Noz 17

Best Fancy Restaurants in NYC, According to Eater Editors | Eater NY

"In the competitive stratosphere of high-end omakases in New York, the two-Michelin-starred Noz 17 stands out from the pricey pack with its unique menu format. Rather than begin with small plates before moving on to nigiri, chef Junichi Matsuzaki switches between drinking snacks, sushi, sashimi, soups, and composed dishes seemingly at random, like an experimental musician. Highlights in addition to the sushi include a powerfully concentrated seafood soup and a fermented sea urchin that tasted like good aged cheese and pairs perfectly with beer. It’s $465 per person." - Melissa McCart

Best Sushi Restaurants in Manhattan, New York City | Eater NY

"Starting at $465 per person, the Michelin-starred Noz 17 is a sibling to Sushi Noz and serves as a Toyota Corolla-sized restaurant that seats just seven diners at a time. Chef Junichi Matsuzaki offers one of New York’s most epic and most unconventional tasting menus. Dinner might begin with a lotus root dumpling with tofu skin, followed by gizzard shad sushi: a tiny silver fish as tart as a spoonful of vinegar. Two courses later, sushi arrives again, this time in the form of yuzu-dusted sea bream." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Chef Junichi Matsuzaki steps into the spotlight at Noz 17, earning one star for a 30-course tasting menu at a seven-seat sushi counter, an experience that starts at $465 before drinks and tip." - Eater Staff

"This downtown sibling of the impressive Upper East original is elegant and inviting.The seven-seat cypress counter is the focal point of the intimate dining room, where an abundance of wood and gently calibrated lighting produce a serene setting.Chef Junichi Matsuzaki is highly skilled and talented. The omakase shows off the chef's free-wheeling style with a procession that keeps the palate stimulated. Otsumami, sashimi and nigiri all show off an impressive display of top-notch product that has been expertly treated and handled. A slice of pearlescent white cuttlefish, intricately scored so it practically melts in the mouth, accompanied by a mouth-coating demitasse of snapper bone broth, are just two of the delights presented to diners." - Michelin Inspector
