Comment: What an amazing Omakase experience in NYC! From the ambience, service and quality of the food- it’s 5 star. After checking out few reviews, I was still doubting if this omakase would be worth it. So glad we came to experience this restaurant.There is $95 menu and $ 115 premium menu.4 appetizers and 10 sushi, hand roll, miso soup and dessert were included. We went with premium menu and added extra: A5 wagyu, truffle and uni plus Toro hand roll.Tuna appetizer, oyster shooter w uni, hamachi were wonderful starters. Loved uni and ikura mini donburi. Smoked flavor was infused. Out of all 10 pc sushi, I loved Toro with truffled caviar, scallop and ebi.Hokkaido Uni was so sweet and amazing.Our server Abbie was so professional and friendly and made our dining experience exceptional.Mochi dessert was simple and delicious. After this meal, I planned trip to go Kyoto and Osaka to taste authentic omakase.Great for special occasion or date night. Highly recommend this place.

Comment: Amazing and sublime choices with some terrific new flavors for me, like Young Salmon & Fuji Apple, great roe selections and of course tuna tuna tuna. Warm and friendly folks, a comfortable room and the dessert was a special treat. Added a dry sake and had a meal experience to remember. Will return soon.

Comment: Impeccable front to back, the fish is of the upmost quality, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and great to chat with, and for the price, can hardly be matched. Stopped in on a whim and can’t wait to come back! Thank you chef Robert!

Comment: This was a delightful experience! The service and the place are wonderful, but the food is beyond description. Every dish is a work of art, some of astounding complexity. Our compliments to the chef!This experience reminded us of a place we went to in Kyoto. It almost felt shocking to step out into New York on the way out. Would definitely come again for a special night.

Comment: This was such a good experience. I had been looking forward to omakase in New York, and honestly this probably was the highlight of my trip. Our server, Kei, made the experience so much better, she was funny and entertaining. It was also a really good deal for $105, but I never felt like I wasn’t getting quality, fresh ingredients. The in-house pickled ginger, and top tier service have really made this a meal to remember. I would recommend Omakase Shihou to anyone who is looking for a quality experience eating sushi in New York.

Comment: If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Kei was an amazing server, super funny and friendly. Everything we had on the omakase menu was spectacular. I had some sushi that I’ve never had before with such delicate flavors and so fresh. Thank you, Shiro Omakase for a great evening!

Comment: Did the $105 course. Good standard omakase. Like the Asian size nigiri sushi. Atmosphere was very private at the upper level inside of another Japanese restaurant.

Comment: Honestly, this Omakase surprised so much! I sat on the chefs table for their most expensive Omakase which was 155$ for a 20 course Omakase. I have to say that (Ive had paid more than 220$ for an 15 course Omakase) and the Omakase from Shiro was better than any other I had! I didnt took photos of everything as I forgot because I was too busy enjoying the Omakase. Anyways, enjoy the ones Im posting!!

Comment: Great meal with incredible service! The fish and seafood were all very high quality and super flavorful! We got a good mix of oyster, scallop, sweet shrimp, salmon, tuna (akami & otoro), golden eye snapper, wagyu, sea bream, striped jack, uni, mackerel and more! There were maybe just 2-3 pieces that didn’t really stand out to me but everything else was incredible! The staff was super kind and attentive. We also got to try black throat sea perch which was amazing!! For $155 per person it’s a great value in terms of the quality pieces you get. Highly recommend!

Comment: Table omakase was great ! The fish quality was fantastic and I believe that the quantity of food matched the price!! The 2 apps, 10 pieces of sushi, hand roll, miso soup and dessert were all really reallly good - would def come again for a more affordable $105 omakase. They also had $150 option which is the only option at the bar

Comment: Food was solid - nothing really to describe in detail. Filling meal with a fair price. Service was really slow. I eventually just got up and went to get the check myself which was still a waiting process

Comment: Fantastic Omakase experience. Visiting New York and am so glad we can here. Each piece of nigiri was artfully crafted. The fish was fresh and delicious. Robert masterfully alternated with different flavors, textures and preparations. My wife is Celiac’s and required a gluten preparation. The restaurant was able to accommodate her dietary requirements without impacting the quality of her experience. We HIGHLY recommend and look forward to returning soon!

Our server let us taste different sakes before we decided to go with Dassai Beyond to pair it with our food. Best sake we’ve ever had!The chefs were so nice and chatted with us as we asked all sorts of questions.We will definitely be back!

Comment: The positive reviews prior says it all… legit af! Every detail was not missed. Very much appreciated the fresh wasabi to compliment each piece. Quality omakase is becoming rarer in the city nowadays… thank goodness for this place.

Comment: These guys know their stuff! Very traditional & delicious Omakase. If you’re looking for the Americanized version swimming in sauce this probably isn’t the place for you, but if you can appreciate traditional Omakase with fresh fish and attention to detail give this place a try! We did the premium Omakase for my boyfriend’s birthday and we both loved it. I should’ve taken more pictures but I was too busy enjoying every item. This is the first time I tried eel that I actually liked, the fresh preparation made all the difference. We got try many varieties of fish we never had before, we will definitely go back!

Comment: Omakase for $155 includes 20 courses. While the atmosphere can be on the quiet side, the quality is quite high. The former head chef of nearby Kaito created a diverse Omakase menu with no misses. Every piece was between a 8-10 and it’s one of the biggest menus around with so many courses.

Comment: We tried the dining menu and the portion was just perfect. Sometimes, you get tired of eating at the end of omakase dishes, but not this one. The ambiance is not luxurious and romantic, but the taste is too good and authentic (we almost felt that we were in Japan, and also their approach is very Japanese). So if you are looking for a little bit of casual but taste good Omakase at a reasonable price, here is the place you might want to go! We loved it here a lot!

Comment: Kei-san, who used to be the chef at Kaito, is the Chef of Shiro now. If you are looking for authentic sushi at the not-so-insane price, try this restaurant.Unfortunatelt the entrance to Shiro is a bit confusing. You have to enter another restaurant, TENZAN first, and then find a stairway to go upstairs to get to Shiro.

Comment: Attention to detail is incredible - whether that’s attention to preparing the sushi or to customers in the restaurant. I went back for a second time and they remembered me, welcomed me back, and were so grateful that I returned. Such a hidden gem!
