Omakase Shihou (Shiro) - Midtown

What an AMAZING omakase experience - if you are in New York visiting or if have doubts, I recommend coming here. There was a parking garage around the corner and we were a couple minutes early but they sat us right away. It's located upstairs above another restaurant. From when you sit down to when you leave, everyone is so attentive and so nice. Great customer service. We opted for a limited edition bottle of sake which was actually sold out but the one they recommended to replace it was actually better. The two servers were very nice and our chef was amazing as well. Each course was absolutely delicious and my favorite was definitely the waygu topped with uni. I wish I wrote down everything I had but I would most definitely be coming back. Worth it!

Great Omakase place. My first Omakase and they made my experience awesome. They explained every course and were very nice about telling the story behind the food. Very reasonable and great atmosphere. Kei was great.

I came here for my birthday the other day and I can’t express how much I enjoyed the experience at Omakase Shihou. It was a bit awkward at first because we were the only ones there for a while, but the Kei and the rest of the staff made us feel comfortable and joked around with us. All the appetizers and nigiri pieces were delicious and fresh. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Sub-par omakase for the price. whole place felt scammy. waitress tried aggressively to upsell us on sake, and charged us an arm and a leg for water without offering a tap option. wouldn’t go back

Honestly this was my favorite omakase I have ever been to, not only for the quality of the food but the charming service. Our chef and other hosts were so friendly that it quickly became my favorite dinning experience ever. Each dish was so creative and delicious. I am from SF/LA so my standard for fish quality are very high and this place really exceeded my standards.

Best omakase we've had! Every course was fantastic. Expensive but worth the price. Really enjoyed our evening here.

Phenomenal food and warm hospitality making for an overall excellent (and fun!) dining experience. The premium omakase is beyond worth it: the wagyu, the toro with caviar, the seabream, the scallop with truffle—amazing. They didn’t overlook a thing. One of my favorite omakase experiences to date. Especially if you’re lucky enough to have Kei as your host.

Kei is incredible - if you’re lucky enough to have her, you’re gonna have a great time! The food is some of the best I’ve had - I recommend the wagyu, sea bream, and toro in particular, but you really can’t go wrong with any of their options. Recommend pairing with some sake for the best of nights!

BEST OMAKASE IN NYC. The quality here is as good as it gets. The service is incredible always. The chefs are extremely talented and accommodating. The fish they have is always fresh and different. They do have speciality fish some nights which you can try. The price is more than fair you truly get what you pay for here. The experience is always 10/10.

What a gem!! The food here is super good and the atmosphere is intimate and fun. If you have the lucky privilege of meeting Kei, you will be happy. She is amazing! Super friendly, funny, and does a great job explaining the dishes and being empathetic to folks who may not know each dish. Don’t think twice — go here!!
