The best omakase I’ve had. Intimate/one of a kind experience. Highest quality produce, the very best from Japan.

The space is clean and modern and staff are welcoming. The chef Anthony was super friendly knowledgeable! Fish are amazingly fresh rice was also really good. I grew up in Japan so I’m pretty familiar with sushi restaurants but even among those, Shota is one of my favorites!

At the top of the best omakase experiences I’ve ever had. Chef Chen is a sushi muse — so knowledgeable about each and every ingredient and how they combine to make each bite pure magic. So happy to have this in the hood and can’t wait to go back!

If you’re looking for an exception dinner this is the place. From the moment you walk in you feel like you’ve been transported to Japan. The waiters are attentive, knowledgeable, and there to ensure you have a fine dining experience. The food though… INCREDIBLE. Each dish somehow was better than the last through and through.
I would say the best part though was our Chef, Anthony. His spirit was warm and welcoming. He went above and beyond for our dinner experience which made the evening even better.
If you want to experience one of the best Omakase experiences in NYC, come to Shota.

Terrible. Food came out on trays like a cafeteria. Fish was all lightly smoked to cover up the lack of freshness. They will then try and charge your card if you book through Resy even if you try and leave. Don’t give these thief’s your CC number!

$195 for 18 pieces. Definitely worth it for what I would consider the best omakase in NYC. The pieces were thick, I was full by the end, everything was higher quality and fresher than anywhere else I’ve been, and there were some pieces that were done slightly differently than other omakases, which kept things new but tasty without being too extra. Some examples include directly searing the black perch with hot coal, or serving the final tamago piece as a roll with rice and marinated gourd, which I’ve only had served like this when I was in Japan. They also paid attention to the temperature and composition of the rice to include 5- versus 7-year aged vinegar based on how strong the flavor of the fish was. Service was exceptional. Our chef, D, was professional and such a pleasure. The country music was a bit odd but otherwise everything else was more than worth the cost, which would normally get you smaller pieces and lower quality in Manhattan.

The Sushi Guide
Brooklyn’s best sushi restaurant, with one of the best bites of salmon I’ve had, a remarkably buttery appetizer from a very very strong addition to NYC’s ever growing sushi scene. Omakase for $195 includes 18 courses at the new Shota in Williamsburg. Opening this week by Chef Cheng who comes from Tribeca favorite Ito. Quality and craftsmanship all around, and also a good value which is hard to find these days

This place by far is one of the most top notch omakase experiences I had in my life. Very professional, very tasty high quality service. Highly recommended
Easily one of the best omakase in the city. The otsumami was fantastic, and I really the nigiri. The rice is very unique. Loved the flavor.It’s also a perfect ambiance. High end but relaxed. People talking and laughing. Not the silent / formal vibe you get at some spots in Tokyo and nyc. (Which I always find kinda weird)

Absolutely outstanding edomae style omakase. For the price range, can't be beat. Chefs are lovely and the quality of ingredients they use punches waaaaaay above it's weight.

The English language has roughly one million words. Unfortunately there’s not one yet good enough to describe the quality of shota, truly phenomenal.
