Probably the best omakase I've ever had in NYC, Comparable to Japanese sushi, just not the great price of Japan but still worth it for special occasions. Every piece of fish was delicately prepared and the flavors of the appetizers meshed so well together. I still think and dream of dining at Sushi Zo.

Lovely small little restaurant. Head chef Hiroyuki is a delight and was an excellent host for our evening. His pleasant demeanor and quick wit made the experience and food especially enjoyable. Highly recommend. You will feel full and satisfied and wishing you could remember the taste of each individual sushi as it arrived.

Excellent omakase experience. A great selection of pieces, all high quality. My personal favorites were the otoro and the fatty yellowtail.Chef is funny and engaging. I was alone as I was coming back from a business trip, but he made the experience very enjoyable.

A delicious and authentic experience in a zen-like atmosphere. Chefs are friendly and creative. The service is sharp and prompt. Must go for a celebration or a special night. They will treat you like royalty here.

Notch below Noz and Masa, but it is also 1/2 the price. Top 10 in NY , not top 5 . Extra friendly staff makes it a special place.

You must have to love sushi if you plan on dining here. It’s $299/person and omakase only. You can only dine here by making a reservation. If you cancel they will charge you the $299 per person. The sushi is flown in daily from Japan. You get your own personal sushi chef for the evening. I would suggest coming hungry. It is definitely a dining experience for taste, texture and art of the making and presentation of each sushi. With a few glasses of wine and bottled water as well as tip was about $850. It’s quite expensive but I feel that the experience and quality of the food is worth it. It’s perfect for a special occasion. It’s a small establishment. It seats 10 people. It was only my husband and I and another couple. The chef was super nice and watching him prepare the sushi for each course was a treat. The portions and food was just the right amount for me. However , my husband was full but he did eat 3 slices of Joes afterwards. Overall, a once in a lifetime dining experience. The sushi was the freshest sushi I’ve ever ate in my life.

Hands down some of the most delicious sushi I've ever had. Lovely cosy, intimate bar seating, where you can engage with the sushi chefs who are charming and personable, providing explanations for each piece. Great sake and drinks menu as well. Didn't feel rushed at all.

Went here with my boyfriend for New Year's Eve. Everything was fresh and taste authentic. The staff was great and professional. Really enjoyed everything.

Best Omakase I've ever had in my life!! I won't spoil the experience with all my photos and thoughts, just trust me, you will not be disappointed. The attention to detail in everything is truly special. Thank you sushi zo fam
Good sushi, but definitely not amazing. About 50 percent of the courses were some sort of mackerel, and tasted similar to each other. We were often served the next piece before we had eaten the prior one, so it all felt a bit rushed and out of balance. All in all enjoyable, but compared to other top notch sushi places too pricey and plain for the overall culinary experience.

Had an excellent dining experience from start to finish. Loved sitting at the sushi bar (seats 10 people), seeing the chef prepare the food. I've done several omakase style meals and I was so impressed with how many of the pieces I loved. We also did the sake pairing, which I recommend if you like sake. The chef (Hiro) was great--entertaining but not infringing on an intimate dining experience. Def recommend as a great place for a date night. It's definitely on the $$$ side, but it was a great experience and would definitely return. I even loved the music they played overhead.

Great experience. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Chef Hiro truly made our night feel special, would recommend anyone looking for quality omakase experience

I have experienced a few high end Omakase places before and each one has been a great experience, but I truly think the Omakase at Sushi Zo has been my favorite so far. The quality of the fish and rice have to be top notch for what you pay at a high end Omakase place and they definitely don't miss here but what they do to go above and beyond is the flavors they are able to incorporate with every piece. The accoutrements to each piece just takes the experience to another level and adds to the bite each time whether it is citrus or heat, it's more than just a piece of fish.The service is great and the fish is fantastic, but I think the depth of flavors you get here makes it well worth a visit which is something you don't really say when describing Omakase

Really disappointing. The sushi itself was fine (although just “fine”). The experience overall was poor. Ambience, service, energy were lackluster. You’re better off elsewhere. ?
