Be aware!
Be aware! This place has some nerve! We visited there to celebrate the birth of our son, we got a gift card from our friends which we used to pay part of the bill and completed the rest with our card. We added a nice gratuity of 20% (what we thought was 20%) but ended up paying DOUBLE what we had to pay since they just "assumed" we wanted to pay a 50% tip and charged our card for the entire amount AND the gift card. We saw the charge only a few days later, it was impossible to get a hold of the place and when I finally did - they said they could do NOTHING with it since they already paid their employees. (????) I would expect a fancy, $ 300-per-person place like Nakazawa, to be able to figure it out and compensate for the mistake they made with their employees and not take it out of their customer's pockets. ***Just make sure you check the bill 3 times before you leave*** We will NOT be returning.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent lunch
Excellent omakase lunch! Everything was very creatively prepared. Service was great. Being at the counter is the best experience. Recommend the truffle supplement, which I think was served on a piece of toro. The owner happened to be eating with a guest alongside us, which was cool.
Be the first to ReplySushi Nakazawa’s omakase experience sets a very high standard!
Chef Nakazawa’s twenty-course omakase owill blow you away with the assortment of fish and the hidden flavors that you will savor for as long as you possibly can. Service was impeccable and the champaign list made me extremely happy! It is not an inexpensive meal, but the experience is priceless!
Be the first to ReplyDisappointment
Japanese cuisine demands harmony on everything. Design, service, noise, and endless things is necessary to get the right harmony. There is nothing to say for the chef since everything was good, but the rest needs a lot of improvement. Servers needs to learn that client is not a student that can be looked from up. Arrogance has no place in any restaurant even with a Michelin star. With low ceilings and big A/C units you feel the wind. Tables are to high for the banches. Elevator music affects the volume of sound badly. Whole decoration has to be reset to get the harmony and serenity. It is the only restaurant that I know who charges 3% extra for paying by credit card. No Apple Pay, no contactless.
Be the first to ReplyNever thought this would happen…
I was here to treat my two friends to omakase for their first experience. I did a google search and found this sushi place and wanted to try it. When the server took me inside, I realized I made a mistake of making a reservation for a dining table as they escorted me to the dining table instead of the omakase bar. I was a little bit disappointed since my friends are visiting NY for the first time, so I decided to at least ask to move to another time tonight or to another date. If it didn’t work, I was ready to be told no and pay the $450. Instead of simply explaining it's not possible or finding an alternative time, the manager John Shin who handled this matter was furious and started explaining that it was a zero sum game and I was making the wrong decision by choosing the lose lose scenario. My friends and I were startled at the sudden and utterly condescending tone in which he spoke. At this time, I didn't want to dine here either now or ever. I had never been treated this rudely even at a McDonalds. Although I recognize my own mistakes and maybe I shouldn’t have even asked for a waive of fees. But just a simple “no it’s our policy and we cannot waive the cancellation fee sir.” would have been the end of it. I am not new to “dumb fee”. I maybe stupid but I was not being unreasonable, obnoxious or rude. And hear me out, if you think I am all at fault, fine. But please read some other negative reviews on Yelp. You’ll find similarly themed low reviews. I wish I gave up immediately and just paid 450 and walked away.
Be the first to ReplyRacist experience—not worth it!!
Had an absolutely horrible experience at sushi nakazawa. As we were waiting for our table, the gm told us we had to leave because we had given him feedback years ago that his behavior was racist. Talk about fragility. Three doctors asked to leave a restaurant. Never again
Be the first to ReplySuprised
I'll start this off with the preface Im never the kind of person to leave reviews. But me and my family decided to do a michelin star tour for sushi restaurants after the month of fathers day! However on Sunday July16th I had a lead server that put a very bad taste on our experience at this establishment. To start we had reservations at 6pm and as soon as we walked in we had our table waiting, which was excellent. Their was a server in a Blue suit who had a smug look when we entered and sat down at the restaurant. I have no idea if he had a long day, or was tired, I understand people can be sick of fake smiles and welcoming. But usually restaurants of this caliber your greeted with big smiles and warmth. In fact many people have dire need to work at such businesses. Everyone else was great. We were given the menu with NO explanation but like my family normaly operates at michelin stared restaurants, we each decided to order EVERY item off the menu! Our sake glasses were constantly filled and food came out on time. Service was very attentive but the said waiter who worked July 16th on Sunday may need additional training on etiquette. If you have an issue with guest or can't handle their request the first thing you do is APOLOGISE and then give explanation. You don't tell guest even at high rated restaurants "no your NOT ALOUD" without reason. This was not a corner of the road restaurant so maybe i expected better after experiencing other places. This same waiter had a European accent so maybe he isn't familiar on proper ways to handle things in america for excelsior service. I know my stay in Japan the people went above and beyond to accommodate and were very humble and refused cash in pocket many times. Well now here is the issue! I wasn't videoing but I was trying to take a photo of one out of the (5)"world class sake" bottles we ordered for keepssake. As soon as my phone was drawn out this gentlemen who was serving us, and explaining why this 150 dollar bottle of sake was so special to shot me down and said "NO VIDEOS" In a VERY nasty tone and same SMUG look! Very shocking and embarrassing for a party of four who was celebrating and ordered everything to be quite honest! I hope this is not the standard for this restaurant after having been to several Michelin stared restaurants. Let me help the man in blue from July 16th! If their is company protocol for no one to take video or photo of the sake presentation, you can simply say "SORRY sir but we don't allow videos" and this is normal for service at restaurants highly rated and not even Michelin stared! We have been to sushi Tskukimi, Sechhu Yokota, Yoshino or even Masa Sushi and had STELLAR performance from their Michelin star staff with emaculate attitude with presentations of food. We were so taken back and actually very embarrased his tone and attitude. If this is what the management teaches their staff for such a lucrative buisness SHAME ON THEM! And if this same server selectively told my table not to even photo or video without ANY reason and he had no right, well shame on him. This is the year 2023 and everyone enjoys social media presentations! We deserved an explanation and NOT an insult! Sake was decent , sushi was similar to nobu for that high price but the a5 wagu, sea urchin umi, shrimp sushi and otoro with truffles was out of this world. Some of the sushi rice came out VERY warm wich is a big NO because it can degrade the taste of the fish. Salmon cuts were stellar as the shaves wasabi! Gold dusted caviar was normal but nothing out of town. Shame I don't think it's worth coming back to pay nearly 3,000 dollars with tip for not above and beyond from the coveted "Michelin star service" ..Expecially from a lead server which it appeared. All other servers were amazing and didn't mine the camera! Thanks guys for giving us good time but I doubt I will ever come back. My father thoroughly enjoyed but i hope someone teaches this server from SUNDAY in the blue suit on July 16th proper etiquette with dealing with patrons! Your not allowed to talk to them as children! Expecially for a restaurant of that caliber wow! Their are so many top rated places in New york where you are treated so nice as you order and eat. Very dissapointed. Unless everyone comes to this place and orders everything off the menu with bottles of sake to receive subpar service? Wow good luck! And I'm not speaking above anyone. I have family who work in the service industry and when you speak to people you speak with tact and kindness! And you most importantly give them reason for the yes or NO. So shocking this happened but this is New york city? Can spend thousands elsewhere and have much better attitude from the service department! Reservations was at 6pm sharp. Management can check the tabs I'm sure. Please maybe contour the staff on how they treat guest, unless everyone comes in buying the whole dinner menu? And if everyone does this which I doubt, you can skip pass my review and not evaluate your employee. Wow that was a first for my family most definitely 😳 👌
Be the first to ReplyAwesome quality, presentation and service
This was one of the best omakase experiences we had. The ambiance is kind of bland, but the service,the quantity of the fish and the value was top notch. I would recommend it whole heartedly.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing selection of sushi
4.5, really eye-opening selection of sushi! Very expensive wine The set was $150 for 20 pieces. Definitely recommend to try
Be the first to ReplyPre cut fish for select counter!
We (3 of us) reserved the selected counter for our meal. Counter sits 5 and the settings is nice and pleasant. The chief came in and began preparation. To my SURPRISE, he took out trays of PRE-CUT sushi and began to make the sushis from them! We ordered a supplement uni tasting for $50, making the assumption “tasting” represents a few of… instead, the uni was one scope of “ special” uni…. You make your own judgement, is it worth the price to look observe a chief to make sushi from pre cut (can you imagine the multiple hands and environment they went through)?. Not to mention a scoop of uni for $50. You decide
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely spectacular, start to finish
I've had the good fortune to have sushi many places around the world. Sushi Nakazawa is in the top 3 - there are two other sushi restaurants in Japan that are very close in quality and experience, but there is nothing in the US that comes close. We sat at the sushi bar, the omakase was 21 different pieces. Additionally I opted for the Uni experience, wagyu, and truffle. I would not recommend the truffle - the Toro is so flavorful that the truffle is more of a distraction than an enhancer. Service is spectacular - each sushi chef is responsible for four diners at the counter, so there are no gaps in service. The pacing is a bit on the fast side, but that is the way Sushi should ideally be consumed. At the end we were full but not uncomfortable. We cannot wait to return!
Be the first to ReplyExceptional, as you would expect
Flawless restaurant with perfectly executed sushi. Lovely menu, outstanding quality of food, clinically good service and awesome sake options.
Be the first to ReplyAn intimate and elegant sushi omakase experience
Best sushi East of the Rockies! Coming from the West Coast, I had always been apprehensive of trying sushi in NY but then finally gave in. Not disappointed at all! I sat at the counter with 4 others and the experience of watching each piece of sushi being constructed at such speed, ease and precision was mesmerizing. The itamae was knowledgeable, extremely skilled and very personable. It was as if one was sitting in his home and having a meal. The 20-course Sushi omakase was simply delightful. There were fish that I had not had before (and I’ve eaten a lot of sushi in my time). Would go back again in a heartbeat.
Be the first to ReplyI took the tamogoyaki home to feed it to my toy poodle
I will never forget this place because it is, honestly, one of the worst sushi restaurants that I have ever been to in my entire life of avid sushi eating. - I did not eat a single piece of nigiri that was fresh. I have had fresher sushi from the Cantonese sushi maker at my local ShopRite. - Not only were the fish not fresh, the chefs did not even try to remedy the lack of freshness with proper seasoning. Needless to say, not a single bite had any complexity at all. - The rice to ikura and uni ratios were completely off. There was way too much rice because the chefs were too stingy with the ikura and uni. - The temperature of the rice and fish was inconsistent. Sometimes it was room temperature, sometimes it was too warm, sometimes it just fell apart upon touch... - By the time tuna course arrived, I gave up on the restaurant. I gave my husband the maguro nigiri immediately without a second thought. To no one's surprise, my brother immediately said, "Maybe the second one will be better" after eating the maguro. Guess I didn't miss anything. - The o-toro was a complete joke. The toro that I ate in middle-of-nowhere Carpinteria, California is better than this somehow overly torched (which I have never encountered in my life) aburi o-toro with zero fat. - The tamagoyaki was so bad I decided to wrap it in my napkin and bring it home to my dog. Unlike me, my dog loved the tamagoyaki. Thank goodness because that was the only positive from this dinner. - The dessert was a "Japanese crème brûlée" that had a typical crème brûlée crust but with something that tastes more like a panna cotta underneath. It was okay. Nothing special. I am really expecting more from a Michelin one-star restaurant, because I have had so much better from zero-star sushi restaurants. - Not a single server asked once if "everything is/tastes okay." - I honestly do not understand how this has one Michelin star. Either Sushi Nakazawa bribed the Michelin reviewers or Michelin reviewers do not understand sushi or both. The three of us finished the meal feeling utterly awful because were so unsatisfied and knew that we would have been more satisfied if we had ate supermarket sushi instead. We have no problem dropping $150 for sushi--we frequently drop double or more. However, when commanding such a high price, we expect quality, and quality we did not get.

My wife and I had high hopes of Sushi Nakazawa and we were not disappointed. The whole experience was stunning. A fantastic meal, prepared by a warm and friendly chef, that tasted sublime. Tip - Try the Sake pairing... it was awesome.
Be the first to ReplySushi in West Village
It is a good sushi but I think the price is too high for this omakase menù. Also, the location is elegant in West Village.
Be the first to ReplyExceptional Food, great service.
Amazing experience. Difficult to get a Sushi counter reservation but 100% worth the effort to do so, as having the food prepared in front of you, along with the Chef's commentary is wonderful.
Be the first to ReplySensational
An absolutely sensational journey of sushi! Sitting at the bar is the way to go. It is $ but a very special experience. Thank you for the great meal!
Be the first to ReplyStill great after all these years
Every time we come here the service and food are consistently great, even in the times of COVID! We have tried other omakase places in the city and always come back here year after year.
To be honest, the magic of this place has gone a bit since it first opened and was really run by Chef Nakazawa, and the sushi is still really great, just not as interesting as it used to be. However, still hands down the best omakase in town, and a great value too!
Last time we went our chef was clearly non-East Asian who worked his way up the rank to be the sushi chef, which we loved. It's a little weird that in this day and age, sushi places still feel like they need a certain ethnicity behind the bar. Kudos to Nakazawa for not heeling to that tired old trope!
Amazing!
This was an amazing experience. Be adventurous and try everything! Only downside is that it’s utterly impossible to get a sushi counter seat. Coolest thing, no soy sauce and you are encouraged to eat everything in one bite using your hands if you choose.
Be the first to ReplyBest Sushi that I have ever tasted
The 21 course Omakase at Michelin starred Sushi Nakazawa is an experience that we would like to remember for a long time. We went there for a celebration after having read great reviews of this place, and our expectations was high. But it was perfect. Every piece of Sushi had a distinct taste/flavor, and was meticulously prepared by the chef as we watched in awe. We opted for the Sake pairing, and so tasted 7 different kinds of sake, which perfectly complemented the delicate taste of Sushi. Being lovers of Japanese food, we have had Sushi in many places across the world, but this came out at the top. At 150 USD per person (excluding Sake) it was not cheap, but worth the price. Service was excellent as well.

Professional and personable all the way. Definitely on the top of best sushi restaurants either here in NYC or Japan.
The restaurant serves omakasi style meaning chef’s choice. Lunch includes 21 pieces with options to revisit favorites.
Chef Miguel proudly and skillfully shared his talents. The tuna and salmon were as smooth as butter. The roe popped with deliciousness. Everything had a delicate yet powerful flavor—a combination only found in the freshest fish with the right amount of seasoning. Just a touch of lime zest or salt flakes took the flavors over the moon.
The servers were incredibly attentive and polite. The sake sommelier was helpful as we are novice sake drinkers.
Not the best
If you’re a fan of Omakase from Asia, such as Shinji from Singapore, you won’t be a fan of this place. The dishes didn’t hit the spot, and the service wasn’t up to the mark. Went there for my anniversary and the best they could was put tiny candles on our desserts.

Delicious and great service! I went here for the first time in May and I am looking forward to going back as soon as possible.
