In a recent post about premium delivery sushi, I wrote: “…in almost every other circumstance, I can enthusiastically recommend Sushi 35 West,” and “Sushi 35 West is outstanding with respect to its consistency, quality, deliverability, and QPR. 3.5/4 stars.”
You might wonder: “what are those circumstances in which Sushi 35 West isn’t the most apposite choice?”
“Is there any 4/4 star delivery sushi in NYC?”
To answer in reverse order:
Yes.
And, when you cannot settle for anything less than the best, the answer can only be: Sushi Noz.
The best, unfortunately, comes at a cost: $315 for the “Noz Box” and $68 for the “Sushi Omakase Box.”
But it really is the apex of delivery sushi in this town: the fish, the rice, the presentation, the homemade soy sauce all combine to offer an aesthetic and overall sensorial experience that should not be accessible via phone in an hour or less.
It is rare that pictures honestly or sufficiently convey how food tastes, but I assure you that these boxes are indeed as good as they look; and they look incredible.
We are living in the greatest city in the world at the same time (or maybe just past, considering recent events) of maximum globalization and these are its fruits.
Is it expensive? Yes. Is it ridiculous? Maybe. Is it profligate? No.
Sometimes you need a superlative experience.
It’s your anniversary and you want to stay in, smoke a joint, watch Netflix and eat really good raw fish and rice.
Or you just got a promotion.
Or it’s Tuesday and life has got you down.
I cannot tell you when you’ll need a superlative experience, but what I can tell you is that when you do—in that perhaps singular circumstance—I can recommend, without hesitation, Sushi Noz.
4 Stars.
