Probably the best omakase I've ever had in NYC, Comparable
Probably the best omakase I've ever had in NYC, Comparable to Japanese sushi, just not the great price of Japan but still worth it for special occasions. Every piece of fish was delicately prepared and the flavors of the appetizers meshed so well together. I still think and dream of dining at Sushi Zo.
Be the first to ReplyHands down some of the most delicious sushi I've ever had.
Lovely cosy, intimate bar seating, where you can engage with the sushi chefs who are charming and personable, providing explanations for each piece. Great sake and drinks menu as well. Didn't feel rushed at all.

Best Omakase I've ever had in my life!! I won't spoil the experience with all my photos and thoughts, just trust me, you will not be disappointed. The attention to detail in everything is truly special. Thank you sushi zo fam
Be the first to ReplyHad an excellent dining experience from start to finish.
Loved sitting at the sushi bar (seats 10 people), seeing the chef prepare the food. I've done several omakase style meals and I was so impressed with how many of the pieces I loved. We also did the sake pairing, which I recommend if you like sake. The chef (Hiro) was great--entertaining but not infringing on an intimate dining experience. Def recommend as a great place for a date night. It's definitely on the $$$ side, but it was a great experience and would definitely return. I even loved the music they played overhead.
Be the first to ReplyGood sushi, but definitely not amazing.
About 50 percent of the courses were some sort of mackerel, and tasted similar to each other. We were often served the next piece before we had eaten the prior one, so it all felt a bit rushed and out of balance.All in all enjoyable, but compared to other top notch sushi places too pricey and plain for the overall culinary experience.
Be the first to ReplyI have experienced a few high end Omakase places before and
I have experienced a few high end Omakase places before and each one has been a great experience, but I truly think the Omakase at Sushi Zo has been my favorite so far. The quality of the fish and rice have to be top notch for what you pay at a high end Omakase place and they definitely don't miss here but what they do to go above and beyond is the flavors they are able to incorporate with every piece. The accoutrements to each piece just takes the experience to another level and adds to the bite each time whether it is citrus or heat, it's more than just a piece of fish.The service is great and the fish is fantastic, but I think the depth of flavors you get here makes it well worth a visit which is something you don't really say when describing Omakase

The best! Our chef was amazing and so funny, the food was above and beyond, everything about this place was perfect! A bit pricey but it was worth every penny. Just booked sushi zo hanare and I'm extremely excited for the midtown location as well :)
Be the first to ReplyA quiet place in a busy area.
Sushi Zo transfers you into a world of Zen away from the bustling concrete jungle streets of NYC. Executive chef Kurosawa is an absolute delight to be served by and the overall experience is high class and what you would expect from a professional Omakase.If memory serves me right, there are around 18 courses you would end up having. As a pro tip, you definitely want to be on time as I think you might get an extra one! In our experience, we were graced with three kinds of tuna, four kinds of snapper, Uni (short and long spine variants), shrimp with roe, torched barracuda, yellow tail, a hand-roll and more.A great place for a nice small celebration (they will have cake for birthdays!), intimate date nights or just a break away from the busy world we live in!
Be the first to ReplyHappened to snag the last two spots for their opening
Happened to snag the last two spots for their opening seating a couple nights ago and am so glad we did! The food was fantastic and the service was really great. The setting is very intimate with only about a dozen seats available. Since it is omakase, the only menu offered to you is their drink menu. I'm not a drinker so cannot comment on their options, but a couple next to us did order a bottle which they shared with the chef throughout the meal. Every morsel served was truly a delight. Several pieces felt like that scene in Ratatouille where he eats a strawberry and some cheese and fireworks go off behind him as the flavors meld together. Their sushi rice was also exceptional and the ratio of fish to rice was really perfect. The chef was very fun and took the time to banter with guests and get to know each group. He was smiley and friendly and just a lovely host. Our omakase experience ended up being around 15 pieces with a hand roll at the end to top off our savory fare and a matcha mousse to finish off our meal. The mousse was a little bit thick and sweet for my liking, but still exceptionally good!
Be the first to ReplyThe omakase experience had delicious entrees that were
The omakase experience had delicious entrees that were fresh and was on the lighter side. Portion size was small.My experience felt rushed. My experience lasted 45 minutes. Once I consumed a dish, the waitress immediately replaced it with the next item on the menu. (Referring to previous omakase experiences there usually is a minor delay between course items. One of the highlights of indoor dining is being able to enjoy the restaurants ambiance and setting). I always try and read the room to determine if there is an urgency for quick turnover per table, otherwise I follow the standard 90 minute maximum duration. Our reservation was on a week day, and was booked 2 weeks in advanced, so unsure why our experience was so short. The interior ambiance was simple, and clean. The restaurant is well maintained and has a nice presentation.Sushi Zo has been the most expensive omakase experience I been to so far. I expected a stronger impression, but unfortunately I do not feel Sushi Zo was quite there. Although the omakase items were great, I do not think its significantly better compared to competitors to justify its higher price.
Be the first to ReplyBeautiful presentation but this omakase experience fell
Beautiful presentation but this omakase experience fell short to that of Hirohisa for a few reasons: service felt very rushed, the waitress immediately replaced our empty plates with the next course as if they were trying to usher us along our meal for the next customers. The food was also not that filling as Sushi Zo focused more on fish while Hirohisa had more diversity/range in offerings as well as volume. For the price of $250pp (compared to Hirohisa's $180pp), I may have came in with higher expectations
Be the first to ReplySushi Zo is in the category of amazing omakases, no doubt.
It is still pricey for what you get, but it's definitely better than a Ginza, which has entered stratospheric pricing, for a quantity that doesn't quite match what they are charging.Sushi Zo is still at a reasonable price, and the quality of fish and attention to how all the food is made is great. Not only are the fish pieces very diverse, but the techniques to bring out the best of each flavor is highly paid attention to. For example, there is a bluefin tuna piece that needs around 15 minutes of marinating (btw be sure to ask for that piece early if you want another). One of my favorite pieces was a golden eye snapper, that had a bit of salt and soy sauce, and then was charred with a torch. Adding long lasting smokey and caramelized flavor into a fatty fish is pure bliss. In addition, pieces like yuzu pepper and amberjack make for an intense and long lasting flavor. That level of prep, experimentation to get there, and amount of quality in that piece makes every piece worth scrutinizing and spending time to thinking about while you chew and taste all the delicious flavors.There is one appetizer, which is a set of 3 different kinds of fish sashimi, 2 pieces each. After that, it's pretty much all nigiri. So if you're into nigiri heavy omakases, this is definitely an experience for you. I think all-in-all, there were around 18 courses, including dessert and the appetizer.Dessert is simple, but decadent and extremely satisfying. It's a matcha mousse that's not too sweet, but bold flavors, and a red bean with a gold flake. It's a dessert that many omakase places have, but so far this is my favorite rendition.One interesting part of my experience was that the two chefs serving that night had decent English, meaning conversation was pretty fluent. There are omakase places I've been where I feel like I was just unable to really talk to the chef either because of personality, or the chef just couldn't communicate what he wanted to say. I learned quite a bit about their process, sourcing fish, and even what materials they use for certain parts of their food. Very cool.
Be the first to ReplyLOVE THIS CHEF.
love this sushi. my wife and I are sushi purists and this unassuming place delivers every time. the detail applied to each and every piece is worthy of it's own 5 stars.
Be the first to ReplyProbably the best fish I've eaten in NYC, arguably my life.
The environment is intimate, cool music and a great chef who gives you a real taste of Japan. MUST TRY if you love omakase.
Be the first to ReplyWent here for our anniversary a while ago, just getting
Went here for our anniversary a while ago, just getting around to posting this review. Sushi is very good. It is definitely fresh and high quality fish. It is a great omakase experience for sushi purists. If you are into toppings, etc on your sushi, not quite the place for you. There are only 8 seats, so quite an intimate experience. Uni was particularly good as was the tuna... both just melted in your mouth. The rice was perfect here! Mildly acidic and wasn't falling all over the place or coming apart. Service was very on point. I think it was around 200 pp when we went here, but looks like it's increased since the pandemic. Not somewhere I'd go frequently due to the high cost, but a great place for a special occasion.
Be the first to ReplyIt's been a minute since I've done a long form review.
.. and even longer since I've sat down for an omakase (thanks Rona...)Sushi Zo is part of a larger group of high-quality omakase restaurants globally, and their detail to elevated experiences shows... the restaurant is immaculate and set up in a COVID safe way. You could be in any fine dining setting and feel the consistent and thought put into the service and layout of the restaurant.So here's where things get broken down:1. Chef Hiro does an excellent job with his presentation. Everything looks beautifully done. 2. I have a hot take about omakase... some feel like it should be solely focused on the freshness of the fish and the quality of the basic ingredients coming together. I, on the other hand, want to enjoy omakase as part of the chef' creativity and imagination. Sushi Zo is really focused on the former. It's basics done well with some of the best ingredients but nothing that blew me out of the water.3. The price tag for Sushi Zo is pretty hefty. I honestly don't think that I would come back knowing that there are other options that are just as good in the city.4. Staff is wonderful... they are attentive. Sushi Zo is a good spot to go to if you want to try a more traditional omakase experience. You do get a good experience for what you pay for... but I'm not sure if it's worth its price tag more than once.

Delicious sushi, very fresh, very nice atmosphere with a very kind chef who loves his art and is very happy to make the clients discover good food. Sushis are served one by one by the chef who prepares it in front of you.Please make sure to book in advance and enjoy!
Be the first to ReplyWith all the omakase options in NYC, it could be difficult
With all the omakase options in NYC, it could be difficult to pick the right one, but Sushi Zo is a solid choice! High quality cuts of fish and very fresh ingredient. Chef Kurosawa was fun & interactive, often repeating his catch phrase "thank you for coming." The courses are well sequenced with sashimi as a starter followed by several sushi pieces, small bites in between, additional sushi pieces, a hand roll and lastly dessert. Each course was prepared with such precision... it was like watching art in the making! I didn't leave overly full and was able to enjoy every portion of the meal.. in fact, I probably could have indulged a few more pieces of sushi. Pricey but very well done, authentic omakase. Highly recommend and would definitely be back!

4.75/5Sushi Zo delivers a consistent experience that prioritizes flavor, texture, and simplicity. Chef Hiro is a load of fun and in tune with his craft and the customer experience.Last night was my second visit to Sushi Zo with my colleagues. Sushi Zo is the favorite sushiya of my boss, so he makes it a priority when we go out for sushi. Chef Hiro's product is high quality, varied, and delicious with little room for disappointment.Highlights for the evening, for me, included barracuda, stone snapper, sanma, fluke with yuzu, uni/ikura/caviar rice, bafun uni sushi, and the torotaku handroll. The rice was sufficiently warm and well tended to. Chef Hiro was welcoming and lively; he cracked jokes through the evening and kept the guests engaged. The atmosphere was less serious than other high end sushiya - I think this is a good thing. It's a good restaurant for a group.The menu focuses on nigiri and adds one sashimi course, an uni/ikura small plate, a handroll, and dessert. Unfortunately, there was no tamago or eel. The disappointing aspect of the restaurant, which keeps me from going as often as I would like, is the price. Sushi Zo has raised prices multiple times in the past few years and now sits at $250. The challenge with this price is that Zo doesn't offer anything that the other sushi restaurants don't at this level. With Sushi Ikumi at $180, Noz (Ash Room) at $225, and Sushi Ginza Onodera (Lunch) at $150 it becomes difficult to recommend Zo over them in context.That being said, the food is delicious and plays to my preferences. It's a restaurant I want to visit and show friends. Since price is the only negative factor, I better just save up.
Be the first to ReplyAwesome experience.
Party of seven. Omakase plus 3 bottles. Service is impeccable, always attentive and helpful, especially with sake recommendations. In terms of the food, there are the obvious crowd pleasers with uni and toro. What stood out were the more uncommon cuts (including shirako, mackerels, perch and tilefish), as well as some composed bites that would be bland at lesser establishments. Definitely more nuanced and restrained than other places that pile on the garnishes (however luxurious), but there are still some pleasant surprises.

THE SUSHI WILL RUIN YOU FOR OTHER RESTAURANTS.This was the Greenwich Village location in NYC. You need to reserve at least a week or two in advance. This is not a "turn tables" type restaurant and there are no "walk ins". Customers reserve 'seatings" according to specified times. The place is tiny. Only ten people can sit at the Sushi Bar (This is the place to be) however there are two, yes, just two tables and one couple was seated behind us. My Wife and I had reservations two weeks in advance for a 6PM seating, however, we had to change to a later, 8:30 seating with only four days notice, and we were surprised to be able to. We arrived in the Village and wound our way through the noisy streets to the tiny place. The door was locked and we knocked on the door. The hostess popped her head out and said they would open in 5 minutes, however just moments later she let us and another couple in. We were amazed how quiet it was inside compared to the noisy ruckus of NYU college students and bars outside. You could hear a pin drop.We were seated at the sushi bar immediately. We ordered our drinks and we could see two Japanese Sushi chefs, skillfully slicing and trimming the various sorts of fish into slices. One older one on the other side of the bar, and our chef a slightly younger one who enjoyed mugging for our photos and had great sense of humor. The sushi bar was soon filled with four couples, and another that arrived a half hour late! Sin of sins!.The sushi experience here is Omakase. Not the chef's choice Omakase platter you get at most sushi restaurants. This is the REAL Japanese Omakase. This means your sushi is prepared carefully and skillfully in front of you and served ONE AT A TIME! Just watching these master sushi chef's make the sushi in front of you is a treat and a spectacle in itself. their hands seem to glide and dance in a fluid motion almost like a musical conductor. So graceful and fascinating, even mesmerizing to watch!There is no rush here. You are given ample time to savor and contemplate each delectable sushi masterpiece before the next one is prepared and served. The entire experience was fantasia and worth every penny of the $$$$ you must pay to secure a place at one of the seatings.I wholeheartedly recommend Sushi Zo. The sushi is amazing. The chefs are a pleasure to watch. The service is perfect. And is an experience you will never forget. And for those reasons, I am awarding 5 stars. I would award 6 if I could.If you read THIS far you must have enjoyed my review. So please say so, by clicking one or more of those little Useful Funny or Cool buttons.

I've probably been to 20+ Omakases and this is #1. Tons of food, all superior quality and fresh, and cool vibe of a small elite few. Chef was respectful and jovial. Loved the miso soup and dessert surprises. Best were the first course, fluke, white fish, and salmon.
