Delicious, affordable, great service.
Ambiance lacking but ABSOLUTELY worth it ! I went for a birthday and they gave us a few special menu items and a handwritten note.
Be the first to ReplyWow. Omakase at a lower price, a must-visit for those
Wow. Omakase at a lower price, a must-visit for those trying to get into the NY sushi scene. Decided last minute (about a few days out) to do an omakase in NYC and found this place--high ratings and last-minute reservations, too good to be true? With a quick 13-piece meal lasting around 35-45 minutes, I was left extremely satisfied. It's not the most filling meal but every bite was an experience! No complaints about any pieces but my favorites were the Wagyu Beef, Salmon+Foie Gras, and Hirame. All fresh, savory, delicious. In this small and intimate setting, the sushi chef was extremely accommodating and willing to adjust to our preferences. With free sake, it was bound to be a good time. Shinzo was a highlight on my NYC food trek, visit it for yourself!
Be the first to ReplyOut of so many $50-$100 omakase places in NYC, Shinzo
Out of so many $50-$100 omakase places in NYC, Shinzo really stands out. The fish quality was and the rice texture was amazing. Usually there's at least one piece I'm not satisfied with, but I enjoyed every single course! There was variety in the seasoning, but it never overpowered the taste of the fish. $69 for 13 courses makes Shinzo a slightly better deal than some of my other favorite omakase places at this tier. They also have an option to double the courses for 2x the price, which is wild but apparently people have done it and even ordered extra on top of it! Would definitely recommend and come back - still thinking about that unagi course...

I've been here twice now, once in October and once last night, and both were absolutely 5 star experiences. The quality of the fish and the service are both excellent. Their set menu for their omekase has great variety, and every piece is perfectly prepared, with no pretense, no elitism. I don't normally like yellowtail or tuna, but when I've come here, I've never deviated from the menu. I do appreciate that they allow substitutions, as my friend who has dined with me doesn't eat certain fish and doesn't eat beef (they have waygu on their set menu). No extra fees are charged for substitutions. Their chefs are fun to watch, and they'll talk to you, but it also feels comfortable to talk to your dinner companion without engaging the chef. The timing of each piece is perfect. Not too rushed, not too slow. Their flamed pieces have a perfect smokiness to them, and their ikura is the best I've ever tasted (not too salty, and slightly floral from the hint of yuzu they use). Their bathroom is brightly lit and clean. Their music playlist is solid. I'll be back for sure!
Be the first to ReplyVery high quality sushi for an affordable price.
BYOB and great service, Definitely recommend
Be the first to ReplyA tiny tiny place that seats maybe 10 people.
Recommend reserving ahead of time. Super cozy and intimate, which is a must for omakase. The options were a la carte or the 69$ 13-piece course. I got the 69$ course option, super good pieces with wagyu and uni and sweet shrimp. Of course they are on the smaller size but you have the option to get double. Today included a surprise hand roll at the end. And the technique they used to roll it was so different, wished I had taken a video or something. I asked my seat neighbor how they heard of the place, but apparently they are all the rage on social media right now! I had no idea.

This omakase place is a jackpot all the sushi was so good at a great price. Went there with my family and everyone had a great time and were happy with food. Make sure to check this place with friends and family. The chefs are great at the omakase and very nice. The ambiance is pretty cute and clean. Loved it here
Be the first to ReplyTLDR: best bang for your buck since Sushi by Bou.
Pleasantly surprised by the quality and well worth the price. SETTING: we made a res for a Saturday night at 7pm. It is a no frills, 10ish countertop with a couple tables for additional seating, omakase spot. When we arrived we were told there would be a small wait as the other guests from the seating before were finishing up. Thankfully the wait was only 5 minutes and we were in by 7:05. FOOD: the sushi here was very good. Each piece was perfectly accompanied by something that only highlighted the quality and taste of the fish- for example, yuzu salt, caviar, eel sauce, scallion, etc. nothing overwhelmed and the focus was always on the fish. We kept saying that we will definitely be back- always on the hunt for quality sushi that doesn't make your eyes water at the price. And this place exceeded our expectations - $69 for 13 pieces is unbeatable especially with this level of quality. SERVICE: the sushi chefs were nice, focused and mostly kept to themselves. The waitress was very nice. Water never went unfilled and they get you in and out in an hour. VERDICT: Shinzo has usurped the throne that sushi by bou once held (back in the day) in terms of quality and price- we will be back!

Not knowing what to expect, Shinzo has a stellar record of online reviews and I was excited to check them out. The place is small and familiar with the L shaped counter seating 7 and a few more small tables at the entrance. As you walk in, single sever checks you in and assigns seats. They checked our dietary restrictions, my guest has shellfish allergy, which they accommodated without issues. You have an hour to consume 13 nigiri pieces. Everything was precut for the exception of uni and ikura. The cuts are generous considering this is probably cheapest omakase in the City. The fish I was told is mostly from Japan unless stated on the menu otherwise. The highlights were torched sablefish which was buttery and also the A5 wagyu. Marinated ikura and Hokkaido uni were tasty as expected. I ordered a $25 Shinzo special towards the end as 13 nigiri didn't fill me up. This was more like stacked greatest hits but tasty nevertheless. What separates Shinzo from higher end omakase is time and detail of preparation. No miso soup, salad or other non sushi/sashimi options. You're not lingering here, although we didn't feel rushed. They also added an extra course for my birthday which was a nice touch. Overall happy to say was a fun hour and would come back again.
Be the first to ReplyFirst time at Shinzo, and absolutely loooved this place.
We booked last seating and although they were out by a couple of items by then, everything still came together so well! We chatted with Yi for a bit who was absolutely amazing, he made sure we were having a great time throughout our meal. Also note that they only use Hokkaido uni which I'm a big fan of. The restaurant itself is a small space, probably less than 10 for seating, but this made it easier to interact with the chefs and we also started chatting with other diners next to us! Can't wait to come back soon

Value: 5/5Sushi: 3/5Service: 5/5Good value omakase in an intimate space. I would say for the price, it's good but personally would prefer paying more for my omakase. None of the pieces wowed me, they were all good.One chef served me and my friend and was able to adjust my rice level to be less since I tend to fill up quickly. They were attentive in telling us about each piece and where the fish came from. Another pair celebrated a birthday and they turned off the lights with a candle in the sushi.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious!For $69/person, I can't complain.
The bar seats 10 pax and another table by the door that seats 2. The spot is BYOB so remember to grab some sake/drinks before coming in.My favorite were the sweet shrimp uni, scallops and wagyu. Everything else was pretty good too with otoro and chutoro on the menu as well. I added a few more courses and also a surprise handroll - which is a surprise and they didn't want to tell me (turned out to be some diced tuna with sauce and topped with uni).The chefs spoke mandarin which confused me but the food was good so no complaints. They were pretty strict on the 1 hr rule so as to have more seatings and keep the price.Great spot to check out if you are new to omakase and can't drop a $$$
Be the first to ReplyI walk by this small, intimate spot often and it always
I walk by this small, intimate spot often and it always appears to be full, lively, and buzzing with diners no matter the hour or even the weather so it definitely piqued my interest. With a plethora of omakase options in the city these days at various price points, it's hard to determine what is mediocre, good, or great. In this particular phase of my dining explorations, I want to find the equilibrium of quality to "accessible" price. I think Shinzo Omakase hits the mark. At $70 for 13 pieces, expectations were low, but if you have stuck with me this far, I'm happy to say it was not only delicious, but the service and the pacing was excellent, something absolutely important to me. As an added bonus, it's BYOB with attentive staff, which works out perfectly but there's one catch... a one hour dining limit. However, it doesn't feel rushed and honestly more than enough time. My party even had enough time to order a la carte. The East Village is filled with after-dinner spots so I consider one hour a positive from my POV, as I dislike lingering anyways.
Be the first to ReplyYou get what you pay for, great sushi but don't expect huge
You get what you pay for, great sushi but don't expect huge portion sizes relative to other Omakase places The chef was also a bit heavy handed on the wasabi, so would ask him to be a bit lighter. The pieces were all well crafted and more than enough food for dinner, maybe all Omakase places should serve these fish sizes!!

I celebrated my birthday at Shinzo Omakase - couldn't say enough about the superb food, the personable and caring host/owner Yi, our creative Chef Lian, and the outstanding service! We were treated like royalty and a return is guarantee

Each time I've come here the staff and chefs are so kind and go out of their way to take care of us. The food is amazing and vibes are right too. I shed a tear during some of the pieces and OMG the wagyu!!!! BYOB is a nice plus too :)
Be the first to ReplyVery good quality.
I have tried a lot of "budget downtown omakase" places and this was the best so far.

This was our first Omakase experience, and we came with friends who highly recommended it. Could not have been happier! The man who sat us explained what the menu items would be and kept our sake glasses filled. He was very nice and extremely helpful. The food was incredible. You get to watch each individual piece expertly crafted and it was fresh and delicious. Some of the pieces were torched, some had citrus, some wasabi. All really well done and tasty. We will definitely be back.
Be the first to ReplyWow this place is a gem.
My first Omakase experience and I was so blessed. And luckily it was my bday so I got a special birthday dish. But even besides that. It was the best sushi I have tried hands down. Each flavor and selection is superb and the ownership hospitality is top notch. Shout out to YI and Master chef Liam! His curations, care and positive nature was a joy to share on my bday. God bless this place and can't wait to come back. For 80$ this was insanely worth it. As each item would have cost over 150$ by itself. Namaste
Be the first to ReplyI cannot speak more highly of Sushi Omakase! I have loved
I cannot speak more highly of Sushi Omakase! I have loved sushi my entire life but this hour long Omakase experience takes it to the next level. Chefs are experts in their field, sushi is of the highest grade, and the experience is so well curated. It is BYOB with no cork fee and they serve you your bottle(s), and you can order an additional course of you favorites. Owner was so present and friendly! One of the best dining experiences I've had in NYC!!!!!!
