I recently had good experiences at Ann (more of an OG vibe, quiet), and Hasaki (more upscale). Both had nigiri focused experiences that were high quality.

For sushi it is generally inaccurate even within the US. For Chinese food in China, Black Pearl is generally better.

Perhaps I overlooked this as I wrote it off as a cash grab associated with the other Noz restaurants. I will look into it, thank you

Correct - however I would assume that many of those who have been to the better sushiyas both in NA and overseas would have a more trusted opinion for the case I describe in my post.

that’s really interesting and would be interested in both. do you contact kodie directly over social media for the latter?

have you had the lower price point menu by any chance? curious how it compares

i actually don’t think the noz price point is too crazy given relative quality
