# Sushi Noz

A nine-seat Edo-style counter behind a courtyard door, where Nozomu Abe ages fish with the patience of a craftsman who has nothing to prove.

## About Sushi Noz

You find the entrance before you find the restaurant: a slatted wooden gate off a quiet Upper East Side block, then a short courtyard walk that does the work of clearing your head before you sit down. Inside, nine seats face a single hinoki counter where Nozomu Abe works in near silence, his knife doing most of the talking. This is Edo-style sushi — fish cured, aged, or lightly cooked before it reaches you, never simply sliced and served raw for shock value. Kohada is pressed and vinegared until its silver skin tightens like a drum; tuna arrives in three ages, each one a different argument about umami. The rice is seasoned warm, packed loose, gone in a bite. Nothing here is plated for a camera; it's plated for the eleven seconds you have before the temperature changes.

1. ★★★★☆ 4.0 Editorial sample Technically flawless, especially the aged toro progression, though the pacing between courses ran slower than I'd have liked on a Friday seating. — Mei Lin Chao · 2 May 2026 Response from Sushi Noz Thank you for the detailed note — we've adjusted Friday pacing and hope to welcome you back to see the difference.
2. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample The tamago at the end nearly moved me to say something out loud, which would have broken the silence of the room. Worth the wait for a reservation. — Daniel Reyes · 14 March 2026

### How far in advance should I book Sushi Noz?

Reservations open 28 days out and the nine-seat counter fills within hours, so plan to book the moment the window opens, especially for Friday or Saturday seatings.

### Is there a set menu, or can I order individual pieces?

The counter runs almost entirely on the omakase sequence set by chef Abe; a small number of supplemental nigiri, like the kohada, can be requested but the core menu is not customizable.
