I still think Nakazawa is one of the best omakase in the city without breaking the bank. We sat at the sushi counter, its 21 pieces with the ability to add on additional pieces. Food was excellent, service was super attentive, staff was friendly/polite, and the chefs were engaging. I would def recommend checking out the restaurant.
Sushi Nakazawa has been on my list for a while, so I was glad to finally check it out last weekend. It’s definitely larger and less intimate than many of the other omakase spots I’ve been to in the city, but the service and quality more than make up for that. The meal was perfectly paced and never felt rushed. Every piece of sushi was incredibly fresh and exquisitely prepared. You can tell they know exactly what they’re doing. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but overall I’d say it was worth it.
An unreal experience from start to finish. Every course was beautifully presented, impeccably fresh, and perfectly balanced in flavor. The fish melted in your mouth, and the attention to detail was evident in every bite.
The intimate counter setting elevated the experience, allowing you to appreciate the precision and artistry behind each dish. Service was warm, attentive, and seamlessly paced, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.
Everything was simply delicious. A standout omakase in New York and absolutely worth returning to.
Had an incredible 2-hour multi-course dinner at the one-Michelin-starred Sushi Nakazawa. The wine and sake pairing, which changed with every dish, was absolutely perfect. I felt so proud to see both the manager and head chef are Korean! What impressed me the most was their attention to detail—they noticed I’m left-handed and swapped the positions of my glass and chopsticks. Truly top-tier service."

This was a pretty good omakase experience, but not necessarily incredible. The sushi tasted excellent, and having 20 pieces was ideal. The selection and presentation, though, was a bit uninspired and seemed to just check the boxes of what you expect at omakase.
The atmosphere was the weakest point. The lights were bright, white walls, grey carpets, and black tables gave a monochromatic look, and even the counter was all white. Most other omakase places keep low warm lighting with spotlights for the food, natural colors and earth tones like bamboo for the counter, furniture, and walls. Being the *complete* opposite was really jarring.
If you're only looking for good sushi, this is a good choice. But I'm not likely to come back to this restaurant.
