenomenal meal! Definitely do the omakase and get the sake pairing. Love the detail they put into everything. Chef Nakazawa is awesome and so fun! Definitely gonna treat myself to another meal soon!

Get a reservation for the bar so you can see Mr. Nakazawa make your sushi in front of you. If you eat in the dining room his understudies actually make your sushi . It's all ridiculously delicious.

The premium sake selection pairing is definitely worth it. It was a crash course in the possibilities of sake you never knew existed (like rosé sake ).

there will come a time, where you'll get 5 options for a handroll course. Do ask for the chef 's choice (special roll ). which could end up being the Blue Fin Toro or something else that's amazing!

The best meal I've had in my entire life. Definitely recommend the sake pairing. Generous pours at $45 is extremely reasonable.

omakase , sit at the bar . DO IT! nakazawa-san is OK with pictures! service style is similar to that of sukiyabashi jiro (where he apprenticed for 11 years). many local fish & wed/thur Uni is available

Beautiful space, and the meal is enjoyable even if you can't get a seat at the sushi bar . Lots of great sushi pieces, a couple a bit too bold with extra spice and flavors. Worth it though!

One of the best places I've had sushi ! My favs were the uni (freshest I've had), senate and saba courses. The online reservations open @ 12:05am est 1 month prior. Awesome atmosphere and chef !

Dress code is business/smart casual . I'd recommend at least a nice shirt + jeans (no sneakers/sandals). Jackets not required, but great for a date or special occasion if you want to dress to impress!

If you can get a resy, grab it. Of course, only on the day the Master is there. If possible pick the sushi bar instead of a table. So much more fun. It just heightens the sushi experience.

Best Omakase value in NYC. Make a reservation 30 days in advance to get a seat. I would pick the bar but only allowed 2 spots so a bigger party has to be in the dining room

Omakase at the sushi bar is the best experience you can have. Try to sit in the middle as that's where Chef Daisuke Nakazawa stands.

Outstanding omakase sushi prepared by Chef Nakazawa , a former apprentice of Jiro. The experience is worth every penny

Absolutely a must if you are a sushi lover. The best use of yuzu I have ever tasted. Beautifully done scallops . Cheers to the chef !!

Sushi Heaven marries Sushi Theater for a meal you won't forget. Must do the Saki pairing and don't think twice.

The best omakase in the city . Always high quality and the price is much better relative to the new places opening all over.

Sit at Chef Nakazawa 's sushi counter and enjoy his omakase sushi . Ask for sake recommendations (you can ask the chef himself) or have the course with a sake pairing.
