Like the infamous soup Nazi immortalized on "Seinfeld," Kazunori Nozawa has rules at his sushi restaurant. Known as the "sushi Nazi," Nozawa is the one and only sushi man at this small, nothing-to-look-at sushi bar, and he insists diners go by his rules. Visit for layers of perfect pink salmon with translucent seaweed noodles, heavenly mussels steeped in a rice-vinegar broth, and elaborate hand... more

Over the course of the past 2 years, Nozawa has easily surpassed Sassabone in food quality, service, decor & general vibe.

As to the citysearch review, my girlfriend and I went to Sushi Nozawa last night and were completely surprised when we walked in. First off, the second you walk in you witness a packed house that was DEAD silent. Everyone was whispering and it was extremely uncomfortable. We sat down at a table and ordered (minimum of 4 dishes per person). After about 3-5 minutes the waiter came back with a... more
