"At $480 a pop, Shion 69 Leonard Street is one of the most expensive omakases in the city. But the restaurant delivers, with skillfully prepared fish, impeccable service, and enough food to not have to get a secret second dinner at McDonald’s. What makes the two-hour meal truly outstanding is the otsumami course, with signature items like butterfish, horsehair crab salad, and tilefish. Come to this little omakase counter for a special occasion, but know that singing "Happy Birthday" here would be akin to doing TikTok dances in a museum. This meal demands your presence like it’s the cult leader of a silent meditation retreat." - bryan kim, kenny yang, hillary reinsberg
