NYC sushi restaurant slammed for giving women \u201csmaller portions\u201d than men TikTok: luiscarloszaraA Michelin-star sushi restaurant in New York City is facing nationwide backlash after a patron claimed the only woman in their party was told she\u2019d be getting \u201csmaller portions\u201d than the men she was dining with. TikTok user Luis Carlos Zara is a foodie extraordinaire who shares his fine dining experiences on social media to the tune of tens of thousands of views. However, one of his videos is taking TikTok by storm after he dined at Sushi Noz in New York City, saying his experience at the luxury establishment was far from ideal. While Zara has been to this particular spot a handful of times before, the meal he had after the restaurant got its second Michelin star soured his mood quite a bit. NYC sushi restaurant slammed for giving women smaller portions Zara documented his experience at Sushi Noz in a video that\u2019s garnered over seven million views since being posted on February 2 \u2014 a spot that costs $700 per person for a meal with wine pairings. First, Zara claimed that his party\u2019s wine pairings were off, saying they didn\u2019t match each course and that the pours came out at \u201cawkward times,\u201d with no clear explanation as to why they were paired with each dish. This complaint paled in comparison to the next issue Zara had with Sushi Noz, claiming that the only woman dining in his party was specifically told she would be getting \u201csmaller portions\u201d than her male counterparts. While this is supposedly a \u201ccommon practice\u201d in some areas for \u2018omakase\u2019 \u2014 a phrase that literally means \u201cI leave the details up to you,\u201d denoting a chef-curated dinner \u2014 he says that their female guest \u201cdidn\u2019t ask\u201d for it. On top of that, the price of the meal wasn\u2019t adjusted for the smaller portions. Zara then claimed that one of the chefs even threw out one of their guest\u2019s courses after they were getting full, despite \u201cpolitely\u201d communicating with them that it would be their \u201clast piece.\u201d \u201cThe mindfulness of how we consume food and what we waste is really important, and to see food being snatched up like this and thrown in the trash was pretty shocking,\u201d Zara said. Commenters were left stunned by his tale, slamming the restaurant and applauding the TikToker\u2019s \u201cbrutal honesty.\u201d \u201cSushi isn\u2019t worth $700,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cWomen getting smaller portions is wild. Imagine paying full price for less food just because of that.\u201d \u201cSmaller portions for women when there is basically no food anyway,\u201d another remarked. \u201cThe fact he threw it in the trash shows how worthless it is,\u201d another said. \u201cI\u2019d never waste good money on overpriced Michelin-star food.\u201d Comments on the restaurant\u2019s social media pages tell tales similar to Zara\u2019s experience, with one user writing on Instagram: \u201cDid not have a great experience. Wife\u2019s portion was much smaller than mine. Will stick with Masa\u2019s.\u201d Thus far, Sushi Noz has not offered a response to Zara\u2019s viral video, leaving frustrated diners waiting for answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
