Upon entering the restaurant, guests are transported by the Sukiya-style wooden interior, which was assembled using more than a dozen types of cedar. The centerpiece of our first dining room is our 8-seat, 200-year-old hinoki wood sushi bar and traditional ice chest, where Chef Noz refrigerates the evening's neta selections. Our second dining room features a sushi bar made from tamo ash wood, which accommodates an additional 6 guests.

Sushi Noz is incredible. One of the most amazing experiences I have had in NYC. It was my birthday and they added extra little touches to make it special for me. The food is divine, the vibes are immaculate and the service is unmatched. Highly, highly recommend! This restaurant should be on everyone's list.

A friendly and welcoming staff, very attentive and professional. Food/wine/beer was good and the view over the (frozen!) lake with the sun shining on it was a delight. Not cheap - but decent value for money for a special lunch with friends. Highly recommended.

Cecily comes to join a bunch of new excelent restaurants along Franklin/Greenpoint. A little pricey and nice welcoming service -slightly slow at the beginning, but very nice- it arguably serves the most refined, elegant and delicious fare in the neigborough. The menu is rather short but everything was just perfect, masterfully elaborated. Great Wine list but one regrets the lack of some good, more affordable wines. Definitely worth the experience.

Food is consistently very good (their bibimbop is a personal favorite - and the toffee pudding is incredible), service is always professional and attentive, the bar makes good drinks, and the setting is comfortable - if a bit loud (which can be good or bad depending on your audience, evening).
