We had such a great meal here! The omakase was thoughtful and full of unique twists — you can really tell the chef enjoys experimenting with flavors and presentation. We also had a really nice conversation with the chef throughout the night; he shared a lot about his inspiration and even recommended a bunch of other great restaurants to try. Overall an amazing experience — would definitely come back!

came for my birthday and absolutely loved it. we drove in from Virginia if that helps put it in perspective and i WILL be coming again next year. the entire omakase is such a unique experience and it’s nice to hear about where each fish is from or what is being made. i really wish i took photos but i was trying hard to simply focus on the experience.
the whole entire time i wished i could eat the sushi again and again but you only get one of each and around 12-13 items in total. the sake was amazing and the sparking wine i got for my birthday was very nice as well. so happy with my experience.

Graciously kind service. I never got her name, but she truly made the night memorable. The chef was amazingly fun and cool, bringing a relaxed and chill vibe to the evening. The minimalistic atmosphere perfectly complemented the experience. Every piece of sushi was a hit! Fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully crafted. From start to finish, it was a marvelous adventure. I highly recommend it. For the quality, it’s definitely worth it.

We came from D.C. and L.A. for my mom’s 70th birthday celebration and it was everything we could have wanted and more! The restaurant was beautifully designed with great views of the chef at work. Highly highly recommend the drink pairing menu. It was very thoughtful wine/sake list tailored by the chef that truly enhanced each course. The service was phenomenal, our waitress explained the origin of each beverage and included a birthday celebration finale. We even took pictures of some bottles because we knew we would HAVE to try those again. A once in a lifetime meal by a once in a generation chef. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

This has been the most DELIGHTFUL Dinner experience of our lives!! Quick background story: Coming here was pure coincidence as my mother (Marisol) & I were on our way to another restaurant and as soon as we walked by the restaurant and I read Omakase, I got so excited and we both agreed we had to stop by and check out the menu. Without any previous reservation, we walked in and with so much kindness, Jo (the host/dining attendant) welcomed us, explained the concept of the restaurant and said we could join. As we were about to be seated Marisol immediately recognized the chef!! She remembered him from a previous sushi restaurant over 15 years ago. I was shocked as we are not locals and we only visit NYC once or maybe twice a year for work. We immediately shared this with the absolutely amazing master chef, Shin! He was so delighted to know we were a return customer but at his new restaurant. Shin & Jo made sure we had the most lovely dinner. I even got emotional and teary-eyed because my dream is to one day go to Japan and have a traditional Omakase experience, and Omakase Room by Shin definitely made me feel like I transported to Japan! It felt very authentic, each course had a story to tell by Shin. It was quite impressive seeing Shin cook, prepare each dish with so much love and precision, all while he kept his station immaculately clean and also socialized with us in between courses.
Previous to this experience, Marisol had never been to an Omakase before and I’ve only gone once (nowhere near this experience!! Too modernized rather than traditional). We both left with so much joy and with full heart and belly! Aside from de exquisite meal, we had the best experience and it was all because of master chef Shin & Jo. We truly believe we were ment to stumble upon Omakase Room by Shin…No encounters are accidental, only destined. Until we meet again, friends!
With love from Puerto Rico,
Sisi & Marisol

Spent $700+ on dinner and sake. While the food was good, the chef continuously stared at my date and called her pretty in Japanese 3 times, once would be alright but 3 was creepy. He also played around with my food, for example, I ordered extra 2 piece salmon sake and he gave her 1 piece and started putting away everything and left my piece on the cutting board and forced me to ask for it which he then proceeded to laugh about it.

At Omakase Room by Shin, you don’t just eat—you embark. Slip behind the sliding door off an unassuming West Village street, and you’re whisked into a world of whisper-thin fish, wrist-flick precision, and wasabi with a purpose.
Chef Shin glides through the evening like a storyteller with a knife, weaving morsels of myth and mouthfuls of history between courses. One moment, you’re savoring Hokkaido scallop crowned with caviar; the next, you’re hearing tales of Tokyo’s Tsukiji market or how a specific vinegar is aged in barrels older than the chef himself. His patter is playful but never performative—like sushi stand-up with a PhD in provenance.
The sequence is splendidly paced. There’s buttery buri that melts into memory, fire-kissed nodoguro that makes you momentarily mute, and uni so bright it practically glows. Each bite feels intentional and inimitable—no repeats, no fillers, no lazy tuna cop-outs. Presentation leans toward minimalist magic: an amber slice of kinmedai resting on perfect pearlescent rice, brushed with tare like a final kiss.
With only a handful of seats, the setting feels sacred but never stuffy. Guests lean in, clink sake, and swoon collectively. It’s dinner as dialogue, as design, as delicate theater.
Yes, it’s a splurge. But for an evening of edible art, sharp wit, and unforgettable fish, Omakase Room by Shin slices straight to the soul.

These are unique dishes, many of them we tried for the first time. It’s a completely special culture, and our taste buds were delighted! Thank you!

My boyfriend wanted to celebrate his graduation with an omakase and we’re both happy we picked this one! Chef Shin’s nigiri is delicious, and combines the freshest ingredients from Japan. Very authentic.
The staff kindly recommended the sake to pair with our meal and it was uniquely floral and rich. They also have a great Japanese whiskey selection! I was surprised to see this rare Hakushu bottle so we both had a glass at the end 🙂
Highly recommend this place for date night or special occasion!

We came here for an anniversary and it did not disappoint!! I loved how intimate it felt and the hosts and chef took great care of us. We got the pairing and thought it was perfect with the menu. The fish was as fresh as it gets and the other dishes were incredibly flavorful. Will be back!
