I hate to sound like a broken record because multiple reviewers have said the same, but here we go ---- WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE.
This is not a knock on Sheepshead Bay considering I lived here for many years, but my wife and I were quite surprised to find a legitimately excellent Omakase restaurant outside of NYC in the boroughs. Considering Sheepshead Bay is overrun by inexpensive (formerly 50% off) sushi restaurants, it came as a surprise that Omakase Sushi By Hiro opened in the neighborhood. With that said ... no complaints that they did!
Onto the experience of dining here itself. Since it seemed they had endless reservations leading up to our dinner here, we figured we could arrive a bit earlier for our 6:30pm reservation on the Wednesday evening of our dinner, but to no avail. This tiny restaurant was PACKED. We requested for a table at the bar and every seat was taken. On top of it, every table behind those seats were jammed too! The first thought that came to my head was that the word was out on this restaurant for a while.
Anyhow, we came back for our reservation at the time we were slated to sit down, but we weren't seated until about 15 minutes after it. From the moment we stepped in, we weren't sure what to expect since this wasn't your usual NYC Omakase, but boy oh boy, it was quite the awesome meal worth every single penny! We went for the 15 course meal, which was $108 (and very reasonably priced), but like I said, WORTH ... EVERY ... SINGLE ... PENNY. If you can splurge a little, I highly recommend going all out to try everything.
I can't comment on every piece of sushi because I would just say they all were amazingly fresh and delicious, but the experience put it over the top. The chefs were chatty and made sure to interact with us throughout the meal. Despite the fact that it was extremely loud inside, courtesy of a rambunctious party of 20 middle-age people behind us yelling like drunk teenagers, the chefs did their best to describe to us each piece of sushi we were being served. And it was very, very busy due to the large party also ordering from the Omakase menu, so the 2 chefs were working on double time, but they were pleasant throughout and in no way seemed flustered.
We loved every second we were inside. Of course, we wish the large party was a bit quieter and we would guess on most evenings it wouldn't be that loud inside, but, nevertheless, we had a fantastic time celebrating our wedding anniversary and wouldn't change a thing about the experience or food.
