Shiki Omakase

What an amazing surprise ! We were originally going for another place but stepped upon this one and gave it a try. Food wise : the menu was really good. A mix of most of Japanese taste, all surprising and well balanced together. The menu on its own might not be enough tho. Price wise : I feel like it’s fair according to NYC standards and the quality served. But still expensive from a foreign visitor. Ambiance : it’s tiny and cozy. You feel like in a very authentic Japanese sushi place and we loved it. You should try it !

Extremely friendly, kind and helpful staff. Came without a reservation and seated immediately. Got the 17 pieces, fall special and winter special and the yuzu sake. Enjoyed everything that I had. All of the seafood was fresh and clean. The music was lovely and added to the atmosphere. The timing you get the rolls and the explanations from the chef gave a amazing vibe. Everything was so good I don't know what tops are, but the add on I would suggest is the winter special that piece was mind blowing. 10/10

This is the first time i tried Omakase Sushi set menu and i have to say this was one of the BEST sushi eating experiences of my life! The quality the precision was mind blowing. Highly trained chef’s prepare the best, light , absolutely delicious sushi’s while explaining you everything they serve you. They also change the ingredients if you are allergic to anything or don’t want that particular ingredient in your sushi. It was so simple no nonsense pure good food and delicious, authentic sushi experience of my life. I highly recommend this place NYC.

I called and asked if I can come in at 2:30 while they close at 3:00pm because I was nearby. They were welcoming and told me to come in! The pieces were fresh and although they started off really simple, they began to get more creative as the omakase went on. The staff was extremely warm and although I rushed them through the seating, their hospitality didn’t decline. They were fun and you can really tell how much they love providing their customers with a great experience. Chef asked me if I liked the rice + wasabi level or if it needed adjusting, which I found to be really nice because it’s not typically asked. It was great the way chef was serving. A few notes about some pieces: Otoro caviar piece was extremely melt in your mouth goodness. The quality exceeds the price point - just wow! Albacore tuna with chef-made crispy garlic… *chefs kiss*. I’m not usually a fan of albacore tuna but it was torched and topped with the crispy garlic which made it really fun and texturized. The Hokkaido Uni: I appreciated that there wasn’t an overwhelmingly big chunk of rice because I like to get the flavor and texture of the uni! It was one of top 5 sweetest uni’s from Hokkaido I have had. I also added 3 specials to my seating. Their presentation was extremely 5-star restaurant like. The fried seaweed with Hokkaido scallop, otoro, uni and caviar was AMAZING. I’ll be craving that piece. I can confidently say that this experience exceeded my expectations. You’re getting a big bang for your buck here. I can’t wait to join them for their 17 course seating. Price: I got the 12-course omakase + 3 specials and it was $125.

Absolutely incredible and easily one of the best spots for high-quality, but not break-the-bank expensive sushi in NYC. Shiki Omakase has been on my bucket list since they first took the internet by storm with their $65 12-course omakase, so I was ecstatic when I finally managed to snag a reservation. While $65 for 12 pieces of sushi certainly sounds expensive -- and it is -- most omakase sets can easily cost upwards of $150 to $200. Despite their low (ish) cost, Shiki manages to deliver an outstanding set of sushi with top-tier service. The fish was super fresh, and it was really fun to be able to watch the chefs prepare the sushi right in front of you. Their menu rotates seasonally and depending on what's available at the markets that day, but when we visited, we were treated to their oysters, madai, hamachi, salmon, akamizuki, hotate, kanpachi, toro and caviar, uni and truffle, albacore tuna, A5 wagyu with uni, and unagi. Every single bite was phenomenal, with the perfect ratio of fish to rice, and with a great balance of other toppings, sauces, and flavors to create a fun experience of different textures and flavors with each bite. A few of my favorite pieces included the uni with truffle -- it was so rich and creamy, and it had a great earthiness and umami flavor from the truffle; it can be tough to balance two such strong flavors together, but they did an amazing job -- and albacore tuna with chili crisp. They're also fully willing to accommodate dietary restrictions; I don't eat meat, so they substituted my A5 wagyu piece with a toro and uni nigiri. The combination was incredibly decadent -- the toro was rich and fatty, and served the role of the wagyu perfectly. It paired wonderfully with the remarkably creamy uni, which was super fresh and didn't have any of the dreaded fishiness that uni so often does. In an effort to seat as many people as possible in this popular, but incredibly small, space, tables are limited to just one hour. The meals are pretty efficient, but they still do a good job of pacing the pieces so that you can still fully enjoy each bite without feeling rushed. The main thing lacking in this experience vs. a traditional omakase is that you aren't able to have a full conversation with the chef. It's still a pretty intimate experience, with only around 10-15 people allowed in the restaurant per slot, but the best part of most omakase is that you have one chef assigned to you and maybe one other party, so they're able to have a full conversation with you throughout the meal, answering questions, bantering, and really showcasing their craft. I absolutely love Shiki as a slightly more accessible option for omakase, and they've quickly become one of my favorite special occasion / treat destinations. However, if you want the true omakase experience, it might not be the right place for you.

Great omakase for a decent price. Each piece was delicious and the special items you can order at the end was really good. Winter special was probably the best bite I've had all night

I recently dined at Shiki for their $65 omakase menu. The atmosphere was inviting, and the presentation of each dish was visually stunning. The selection of fish was ok, and the flavors were mostly delightful. However, I did find that the rice in a few pieces was not fully cooked, which was disappointing for an omakase experience. The service was attentive and friendly, which added to the overall positive experience. While there's room for improvement with the rice, Shiki still offers a good sushi experience with unbeatable price.

From NY to Osaka, this is some of the best sushi I have had in my experience. Pure delight. Not a bottle of mayonnaise in sight! IYKYK. Well worth it and I will come again.

I tried Shiki Omakase for the first time and had a fantastic experience! The restaurant ambiance was intimate and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a special evening. The chefs who served my friends and I were incredibly friendly, engaging, and polite, adding a personal touch to the experience. My group opted for the 12-course omakase priced at $65, and I was thoroughly impressed. The quality of the fish was impeccable, and for the price point, it truly doesn't get any better. This was also the first time I tried uni and actually enjoyed it. At other places, it's often too fishy or salty for my taste, but here, it was just right. My favorite dish of the evening was the Toro and caviar. I'll definitely be coming back for another round of this amazing omakase experience!

One of my favorite sushi place! I get the regular and then add on my favorite specials! I even celebrated my birthday here with my sister! Their sushi is so well thought out especially the special ones. I love the special ones since it contains my favorites in one! Imagine Wagyu with four bras and caviar! Even with out the fancy addition, it is a great place to have sushi in this city.

My first time trying omakase, and I was disappointed! All the food was fresh, delicious, and the price was great considering it's in NYC. The food was served at a somewhat fast pace, but I didn't mind as someone who was eager for the next course. The restaurant was cozy, with only 6 of us customers, one chef, and one waitress. Both were super nice and paid attention to if we wanted anything. A great place to pop your omakase cherry!

We heard many good things about sushi/sashimi in NYC in general. This omakase spot is walking distance of our hotel and it looks great so we gave it a try after making reservation. We arrived and were promptly seated. Service is very brief and we chose the $65 for 12 because we were still full from lunch. The whole experience felt very rushed. Not much were explained from what we were getting. So it's basically just try it and see if you like it. The fish quality was very mediocre. I even had better quality in Atlanta than this. The oyster was not fresh and lukewarm instead of a refreshing blast of the ocean like what I would expect from an oyster appetizer. The fish were lukewarm and not as cold as I normally expected. It's a great deal for an omakase but the whole experience and quality left me craving for better quality sushi. Unfortunately we didn't have time to book another reservation elsewhere.

Shiki offers 2 version of their omakase - a base and a premium. I decided to treat myself to the premium for $35 extra. They were celebrating their 3 year opening anniversary and offering ever a complimentary bottle of sake! The premium pieces were fresh and delicious, well worth the extra splurge. The "base" omakase also comes with the uni truffle and wagyu uni pieces so you can't go wrong with either! The gentleman sitting next to me was celebrating his bday so we got to enjoy an epic bday sparkler celebration. Highly recommend Shiki was a delicious omakase at/under $100!

I walked in on a random Wednesday with my dad, and there was only one other party. I got the $65 for 12 piece omakase and my dad got the $100 for 15 piece omakase. This is definitely a more affordable option for omakase and honestly a steal with what it being served. My favorite was the toro & caviar and the A5 wagyu & uni. Everything was super fresh, so you are getting high-quality omakase for an amazing price. The ungai was the only one that I was not a huge fan of. I would definitely come back if I was thinking of getting affordable omakase!

I really love coming across places like Shiki omakase which make a luxury like omakase accessible to more people, while still offering decent quality seafood. Shiki provides one of the best deals in town, where you can get a 12 piece omakase for $65. If you are feeling a little hungrier, you can also get the 17 piece option for $100. The 17 piece menu offers completely different pieces than the 12 piece option (rather than being 12 original pieces + 5 new pieces). This means you could try both menus a few days apart and have a completely different experience. While this is far from the best omakase I've encountered, it is pretty darn impressive for the price. We went on Christmas Day and we were surprised to see there were still a few seats available for our time slot. Since we weren't super hungry, we went with the 12 piece and then purchase a large a-la-carte king salmon handroll. The kanpachi and Wagyu-uni were my favorite bites. The pieces aren't huge, but the handroll was a very generous portion. We left satisfied, but not stuffed. If you can eat a lot of food, I'd definitely recommend the 17 piece. The ambience is relaxed and informal. It's surprisingly easy to get a reservation. While they do offer some beer and sake, they are also byob for a $20 uncorking fee. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the 17 piece menu!

Came here during my trip to NYC, this is probably one of the best sushi omakase experiences I've had in my entire life. For the price it provides excellent quality food with an extremely friendly staff. The whole time the chef would make sure everything was to my liking and would cater towards my liking if needed.Course Omakase

Coming from LA, omakase is on average $250, so when we visited NYC we knew we'd have to have omakase before we left. I had friends who have gone to Shiki and I've heard nothing but great things, so I had to try it for myself. In short, this place is SO good and SO worth it! We made a dinner reservation online and it was really simple. They ask for your card information and will charge you if you're late or a no-show. We arrived on time and waited for the previous guests were finished before we were let in. The inside is pretty small, and has a dining area similar to an L shape with about 15 seats available. We decided to get the 12-course omakase for $65 and it was absolutely worth it! Our chef was friendly and kind and made sure we knew what we were eating. The fish was fresh and absolutely delicious! It all melts in your mouth and the sauces/toppings really tie everything together. Although 12 pieces sound little, it filled me up. This was such a wonderful experience and the food was definitely worth the price. If you're looking for a place to get omakase, this is your spot!

First time Omakase for me ever. I made the reservation for 12pm I was there and sat immediately. Very clean sushi bar nothing too fancy - just clean and elegant. Very small interior too so I highly suggest making a reservation to make sure you can do it. I chose the 12 piece omakase for $65 which is crazy affordable especially for the pieces they have on the menu. I'm not going to individually go through all the pieces because there's 12 of them, but overall it's a crazy nice experience to see them and hear the chefs commentary on the pieces and watch them as they make it. The pieces were all very clean - not overbearing with anything extra on the sushi. Which I liked as it really allowed me to taste and focus on the fish quality. There were some sauces they brushed onto the pieces or added perhaps truffle to the Uni but that didn't take over the flavor of the fish but added to it. All of the fish though was high quality without a doubt. I'm not a sushi snob but that fish was buttery and biting into it and as you chew you would really taste that fish. Most noticeable in my opinion on the bluefin tuna piece. Just so rich and damn every bite was smooth and flavorful. Really recommend this as it was very affordable for the Omakase experience and worth it for the variety and quality

Hands down my favorite omakase spot ever. Like any good sushi restaurant that only offers omakase, it is very intimate and personable. Reservations are on the hour, so don't be late! I've been twice so far and both times I got the 17 course ($99) plus seasonal add-on ($18). Best quality omakase for the price! I find myself comparing all omakases to this experience.

I came here for my friend's birthday and it was a great experience. They go ALL OUT by turning the lights off, having fun disco lights, birthday music, staff dancing, and come out with a little birthday surprise and one of those firework candles. Amazing and super friendly staff!! Cost - 17 pieces $100/person or 12 piece for $65/person. Super reasonable prices for New York! Special dishes cost extra. The sushi itself was good, not super crazy delicious. The specials were MELT IN YOUR MOUTH delicious. I chose the Winter special (crispy bread, Miyazaki A5 wagyu, Foie Gras, Uni, and Caviar) for an additional $18 and it was WORTH IT. I wish I had gotten a chance to try the other specials.

Absolutely wonderful experience for the price point they deliver at. A few of the courses were pretty memorable. Personally, enjoyed the scallop, oyster and wagyu course. Toro and caviar was also an elegant mouthful.

Went to Shiki Omakase on an early Saturday afternoon and had a great Omakase lunch. We had the 12 Piece Omakase which was reasonably priced at $65. Each piece was creative and fresh and the chef presented each one nicely with an explanation. Great relaxing atmosphere and friendly service throughout. Will be back!

One of my most favorite spots for omakase. They keep it simple and let the quality of their ingredients blow you away. The service is always super quick and you get to enjoy the masters and make some of the most amazing pieces I've ever seen. The ambiance is very modern and really reflects the amazing experience. Must try is the handroll !

For $65 this is such a legit and high-quality omakase spot in NYC at an unbeatably affordable price! Both their $65 12-course option and $100 17-course option are super yummy and worth it, serving very good quality fish and other items. The seared A5 Wagyu and also King Salmon were two of my favorites in particular. It's traditional Omakase bar seating, so you get the intimate personalized dining experience, and the chefs are super friendly and talkative, willing to go in detail about the food origin and preparation process. Overall this was a 10/10 experience for me in NYC, especially for that unbeatable price!

I brought a friend here for their first omakase experience, and it was great! The food was delicious and was a good amount to leave us feeling satisfied. The service was prompt and friendly, and the bar only seating made the place feel very intimate. The only thing I would have liked to have is a little more time to chat between courses, as they came quickly and for a 12-course meal, we were in and out in less than an hour which is much faster than I am used to. It definitely felt like they were moving quickly to prepare for the next reservations. It was a good experience overall, but I likely would try out other omakase experiences before returning for this one.

Extremely friendly, kind and helpful staff. Came without a reservation and seated immediately. Got the 17 pieces, fall special and winter special and the yuzu sake. Enjoyed everything that I had. All of the seafood was fresh and clean. The music was lovely and added to the atmosphere. The timing you get the rolls and the explanations from the chef gave a amazing vibe. Everything was so good I don't know what tops are, but the add on I would suggest is the winter special that piece was mind blowing. 10/10

Simple, elegant, and smooth. Shiki provides what I would call a "beginner-friendly" omakase. Chefs Lin and Jackie have identified the heart of fine omakase and served a leaner and budget friendly version while retaining its essence. The 12 cuts tasting menu takes you across the major fatty and lean cuts of popular sushi fish. They begin with an oyster, sweet and spicy, to set the tone for the night. This is followed by yellowtail, tuna, and salmon. Each cut of fish is served with a strong serving of wasabi and a healthy balance of sushi rice. The scallop is one of my personal favorites. Tender, sweet, and juicy. The gentle cuts help the soy sauce, sea salt, and scallop juice to blend and create a pocket of umami flavor. However, Uni with truffle outdoes the truffle. Both difficult ingredients to work with and even harder to serve fresh, Shiki's uni is creamy and deeply satisfying to slurp. The uni has a buttery texture that smoothly spreads around your mouth. We get another chance to savor this uni along with A5 Wagyu later in the night. Here the creaminess ocean butter compliments the tougher beef cut in both texture and flavor. Finally, we end the night with Unagi. Shiki's eel is surprisingly crispy and fun to eat. The true elegance of Shiki is definitely its price tag. This is a place to bring your friends that have never tried omakase. A gateway drug into the world of fish. However, this also means that Shiki's sushi is simpler than its more expensive New York omakase counterparts. I would have preferred a deeper exploration into a umami of each cut of the fish. The flavor and texture of seafood varies greatly even on the same fish. In addition, the wasabi overpowers the flavor of the fish rather than complimentary. However, Shiki is still a titan in the New York omakase scene and they make your visit worth the time and money.

One of the best omakase in NYC! Super fresh uni and sashimi. They also customize orders to your liking, just have to pay the price. Our favorite go-to to suffice sushi cravings! Better to make reservations since it's always packed.

I decided to come here with my brother and best friend since I saw this recommended on instagram and also on yelp. I made a reservation for a 1pm lunch on a Thursday and found that there were several reservations available even the night before for a weekday lunch or dinner. The reservation requires your credit card information and deposit so make sure you're able to make the reservation before you book it! I don't believe they allow walk-ins either. We arrived to the restaurant and found it to be cute and intimate--there were probably only 10-15 seats available around the sushi bar. There were 3 sushi chefs making sushi and we were given the option for a $65 or $100 omakase. All 3 of us decided to get the $65 omakase and were pleasantly surprised by the option after a couple of the sushi pieces presented of the option of more/less rice and more/less wasabi. A nice personal touch. My brother and friend decided on more rice per piece. We had a total of 12 pieces and all of the fish pieces were very fresh and delicious--the more notable pieces were the hotate (scallop), the toro & caviar, and also the unagi. The hotate (scallop) was sweet and fresh and also scored, very tasty. The toro & caviar piece was also very rich and yummy, and the unagi was smoky and diced into smaller pieces with some crunchy ball pieces on top. The only complaint that I have is that the rice was a little hard, and after the 12 piece omakase was finished, all of us were left a little hungry. If you have a larger appetite, I would probably recommend doing the $100/15 piece omakase or ordering an additional handroll or two. I would come back for the omakase again!

Was looking for a new date night spot and at this price point, Shiki omakase provides good value for money. Their 12 piece menu is just the right amount of food. Highlight for me was the A5 steak and uni combo piece, it was definitely unique. I didn't love the lack of a hand roll at the end though, they made us order it separately and it was not cheap. They also have a good selection of sake and beer, or you can BYO for a corkage fee. Make sure to arrive on time to savor the full experience!

Wow, so much variety and the price to value ratio is great here. My favorites were the add ons and the beef / toro ones.

I'm relatively new to the omakase scene but compared to the several omakase experiences I've had, Shiki Omakase did not make much of an impact. The service was ok. The food was ok. And the atmosphere was ok. For a $65- 12 course sushi/sashimi meal it was very average. It wasn't a bad experience but Shiki just failed to make an impact on me.

Affordable omakase. Went for lunch and got their 17pcs omakase for $100. The sushi pieces were decent, but each piece had too much wasabi for my taste. My favorite piece was the otoro with caviar and the shiro ebi (baby white shrimp), something you don't see in many omakase places. The chef was very friendly and took his time to explain each piece. Of course, limited seating so make sure you have a reservation.

This was my second time going to Shiki after having gone about two years ago. I would say that the first time I went felt better than this time especially with the first half of the course. The course got better over time so I was still very satisfied with the meal given the price and quality. We got the $65 meal with 12 pieces along with a handroll. We were full by the end of the 12 pieces but wanted to treat ourselves a little more The best bites were the wagyu with Uni and the toro with caviar. They simply melt in your mouth and burst with so much flavor. I was disappointed by the salmon and albacore this time. It didn't taste as fresh as the last time. The oysters and scallops however never disappoint and I'm always pleasantly surprised by how much they add to the overall meal. Someone next to us also had a birthday celebration there and the staff made it so much fun for them with disco lights, music, and sparkler candle. I would love to come next time for a friends or my birthday. The staff are always so kind and super attentive to the customers!

Came here on a Monday evening. It was not crowded. We were the first to arrived and got sat in the corner. The sushi chef was friendly and told us what he was serving. He was able to substitute the wagyu beef with something else because my friend don't eat beef. The restaurant is very simple. It doesn't have a lot of decoration. They can be more attentive in refilling water and do a better job in cleaning the restroom.

The best value and experience we could've asked for! We walked in for lunch on a weekday & was seated immediately. The chefs were so friendly and we had great conversation with them in Japanese and Chinese throughout the meal. All of the pieces were incredibly fresh as if we were eating in Japan. We will definitely be back next time we're in town. Absolutely loved the $65 omakase + relaxing environment and atmosphere. Best toro I've had in the states.

My boyfriend and I have never done omakase before and someone recommended this place as an affordable place with good quality sushi. We were excited to try omakase without breaking the bank too much! We made reservations in advance but just a few hours prior, so it wasn't too booked out. It's a small spot, you sit around a u-shaped bar watching the sushi chefs. We enjoyed everything and had such a great experience! The sushi chef ensured we were happy throughout and adjusted the amount of wasabi based on our preference. We even added on one of the specialty items, which was very extra haha... it had uni, caviar, gold leaf, you name it - but it was delicious! The lighting is bright so it's not very romantic date night vibes but it's still a great time. Highly recommend!

One of my favourite omakase spots in the city!! Honestly every time I go, I'm blown away by the taste and service. All of the staff and chefs are super professional and make the experience so relaxing. You can't go wrong with either omakase menu. All of the pieces are so delicately made right in front of you, as every seat is at the counter. The fish is always super fresh, and flavors are delicious. My favourite piece from their special menu is the Summer. It's super refreshing and light, perfect to end off the meal. I would love to keep this place a secret so the reservations are always available, but it's too good not to share. For the price, service, and food... this is the place to go for omakase!

Had my first omakase experience here. We got the 12 course omakase for $65 and it was so worth it! Everything was so fresh and delicious. My favorites were the wagyu and the toro with caviar. The service was great and the restaurant was so cute and clean. Highly recommend coming in for a great omakase experience!

Had a wonderful time sitting at the sushi bar. We ordered the bigger set and had 2 add ons. Everything is delicious. I can see they pay attention to the details and it was like watching the chef create art. I like how the chef asks id if it's the right amount of rice and wasabi. The truffle shavings on uni were superb! And it just got better and better. The summer and winter rolls are must gets!

This was so fire. We were able to get a last minute reservation for my boyfriend's birthday and it did not disappoint. Delicious omakase with all my favorite classics, in addition to some new ones like baby shrimp and some old classics like kanpachi that always stand out. They also gave the cutest little birthday shoutout celebration thing with a bonus piece which was very good and cute. My only complaint is that the chef was way efficient and it went too fast. Loved it and appreciated the uniqueness.

Great price omakase with 12 pieces for $65. The dining time is limited to 60 minutes but they serve fast so you can be done in 30 minutes. My favorites were the scallop with charcoal salt and the wagyu uni. Service is great and it's a bar with about 12 seats total.

12 piece omakase well worth the $65. It's definitely a more casual, no-frills omakase experience, but I appreciate that Shiki provides quality behind the counter and ingredients for a reasonable price point. It's BYOB with a $20 corkage fee. My friend and I brought 2 soju bottles and had the time of our lives. The chefs are really fun and one had offered to hand feed me Overall, Shiki delivers with fresh fish & awesome service. This is one of the better value deal omakase spots in the city!

We dined at Shiki about five times now. We never had a bad experience. Service is wonderful. An excellent place for a date.

It's a quick tasting menu kind of service. Not traditional omakase but very good for the price point.

Great experience for relatively more affordable omakase! 12 pieces for $65 before tip and tax The chefs were really nice and they made the food right in front of us as served them one by one at the pace that we ate! It was cool to see how they so smoothly assembled everything The fish all tasted really good too!!! Personal favorites were fatty tuna for the rich melt in your mouth, the unagi for such a nice warm cozy end to the meal, the wagyu w truffle and uni for such good combo of flavors, and the hanpachi fish for such a fun soft chewiness :))) They also give plenty and plenty of garlic for you to cleanse your palette in between each! But the aftertaste is so good too I never wanted it to leave Also it happened to be someone's birthday and another couple's anniversary so the chefs all played music and sang and turned the lights down low to present a special extra dish to the person celebrating, very wholesome vibes! Interior is also wooden with warm light and only 12 spots for guests so it feels very cozy with a light bustle Had a great time!

One of the cheaper Sushi Omakase in the city! Very cozy little place and the sushi was good not exceptional, but for the price you could not match it anywhere else! I would definitely go again^^ (*--)ノYes ~

Great quality fish, decent price for omakase, and a very fun and unserious vibe!!! I don't have many comparison points for omakase but I really loved the overall experience at shiki. Food: fish quality was excellent! Their combos were fairly simple but it let the quality of the ingredients shine through which I liked! The presentation was also nice!! Ambiance: the things about more "budget" omakase places is that they often feel sterile and rushed, NOT shiki though!! The staff were friendly and engaging and whenever it was someone's bday they would dim the lights, get a disco ball going, and play music haha! Overall would rec for omakase newbies!

(Overall: 100% | A+) - Overall, the meal was fantastic with a high quality and diverse menu. The service was incredible with depth of knowledge and kind and made me feel appreciated as a customer. The bar also looks great and thoughtfully considers a place to hang your bags as well. (Oyster: 102.5% | A+) - I love that the oyster is very sweet and high wuality. They were skillfully shucked without any sand or cracked shell and pairs well with traditional Chinese flavors of garlic soy. (Hamachi: 95% | A) - The fish is beautiful in color and the jalapeno adds some nice flavor! (Shima Aji: 85% | B) - I found this fish to be a little too light, especially as a white fish needing more complementary flavors. However, it still tastes fresh and high quality! (Madai: 107.5% | A+) - This dish simply looks incredible and elevates white fish in a way that is so elegant and tasty. As a person who is generally not a fan of white fish, this definitely hits the mark. (Akami: 95% | A) - This cut works well as the wasabi gives a very strong kick to the lean tuna, which essentially functions as most white fish with stronger flavor. (Shiro Ebi: 100% | A+) - White shrimp topped with a piece of otoro fatty tuna was heavenly. The shrimp was sweet and the extra fat made it even more decadent. (King Salmon: 107.5% | A+) - The salmon looks magnificent and tastes incredibly fresh. I am normally not a fan of king salmon because of its firmness, but Shiki did a nice job pairing it with the herbs and flowers to give the dish a wow factor for taste and presentation. (Hotate: 102.5% | A+) - This scallop is seasoned exceptionally well; specs of salt help draw out the natural sweetness of the scallop and is very pleasant and smooth. (Sayori: 92.5% | A) - This appears to be a Japanese Halfbeak, white fish, which on its own is plain but the wasabi gives it a nice refreshing kick. (Toro: 102.5% | A+) - Caviar is historically known for being particularly mild in flavor, but here it pairs very well to give the fatty tuna some umami saline. The chef was kind enough to give me a double portion of caviar too. (Itoyori: 87.5% | B) - This white fish is very pure and touched only with a bit of soy. Its delicious and a lean and refreshing piece. (Kinmedai: 87.5% | B) - This red snapper is also on the simple size with only a touch of ponzu. I think this piece works well once again to balance out the other courses that are bold and fatty in flavor. (Uni: 100% | A+) - This uni is quite stunning and looks fantastic with the shaved truffle. I love the uni in that it is really sweet and creamy, emphasizing the freshness. If there was a stronger truffle flavor, this bite would be even more of orgasmic. (Sablefish: 92.5% | A) - The usage of blowtorched worked well to add some smokiness to the fish. I think it was paired with ume which added a nice acidic flavor. (Albacore: 100% | A+) - This was one of the best pieces of albacore I've had. It was cut well to get a balance of rawness as well as smokiness. The fish is tender to begin with and high quality. The chili is also very smart to give an otherwise bland fish a heaty kick. (Wagyu: 95% | A): This piece of A5 wagyu melts in your mouth like butter and the uni pairing adds creaminess. I think the only thing that is missing is dome flake salt for the steak. (Anago: 97.5% | A) - I like the mild sweetness of the eel that pairs well with a light barbecue sauce. IG: @amei.eats

This is a great omakase for the value- 17 pieces for $100. The fish are all good quality and delicious. They start and finish their seatings on time. The rice was a little too warm on the first bite but was fine after that.

an omakase for under $100 ($65 to be exact) for 12 delightful pieces of sushi - and it's GOOOOD! the staff is extremely friendly and the chefs are talented and chill - making the experience super enjoyable. It's counter seating as you get to see the chefs prepare each individual piece with so much care. My friend is GF and they even brought out GF soy sauce and prepared her pieces separately. the fatty tuna was melt in your mouth delicious and the hotate scallop was the perfect texture and just dissolved. Just overall a lovely experience with fresh fish and a great ambiance, so worth it

Great experience. Fresh fish and nice atmosphere Friendly service. Would Definitly return soon

Their quality is amazing. One of my favorite affordable omakase in the city. Wish the portion side was a bit bigger because I was still hungry afterward

Yum! This was such a treat. Great omakase from a friendly chef and staff. The price point is exactly perfect on this one in my opinion. I loved just about every bite, but maybe would have left the uni off the last piece of wagyu; the temperature difference took away from both flavors. That said, truly every other piece was deeeelish! After spending the summer in Japan I feel a little more confident saying just how yummy I think this food really was. Relaxing atmosphere as well, not stuffy at all, but still elevated. I'll be back :)

Beautiful presentation to start the experience. Love the oyster but if you don't like cilantro/parsley, tell them ahead so they'll skip the garnish for your 1st bite They have 2 different types of uni, from California and Japan. The grade of uni they use in the Japanese one is the bafun uni, one of the best one from Hokkaido. Service is great and definitely will come back

My friend and I ordered the 12 pc Omakase and every piece of sushi was amazing! The fish quality was some of the best I've ever had and we got to see each piece carefully crafted by the chef. He even asked for our preferences for the amount of wasabi in each piece. The service was warm and welcoming too. We loved the intimate and unpretentious vibe the restaurant had too. We even offered the chef some sake! My friend and I were glad it wasn't the kind of Omakase restaurant where you were expected to speak very quietly. Overall we had and amazing meal and a great time. The price was a great value too. $65/person for the 12 pc Omakase!
