The service was good. The server gave us her recommendations for cocktails when she saw us struggling to decide. My friend got the Sumire Fizz and I got the Caipisake. I was very happy with my cocktail choice as it was sweet and refreshing. I don't think it contained that much sake but good nonetheless. We also ordered chicken karaage (paired with a slice of lemon and a side of sauce), the crazy tuna, and the toro trio. Our favorite was the crazy tuna. The fish were all fresh and would defs come back here again if we're in the area in the future. Highly recommend the Caipisake and the crazy tuna!

We shared the Grown-Up Happy Meal and the Grande Nigiri, which was honestly the perfect amount for us. The Happy Meal came with miso soup and, true to its name, it definitely made us happy. The real highlight, though, was the cod. It was ridiculously buttery, smooth, and delicious, and may have officially become my new favourite fish dish. I'd recommend :)

A cosy sushi spot in Williamsburg. I came here with a friend for dinner on a Tuesday night - we…read morewere seated pretty quickly, but it wasn't empty by any means, parties were coming in and out. The waitress serving us was friendly. You're given an iPad to browse their menu - I always find it helpful when there are pictures, so you have an idea what you're ordering. The soft-shell crab appetizer was my favorite item. Big portions, very crispy and honestly one of the better soft shell crabs I've had. The grande sashimi offered a good variety of fish. Each piece had a topping/garnish with added more flavor. I thought the size of the sashimi slices were decent too - good to share with someone. However, the rolls were very disappointing. The issue was with the rice - it was very gooey, mostly likely from being overcooked. While the spicy salmon had a decent filling (though rice still terrible), we didn't taste much eel in the eel roll. Maybe it was a bad night for rice, as the sashimi and crab was good.

This place feels like it needs to pick a lane with the food the offering is too all over the place. Upon walking up to the restaurant there is a BIG sushi flag, a little further up the block on the corner there is a sign that says sushi and szechuan.... completely different countries..... completely different cuisines with nothing in common. It seems like they are trying to be too many things. Sushi was ok. The rock shrimp tempura for $16 was a soggy overpriced mess. It was soggy and very disappointing. The staff was very nice but are trying to booster their experience and reviews with free appetizer and ice cream. I imagine all the 5 star review have been paid for. While I ALWAYS appreciate good hospitality I would prefer to skip the free stuff and just have better food. We did order the "special Japanese fluke" that the waitress high impressed on us. We were told it was very special and hard to get. I don't know the cost of it but it was muddle with truffle oil on it. No good piece of fresh clean fish imo should be ruined with truffle oil or a jalapeno slice. I felt bamboozled on that dish. I would suggest they take down some of the signage which makes it look cheap and confusing. Concentrate on ventalation of the space as lot of deep frying was going on that gave odor. Do one type of food and do it right. Nice people but I wouldn't go back or recommend it.

We ordered the Pork Belly Bibimbap ($19), Kalbitang ($27), Steak Cubes ($40), Kalbi ($38), and Dokebi Spicy Korean Fried Chicken ($17 for 8pcs). We also paired the meal with a pitcher of Kolsch ($36). The entrees come with 6 banchans, which had some unique options like burdock root. Unfortunately the rest of the banchans were not well marinated/fermented. Also, when we asked for a refill of the banchans, the server never came back. When I asked again, she brought it but questioned me that we already got ours, which was strange as I confirmed that the banchans were unlimited. What's the point of a Korean restaurant that doesn't serve unlimited banchans?! Anyways, the rest of the food was good --not bad, not great. Everything also tasted different from how it is typically made. It almost felt like it was Korean food made to cater to non-Koreans. Also note that the dokebi spicy is actually quite spicy and that's coming from someone who enjoys spicy food. Overall, the place got the job done but didn't impress me whatsoever.

Everything tasted noticeably fresh. It was served over rice with caramelized onions and an egg. The flavors were sweet, tangy, and umami. Portions are decent too - I left with leftovers. Overall, good food and service. Oh! They serve their plum wine in the cutest carafe.

Now, this does not come from a place of hate but solely an observation of sheer absence of the art of hospitality. My boyfriend and I were sat in the last two seats of the bar by the kitchen window, next to the door and the restrooms. In any establishment, this area of the house is most likely the least desirable. Tonight's waitstaff made sure to live up to that expectation, which they most certainly did not do intentionally...however there was zero interest in making our experience (let alone anyone else's) something special. Needless to say it was memorable, but not in a positive way, not in the slightest. Our experience was filled with the clanking of dishes, haste, theatrics of stacking wasabi, ginger, and edamame all the way up a servers arm. Though his efforts of balancing these dishes could be seen in his eyes as talent, they emitted nothing but idiocy. The noise of customer chatter is one thing but stomping, running (frequently), and yelling by the waitstaff is simply obnoxious. Although our meal met our standards of what we expected from a Nozawa restaurant, the staff needs a stern reminder that dining experiences begin and end with the person curating that experience. Our food was delicious, but the atmosphere of the restaurant resulted in us grabbing our check and departing before our last course made it to the table. Hats off to the staff of SUGARFISH Williamsburg for providing an incredible example of extremely poor hospitality.

It was my first time here and I enjoyed the meal! I was overall very satisfied with the quality of the pieces throughout. It's just a notch below omakase, but it was still great! I really enjoyed the Tuna and Chutoro Sashimi plate at the beginning - the ponzu sauce paired really nicely with it. My other favorite piece was the New Zealand Sea Bream Sushi, which was topped with citrus salt, yum! I got a tip from my friend, who said to ask the server for their Birthday Registration card check in, where if you fill out the card at least twice within the year prior to your birthday, you get a free "Trust Me" or "Trust Me Lite" meal on your birthday! It was super easy to sign up + you don't have to subscribe to a newsletter or anything like that lol Would def return, as I felt that it was good value for all the course pieces (14 in total) you get, which is comparable to the value of omakase.
