I finally tried the omakase menu. It was very extensive with a lot of different flavours. Maybe too many flavours for one evening. It was good but not extraordinary. The service for the omakase is long, about 2h. The 13-dish menu comes with unlimited sake (Masumi Shiro white, Yukiotoko Junmai, Ippaku Suisei tokubetsu junmai, Dewa no Yuki kimoto junmai). It was a good experience; however, I prefer choosing from their regular menu what I like to eat. I have been here many times for dinner & really like their sashimi. I recommend this restaurant but you can skip the omakase. This place is small & can get really busy so I recommend reserving ahead.

The chef is Japanese. He is truly living his IKIGAI. The food reflects the care & attention he has put into this place. A must if you want to experience a quaint authentic pretentious free Japanese restaurant.

Price of a Michelin, quality of a gas station. Sashimi was fishy (in the bad way). One piece of tuna had a long vein attached & the blood was utterly disgusting. Not to mention other annoying details like sticky bowls, hot rice (), cheap sweet sauce, etc. Okay, I've had both high-end omakase & grocery store sushi, & Nozy's food definitely sits on the lower end of the spectrum. I can only say that I'm glad that I did not have the omakase here, because it's ridiculous that a place like this dare to offer people omakase. Maybe they hire chefs from other places just to survive their Saturday nights, haha. I rarely leave reviews because most places have ratings that are justified, or at least informative, in one way or another. But the reviews for this place are very misleading. In summary, if you're a sashimi fan, avoid this place.

Great food here, you never run out of options. A lot of rarities you can't get in other restaurants. My first time trying uni was here. They introduce new menu items & specialties often. Also I noticed your website seemed to be hacked? Compromised? It leads to a weird scammy page about winning stuff or the lottery, it wasn't like that before, I hope you can get it fixed. Also noticed the opening hours changed drastically, is there a reason it's only on Mondays now?

I recently dined at Nozy restaurant & had their fresh lobster & sashimi. Lobster was perfectly cooked, tender, & flavorful, with a natural sweetness. The presentation was elegant, & the service was excellent. The sashimi is so fresh & tasty. I highly recommend Nozy for an outstanding lobster experience. Truly a seafood lover's delight!
