Have been here three times and more coming. THE BEST. Highly recommend for amazing sushi, extremely kind service (Eric the chef is wonderful), and certainly a fantastic bang for the buck. 11/10 experience.

Service was very nice, prepared alternative for shellfish allergy. The chef was very cute, he seemed to really enjoy his work, and it was contagious. Food was delicious, one of my alternatives was a wagyu hand roll which was delicious. Presentation was amazing, the gold sprayed nigiri was a spectacular showing. There was also an engagement close by which was really cool, they had a firework show. Overall, I’d like to go again! Thank you to Eric and the chef whose name I didn’t catch.

We decided we wanted omakase about 20 minutes prior on a Thursday evening and set off to locate some. We walked into Shinpi around 9:15pm and they sat us in the middle of the bar. It feels like a private chefs table.
Dare I say this was within my top 3 omakase’s I’ve had in the city. The attention to detail combined with the THICK cuts of fish— absolutely the thickest I’ve ever received. Every course was delicious down to the double skim dessert. The chef was engaging and even let us try some of his special sake. Will definitely be recommending this to my fellow omakase enthusiasts.

I had a great time here at Shinpi and they were very accommodating seeing as I arrived an hour early to my reservation. The fish were fresh and paired well with what Chef Lin prepared from the toppings to the sauces. And the GOLD dust was everything and literally everywhere! 🤩 The setting was aesthetically pleasing, small and quiet so great to catch up with friends or as date night for couples. Would definitely wanna come back.

Great spot for a unique omakase experience! It was my first time there, the staff was very friendly and everyone treated us like family, we went with the 18pc course every single item was yummy, We were told some of the crab/fish were even flown in from japan that same day, everything was super fresh. Thank you for a awesome dinner!

I had the pleasure of dining at Shinpi Omakase and was treated to an exceptional 18-course meal that was nothing short of spectacular. Each course, from the appetizers like the delicate cold noodles and flavorful Kamamoto oysters to the array of sushi nigiri featuring fluke, black cod, king salmon, and more, was meticulously crafted and beautifully presented.
The highlights for me were the Hokkaido uni, which melted in my mouth, and the A5 Wagyu, which was richly marbled and incredibly tender. The O’Toro caviar was another standout, offering a luxurious burst of flavor. Ending the meal with a delightful sweet osmanthus dessert was the perfect conclusion to this culinary journey.
The ambiance of the restaurant, combined with the attentive and knowledgeable service, made my visit to Shinpi Omakase a memorable one. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an extraordinary omakase experience in the city.

Shinpi is one of my favorite omakase experiences I’ve had in New York! The atmosphere is very calming, it reminded me of a spa with essential oils and tranquil music playing in the background. The place is very intimate seating around 10 people at the bar.
We had chef Eric and Devon prepare our 18 piece omakase meal. They were extremely tentative and continuously asked if the rice, fish, soy sauce, and wasabi ratio was to our liking and to let them know if it ever wasn’t. They even provided us with some complimentary sake.
Every dish was prepared so beautifully so I couldn’t help but take pictures of EVERYTHING. My favorite having been the “French toast” and uni. I typically don’t love uni, but this uni was so so buttery and flavorful it changed my perspective on uni. Additionally, I felt this omakase experience provided us with many dishes that contained uni (~4-5?) which I feel it more generous than other omakase places. So if you’re an uni lover, this is a great spot for you.
The team that night was Eric, Devon, and Jojo and they provided a warming welcoming environment. Rated top 2 omakase spots in NY in my book!

Shinpi Omakase is a culinary journey that exceeded every expectation! Chef Eric and his team made the entire experience both memorable and fun!
The 18-course dinner was full of flavors and textures, starting with a delightful four-course appetizer that included delicate cold noodles and the most flavorful Chawan Mushi I've ever had. The Kumamoto oysters and Hawaii Amber Jack sashimi were fresh, vibrant, and expertly prepared.
The sushi nigiri courses were outstanding. The O'Toro with caviar was a showstopper, especially when Chef Eric finished it with a light spray of gold flake powder—a touch of elegance that made the experience fun and special! The King Salmon, Hokkaido Uni, and A5 Wagyu were also highlights.
What made the evening even more fun was the creative ways Chef Eric presented the nigiri, and the sake pairing was definitely worth it!
If you're looking for an omakase experience that combines great service, excellent presentation, and unforgettable flavors, Shinpi Omakase is the place to go.

The seasoning combination is completely careless. The marketing is too exaggerated. The taste is very ordinary. Fresh ingredients are piled together. There is no connotation of the chef. It is not worth a try. You can choose a more cost-effective restaurant or a better restaurant. Mosquitoes are everywhere and there is no experience.

Prime example of bromakase. More about the name of the ingredients and their prestige than their quality and the way they are creatively assembled. Chef was nice and experience overall pleasant, but it is possible to do quite a bit better at the price in NYC. Setting in very small storefront is also slightly strange. Only other two people there.
