Omakase Shihou (Shiro) is a hidden gem on the Upper West Side, offering a delightful dining experience. The intimate space, clad in light wood, sets the perfect tone for a relaxed and refined meal. The lunch omakase is an incredible value at just $49, including an appetizer, nine pieces of sushi, miso soup, and dessert. The chefs are super nice and take their time to ensure each dish is perfect. Each piece of sushi is fresh, artfully prepared, and includes a few delightful surprises. The salmon sushi is fragrant, and the scallops are sweet with a hint of fishiness. The sea urchin sushi is very fresh, though the seaweed could be crisper. The meal concludes with a comforting akamiso soup and a refreshing matcha mochi dessert topped with arare. The omakase experience is unique, with each course presenting a new adventure, from the house-made ginger to the A5 wagyu nigiri. The price is considered very fair for the quality of the offerings, and the service is excellent. It’s a wonderful prelude to an afternoon at The Met.
