nice seat at counter, delicious fresh sushi bites with succinct delicious descriptions of fish/preparations, excellent in-depth sake pairing with friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Service is very nice— friendly and professional staff and chefs. Personally, I think sushi rice there needs some more work. Wagyu beef was not as fresh (greyish colour before cook).

Decent food, but for the price I think it's fair to expect much more.Sake pairing was really un-impressive. Each bottle seemed to be picked for novelty not for taste or matching the course.Also the chu toro and otoro were questionable.

The quality and freshness of the fish was amazing. The chef is a master and the experience with him for lunch was almost mediative. This was a very no frills omakase experience, in terms of innovation or creativity or “vibes”. Just fresh good quality nigiri/ with options for uni/wagyu/caviar add ons. I did a sake pairing and the context/education/history that my server provided along with instructions regarding which bites to pair w/ was perfect and informative! Service was excellent and in sync and the chef timed things perfectly for everyone at the counter including giving us a heads up on starting our new pairing for a particular fish/waiting a moment or two for sake to be poured before serving. I knocked a star off bc the manager of the restaurant should get rid of counter chairs that require their staff to have to fully pull us out or tuck us in.. it’s too much work for them and just not great /though they did an amazing job.

An absolute temple to sushi and sashimi, and the best Japanese in the city. Miss this at your own peril.

I've been to the best sushi restaurants in the world and never was I denied soy sauce in my life. I put salt even on my pizza if I feel like it and this ruined the whole experience for me. Food was medium, sushi masa is a 3 Michelin star and they were more than happy to give me soy sauce when I requested it. I definitely understand to recommend the sushis without it, but to refuse it even after I explained that my taste was maybe overly salty was just unnecessary.

I had an incredible dinner at Sushi Nakazawa in NYC, despite a slightly awkward start – I arrived a bit late for the omakase, and the chef and staff kindly waited for me as each sushi piece is crafted simultaneously. This added an extra layer of appreciation to my experience.The sushi was nothing short of phenomenal. Each piece was not only fresh but also artfully prepared, a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. The chef's meticulous attention to detail was evident in every bite, with flavors that were perfectly balanced and textures that complemented each other beautifully.In addition to the omakase, we indulged in an extra box of uni. This turned out to be a fantastic decision. The uni was remarkably fresh, offering a rich and creamy flavor that just melted in the mouth. It's a rarity to find uni this good, making it a highlight of our meal.Overall, Sushi Nakazawa delivered an exceptional dining experience. Despite the initial hiccup of my late arrival, the service remained impeccable, and the quality of the sushi was unparalleled. It's an absolute must-visit for any sushi lover in NYC.

A shop that appeared in Billions, which I watched on Netflix. I was left to Mr. Nakazawa. The sushi is small and easy to eat, and the customer service is attentive. The egg at the end was almost like castella and was delicious. It seems that the counter is quickly filled with reservations. I made a reservation using an app called RESY.
