"Sushi Noz, which comes from the famed New York City omakase restaurant founded by Nozumu Abe, announced in 2022 that it was expanding to Los Angeles. Abe recently received a second Michelin star, whose zen experience former Eater New York critic Ryan Sutton called, “technically masterful.” Abe likened the dining experience, in which servers wear kimonos and the meal includes flourishes like hay-smoked bonito, to Kabuki theater. In New York City, Sushi Noz runs an astounding $495 per person before tax and drinks; gratuity is not expected which is typical of restaurants in Japan, though diners can opt to leave one." - Matthew Kang
