Shoshaku - Amazing food! Best in Great Neck. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Great Neck, New York

Got takeout and tried a few sushi rolls, takoyaki, and mentaiko udon. The sushi was good, definitely thought the takoyaki would come with 6 for the price rather than 4, and the mentaiko udon sauce was good but the egg was super over cooked. read more

There was no one here at 4pm on a Saturday and I was hungry and saw that the menu had a great variety of sushi and fried rice platters of different meats. They got squid fried rice too! Decided to get a sashimi platter dinner, which includes salad and soup. The salad dressing is the bomb and I cleaned it off. The soup was not as salty as I thought it would be. When the platter came out, the sashimi was paired with broccoli, baby corn, and carrots. The sashimi was pretty good though. The vegetables on the side weren't that great and were very raw. Not cooked well. Had to take the fried rice to go because I couldn't finish it. read more

The sashimi was very very thin slices. The service was not good at all. We sat down and waited for like 20 minutes to Oder our food. One waitress ran the whole place. She was the take out orders taker, cashier. Wait tables. I have asked for hot tea. Rice supposed to come with Sashimi dinner, she omitted it if you don't ask. at last, when you pay the bill she stood beside you for tips. read more

Solid sushi spot in Great Neck! It's not a huge space so it's something to be aware of if dining in. However, no issues with the space that they have. I ordered the 1980's (salmon with avocado with tuna and with some more salmon and avocado), Captain Jack (an eel based roll), and Good Call (a crunchy tuna sushi roll). Definitely loved everything I got here! read more

Great food. I often order the Su-Sa or Shoshaku. The omakase is awsome too. Great place for a nice meal

Met here for dinner which was midway for both parties to meet up. Sashimi was ok, had fresher quality fish before. The carpaccio had way too much mixed greens under each piece of yellowtail so if you take a slice with the greens you don't taste the fish (yes, you can also eat the yellowtail alone). The appetizers were basic nothing too exciting. On the smaller side, not much decor to make it feel like you're in Japan. Wasn't too crowded the service was slow didn't check in much. Didn't quite give me that authentic Japanese cuisine ambiance feeling. read more

Went in for lunch this Saturday afternoon. I was the only table in the restaurant, which might explain why service felt... absent. Two waiters were there but having their own lunch. No one ever checked in to ask if everything was okay--not once. I ordered the shoshaku set for two. The sashimi itself was fresh and enjoyable. Tuna slices weren't cut through, but that didn't take away from the quality. What did disappoint: for a $90 set, the wasabi was the cheap pre-made paste, the kind you'd expect at a buffet--not freshly grated, which I'd expect at this price point. The meal started with miso soup and salad. The miso soups were completely different colors--clearly not stirred before pouring. Overall four stars for food quality and two stars for dining experience. Worth trying if you're here for the fish, but they really need to tighten up the service and execution. read more

Pretty good local Great Neck sushi restaurant. All the sushi & sashimi is prepared fresh and reasonably priced. The restaurant is not big but plenty of elbow room nonetheless. Staff is pleasant and well mannered. Overall a pleasant experience. My only concern for not giving a five star review is their miso soup is on the thin side, meaning lack of miso paste. In addition, the ginger dressing in their house salad is pretty watery. Maybe it was just an isolated incident, but let's see next time. read more

3.25 When you've visited a restaurant several times over the past few years, they must be doing something right. Whether it's the food, service, ambiance, or all of the above, something keeps drawing you back. This is how my wife and I felt about Shoshaku. However, during my last few visits, things have changed. If I had reviewed this place years ago, it would have received a 4.5 rating. Unfortunately, these days, I can only give it a 3.25. On the positive side, the pricing is definitely a highlight here. Their specialty rolls are reasonably priced, with almost all of them under $20 each. Some of the good ones we had this time included the Middle Neck Roll and the Outside the Box. The Geso Karrage (fried squid) and the Chicken Nanban (chicken nuggets) were fried and seasoned well. However, there were several issues this time around. Many of the drinks on their menu were unavailable. I can understand this happening once, but multiple offerings were not readily accessible. The veggie chips served with the Holy Grenade were so stale that they smelled terrible. When we informed the server, she smelled them and immediately apologized. This was an easy call to avoid serving. When they brought out new chips, it was clear they had simply opened a new bag. The Spicy Naruto wasn't spicy at all and seemed poorly rolled, as it immediately unraveled. One of my favorite dishes in the past, the Creamy Mentai Udon, was a bit under-seasoned (perhaps due to a lack of roe), and the poached egg was overcooked. The final straw was that the two servers seemed quite disorganized. When we asked for our check, they appeared to have completely forgotten and we waited about 10 more minutes before we were able to receive our check. I hope Shoshaku addresses some of these issues. It is a cute restaurant, and their food used to be really solid. read more

Worst Japanese restaurant! I decided to try this place because of their good reviews. We ordered Sashimi and Sushi Combo and Oyako Don. Considering its price I did not expect to have high top notch quality, however I never had such a dry sushi rice in my life. Sashimi looked like they sliced the chunk of fish from the market. They need to hire a decent chef who at least knows how to handle raw fish. Their Oyako Don was just dry mixture of mushroom and egg on top of the rice. They do not know how to make Donburi for sure. On top of this, I had to ask for new cup because it was not washed properly. This place seriously needs to get inspected. Never going back. read more

I've tried this place a few times, and it had become my go-to spot for sushi/sashimi. Not owned by Japanese ppl, but their food is actually pretty good. They offer lots of options- including omakase, special rolls, tapas, donburi bowls, noodle & fried rice, and lunch specials. The service is always quick and friendly. My son loves their stuff as well. We usually get the hamachi kama, yellow tail sushi, the hot mama roll is my fave, toro truffle rolls, inari sushi, crispy rice with either spicy tuna or salmon and sashimi combo. Everything tasted fresh & tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. Truly a hidden gem- worth trying them out! read more

Shoshaku is a reliable solid sushi place that always delivers regardless of what you order (sushi, sashimi, any of the hot items, etc). On top of that, the service is great too. I'm not sure what her name is, but the lady with the short hair/bangs is so kind and it's clear that there are regulars at this place and rightfully so. If I ever work in this area again, I'll 100% be back. read more

Stepping into Shoshaku seemed pleasant enough - a typical Japanese restaurant with clean and uninspiring decor. Overall it looked like a safe bet which is exactly what it turned out to be. The menu was predictible. We ordered an appetizer, several rolls and a noodle dish. Our suspicions were confirmed. There was nothing memorable here. Rolls were fine. Prepared well enough but bland and noodle dish was flavorless. They tasted just like every other rolls and noodles we've had. There was nothing overtly bad about the food or service other than racid tasting chips that were served with our appetizer but we walked away without a single memory or experience that would bring us back. In a way the blandness of Shoshaku makes it more disappointing than if it had been outright terrible. A truly bad restaurant where maybe the decor is ridiculous, the food is poorly cooked in a way that is almost humorous or the service is wildly unpredictable - at least that gives you something to talk about. Sometimes bad is better than mediocre. The next time you end up in a restaurant that forgets and misses spectacularly... at least it wasn't blandly forgettable. read more

Went with my wife for her birthday, overall experience with the food and the pace that the food came out was good. Very accommodating with the kids and baby that came along. Not too crowded. Went during lunch and it seemed a little busy. The waitress had the nerve to ask for more tip and complained when I already paid even though I was gonna tip on the table. (she became quite rude and obnoxious) The waitress stood next to me the entire time as I was paying too. read more

Just visited for the second time today while in the area. Solid place, solid food, amazing prices (especially for the lunch special, pictured). While not particularly memorable experiences both times, this is a good place if you're craving sushi and want a place that will do the job, or are looking for a place that's quiet. Service is pretty laid back, so you need to be a little patient (at during weekdays in the middle of the day). Just nudge the staff if you need to pay quicker or have questions. Needless to say, I'd keep this on my list of restaurants to go to when in Great Neck. For what I was expecting and what I got, my review would be closer to 4.5. read more

I made reservations for my family to have our Mother's Day lunch here at 1pm. We were a few minutes late but seated right away! We noticed around 1:30pm, a lot more people started coming in and before we knew it, all the tables were filled. The restaurant is a lot smaller than I initially thought it would be; I think they can seat ~30 people in the whole restaurant so I could see there being a wait on a busy day We ordered 2 appetizers. The Hamachi Kama was really good, my first time having it! Super crispy, but the fish was still tender inside. A lot of other tables also ordered this. We also got the fried calamari which was okay. Good but a little small. For entrees, we got the Shoshaku Set for 2, one Same Old roll and a Gyudon for my brother since he doesn't eat sashimi. You get a soup AND salad for each entrée (the set and gyudon) so we ended up getting 3 soups and 3 salads, which we shared amongst the 4 of us. The gyudon came out first- very little beef but a lottt of rice. The flavor was good but I don't think I'd get this again. The ratio is very off! Needed probably double the amount of beef and could do with less rice too. The service was a little slower because they were really busy! We finally got our sushi. The set was really good, I didn't have any bad pieces and everything seemed really fresh. For dessert, we opted for the Yuzu cheesecake, green tea tiramisu and green tea crepe cake. I would pass on the desserts next time and go elsewhere. Both green tea desserts were frozen hard in some places making it difficult to eat with our plastic spoons. The yuzu cheesecake was decide but tiny and very subtle in flavor. Would still come back for their set and to try some new things! read more

We came to Shoshaku to try their lunch special deal, which is available Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm. We ordered take-out for two 3 rolls, which came with salad and miso soup - $15 each, and a Creamy Mentai Udon (outside of the special) - $15. I love sushi rice, and the chef did not portion the rice in a way that would overpower the roll. I was pleasantly surprised by how generous they were with the fish and filling. - Alaska roll was pretty standard, however, it did not have any roe on top and the salmon wasn't as sweet as I would have liked. 3/5 - Yellowtail roll and eel avocado rolls were delicious. No complaints. 5/5 - Spicy tuna and spicy salmon were good, however, I could not tell the difference between the two based on looks or taste. 4/5 Creamy Mentai Udon was creamy and flavorful. I would order this again, however, I have to deduct a point because the poached egg ended up being boiled and there was only a pinch of fish roe on the top. 4/5 Overall, we would definitely visit Shoshaku again to try out more dishes because the lunch special is a great deal. I'm always craving sushi, so it's nice to have found a place that is both affordable and has decent quality fish. read more

Delicious! Very impressed by quality and level of Japanese food. I was pleasantly surprised.

Actually mapped another restaurant and good thing I had time to search again. A new favorite. Fish was fresh and pretty food presentation. Lunch prices are great. I already like their poke bowl but liked the chirashi bowl better - maybe less chili oil but so tasty. Small place. Friendly staff. My dad was joking around with the lady helping us and she was laughing with us. read more

This is a great middle ground location between Queens (and Brooklyn) and Long Island. Parking: There are municipal parking lots on the side streets and street parking (25 cents per 30 minutes). We made reservations, thinking the restaurant would be crowded, and it wasn't because it was a dreary day. This restaurant was cozy and comfortable. The employees were polite and attentive with the tea cups constantly refilled without being asked and food was served quickly. Most importantly the fish was fresh. This explains why there were quite a bit of take out orders. We ordered some appetizers: - Yellowtail Carpaccio - Spicy Tuna Tartare - Agedashi Tofu - Geso Karaage - Saba Shio Yaki Our entrees: lunch specials Monday- Saturday (12PM-3PM) - Chirashi Lunch - Sushi and Sashimi Lunch - Sushi Lunch *Make sure you get your lunch order in before 3PM. The chef takes a break starting at 3PM. Thank you to the restaurant for letting us stay and catch up with each other over the delicious food. Definitely check this place out if you are in the neighborhood. read more

Not my first time here! I've ordered from here and also dined in prior to COVID. Always have a wonderful experience. Came on a weekday with my friend. It was a rainy day but a little rain doesn't stop me from coming here to get some yummy food. We came a little after 1pm, and parked on the street with meters not too far away. Make sure you carry quarters! The service is really friendly here. The staff seem very kind. The food is very fresh and tasty! We ordered 3 rolls each and a special roll (Outside the Box). I thought the special roll was mediocre though. Nothing special. I REGRET ordering 3 rolls myself because I couldn't even finish!! Next time I'll just get 2 rolls..... read more

Fantastic food and service here, really great hospitality and a huge menu with different items to choose from. Need to return to try rolls

New place in Great Neck to try! Came here with a friend and did not need a reservation on a weeknight. We shared the tofu, seaweed salad, and edamame to start, and I got miso soup as well. They were okay, but the soup was so thin and barely had any tofu and no kelp, so it didn't turn out to be the comforting soup I was craving. I got a cooked roll, the Outside the Box, which is snow crab, avocado, and mango inside, rock shrimp on top, soy paper. I really wanted to like it, but it was so tasteless and boring. It was like a middle schooler made it for a cooking class. I did not like it that much, but I was so hungry that I forwent the taste and ate it. I will say that the waitress was really on top of things and we got our items quickly, which was appreciated. Otherwise, this is quite an average sushi place that I don't think was worth the high price per person. read more

Bring your appetite! The salmon teriyaki pieces that come with the dinner box are huge, tasty and crispy. I always add sashimi/shrimp tempura so there's a little bit of everything. Then I finish off with dark green tea ice cream. Perfect ending. Small to medium size dining area, could get crowded during peak hours. Interesting decor! Service is quick and friendly even while packed. A must try in the Great Neck area!! read more

This is certainly one of the best sushi spots I have ever eaten at. I've tried some very popular sushi spots in Manhattan as well and this little sushi spot in Great Neck trumps almost all of them. My buddy & I are frequent visitors here & for good reason. The sushi quality here is VERY fresh. Everything from the salmon sashimi, pieces of yellowtail, red snapper, and tuna - every raw fish we tried was very good. This restaurant also does a good job of not serving so much rice with each sushi piece. This place definitely does not skimp with how much fish they give you per piece. My friends and I are looking forward to being frequent guests here. read more

Tried this place recently and was actually really impressed by the quality of fish. I loved all the rolls that we ordered and the sashimi quality was great! Fish was very fresh and had great flavor. The wait staff is incredibly attentive and definitely provided a+ service. All in all, I would definitely recommend Shoshaku. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Shoshaku was one of my first meals since coming back to NYC, and it was pretty good! The karaage was a little small for the price ($7), but it was nicely breaded, and I liked the side aioli. The chicken Katsu dinner was pretty standard but also did the trick. Lastly, the salmon poke bowl was fresh, but I would have liked the opportunity to customize it a little bit. Solid but not incredibly memorable. read more

Shoshaku is an amazing sushi restaurant. 5 stars, and to me 5 stars means outstanding and exceptionally good. One of the best sushi restaurants, with very good service. Read below to find more. ~food suggestions + food details~ The rice is very chewy and delicious while the sushi is very fresh. I would suggest getting the hot mama roll, which is a roll with seared salmon, mango, and delicious sauce. I personally love the spicy salmon hand roll (their hand rolls are delicious with crispy seaweed!) with avocado. The salmon lover is definitely one of my go to's if you are a salmon person like me! ~service details~ I've been to this place many times. It is one of my favorite restaurants . The first time I went I ordered three dishes for my family to share. We got the same dishes again the second time we went. The third time we went, however, the waiter already memorized our order as it was the same waiter we had from before. When we tried to order different sushi rolls, the waiter had remembered which rolls we didn't like. The waiter had supreme memory and is quite friendly as well. I have not ever encountered any issues all the times I have went. ~the atmosphere~ The restaurant is not particularly large. It is very clean and it should be easy to get a table, however, there may be some busy days where it may take a little while. The food comes fast, but on busy days it may take a while as they have a lot of online orders and people. ~end~ Shoushaku is an amazing restaurant and if you are considering going, turn the maybe to a yes. I hope this review was helpful. If it was, please mark it below! read more

A quaint intimate space in Great Neck. Good for small groups and date night diners too. The waitress my group of four had, was very attentive at refilling our tea and water throughout the evening. I think she managed the entire place on her own for the most part. Others were on hand to help her clean up the tables or bring out the food from the kitchen. However, she was the main wait staff overall now that I think of it. The place was about 3/4 full and a few tables with a reserved seating plaque noted. We were lucky to be one of them and didn't have to worry about being in a cramped spot. Onto the food: For starters, the grilled fish appetizer was really good - it was a combo dish of grilled salmon and grilled mackerel. This is a must have for fish lovers and aiming for cooked food. The tuna avocado ball with roe was really good, served with what looks like Terra brand veggie chips. Great presentation of ingredients. Creative spin on the guac and chips. The serving spoon is even pretty; shaped like a cross but has a perfect scoop size. It's the perfect appetizer to whatever you're eating next. Entrees: I measure every Sushi joint by ordering their Sashimi and uni (sea urchin). The sashimi was beautifully plated and each piece stood out on its own. The favorite on my plate being the salmon. The portion was perfect for one and if you're a small eater, you can probably share this entree as it comes with soup and house salad (must try the sesame dressing!!). The uni sushi pieces I ordered a la carte were only ok. Not worth the mention - tasted fine just wasn't memorable. My companions ordered noodles which I was told were very good but the portion was small. And the rolls were good: avocado and peanut. Simple/vegetarian friendly. Didn't touch the shrimp roll as I'm allergic but it looked really appetizing. read more

Shoshaku - Sushi Bars Near Me - Great Neck, New York

Nice, cozy sushi restaurant in Great Neck. We have been here twice and have had a good experience both times! The Food: 4.5 out of 5 I would highly recommend the Hamachi Kama (grilled yellowtail collar), which has a nice salty and lightly-charred taste to it, with tender white fish meat inside. I also enjoyed the Sushi/sashimi platters that has a variety of different options and can easily be shared by multiple people. The Yakiudon was made very well, with a creamy white sauce that had great flavor. The special roll 1980's was decent, but not my favorite. They also provide complimentary miso soup and salad as an appetizer. The Service: 3 out of 5 We didn't get a great feel from the servers during our second visit. The waitress wasn't in the best mood and was pretty curt throughout our meal. I don't remember our first visit to be like this, but hopefully it was just an off day. The Space: 5 out of 5 A great aspect about this restaurant is the simple yet elegant decor. There are several 2-4 person seats that are arranged throughout the smallish restaurant. You get a cozy vibe here. There is a decent amount of street parking around, but you may need to drive around a bit to find an open space. The Price: $$ Worth it? Yes! Give this place a try. read more
