Omakase Shihou (Shiro) - Midtown

Great omakase experience tucked away on second floor of neighborhood restaurant. High quality food and excellent service. We took our infant son here as well - they gave us space in the corner of the bar and they treated him like a prince. Highly recommend coming here. Overall great value

Great food, great experience.

Omakase Shiro is an absolute gem for sushi lovers. Every bite feels like a little masterpiece. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the flavors are perfectly balanced especially the Wagyu, o-toro, and the red snapper belly (if I got that right). The richness of the Wagyu, the melt-in-your-mouth o-toro, and the delicate, buttery snapper belly… honestly, I could go on forever.

The ambiance adds to the experience—cozy, elegant, and intimate, making it feel like a special occasion even on a regular night. The staff are attentive, friendly, and really make you feel taken care of, while the chef’s skill and creativity shine in every plate. From presentation to flavor, it’s clear a lot of thought goes into every detail.

The only small thing I’d note is that I mentioned it was my friend’s birthday when making the reservation, so a little candle on the dessert would have been a nice touch—but it didn’t take away from the incredible experience.

If you love sushi and omakase, this place is a must. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit!

Our server timed every dish perfectly and explained each one very carefully. She was lovely. The sushi was amazing...we all swooned and cannot wait to return. The only disappointment,for two of us out of five, was the hand roll . It was very quiet, and a very lovely room. It is a resent to be missed!

Incredibly omakase experience and great service

Definitely 5 out of 5!!

Excellent sushi and service was great. The $155 price tag is a bit steep in comparison for the total value, the only thing keeping this from truly five stars. Uni is some of the best I’ve ever had.

I love this place, I've been here 3+ times and every experience has been wonderful. The omakase is great! The flavors are great and the fish is so high quality! The staff is attentive and accommodating. They also offered complimentary dishes to us based off of our favorite dishes. I look forward to coming back!

Chefs were very charismatic. Dining experience was excellent. Food was immaculate.

The donburi, in particular, was the most delicious thing that's ever touched my tongue.

Anyone that gives this place less than 5 stars is completely pretentious and incorrect. Not only was the food so fresh and delicious, the service was excellent and the people were very genuine. As for atmosphere I haven’t felt more relaxed leaving a restaurant, it’s almost like I spent 2 hours at a spa, it was amazing. This place is worth the money and I cannot recommend enough. I’ve been to multiple other omakases through NYC and the US and this one is definitely in my top. If you don’t want to pay for the amount that is well advised in advance then don’t come.

We went for a birthday dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not a place that you will be in and out quickly, but the experience was well curated and the appetizers and sushi were really great. Watching the chef make everything at the counter service was definitely worth it!
