Shhh omakase Reviews
The Omakase was so fresh and tasty. Service was phenomenal. Really enjoyed my time there and tasted the many different offerings from the chef.Brought my family along and they all agreed it was a great experience.I will definitely come back. It is reservations only at set time intervals. Place is cozy, which makes the food better because the chef is concentrating on creating food for a set amount of people.
October 11 · Tim LumGot in for the late seating on a Friday night. This place does not disappoint.From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, it was such a fun experience with delicious food. Everything was super fresh and well presented.The decor reminded me of the small restaurants in Tokyo.Highly recommend the 18 course dinner. I still ordered a few extra pieces after.The sake slushies sneak up on you, so be careful of those!I will absolutely be back next time I visit New York.Thank you Peter and Ed!
September 29 · Chris ChuyI had my birthday dinner here a couple weeks ago and I couldn't have been happier. My partner and I got the higher tier omakase. Every piece was exceptional, creative, and absolutely delicious. Some of the pieces just melted in our mouths and we were in food heaven. We drove in from NJ and had omakase at other places before, but shhh stood out the most to us. The combination of fish and different, intrinsic flavors just adds so much depth to each plate. The black sesame soft service ice cream at the end was the perfect, refreshing dessert to end the meal.We left feeling very happy and full. The service was phenomenal and the owner treated us like family. They gave special attention to us and it was an intimate experience.We even stayed after our meal was over to have some more drinks. The interior is very cozy and beautiful ambiance. We will definitely be back! (D&D)I have more photos but I maxed out on the capacity I can upload here... still remembering the flavors and tastes as I'm looking at the photos again!
February 07 · Doris P.FANTASTIC AFFORDABLE OMAKASE DINNER! Love the concept as the restaurant is hidden behind a soft swerve shop and they serve their soft swerve for dessert at the end! They also use fresh, quality ingredients and their omakase menu is so meticulously curated. I was told that they rotate their menu and ingredients every two weeks to ensure the freshest, most unique experience they can give to their customers. Ambience is also fantastic! Since the space is rather tight, it made for smooth and easy conversation with the other guests as well. Highly recommend this spot for a cute date night.
February 20 · Tiffany NianDelicately hidden in the streets of Chinatown, Manhattan, Shhh Omakase exceeded my expectations when looking for top quality sushi. Not only do they have beautifully plated sushi but they also have a great, friendly atmosphere. The soft pink lighting helps you relax and the workers, specifically Kat, engage you in simple yet fun conversations while you wait. Each bite of sushi will have you craving for more, and they even have their own ice cream in different flavors! Perfect way to cleanse your palate. Overall, I give Shhh Omakase a solid 5/5 stars without hesitation.
