Comment: Small omakase shop with excellent quality fish and peaceful atmosphere. The restaurant is chinese/japanese owned and the chefs are not classically trained in sushi making but they get the job done very well learning from online resources. The real star of the show is the quality of the fish. Best sushi ive had in nyc so far. Will need to try shinn east next.Definitely best option for less than $70 omakase.

Comment: Highly enjoyed my experience at the omakase room. The service was well-run and highly attentive to the requests of its patrons. The chefs did a great job conveying the flavors of each piece.I had the 12 piece course and an add-on piece at the end

Comment: I would say ingredients they use are much fresher and better than other omakase spots around this price point. You will get Caviar, A5 Wagyu, and some premium ingredients.

Comment: Seafood/fish absolutely fresh and delicious!! Favorite pieces were the buttery hotate (scallop), melting toro with uni and wagyu beef with uni. Plum sake was also a good pair with the omakase. Only down was that the dinner felt really rushed but maybe that’s how NY restaurants are.

Comment: I have to say Shiki Omakase really has the gift & talent. They know how to prepare & serve some of the best sushi ever. The service & hospitality alone was a win for me, even down to how they explain what theyre giving you. Truly a great experience.

Comment: Food: 10/10. For $68, you get excellent sushi (2 appetizers, a hand roll, one uni roll, and 9 nigiri on top). The fish they use here is much fresher and better than other omakase spots around this price point. I mean, there’s two pieces during the dinner that have uni. Caviar, A5 Wagyu, and scallops are also among some premium ingredients. The sushi itself was well made and paired with interesting but delicious additions (I liked the yuzu on top of the salmon and the sturgeon caviar on the otoro piece.)Service: 6/10. Honestly, our sushi chef was amazing. He even noticed that I was left-handed, so started to place the ginger on the right side of the plate and each piece of sushi on the left. But the reason for a 6/10 is the waitress we had, as well as the weird upsell in the middle of our dinner. They walk around with an iPad halfway through dinner and try convincing you to buy extra pieces of sushi, which are NOT cheap (a hand roll is almost $20). After shoving the iPad between my and my girlfriend’s shoulder, we politely told her we were not going to purchase any of the additional items. Instead of nicely nodding or something, she very disappointingly muttered “Okay.” She seemed very annoyed that we didn’t add any items. As a service worker once myself, the most important part of service is to be cheerful, informative, and make the customer comfortable. Our waitress had an unfortunately grim face throughout service. I did cash tip directly to her, so I hope this experience was just due to a bad day or something.Atmosphere: 9/10. Brightly lit, small restaurant. Well designed. Great crowd in there usually as well. Only complaint is that it does get a bit crowded at the bar, but I understand that they probably have to accommodate as many that can fit.

Comment: The service was a little too good - someone is always watching your plate. The fish were all so fresh and good. The chefs batch process the dishes, so dont expect conversation or improvisation. Wont be back just because there are so many alternatives, many with nicer atmosphere.

Comment: This was my first omakase experience! i had such a fun time at shiki, the staff was so nice, all of the pieces were very delicious and fresh, and overall it was just good vibes!my fav pieces were def the wagyu + uni, uni + truffle, kumamoto oyster, hotate, and the toro caviar. i also got an extra piece as a lil bday treat!i highly recommend esp for the price (12 pieces for $65). there’s also an option for a 17 piece omakase for $100 if you’re feeling extra hungry. but i thought the 12 pieces itself was pretty filling!what we got:⋆ a5 wagyu + uni⋆ kumamoto oyster⋆ madai⋆ hamachi⋆ salmon⋆ akamizuki⋆ hotate⋆ kanpachi⋆ toro + caviar⋆ uni + truffle⋆ albacore tuna⋆ bbq eel⋆ bday piece (i don’t remember the nameig: @whatsviveating

Comment: This was certainly really good Omakase, especially for the price point. For me, this gets 5 stars because it was delicious and wild for only 65 dollars. We went for my brothers birthday and they did a cool little celebration for him. Go for a celebration to be sure, or just go because you want very good Omakase on a budget.

Comment: This was my first omakase experience and I’d absolutely go back. I was showing my friend around the city for his first time in New York. It was a frigid and windy day, and all of a sudden we walk by the sign that was outside. Little did we know what we stumbled upon.We were quickly relaxed with the quaint and warm atmosphere. 12 dishes and 2 sake bottles later had us feeling incredible. Best $65 I’ve ever spent, would absolutely go back the next time I’m in the city.I can’t remember our chef but he was very talented and kind. Thank you again.

Comment: It was our first time doing an omakase... this was the place highly recommended by a youtuber who went to several reasonably priced omakase places and did the comparisons... first bite here we go! every piece was really good... we first ordered the 12 piece omakase but after tasting a few pieces we opted for the 17 piece one... really great first omakase experience for us...

Comment: We had the 12 course for $65! I would say its a good price and well worth it for the food! Also the staff was very attentive, they noticed i was giving away my uni and they substituted the uni for wagyu and toro. I really appreciate that! Im not a big fan of sushi but i like my experience here! Definitely recommend!

Comment: I came for a 17-piece omakase but ended up with at least 5 add-on courses after because everything was so good! The ingredients were fresh, chefs and staff were extremely friendly, and each dish was served with delicacy and creativity. Best of all, the price was very reasonable. I recommend giving combinations of scallop, toro, ebi, and/or uni a shot. No complaints here; I’m not a local, but I will be back!

Comment: O-makase which means Ill leave it up to you! This is a form of Japanese dining in which guests leave themselves in the hands of a chef and receive a meal which is seasonal, elegant, artistic and uses the finest ingredients available.I love omakase and I have tried many different omakase restaurants in NYC.Shiki is a great budget friendly omakase place and from the service to the taste of the food is incredible!It’s a small place can host around 20 ppl. The Chefs are preparing everything in front of you. The staff are very quick, attentive, and fun!They have BYOB! Even though I love my sushi with a cup of Genmaicha. You can bring a bottle of sake to enjoy!1 hour seating but it was enough fo us.You have two options either 17 course($100) or 12 course ($65). I tried 12 course when I was visiting here for the first time but then I have been ordering 17 course every time I go. I recommend 17 because 12 is not enough and when you order extra pieces, it will be much more expensive.I ordered: 17 course, 12 course, one summer,one winter.Favorite: All of them!Least favorite: -Ambience: 5 Cozy, clean, comfortable.Price: 5Quality of food: 5Service: 5Overall: 5

Comment: Serving some serious legit sushi and nigiri. I have many favourite pieces and Uni is always my fav. Although the pieces are on the smaller size but after a good 17 pieces omakase menu, we felt pretty good end of the evening. Additional item can be added on after the full course. Service is fine and sitting by the counter you can see the chef working but it feels pretty rush with a turnover every hour. Definitely recommended for a quick yet quality eat but its not for an evening of experience.

Comment: Way better than expected! To be honest I didn’t expect much but it turned out to be great. Ingredients were fresh and rice temperature, amount of rice-fish ratio was good. Aesthetically pleasing and price was very reasonable. Reservations were completely full when we got there and also 1 hour seating limit which makes everything efficient with high turn over. One thing I noticed was the texture of the scallop was different from other restaurants. It was slightly harder than other ones I tried and I loved it. Not a huge fan of scallop but this one was perfect. Also the caviar they used wasn’t as salty so it did’t hurt the taste of original ingredients which was great. Sometimes restaurants over do it and the taste is not balanced and can come out a little salty especially when using caviar and ikura but this place knows what they’re doing and who they’re serving. Fast and efficient and they focus on the food.

They were wonderful to call me back and asked if I preferred a different time since they had a last minute cancellation. The food is very fresh—it’s like butter to my palate.

It was a wonderful experience and we are so glad we went. Our sushi was beautifully designed with beautiful flowers and vibrant colors from the toppings. The food was very fresh. We basically had the place to ourselves around 10pm, they had their last setting. The staff was kind, accommodating, and fun!

Comment: A wonderful sushi omakase with wonderful value and good ingredients!Tried the $65 Omakase set this time with 12 dishes/sushi, and it really went beyond my expectations!I would especially recommend the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu with Uni roll.The quality of the beef is really good, and the uni is also really fresh and tasty.It was really good combination with two good ingredients with new flavor.The Sake (Salmon) and Hotate(Scallop) sushi are also really fresh and flavorful, they are also two of my favorite pieces in the set.Also tried the $18 “Winter” special dish, it was super good but I would recommend those in a budget to try their $100 set with 5 more sushi.Jacky the chef/shokunin is really professional and friendly.The sushi made by him are fresh and delicious.The staff here are also really friendly, and they even serve multiple cups of sake for you to pair with the set without extra charge!A definitely recommended valuable Omakase in NYC, would definitely come back for the $100 set!

I also ordered an extra winter special sushi, uni and wagyu beef on a crispy bread, very tasty! You have to finish all in roughly 50 minutes, so have to be quick.

Comment: We decided to try the $100 Omakase which is 17 pieces Nigiri. There was about three sushi chef who was preparing the nigiris. They were very quick. Within a minute, they have set the oyster and Madai on the plate already. After we were done eating, they begin the serve the next nigiri. They did a good job in telling us what the fish was and different types of uni. Other than that, we didn’t get much communication with the chef because it just look like they were very busy making the nigiri. Our server did come often to check on our drink and to refill them. We felt like we were rushed to finish our food because $100 Omakase 17 pieces was the serving at the same pace as $65 Omakase 12 pieces. At the end we order their special menu item as a add on; I haven’t had a chance to eat that and our server came to ask if we can pay first. I didn’t want to be rude so we decide to pay and quickly eat that special menu item. We notice when we were finishing our food, there was people already waiting to seat down. That’s probably why our server rush us to pay so we can leave for the next group to start. I think the experience could be better if they didn’t rush us in serving the food and telling us to pay. One hour is probably too short. The nigiri was awesome though. I loved every single nigiri especially Shima Aji and Kin Medai.

Comment: Shiki Omakase was an excellent experience for the ideal price.The menu seems to change fairly often, so youll find out what youll be eating the day of when you walk up to the location. Reservations are required, so keep that in mind.Shiki is BYOB, but they also bring by happy water as you eat.Everything in my meal was incredible. Ive never tasted such unique flavor combinations. Fish was incredibly fresh and presentation was gorgeous. Theres a small break in between courses so you can savor the flavor.Near the end of the meal you have the option to select something from their special menu with an upcharge starting at $12. Its pretty worthwhile because what you get is quite large and has such a unique flavor, I dont regret paying a bit more.I was personally full after all 12 courses, but I can see someone still being hungry after the fact. Omakase is meant to be an experience, and Shiki certainly does that.

Comment: I went to this place four times in a month because this is the best sushi place I have ever gone in New York. Currently, they are offering $65/12 courses, which is a reasonable price. They also offer special courses named by the four seasons. I will definitely recommend this place to my families and friends.

Comment: Almost identical to a $250 a plate Japanese/sushi restaurant for more than half the price. The food was fresh and my friends and I didn’t have one “ok” piece. It’s a more intimate setting, but they do separate parties by one bar stool. Sake is included in the price and the wait staff was phenomenal. You can tell the chefs enjoy what they do and it’s fun to watch while talking with friends and family. It’s a place I will be returning to. Photo: The chefs noticed my husband taking a photo and directing me on where to point my flashlight on my phone - they jumped right in and helped with lighting!

Comment: Worth your time and money.It’s good. Well executed. Upon entry, we were quickly seated. We brought a bottle of wine and they corked it as we relax into our hour omakase session. The restaurant was clean and simply decorated. The music level kept to a minimum.The course was impeccable. Starting off with oysters was a nice touch. The sequence of nigiris served was well paced. We had time to enjoy each piece and was able to enjoy our wine as the chef prepared the next piece.Each piece was delicious and always had you salivating for more. I did think the pieces were generally smaller than other omakase places I’ve been to at the same price range.Towards the end they’ll present you with add ons. This was brought out and presented on an iPad and the waitress waited for your selection. I thought this was a little too much pressure and would had been better presented if they left me with a paper menu that I could digest and make my decisions.Throughout the meal, they did serve us “happy water” aka sake which was a nice bonus we didn’t expect. Overall, I would recommend as I can see the passion in the head chef and will expect him to continue to hone his craft and improve the omakase experience.

Comment: I walked past this place one evening and was struck by how cute and intimate it was. When I saw all the positive reviews online, I was skeptical but still booked a reservation.Well - I went in today and was blown away. Jacky is a master sushi chef, the sushi was all incredibly well prepared (my favorite was the wagyu with uni!!), and the service was great!Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again and again.

Comment: W-O-W… this is a MUST… Incredible Omakase experience as good as any weve ever had in NYC or Japan and at a very low price (105$ pp after drinks, added special, tax and tip). Great relaxed atmosphere and perfect service.

Comment: This might be my new favorite sushi and Omakase restaurant... ever. Each dish is carefully crafted by the chefs in front of you, and they take the time to explain each dish.What blew me away was how delicious every course was in their own unique way, and the high quality ingredients they use (truffle shavings, caviar, Wagyu beef).For the price, you get above and beyond. $65 for 12 courses, for roughly one hour. You can also BYOB!They are a new restaurant, so don’t let the lack of reviews repel you and you’re in for one of the best meals you’ve ever had.

Comment: My friends and I love a good (and reasonably priced omakase - this one was $65) and one of them suggested Shiki, which is relatively new. We made ressos on a Friday night for 6:30. I wasnt sure what to expect since there werent many reviews at the time. I thought it was just a Japanese restaurant with an omakase but this place is actually legit. They only have sushi bar seating (maybe about 15 people?).Our courses for the night were:1. Kumamoto oyster2. Red snapper3. Hamachi yellowtail4. Salmon5. Bluefin tuna with wasabi leaf6. Shima aji7. Ebi with finger lime8. O toro9. Uni10. Albacore tuna11. Seared wagyu and uni12. EelMy favorites were the hamachi yellowtail, bluefin tuna, o toro, uni, and the seared wagyu and uni.They did not have a drink menu as of yet, but they offered us happy drink, which was sake and they always kept our glasses filled, so pretty much complimentary sake to complement your omakase, which is unheard of.Would love to come back and see what other pieces they have!

Comment: Amazing service. Amazing experience. Be prepared to spent more than the advertised price for the omakase because specials are sell later and you would definitely wanna at least try one of them, totally worth it.

Comment: My friend found this place while walking around and what a gem! There are too many photos so Ill just include some of my favorites but look at the quality! Besides being the only wagyu sushi I actually liked, we also had a great time interacting with the chef and the owner. Thanks for a great time!

Comment: Amazing omakase at a very reasonable price ($65). BYOB as well! Similar to other quality omakase like Sushi by M in the area. Would come again for quality ingredients and service.

Comment: If you’re looking for a delightful and intimate omakase experience—look no further. This talented team knows what they’re doing. Every bite was an artful, gustatory experience that inspired conversations across the bar. We joined them on a Wednesday evening and enjoyed a lively but down-to-earth ambiance.Shiki Omakase had attentive service and great background music to perfect the experience…what more could you ask for? 5/5!

Comment: Hands down best lunch Omakase I had in Manhattan. Unassuming atmosphere gives it bonus points for me, personally. Crazy fresh fish imported directly from Japan & superb service. Clean, kind, precise. Beautiful. Zero comments otherwise. It was perfect. Will beback.
