Each omakase experience at Shinzo Omakase is designed to be completed within one hour (60 minutes). We kindly ask all guests to arrive promptly, as we operate on a strict schedule with five daily seatings at 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM, 7:00 PM, 8:00 PM, and 9:00 PM. We’ve recently launched a lunch omakase service, available from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM with two sessions daily. Each lunch session serves up to 6 guests, led by one dedicated chef, while the remaining chefs focus on prepping for dinner service. Lunch is a more intimate experience with limited seating—perfect for those looking to enjoy a quieter mid-day sushi session. Both Lunch & Dinner Session are priced at $69.00 a person for the omakase tasting menu. Shinzo remains a hidden gem cherished by discerning New Yorkers who appreciate both quality and exclusivity. Our omakase is crafted daily by a team of skilled chefs with experience at some of New York City’s most acclaimed sushi establishments. We do not offer a fixed menu—each course is created based on the freshest ingredients sourced from Japan and around the world. We’re also pleased to offer a selection of beer and sake available for purchase on-site. For added flexibility, we also welcome BYOB (bring your own bottle) with no corkage fee. Please note: Only guests in the 9:00 PM seating may enjoy an extended 90-minute experience, concluding at 10:30 PM. Visit our website to explore the latest beer and sake offerings.
“Nice small restaurant with great food and staff. Very welcoming from arrival and exceptional service throughout. The sushi fish quality was good. There was no over the top presentation and this allowed for you to taste the fish itself. Super fresh quality. They have a nice add on menu if you want some more cuts of fish. They allow you to bring your own alcohol which is a nice factor not being tied down to what they have. Will be back soon.”
“My first omakase experience and this place was fantastic! Loved all the sushi and efficient friendly service. We had beers and sake alongside the sushi tasting menu and it was perfect. The fish was incredibly fresh and tons of unique flavor parings. Absolutely would love to return !”
“Best place to introduce your friends to Omakase! The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is a chill and casual vibe. On top of that, the fish was surprisingly affordable for such fantastic quality. A couple favorites were the Sablefish with yuzu pepper and the Salmon with Foie gras. And big thanks to Danny for the cash back discourse and the cup of ice!”
“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!”
“The experience felt rich from the first bite to the last. I chose the 13-piece omakase, and it unfolded with quiet confidence and a lot of intention. What stood out most was how the menu was composed. Each course seemed to speak to the one before it. Two expressions of salmon arrived close together, inviting comparison. Later, several cuts of bluefin followed in sequence, each revealing a different texture and depth of flavor. It felt like a conversation with the fish rather than a parade of dishes. The fact that the fish is delivered the same day and filleted in-house showed in every bite. There were moments that lingered. The return of the Scottish salmon & wagyu flavors tucked into the hand roll, rich and comforting. Everything was clean, precise, and thoughtfully presented. Sky presented the omakase with an artist’s calm, while Danny anchored the evening with warm hospitality and easy conversation. Together, they turned a rainy winter day into something quietly memorable. Grateful for the care, the craft, and the experience.”
