Sushi Nakazawa

"Came here for our anniversary meal, and it was a great experience. The sushi was delicious (fresh, seasoned perfectly), and the sake offerings paired very well. The chef was also friendly, making the experience not too stuffy. Highly recommend."

"Me and my partner spent Christmas holiday in NYC and had omakase here. This place is such a fun part of our vacation. It is hiding in a small neighborhood and no restaurant sign outside. We walked back and forth along the street like scavengers hunting trying to guess which is door the right one. Two regular customers stopped us and pointed to a small black door. Entered the door is a small waiting room surrounded by a sectional sofa. A sharply dressed host in dark suits standing behind a desk confirmed our reservation in a cool, stern expression. Next to him a warm young lady quickly came forward and collected our winter jackets and hats and put away to a cloakroom. After the dinner I asked my partner - don’t you think the waiting room is fun, one is cold and one is warm? She was like - don’t remember except tasting sushi."

"The restaurant was awarded one-star michelin in 2019 so I expected something “wow” to me but there is nothing special compared to other omakase places I had tried. Can’t deny that the fish was super fresh but most of pieces were plain. They basically gave us rice, fish, and wasabi. There were barely sauce added to the bite. I paid $150 for 20 courses which is reasonable but I want more “wow” overall."

"Sushi Nakazawa, awarded one Michelin star, is renowned for its exceptional omakase experience. The skilled chefs present a carefully curated selection of sushi, highlighting the finest flavors and textures. Each dish is a testament to the restaurant's dedication to quality and culinary artistry, making it a standout destination for sushi enthusiasts seeking a refined dining experience. Great tips! Making a reservation, communicating allergies, and exploring different courses with sake or wine pairings can enhance your experience at Sushi Nakazawa. Checking the website for updated operating hours and omakase course details is a smart move. Enjoy your dining experience!"

"Hands down the best omakase experience. We were seated at the sushi bar and the sushi and service were impeccable. There’s not much to say…just do it! The only downside for us this time, was that we dined here way back in 2015 when chef Nakazawa himself prepared and served us. However, seems like he no longer does that as he’s expanded and continues to expand, which is totally understandable. In hindsight, I guess we were fortunate to have had that experience 8 years ago."
