Great value. Not traditional omakase but left feeling happy and having eaten a lot of fish.
Don’t overthink : go! The best accessible omakase style sushis you would find in NYC. Fantastic Tuna, marvelous uni, delicious sweet shrimps. Perfect service and drinks.
Easily one of the best-value omakase experiences in NYC. I’ve tried 5+ omakase spots ranging from $69–$350 per person, and this is the only one where I immediately thought, “I need to come back.” The vibe is fun and laid-back, and the sushi is incredibly fresh. Loved every minute and every bite.
Delicious omakase. Every bite was perfect from start to finish. We loved it! Went to celebrate my birthday, we were able to bring in our own wine. This was a great experience. Would highly recommend!
We were seated over 10 mins after our scheduled time and the omakase was much quicker than I have experienced in other places (it was supposed to be for an hour but finished in half an hour). I think they like to take the last 15-20 mins or half an hour to let people order more food but it becomes a non-enjoyable and super quick experience for people who are just there for the omakase.
We’ve been to a few omakases in the city around the same price point and Shinzo has been one of the most disappointing experiences. The fish were prepared very sloppy which made it look very unappetizing.
Went for a guys weekend visit to NYC and this was the highlight of the weekend. Incredible service, top tier omakase and a fantastic value. Paid twice as much for not as good quality food or service, will definitely revisit my next trip to New York.
Amazing service and fresh fish. Accommodated to allergies and gave a complimentary dish for my birthday. Props to the chef and server.
I knew I was in for something special. There’s a sense of hospitality here, not the pretentious kind that tries too hard, but the genuine feeling that every bite will blow someone’s mind. Mind blown.
Let’s begin with the adorable baby squid, delicate, flavorful, and a reminder that great things often come in small packages. Sorry, mama squid!
Then came the Otoro, tasting like luxury in its purest form, melt-in-your-mouth, rich, and impossibly smooth. When I thought things couldn’t get any better, the wagyu arrived. A perfect harmony of creamy goodness made me wonder if life just peaked right there.
The meal was perfectly paced, with warm yet attentive hospitality, and every detail in the servings felt like true artistry. Not sure about BYOB, but going solo definitely has its perks. I enjoyed the house's Sake, and the chef's Sake is quite good. There's also a hidden bottle under the counter in the fridge that's even better.
Shinzo is the place to go if you’re looking for a spot that respects tradition while elevating every bite. I walked in hungry and left grateful, already thinking about when I'll return in my quest to visit every Omakase in NYC.

They provided a serene and exquisite dining experience. The ambiance is peaceful and sophisticated, allowing you to fully enjoy each meal. The flavors are subtle, but each bite makes a lasting memory. I admired the chef's ability to balance textures and flavors, as well as the meticulous pacing of the meals. It's the type of location where you can relax, appreciate the artwork, and feel utterly pampered.
