Sushi Noz, Upper East Side

The comments cited below are a sample of the full tally across 37 threads.
What people say, in short
Sushi Noz draws strong high-end omakase recommendations for both the original Upper East Side counter and Noz 17, though the meals and experiences differ between locations. One diner compares the original counter favorably with sushi they have eaten in Japan; another likes it less than the other omakase restaurants they tried. Cost is the recurring reservation, with dissenters questioning whether the experience warrants the premium. Praise for the separate Noz Market concept is not a review of these counters.
