Insane omakasi experience. Everything was so fresh, flavorful and unique. The portion size actually got me full which is different for omakase. The dessert was also phenomenal and better than any other omakase ive been to. Scallops, salmon, yellowtail were all the favorites. Service was awesome, they love food and make everyone feel at home. Ambiance is super chill, manager makes everyone feel comfortable! Come try this place!!

TLDR: such a good (filling) meal for a great deal. Necessary in the neighborhood, and a must visit if you love good sushi + Asian food. SETTING: smaller sushi bar with 12 seats in a nicely decorated space. I appreciated that it's not too tight so you're not sitting on top of each other. We came for dinner at 8pm on a Wednesday night. The ambiance is chill and calm, perfect for any kind of dinner whether a celebration or a casual weeknight meal. FOOD: for the first time after omakase, we left FULL. This isn't your traditional omakase but instead comes with different types of food including some noodles in an uni sauce that was amazing, and chawanmushi which was perfectly cooked and delicious. The sushi is also fresh and good quality topped with unique pairings like Vietnamese chimichuri SERVICE: the service was excellent. The head chef is very nice and engaging, and happy to talk about the food. VERDICT: I think this is a great addition to the neighborhood and not so prohibitively expensive you can't become a regular. We will be back!

Nozomi is new in Williamsburg and definitely worth trying if you're looking for a unique dining experience and enjoy Japanese with a twist. I found the 12 courses to be perfectly paced, with some real stand outs. The dishes that weren't my favorite were still creative and I appreciated the presentation. I can tell the chef cares a lot about the quality of the food he's presenting and also the experience his diners' have. I can definitely say this was the first time I've had a piece of sushi with foie gras or a "burger" with such high quality meat. The yuzu cheesecake was perfect - the citrus cutting what often tends to be one note and heavy (for me cheesecake is usually worth a bite or two but this one I finished in its entirety). The interior is also quite nice and the seats comfortable, which matters when you're meant to enjoy a meal that runs about 1h45m. The chef and server were friendly, and I'm rooting for them to succeed! The only reason I reserve a star is because I think there's still some improvements that could be made. This is still an excellent meal and for the price point/what you get for it, I would absolutely return. I'm curious to see where this chef can go and how the menu can continue to evolve through the seasons.

The food is very high quality and the portion is just enough. Chef Max did explain at every dish/course what it is, and how the whole dish came together. The place is small, with about 15 seats. This gives it a more intimate vibe, if that's what you are going for. After the 12 course tasting menu, we also got the option to add on some sushi's, hand roll or repeat any of the previous course.

Came here for the omakase and was seriously impressed. Pros: * Excellent quality fish, including dry-aged seafood (think dry-aged steak but seafood) * The noodle entrée was outstanding -- rich, balanced, and memorable * Dessert was a light, elegant cake that ended the meal on a high note Service: The staff explained every course in detail and gave thoughtful sake and drink recommendations that matched the sushi perfectly. This is the kind of omakase where you can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the experience. Highly recommended for sushi lovers.

This spot has quickly become one of my favorite hangouts with my besties! The food? Absolutely delicious. The drinks? Super unique and so good. Bonus points for the chef and servers being total eye candy (just saying ), and the owner is incredibly nice and welcoming. The whole place has such a great vibe--relaxed, fun, and perfect for a night out. Highly recommend--can't wait to come back!

Nozomi is a true Williamsburg gem. The 12-course omakase is flawless -- from the two delicate appetizers to the seven pieces of fresh, perfectly seasoned sushi, a crisp hand roll, a chef's signature main, and the most beautiful handcrafted dessert.

As a tourist from the Midwest, I want to first start with the decor. The absolute homage to the…read more1920s is beautifully reflected in the decor. The tile on the floor to the sconces hanging from the walls. The bar is a beautiful scene for a backdrop for photos, but more importantly than any of that is the service provided. We specifically want to mention included Daniel. Daniel was the most hospitable, the most gracious and absolutely the most accommodating staff we have encountered in our trip to New York so far. Daniel made excellent choices and actually helped to custom craft drinks to our particular taste. In addition Daniel provided excellent recommendations for heavy snacking plate sharing and enjoying the overall experience.

There's no comparison to my favorite restaurant Jerk and Jambalaya in Rehoboth Beach . The restaurant and Sintelle Taylor are excellent, excellent, excellent and did I say excellent. The food speaks for itself. The oxtails, the Mac and cheese, the greens the corn bread. Yes honey I will travel for great food. Listen up y'all restaurants, I will no longer be mistreated by bad and then asked for a tip. Jerk Jambalaya I support you and thank you for all you do. The standard has been raised . God bless you and your restaurant and team. Beautiful restaurant. Tell them Ms. Monique sent you.
