Great omakase at an incredible price for Michelin recognized. We went with the sushi counter, Classic featuring 17 pieces before supplemental add ons. Each bite was exceptional with enhancements including yuzu, aged soy, and other flavorful toppings. We skipped the sake pairing opting instead for a beautiful bottle of Sancerre. Service was unobtrusive, friendly and helpful. Big plus to chef for asking midway through the tasting if we wanted to reduce the rice to fish ratio so we wouldn't overfill on rice. Excellent! Go
My first omakase experience and I'd go back. The sushi here is so fresh and I particularly liked the fact that you could opt out of some of the pre-fixe option (I don't love uni, so I opted out of that). This was a very traditional experience and the servers tell you so much about each piece before you eat them. We had two left-handed people in our party and they even adjusted each round so it wasn't difficult to grab each piece with their dominant hand. A great experience for anyone looking for a omakase sushi experience!
Wow - we did the chefs omakase which is basically I believe 17 pieces and 3 appetizers. At first I was hesitant with the add on but now that we have had it. Try the appetizers. It was so good. I especially loved the soup which was a fish with king crab and an infusion of (something I don't remember). We also had the Wagyu beef tartare with caviar and crispy dill layered on top of an extra crispy seaweed. Again, something I don't normally reach for but was also very good. We loved how clean everything was and how everyone was in sync with each other. Sitting at the bar is def a must. The toro nigiri "flight" was amazing. My absolute fav was the Kama-toro (cheeks) It was super fresh and melt in your mouth! The tamago at the end .. was also very surprisingly good. I didn't think much of it until I had my first bite. Same goes for the green tea and crème brûlée. This was a first Michelin experience for us and am glad it was here. Parking was also not bad. We parked right outside and left our jackets in the car. But they also have a coat check upon entering. By the time we left, there were more spots open right across the street.
After Shin Bay in Scottsdale, Sushi Nakazawa is easily the best sushi my husband and I have ever had. The whole evening felt seamless, from the effortless online reservation to being seated within minutes and welcomed by a server who clearly knew the menu inside and out. We chose the 18-course omakase, and my husband added the sake pairing, which ended up being its own adventure. He said each pour felt personally matched to the fish. I wish I'd kept track of every piece, but part of the joy was letting the progression unfold. Each bite somehow outdid the last. The sea urchin was my personal standout - pure, silky perfection. We left wonderfully, almost comically full. A tiny note: dessert. They served a "Japanese crème brûlée," but we weren't quite sure what made it Japanese. A little context would've tied it together. Overall, the experience was worth every penny. If you're looking for a Michelin-star meal that feels intentional and memorable, Sushi Nakazawa absolutely delivers for a special occasion.
West coast omakase places r plenty with the contemporary style omakase with complex flavors but Sushi Namazawa felt simple, classic, focusing on the quality softness of the fish. I dont remember having as soft cuts and simplistic while still being surprised by the seasonal flavors, like yuzu, pepper leaf, lemony, and alot of blow torch smoky flavor. We were right in front of chef for lunch and got to interact and got to see our reactions to each piece. My bf and i loved the experience, excellent fish, service, flavors and such a good value for a Michelin star restaurant. Thank u Chef!
Came here for my second time after two years and honestly didn't have as great of an experience. The fish was really good, the uni, the salmon, the tuna, but I just didn't have a great experience with the staff and ambiance. First of all the bathroom was DISGUSTING. It smelled so bad and almost ruined my appetite before the meal. The host also came off as kind of rude. It was weird to me how we had to wait for 15 minutes to be seated even when our seats were empty. I also think a dessert would be nice after such an expensive tasting. Apples were good but... didn't leave me satisfied as a final bite.
Very attentive staff. Super fresh fish. Sat at the end of the bar and got to see the chefs prepping some of the hot stuff along with preparing the fish. The one downside is that their portable stove tops make really high pitched noises when heating up, but you eventually get used to it. Did the original omakase which was 21 pieces for 190.
Celebrating a birthday at Sushi Nakazawa is less of a dinner reservation and more of an entrance into a beautifully choreographed world where sushi becomes performance art--and you're the very lucky audience. This is high-end omakase with a capital O, and it delivers on every quiet, exquisite detail. From the moment we were seated--three of us at the counter--we knew we were in good hands. Two servers emerged in perfect synchrony, placing plates before us as if conducting a culinary ballet. It was subtle, deliberate, and oddly soothing. Then, in a moment of quiet brilliance, they noticed I'm left-handed. Without a word, every single round after that was presented in reverse, just for me. Not a single "oh wow you're lefty!" announcement, just graceful, thoughtful accommodation. That kind of attentiveness? Rare. And deeply appreciated. As for the sushi itself--every piece was a study in balance, temperature, texture, and technique. Impossibly fresh, impeccably cut, and served at the exact second it wanted to be eaten. Each bite made the case for silence at the table, not because it's stiff or formal, but because you just want to focus. Truly, sushi that demands your full attention--and rewards it. Now, the one hiccup. At one point, my phone--traitor that it is--accidentally flashed mid-photo. And the server's reaction was immediate and intense, cutting through the serene atmosphere like a needle drop in a meditation room. I understand the sanctity of the experience, and that preserving ambiance is important, but the reaction was... a bit jarring. It momentarily shifted the mood from reverent to rattled. That said, it was a blip in an otherwise extraordinary evening. The service was still exceptional, the ambiance largely serene, and the experience--especially for a birthday--felt thoughtful and refined in a way that's hard to come by, even at this level. In short: Sushi Nakazawa is a masterclass in detail and discipline. Come hungry, come respectful, maybe leave the flash at home--but absolutely come.
Definitely one of the better value Omakases in New York. Not only was each piece delicious, but the service went above and beyond as well. Ambiance was very intimate and formal. It's great for dates, celebrations, and smaller groups. Overall, I definitely plan to come back and try their other menu.
Ordered: Chef's Omakase (~$190): 21pc omakase including green tea and creme brûlée A5 Wagyu Nigiri (~$18) Glass of Bijofu 'Hina' Sake (~$32): Junmai Daiginjo, Kochi Aya's take: Exceptional experience at the infamous Sushi Nakazawa! For those who don't know, the revered sushi chef Jiro Ono trained & taught chef Nakazawa for many years. Sushi Nakazawa offers a traditional, elevated, and intimate omakase experience. You can expect all the pieces to be high quality, well-thought out, and yet very simple! The 21pc has enough variety to keep it interesting and was definitely enough to be filling. I was absolutely stuffed by the end of it; this actually ended up being my only meal that day. The A5 Wagyu Nigiri is a must get! It was so fatty, buttery, and the definition of "melts in your mouth". It's absolutely worth the ~$18 splurge. They have a vast sake selection and after some deliberation, I went with a Glass of Bijofu 'Hina' Sake per my waitress's recommendation. It was light, citrusy and aromatic. The medium-light body and clean flavors made this perfect to wash down the omakase with. Amazing way to celebrate my birthday!

Great value for lots of solidly sized pieces. We did the dining room, which was cheaper than the bar omakase ($160 vs $190), but I honestly enjoyed having our pieces come in groups rather than one at a time. For example, I liked trying the different tuna types in a row (from least fatty to most fatty I think). The fish was extremely tender and well flavored. Came for my friend's birthday and they didn't allow us to bring in outside food, but put a candle next to the crème brûlée dessert. read more

Awesome omakase for special occasions. Went for a bday dinner - was here last year and felt it was a great enough experience to come back and was not disappointed. Every dish was delicious and well prepared. Would def be back next time around (and hope they finally open in LA)! read more

Incredible dining experience at Sushi Nakazawa. Came here with my husband and two friends. Service was unsurprisingly impeccable. Host greeted us at the door and was friendly, and our waiters were very attentive and noticed the smallest details! They noticed that two of our diners were left handed and they immediately switched up the way they served the sushi. We opted for the classic omakase experience and every piece of fish we had was incredible. The wine I had was also great and paired well with everything we ate. Truly all the fish was like butter, it was so good. The space itself is nice. Truly my only complaint is that it's very brightly lit with overhead lighting- that's just not my personal taste, but I understand that it is done to showcase the beautiful fish so I'm not docking them any stars for it! It's hard to pick a favorite honestly, but the tuna, salmon, and scallop really stood out to me. I would come back for a special occasion! read more
Service was and food was delicious -- everything was perfect!! We sat at the counter and got to see the chefs making everything, was worth it. We got the regular omakase which has 21 pieces and dessert, as well as the caviar add on. We also got 2 glasses of sake, both of which were really good as well. The service and ambiance were great as well, everyone was dressed very well and the servers were very attentive. Overall would definitely recommend this hole in the wall restaurant in West Village!! read more
Very good quality sushi and incredible sake pairing. We sat at the lounge counter- while the ambiance wasn't my favorite, the sushi chef was wonderful and made the experience enjoyable. Everyone who works there is extremely polite, welcoming, and brings a calm, refined energy that elevates the experience. My husband and I left wanting more- not more food, but more depth of flavor and that extra "wow" factor that makes each bite truly memorable. Overall, it was a very good experience with excellent service, even if it didn't completely blow us away. read more
Heard some great things about this place so our expectations were high but happy to say those expectations were met. We had a reservation at the chef's counter for dinner. We were greeted upon entry and had our coats checked. After waiting for maybe 5 minutes or so, they led us to our tables. Service was as you'd expect from a higher end omakase spot through the meal. The three appetizers were great and the 20 or so pieces of sushi after were very well enjoyed. My favorite by far were the toro (fatty tuna belly) and eel which might've been the two best sushi pieces I've ever had - literally melts in your mouth. Dessert pieces were great as well. The place itself is cute and intimate. It's clean and well decorated. If you like sushi, then Nakazawa is worth a shot. read more
I'm not usually a big fan of omakase, but I've heard great things about Sushi Nakazawa. The tasting menu consists of approximately 20 pieces of nigiri, and it's priced differently depending on where you sit: $190 at the counter and $160 in the dining room. Although I'm not an expert on Japanese cuisine, I can say that each plate of nigiri was thoughtfully arranged and beautifully plated. All the pieces tasted incredibly fresh, and I had the perfect bite every time. The staff were very attentive, and the tea and crème brûlée were great finishing touches to wrap up the meal. read more
A one of a kind michelin-starred omakase restaurant. I went to @sushinakazawa. It serves a nigiri-sushi exclusive "omakase" menu consisting of about twenty pieces of nigiri with fish and shellfish sourced globally and a special focus placed on Japan. Each piece is so fresh and made right in front of you. It is priced at $190 in the sushi and lounge counter and $160 in the dining room. Everything was so delicately made and put together all right in front of you. Although it is on the higher end, it is a once and a lifetime experience that I will never forget! -@bellieeats read more
Nakazawa should just do a Tamago tasting. Seriously. Pair the most brilliant egg preparation on earth with... well... they'd come up with something. I'm sure of it. Seriously, though, the entire omakase experience is one of brilliant deliciousness. They do a great mix or "old school" classic nigiri more fresh and expertly prepared and presented than most anywhere else's intermixed with some wonderful things I've never had anywhere else. But... there's just something so, so special about the Tamago. (Yes, that's Tamago with a capital 'T') There's a lot of options for omakase these days, but Nakazawa is still at the top of my list. The space is lux but inviting. Service is impeccable and not overbearing. And the omakase is always always special. read more
I've come here several times since 2016 and the ambiance, staff and quality of the sushi does not disappoint. My husband is a big fan of the Jiro Dreams of Sushi documentary and continues to come back to this fine establishment. Lovely Michelin starred restaurant. read more
I've heard so many friends rave about this place so was super excited to try it! Maybe my expectations were a bit high so though I enjoyed omakase experience, ultimately nothing really stood out to me. For $200+ pp, I would expect to have something to write home (yelp) about... Don't get me wrong, if you're looking for high quality fish, attentive service, and fancy dining ambience, Sushi Nakazawa checks those boxes! But for me personally, it's missing that "mhmm wow" moment and creativity that would set it apart from other omakases in the same price point. read more
Remember the times before streaming services were so easily accessible? Like when Netflix sent DVDs in the mail? Well, that's how I first saw the Jiro Ono documentary and learned about his apprentice Daisuke Nakazawa. Watching him make that tamago imprinted a memory that created a desire to taste a piece of that talent. Since the opening in 2013, I've been meaning to go to this spot forever but only had a chance this year. After 10 years of being open, I'm happy to say (or at least think) the quality of everything about this joint has not gone down. The dinner itself, the drinks, the service, and atmosphere are impeccable. The price, a very important part, is very reasonable. Honestly, they could probably charge more (thankfully they don't!). For a solid omakase experience that does break the bank, where you get the fish experience you're seeking, and where you might be able to see/meet a celebrity chef, Sushi Nakazawa is hands down one of the best upscale sushi experiences in NYC. read more

The service was excellent. The set up was great. The restaurant was very neat. The Staff were perfect. I am not satisfied with the Omakase. They served us 3 kinds of Salmon and 3 kinds of Tuna. In my opinion, this was ridiculous. There's just so many fish from Japan that are worth eating but I think that method is their way of meeting the numbers of sushi to serve. Pretty much an expensive Omakase compared to other restaurants, to eat 3 Salmon from different t places and 3 Tuna to add up to meet 22 sushi's. read more
Been wanting to come here since I saw 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' but the first few years SN was open it was impossible to get a reservation. We were able to get one last week and booked the Chef's Omakase at the sushi bar for $190. Very pricy but the service was impeccable. The omakase has 21 pieces and we ordered the Wagyu beef supplement. I thought all the pieces were outstanding except for the scallop, Uni and the salmon roe/caviar. I knew I did not like uni or the caviar but was unsure if I could ask for a substitution or that would be considered rude. The uni for me was so bad I wanted to spit it out into my napkin. Also, I couldn't finish the radish roll. I left it on the plate (sorry). Was not to my liking. For dessert, we were presented with creme brulee. Was a nice, unexpected surprise. Our chef explained where each piece came from and the staff was very attentive. Was a lovely experience. read more
Reservations are released 2 weeks in advance - snag one! Michelin omakase spot in the West Village. There is a very nice waiting area when you walk in as the prior time slot is wrapping up. You can choose between two counters or their dining room area (different price and not the same omakase experience in the dining room area). You can also add wagyu or uni. Great service - the sushi chef and the staff are very attentive. As it is 20 courses, you can also ask for less rice, and the sushi chef will also ask you if you want less rice when you have halfway through the experience, which is what I opted for. The experience takes about 2 hours and we were left full afterwards. They provide chopsticks but I would recommend eating it with your hands. The fish is extremely fresh, and the sushi chef describes the fish and any other seasoning. We added one piece of wagyu and it was delicious! They end the courses with tamago and a creme brulee. The whole experience is definitely worth the price and we would come again (for special occasions). read more

A must-try spot for all sushi lovers. I had the chance to try the Chef's Omakase at Sushi Nakazawa when I went to NY, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Every course was a showcase of precision, freshness, and insane attention to detail--it honestly felt like watching (and eating!) edible art. The chefs were engaging and clearly passionate, which made the whole experience feel intimate and elevated. From the buttery toro to the perfectly balanced tamago, each bite somehow topped the last. The pacing was perfect, and the ambiance was upscale without being too serious or stiff. Yes, it's definitely a splurge and be ready for your wallet to cry a little, but it's 100% worth it. One of those bucket-list meals that absolutely lives up to the hype. A true NYC gem. read more

- came for my birthday - certainly one of the most expensive meals of my life with the premium pairing alone being almost $200pp - the attention to detail by both the staff and the chef were obvious, welcoming back my partner who hadn't been there in about 3 years - most meals I've had that have exceeded $200pp have been disappointing in the sense that they were good but either I left hungry or just found it underwhelming/underserving of the cost/Michelin rating, this was not the case here - as someone who often struggles with if meal x is 10x more enjoyable than meal y to justify the cost, I would recommend this place for a special occasion (jury is still out on the dilemma but will go as far as to say it's far more worth it than most) - the space is airy and comfortable tho still elevated - I enjoyed most of the pairings and even found a new favorite sake after a decade of being loyal to one brand read more
If you're looking for a really nice, high quality omakase that won't break the bank too much (it will still hurt, but not sushi noz level hurt), then go here. I actually really liked the table style service, rather than the sushi bar. It felt like I could talk with my friend more. But I know some people don't like that for omakase, so completely up to you. Each and every piece of sushi was well thought out for the order of which you eat them and it was all so fresh and melt in your mouth delicious. Still dreaming about the scallop and salmon pieces. Word to the wise though -- don't get their non alcoholic wine. It is just apple juice. The most expensive apple juice you'll ever drink. read more

Celebrated my birthday here and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect meal. This was the best omakase I've been to so far. Our chef was very nice and friendly. All the fish was presented perfectly and definitely a must try restaurant in DC if you like sushi! read more

Ask the Community - Sushi Nakazawa
There don't appear to be any lunch reservations on Resy. Is that right? If so, is it safe for 2 people to just arrive when they open, or is there a line requiring earlier arrival to be safe?
I see lunch availability on Resy! We made a reservation for lunch, and from my observation, it seems to be strictly reservations only.
How's the parking situation?
Street parking, they're not affiliated with any garage from the last time I asked.
How is sushi counter experience different than the sushi lounge experience?
At the counter , there's an extra toro hand roll
Is there anything we can order for kid?
Hello! The entire menu is Omakase style, so it's a tasting menu chosen by the restaurant. There's no "menu" to choose food items. You may want to call the restaurant first and let them know of your kid's food preferences to make sure.
Is your sushi rice made with sugar?
What's the difference between the sushi counter and the lounge counter?
not much, same serving style as the sushi counter. only noticed slightly different reservation time slots for lounge and sushi counter
What nights does Chef Nakazawa work?
He doesn't have a set schedule as he spreads out his time between other locations and frequently travels back to Japan, so sadly there's no way to know until you're there yourself.
Do they do sashimi or only sushi?
If you're asking if they do rolls? No. I don't think they do sashimi either. Just nigiri.
Can you order from their a la carte menu only? From the reviews it seems like you have to order the omakase menu and then may supplement from an a la carte menu if you wish.
How many pieces do you get for each omakase set for 120$ set and 150$ set?
21 pieces for the $150 set
Do they have reservations for a single person at the sushi bar? Resy only shows availability for two or more in the evenings and when you switch to one person it shows no availability. Should I book for 2 though I am one?
I would not do that, as they could charge you for two spots. Call them and ask.
Price for omakase per person 2019?
Just went today and the price was $180 for the counter and $150 for dining room.
Athletic shoes acceptable? My wife and I are planning on dressing smartly for dinner, but since we're going to be on our feet all day and again after dinner our regular dress shoes would be murder. Do we need to carry a backup pair with us all day?
I was there the other night with athletic running shoes. I didn't feel uncomfortable or out of place. It's an expensive restaurant so you may see others dressed up more but you can do as you like
How long should I give myself for lunch? Is 1 hour 30 minutes enough, or too rushed? Thank you!!
I think too rushed, I did dinner here and they keep up the pace pretty well but you don't want to rush this meal!!!!!
Can you make changes to the omakase, for example if you wanted no shell fish or kosher?
Be assured. The chef does the koshering process as learned in Japan as a young boy.
Do you have to order omakase, it seems that way on the website.. I wanted to surprise my bestfriend as he loves sushi but I only eat vegetarian rolls is there any way around it?
Per their website: "Please inform our staff of any dietary restrictions or allergies. We are unable to accommodate a vegetarian diet, or diet that does not include raw fish.… Read more
Is there a difference between sitting at the bar vs dinner? I cant seem to get a reservation for the bar
The bar is MUCH cooler. It's a spectacle and worth The patience - but, of course, that's what everyone wants.
We're going there for lunch. Is it the same omakase menu as dinner?
I believe so. And after, you can order pieces a la carte if you'd like via an expanded menu option. when you make the reservation, you'll see the note - "We serve only an omakase tasting menu prepared by Chef Daisuke Nakazawa"
