Sushi Nakazawa

"If you’ve been disappointed with your sushi outings lately and need a sure thing, book a table at Sushi Nakazawa. You might have heard about this West Village spot because the head chef was featured in Jiro Dreams of Sushi. The mostly-black-and-white space feels modern, and if you sit at one of the counters, you’ll get around 20 courses of flawlessly-prepared sushi for $190. (You can get the same omakase in the dining room for $30 less.) This place is pricey, but you get what you pay for." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah

"When Sushi Nakazawa opened in 2013, $150 still felt like an intimidating price tag for an omakase. Now, there are a ton of spots where you can easily spend $300 or more. This puts us in the awkward position of having to tell you that—at $190 for 20 courses—Sushi Nakazawa is now actually a pretty good deal. Don’t tell anyone we said that, but do come here for your next special occasion. The gallery-like black-and-white space is starting to feel a bit dated, but the fine-dining-style service (servers in suits, wine pairings, etc.) is still excellent, and the simply dressed nigiri is perfect. " - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman

"This Michelin-starred restaurant remains one of the most sought-after omakase experiences in city, serving impeccable pieces of hokkaido cherry salmon uni and handrolls of fatty tuna." - Elise Taylor

"Sushi Nakazawa opened its second location at the Trump International Hotel in 2018, which has since been converted into a Waldorf Astoria." - Cathy Chaplin

"A top-tier sushi restaurant where master chef Daisuke Nakazawa prepares over 20 beautifully composed pieces of nigiri in a unique black-and-white setting." - The MICHELIN Guide
