Reviews
The food was absolutely delicious. We went to the private room for four people, and it was excellent.
We will definitely come back.
Our meal started with a perfectly cured Kohada (gizzard shad) and ended with a pillowy, custard-like Tamago (egg omelette), both considered traditional measures of a chef’s skill and yet conspicuously absent from so many so-called omakase restaurants in the city. I actually went back a second time almost immediately because of how impressed I was, and both Chef Matsu and Sous Chef Kenta separately delivered an incredible meal of highlight-after-highlight, including delicious cuts of Kasugo (young sea bream) and Aori Ika (bigfin reef squid), and in Chef Matsu’s case a soft shell crab bouillabaisse that was probably the most delicious otsumami I’ve ever had. Subtle details, such as the delicate roasting of the seaweed over charcoal (Jiro-style, one might say), are where the magic lies.
The meal does have some limitations, namely the absence of any significant amount of bluefin tuna (I received only a single piece of chutoro over the course of two meals, and wasn’t particularly blown away) and a high charge of $25 per piece for extra orders. That being said, if you’re looking for a traditional Edomae-style establishment in a serene environment that won’t serve you a blowtorched wagyu-uni-caviar monstrosity or insultingly half-sized nigiri pieces, as seems to be increasingly the norm these days, you can stop searching as I don’t think you’ll find much better and certainly not for under $200. Thank you Noz 17 for keeping the art alive and (relatively) accessible. I look forward to hopefully returning soon!
Everything was absolutely delicious, the yellowtail was my favorite for the night. It had a hint of that fattiness you get from chu toro surprisingly.
Best sushi I’ve had in many years although I don’t do this very often. The finesse and execution here reminded me of 15 East back in the day… Which was the first time that I thought sushi actually tasted good. Before then I never really liked it. Have to say that Noz 17 edges them out just by a bit!
Food 10/10
I am a fan of everything Noz. We All Gotta Eat Group does it again with this superb omakase experience. It’s a little more experimental, and more varied in piece selection, but a stellar meal nonetheless. Excellent quality of fish of course, but had a greater number of unique dishes and ingredients. Felt like there were fewer nigiri compared to Sushi Noz. I love the way Chef Matsuzaki plays with different textures and combinations of ingredients.
I am actually obsessed with the rice. It was warmer than other omakases I’ve been to, and the rice itself was seasoned with the perfect amount of vinegar, slightly sweet, and a perfect complement to the fish. The rice size itself was also not too big, so I was able to eat all 23 pieces. Again, 23 pieces is insane and such a great way to explore the diverse ingredients. I could eat omakase every day for the rest of my life.
Omakase list:
Japanese winter potato
Chutoro: aged one week
Yellowtail
Stewed octopus
Baby sea bream
Steamed egg and male snow crab
Baby bluefin tuna
Monkfish liver, shirako, caviar: a massive piece I attempted to stuff all in my mouth, and it melted immediately
Needlefish: surprisingly might be my favorite, loved the ginger flavor
Hokkaido uni: classic favorite. SO SWEET
Cuttlefish
Bottarga: tastes like parmesan, done better than the Italians imo
Scallop on scallop
Whitefish
Gizzard fish with shrimp flakes
Clam:
Black codfish: seared and topped with homemade sauce
Lean bluefin tuna
Otoro: love
Homemade female snow crab with uni risotto: creamy af
Miso soup: made with the bones of the fish, SO SO rich
Tamago: best I’ve ever hard, it’s so custardy and literally when I tried to pick it up I embarrassed myself by breaking it in two. I did not want to be perceived at that moment.
Chestnut paste dessert
Umami go crazy.
Atmosphere 9/10
The interior felt more lowkey compared to Sushi Noz, potentially acclimating to the more lwokey vibes of Chelsea. I was wearing a sweater and felt a bit too hot, but other than that, everything was perfect for the meal.1
Service 9/10
Excellent hospitality. Everyone is super friendly and made me feel very comfortable. It was nice that they would say my name before asking me anything, so it felt more personal. I would say the level of service is a little less polished than Sushi Noz, but that is such a high standard anyway. Felt slightly awkward at some times, but overall very homey and very accommodating.
1. No food preferences offered at all. And if there is something you don’t eat, there’s no replacement. I know it’s omakase, but I’ve gone to dozens of refer only restaurants, 3-star Michelins and non have said no to replacements. And they don’t even care to ask about it including dietary restrictions.
2. Water was not actively refilled. Had
Hot water, but second round came room temperature water.
3. The course runs about 18-20 bites compared to about 25-27 back in the days. (2021)
4. Tasted ice in the uni, discounting the overall taste.
At almost $600 after tax and tip, it’s not worth it…any 30,000 yen (<$200usd) set in Japan would provide better value and service.
