No words! We went last night and the whole experience start to finish was an exceptional experience. From the ambiance, the service, the professionalism and quality of food… and sake lol. One of the best omakase experiences I’ve had. And the best in NYC hands down. Can’t wait to go back!! Shout out Tim, chef Noda & Jimmy! You guys are incredible!

A destination restaurant. Absolutely exceptional. Tim the GM and the rest of the staff are simply top notch without being pretentious or overly attentive. A small intimate restaurant that allows Chef Tsunoda to engage with every customer, answer questions, laugh, and hone each dish specifically for that customer. Chef Tsunoda's skills and creativity are truly worth the experience. The array of dishes during the 20-30 courses was diverse, superbly prepared, creative and absolutely unique. If you are seeking the best omakase experience (perhaps anywhere), try Noda.

Over priced. The manager only gave attention to his friends.

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional, with every detail thoughtfully executed. You can truly see the chef’s pride and precision in every dish—it’s a pleasure to watch him work.

The general manager, Tim, deserves special mention. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and ensures every guest feels taken care of. The sake pairing was one of the best I’ve ever had and I would highly recommend adding it to your experience.

Overall, Noda delivers an unforgettable dining journey. I can’t wait to come back on my next getaway to New York.

No words can really describe the attention to detail The Chef and the rest of the team provide. Chef is meticulous with his preparation. Hes funny and personable. Timoteo was superb and the rest of the staff. I'm not a fan of raw sushi, but this has completely changed my mind. Delish.

The best omakase experience in NYC. My husband and I love to do omakase dates in every city we visit and have been to many — we have to say this was the best. Tim and Chef are so knowledgeable and friendly they take the experience to the next level. Their wine list is one of the best we’ve seen. Highly highly recommend :)

I had been to many Omakases all over the world but this is the first time I’m writing a review for one. I would said Noda is one of the best Omakase experiences I had ever had. Food is great, atmosphere is awesome, the setting is stunning. But the best part is the chef and the service director. It was really fun chatting with Chef Noda and we had learned many interesting things about Japan. The service director Tim was at another level. He is probably the most humorous person I had ever met in the real life that makes everyone laugh all over the night. He is also very hospitable that he recommended so many other great Japanese restaurants. And really went out of his way by getting us another last minute reservation for another Omakase places directly from their manager. Overall, this is the best dining experience that we had for a long while.

Are you in the mood for a very special meal with an incredible ambiance? You must eat at Noda. The food is not only extremely delicious but also fresh, flown in from Japan. The service from Tim and Seth is an essential part of the experience. Tim has a warm and welcoming personality and possesses extensive knowledge about the restaurant and the food. I appreciated his reliability in answering all my questions. Seth was also a delight to have as a server. Chef Noda does an incredible job of curating the best experience, making us feel like good friends with everyone by the end of the meal. It was amazing to enjoy the best food with such a fun experience. Run to this place for a special occasion—it should not be missed!

This is such a special place — you're in for a treat! We've been coming here for our anniversary for the past two years and it's wow'd us each time. There are only two seatings a day and 8 seats in the entire restaurant, so a very intimate experience. The chef and staff are chatting with you the whole time and are so knowledgeable and talented. They often research their guests as well — they knew all about my partner's work and running hobby. (I guess I was harder to find info on!)

The food (as well as sake/wine pairing, which I highly recommend) is SUCH an experience. The best sushi I've had, hands down. Everything is presented so beautifully as well — each new sake and/or wine is brought in a new gorgeous glass.

This is always at the top of my recommendation list for friends and family seeking the right spot to celebrate a special occasion.

Delicious and ever-changing seasonal omakase dishes done perfectly by Chef Noda. Service is noteworthy, Chef Noda himself is both funny and friendly. So is the rest of the team. Service director Tim is a remarkable talent, showing professionalism in everything he does and says. The overall atomsphere here is welcoming and upscale without any snobby feeling. Food is always top nothing, fresh, unique, creative, well presented, and most importantly, delicious. We have been here quite a few times and will definitely be back from more. Keep up the great work Team Noda!

🤩 SUMMARY

Magic happens here. If you haven’t tried their hot and cold cocktail (all in one), you are certainly missing out. The bartender in the photo is also a splendid conversationalist and excellent bartender. He’ll be sure to keep your thirst well quenched. 🙃

DESERVING OF MICHELIN

This Michelin star establishment deserves it. Their cocktails truly are very different differentiated than most high-end cocktail bars I have been. I came here just for the drinks and left yearning for more and to revisit next time!

There are cocktails on the menu that taste like food you would eat. Think of an immersive meal in your mouth, but in a drink. Noda gives you an experience that is one of a kind — worth a visit.

You’re welcome! Xx

I recently had the pleasure of dining at your sushi restaurant, and I must say, the sushi was absolutely outstanding. However, I would like to share some feedback regarding the service I received.

While I appreciated the attention from Mr. Kim, I found his behavior somewhat intrusive. He seemed to be eavesdropping on guest conversations and joined it and spoke loudly enough that it echoed throughout the room. Additionally, it was uncomfortable that he was inquiring about the occupations and companies of all the guests.

Despite this, I genuinely enjoyed the exquisite sushi and would love to return for another visit.
