Shinpi Omakase

“Shinpi is 10/10 without doubt. Bar seating lets you watch the chef prepare each piece live, and he’s happy to share details about every seafood selection. The vibe is calm and super cozy, service is friendly and welcoming. They serve premium uni straight from Japan, which tastes absolutely incredible. The full tasting menu delivers consistent outstanding bites from start to finish. Will definitely return again and again!👍🏻👍🏻”

“The absolute best omakase in NYC! I've tried many omakase restaurants throughout the city, and Shinpi is by far my favorite so far. The chef is incredibly attentive and detail-oriented, and you can truly see the thought and care that goes into every single piece. Every course felt unique, beautifully presented, and exceptionally fresh. The quality of the ingredients and the overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. I highly, highly recommend Shinpi to anyone looking for an unforgettable omakase experience!”

“Shinpi Omakase was absolutely incredible. We came to NYC for the first time and were craving sushi on our very first night. After deciding to try Shinpi, we quickly realized we made the right choice—it exceeded all of our expectations. From the food to the service, this was easily one of the best omakase experiences we’ve ever had. The ambiance was intimate, modern, and beautifully inspired by Japanese design. With only a small number of seats, the experience felt exclusive and personal, which made it even more special. Ren, Fiona, and Tony were all exceptional. Ren did an amazing job explaining each dish as it was prepared, and every course was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Tony was a fantastic assistant, and the appetizer he introduced to us was truly spectacular. Fiona provided outstanding hospitality throughout the entire evening, ensuring our water glasses were never empty and constantly refilling our sake glasses before we even had to ask. The attention to detail, quality of the food, and level of service made this a memorable experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for a top-tier omakase experience in NYC, I highly recommend Shinpi. It was such a special evening, and we’re already hoping to come back before our trip is over”

“If you’re looking for a quality omakase with great service, Shinpi is it! I’ve been to so many omakases in NYC but Shinpi is special. Chef Eric is so passionate about his job and also his customers, that it’s such a warm experience. Not to mention, the fish is so fresh and they have different pieces imported from Japan, such as butter fish, hairy crab and their uni! They are currently offering an endless uni experience at the end with a max of 20 pieces and it’s the best uni I’ve ever had. Their sake is great as well. Definitely worth a visit ◡̈”

“We went to Shinpi to celebrate an anniversary. Eric, the sushi chef, was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to throughout our dinner. We chose the 15 course menu, although the 15 course menu plus up to 20 pieces of uni was a tempting option. Some of our favorites included the oyster with uni and roe, the gold dusted Wagyu, king salmon, and Wagyu with uni. The staff recommended a bottle of sake to accompany our meal that was perfect according to our preferences. They celebrated our anniversary with a dessert and a special nostalgic song. I’ll save the song title as a surprise for anyone going in to celebrate a special occasion. We look forward to dining here again in the near future.”
