We ordered both 12 piece and 17 piece omakase. They were both amazing! They had some unique sushi; pairing of sashimi with some sort of different texture or taste, so it gave different flavor! My favorite was unagi!! The crispy pop with finely mixed unagi was chefs kiss. Chef was super professional and kind. He always replaced an ingredient or sushi you don’t like with equal great piece that it felt like a nice personal touch/service. As for the server, she wasn’t my favorite due to her random and abrupt approach within my personal space but I think she meant well. I would appreciate the menu or ipad not being shoved in my face randomly during the meal or conversation. Otherwise, it was an amazing experience. The cost is very good for the quality you get. Highly recommend!

Nice little omakase restaurant, very good service. Food was fresh, raw fish was room temperature, all servings made before your eyes. Otoro was the best but their specials like Winter and Summer creations were really good, $18 each.
Had the 17 pieces omakase. Menu was standard and the items were decent. Serving size of the sushi pieces varied from small to regular.
Not much conversation or interaction with the chefs as they were quiet and busy making the foods. I had better omakase experience with chefs.
Decent prices for the amount of food.

Great quality, flavorful, and very well done omakase at a reasonable price. Had the 17 course menu for $100 at lunch time. They also offer a 12 course menu for $65. Both menus offer a good variety of fish and flavor combinations. The courses are definitely more classic and traditional but well done and tasty.

The interior is small; feels like proper Japan. But it’s a comfortable noise level — some quiet background music, which makes it easy to talk.

The omakase chefs don’t really explain much about the food — they just name the fish and dish when they serve you. You can see how they prepare everything right in front of you. The pace of the courses are good. Nice attention to detail from the chefs: I’ve been here twice and both times when the chef noticed that I was left-handed, they placed the food at the different side of the plate.

Service is attentive and quick.
The second time I was here, we were celebrating my sister’s birthday. At the end, they dimmed the lights, switched from their mellow instrumental background music to 50 Cents – In Da Club playing on high volume, gave my sister a sparkler, and served her another sushi course with a candle, and the entire team danced to the song for about 30 seconds. Best birthday recognition I’ve ever seen from a restaurant staff.

Was able to snag a resy at this place very last minute (I think day of) for the last 3 seats at the bar at the last serving time they had on a Saturday night. The way this meal changed my entire mood in a short 90 minute seating. This was some of the best omakase I have had in the city and for the best price I’ve been able to find. The fish was fresher than could be and every single course was delectable and yummy. I left actually feeling pretty full (which can be tough at omakase experiences sometimes) and throughly enjoyed the entire dining experience. Even though we were the last ones at the bar, they never rushed us and made our time together really special. Would love to bring a big group and take over the entire sushi bar, it was that good!!!

Shiki Omakase completely blew me away — this place sets a whole new standard for sushi. Every single bite was perfection, but the wagyu and toro topped with caviar honestly changed my life. The texture, the flavor, the melt-in-your-mouth richness… I still dream about it.

You can tell the chefs here care deeply about every detail — from the freshness of the fish to the pacing of the courses. It’s refined but not pretentious, and every plate feels like a work of art.

And the best part? For the quality and experience you’re getting, the price is unbelievably reasonable. I kept thinking, “How is this not double the cost?”

I’m already plotting my next trip back to NYC just to eat here again. If only Shiki would open a location in California — I’d be their most loyal customer. 10/10, completely unforgettable experience

This was the first Omakase experience and it was amazing. I reserved this place for my partners birthday and they did not disappoint! One of the first things I noticed was the attentive staff and the attention to detail. Our reservation was for 5pm and we arrived 10 minutes before they opened and patiently waited outside, the host actually invited us in before they opened. We chose the 17 course and OMG I liked each and every piece. The drinks were also very good and paired well with our dishes. My partner had a great time and also loved the experience. Will we go again? YES! honestly this place is a bit dangerous because it is so easy to spend a lot but we did not regret it!

This would’ve been an easy five stars, but the BYOB situation was a bit frustrating. They charge a $20 corkage fee per bottle, which wasn’t listed on their website or on Resy, so that was a surprise.

That said, the sushi was really fresh! The chef was friendly and attentive, on top of the ginger, and the waitress stayed consistent of refilling water. Aside from the corkage hiccup, the pricing felt reasonable for the quality. I ordered a Wagyu hand roll and the Wagyu with foie gras on toast, both were AMAZING!

Overall, I still had a good experience and would recommend it, just be aware of the corkage fee if you’re planning to BYOB.

It was quite disappointing because the staff was in a rush; they wanted to close the restaurant for their break, and our entire omakase experience lasted only 30 minutes. So we left feeling that it was not worth it.
The food overall was good, and we believe that in different circumstances, we would enjoy it more.

My siblings and I went here for my birthday dinner when we were visiting and were greeted warmly at the door. The staff was so kind and helpful, they always asked us how we were doing and if we needed anything, and the service overall was great.

One thing that stood out to me was that when the chef realized that I was left-handed, he started positioning the rolls for me in a position where it was easier for me to pick up with my chopsticks. Such a small little detail, but one that I noticed and appreciated so much! Even when I was in Tokyo, the chef sometimes forgot to give me the roll the left-handed way.

My siblings told the staff that it was my birthday, so towards the end of the service, they dimmed the lights, played In da Club, and gave me a sparkler to play with, as well as an extra roll.

The nigiri itself was delicious, the fish was so fresh and flavorful. My favorite was the Toro & Caviar and A5 Wagyu & Uni pieces. My experience here was great and I would highly recommend this establishment!

We loved every second of our experience at Shiki! We tried 3 Omakases while in NYC, and this one not only was open for lunch, but it was the most affordable without sacrificing quality! We will definitely be back!
