Cute little restaurant on Middle Neck Road. Their tea had the roasted rice flavor which I loved and the staff are very attentive. Food was good. Our favorite was as the himachi. read more

This Japanese restaurant has really fresh fish. It's not that big inside so they definitely do get packed. It's also difficult to come in with a large party but I did see one there. The food came out pretty slowly and were in smaller portions than I expected. For food, I ordered rock shrimp and soft shell crab appetizers. The rock shrimp were small pieces of shrimp in spicy mayo sauce. It wasn't very unique and not the best I've had. The soft shell crab was just one piece, cut up. It was fried well and tasty. I also got the mentai yakisoba which was unique but underwhelming. It was a small portion and didn't have a lot of ingredients in it. But, the flavor was prominent. Lastly, the star of the dinner was the sashimi deluxe and their rolls. It was the last thing to come to the table but it was definitely better quality and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely come for the sushi! read more

I tried the gyu don here. You can see the exact portion of meat I got in the picture--portion of meat to amount of rice is small and sad. The actual taste of the food is good and the side salad and miso soup that came with the dish were excellent. But for $15 a meal slim pickings of beef aren't what I expect. Disappointing. read more

Good sushi. Good friendly service. My family always feels welcome when we eat here. Family Favorites are: Poke bowl, baby octopus , and salmon teriyaki teishoku, grilled mackerel, shrimp and veggie tempura, and most nigiri pieces and rolls are great. Kids like the Japanese ramune sodas. read more

We ordered a Philadelphia roll, spicy scallop roll and chicken teriyaki dinner for take out. It took about 35 minutes for the food to be ready. The Philly roll had a smoky taste to it that wasn't bad and had plenty of cream cheese and the scallop roll tasted fresh. The chicken teriyaki tasted good, but there was a small amount of chicken in my eyes, but I'm sure it's the standard size. If you pay cash, they knock 10% off. If you pay with a card, they have that ridiculous tipping part which is annoying because I'm getting take out, and you aren't providing me with a service like a waitress/waiter. read more

Excellent. Fresh sushi. Attentive, friendly service. Staff was very patient with my elderly father in law. Love the daily specials. Great presentation. They were out of uni when we visited. Hope to visit often and sample more of the menu. I have eaten here three times within a week. It's that good! Kitsune udon is superb. read more

Last minute Sunday dinner (9pm) and they graciously welcomed us even though they close at 9. The decor was clean and modest with a steampunk theme and we were the only guests in the restaurant. Our server appeared quickly and recommended the Shoshaku Special. We typically order the Omakase or sashimi only as we prefer the rice separate. The large "Special" for 4 was artfully presented on a large platter "a la familia". You eat first with your eyes and the presentation was quite stunning. The selections were all fresh and of good quality, comparable to that of most Manhattan authentic sushi restaurants. Their liquor license was awaiting renewal, so no beer or sake on this night. 3 additional tables were seated as we were nearing the end of our meal as passersby probably saw us sitting inside enjoying ourselves on a late Sunday. No pretense, no gaudy over-the-top pseudo "oriental" trappings, just well-prepared, fresh, Japanese-style cuisine in a refreshing, drama-free environment. All said, for a nondescript little neighborhood sushi place in charming Great Neck, this was a pleasant surprise and a satisfying experience. It's possible that we found a new neighborhood go-to sushi spot. Next time, the true test, sashimi only, update to follow... read more

An excellent local sushi option in GN. My husband got the 3x3 which came with 3 tuna, 3 salmon, 3 yellowtail and a salmon roll. One of each of the nigiri was a signature version of it, so one of the salmon was a house marinated version which was delicious according to the husband. The tuna was a Chutoro and was my husband's favorite. He also got the yellowtail scallion roll and spicy yellowtail, both were very good but I preferred the yellowtail scallion one. It just had such a clean, fresh taste to it. The rice to filling ratio was also very good. read more

3/5 food wise We ordered the Holy Grenade, Spicy Mako Combo, Su Sa Com, and the Creamy Mentai udon. The Holy Grenade is good. It's Terra chips (pretty sure) and avocado on top of salmon tartare. It could use some acidity. The sashimi and sushi rolls (tuna, yellowfin, and salmon) were mediocre. The taste wasn't as fresh but edible. For the sushi connoisseurs, this won't impress you. The Creamy Mentai udon was... interesting. It's basically a mushroom Alfredo with udon instead of pasta. For creamy/milk based sauces, there's a reason why you use pasta than a chewy noodle. The texture of the udon mixed with the sauce was a little weird for me but if you like a softer noodle in a Alfredo, you do you. (Also, it's VERY earthy) 5/5 for customer service The staff is very friendly and helpful! read more

Shoshaku - Creamy Mentai Udon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Great Neck, New York

Review for takeout for Mother's Day! I always choose Shoshaku when I want some decently high quality sushi that doesn't break the bank. We shared a Shoshaku set and two orders of the creamy mentai udon amongst our family of four. I liked how there was good variety in the Shoshaku set and every fish tasted fresh. The special rolls included were also very unique and aesthetically pleasing. They definitely could have included more, wasabi as my dad loves eating a lot to get that nasal burn. We could've done with just one order of the creamy udon because it did get quite heavy after a few bites, and the bottom of the container was very oily. I also wish they included more mixed in with the noodles to balance the heaviness of it, but it was mostly just udon noodles. I would order this again to share and maybe for takeout, add some extra noodles/toppings in myself. read more

Will return. This is a small resturant, with neat wood and pipes decors, recycling? Great! Food and service are good, clean bathroom (the hook ..). Like their varied tableware. It's Sunday night, all dinners are Asian except our table (minus me ha ha ha). At time, the noisy is deafening. For the past couple of years or so, I noticed the soy sauce on the table are low sodium, and they used to be in green caps, to indicate the low status, but now they're hard to tell. Not sure why - healthy? But is the low sodium healthier than the regular soy sauce? Also, the disposable chopsticks, inside a sealed paper pouch. I really don't like them but it seems more and more restaurants are using them. There are many kinds of chopsticks that are easy to clean... Save our world! Street parking, free after 6pm. There are parking lots nearby. read more

Had a spontaneous dinner at Shoshaku on a Friday night and frankly, didnt have any high expectations, but I was wowed! Firstly, service was so attentive and friendly. I had my kids with me and the waitstaff ensured my seating arrangement was comfortable for the entire family. We ordered multiple appetizers, rolls, chirashi and a sushi dinner for myself and everything tasted fresh and amazing. So glad we visited and will be sure to drip by again to try out other items. read more

We came on a Sunday for lunch around 12:30. It's not packed at all but I'm surprised for the quality of the food. We ordered toro don and sushi sashimi combo (the premium one) Damn.. Need I say less, just take a look at the presentation. It's delicious! One of the top sushi places in the Long Island area! Also, the server is very attentive, timely and friendly. 10/10 would recommend. Street parking outside the restaurant is usually packed though. read more

Impromptu Dinner meetup with another family our Party was 4 Adults and 4 kids. We're from Brooklyn so even the neighborhood was new to us. The restaurant is nestled in a cute street with small local shops and cute eats. Shoshaku is a tiny restaurant it was packed Saturday night we made it there at 6:30 and did not get seated until 7. The staff which was 1 person all night for all the Tables (5 tables that night, 2 huge family parties at the same time) was amazing friendly and super efficient. What we ordered: Black Cod with Miso Agedashi Tofu Ika Maruyaki Soft Shell Crab Kitsune Udon Una Gyu Don Shoshaku Set for 3 Everything was soooo Good! I'm very sensitive to fishy smells and Taste so I knew everything was fresh. I don't know who thought of it but it's the first time I had sushi and sashimi with chili oil drizzled on. I am craving for more. read more

This picture says it all. Even if this was a service animal (judging from the amount of head scratches it received, it wasn't), why on earth is an animal allowed to have a seat at a table. This dog sat at the table like he was a regular customer having his weekly sushi fix. I love dogs and have one myself. And I can say that when my dog does his little shake shake shake at home, a plume of dog hair flies everywhere. I've had to even pick out the occasional dog hair out of my food. So why would I pay good money to come to a restaurant to experience the same thing. Every time this animal shook himself, I cringed. Good grief people. This pandemic was hard on all of us. But let's not forget we live in a society. Leave your entitled pets at home. read more

Pros: + Sashimi deluxe was amazing! + Holy Grenade - so punny! + Friendly staff + Reasonably priced + Easy parking out back + Meal was well paced - you weren't waiting hours for the food and it didn't seem like they were trying to rush you out the door either Cons: - Omakase isn't quite what I was expecting for traditional Omakase, but still really well done read more

We've ordered take out and dined in at Shoshaku. Both experiences have been great. Sushi and rice are fresh and tasty. Better than the typical sushi restaurant on LI. I ordered the 1+1 lunch set for $15.00. It was a great value and I was able to split the meal with my 6-year-old. 2 rolls (yellowtail scallion & salmon avocado), udon, miso soup, salad, pickles. The fish was fresh and tasty. My son enjoyed his udon and broth. Pretty simple udon. Service was great and we were in and out quickly as we only had 35 minutes to eat.The only small complaint we had was being seated near the door where the cold air from outside kept blowing in on us from outside every time someone exited or entered. We'd certainly return to Shoshaku and would recommend! read more

Loved it! I came here with a friend to try the Kaisen Don. We are avid sashimi lovers so we had high hopes for this dish. The dish was $28, which is a very reasonable price considering the quality and types of pieces we received. When we first got the dish, the waitress informed us that the dish usually comes with uni, but the chef just ran out (we came at around 7:30pm) so he replaced uni with a bluefin tuna piece. This was slightly disappointing but understandable. Off the top of my head, the bowl came with ebi (sweet shrimp), fatty tuna, tuna, salmon, squid, yellowtail, and one or two others I don't remember the name of. The fish tasted very fresh and it was perfectly room-temperature. Will definitely be coming back to have the kaisen don again; If you like raw fish, I definitely recommend giving this place a shot! read more

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

Long Island sushi is often mediocre to downright awful so I had pretty low expectations when the wife and I stopped in to grab something to eat. In short, Shoshaku is on par with some of the best affordable sushi places in the city and this place will be our go to place in Nassau from now on. The place is small but comfy and has a hip but casual feel. The menu is pretty extensive - lots of rolls, sushi and sashimi entrees as well as some cooked item that will pique your interest. First things first, the fish quality here is excellent - far better than what I expected especially given the prices they charge. The sushi rice here is perfectly cooked and well seasoned, another feather in their cap. When it comes to specific items, the Heavenly Grenade (avocado bomb in most other establishments) looks like every other one you might've had but its so much better. The spicy tuna is well seasoned and the sauces balance it perfectly. Even the veggie chips on the side really work well by giving it a contrast in texture and saltiness. The chirashi here is top notch - fresh fish with perfect sushi rice. Spicy naruto roll was fresh and the yuzu citrus dipping sauce went perfectly with the roll. Brightside roll was also excellent. Service here is prompt, friendly and exceptionally good. The staff here is very attentive and want to make sure their patrons have a great dining experience. Prices here are pretty much the same as other local sushi restaurants but their food is exceedingly better. If you live around here, there's really no reason to go anywhere else to scratch your sushi itch. read more

After hearing good things about Shoshaku in Great Neck, we decided to give it a try ourselves. From what we heard, they attempt to make Japanese-style sushi. From a sign on the door it said that their fish comes from Japan, so we were eager to try it out. The restaurant isn't big. There are probably 10 tables inside and some of these tables could be put together for larger parties. The décor is nothing fancy, but still nice and modern. We ordered the Shoshaku set which consists of 20 pieces of sashimi, 10 pieces of sushi and two special rolls, which cost a total of $58. A soup and salad with sesame dressing was provided along with the set. When we ordered, I was disappointed to find out that the special rolls that came with the set were "chef's choice." Nowhere did it say on the menu that this was the case, therefore the disappointment. We went on to have our meal. I particularly enjoyed the salad and the dressing which was at room temperature and contained sesame, not the usual generic ginger dressing. As for the sushi, we had an assortment of eel, cooked shrimp, salmon, snapper and tuna. The three that stood out was the salmon, eel and snapper. I was disappointed that the shrimp was included. I would have much rather had something raw. The sashimi however was all raw, containing fluke, snapper yellowtail, salmon and tuna. As for the quality of the fish, some were hit or miss. I found the salmon and snapper to be the best because they were at the right temperature and had a nice mouth feel. The tuna was a bit cold and wasn't brought to room temperature. The eel was superb because of its excellent glaze. As for the special rolls, I can't specifically remember the names of the rolls. We had one with what I believe is tuna tartare wrapped in avocado. The other was a white fish wrapped in mock crab meat. I liked the tuna tartare roll as the mango and eel sauces mixed in well with the flavors. As for the other roll it was just okay but was a bit heavy on the mock crab meat. Once again, the fact that we weren't able to choose our rolls was a disappointment. We also ordered other dishes during our visit. We ordered a grilled mackerel and a salmon fried rice. We liked the flavoring for the fried rice but felt the salmon bits were too dry. Was for the grilled mackerel, it was done supremely well. The skin had a beautiful crunch and the meat below was tender. The service at Shoshaku was good. We got free tea to go along with our meal and got our check and doggy bags quickly when asked. In summary, I would say that this is a slightly above average sushi restaurant. I think Shoshaku knows what it wants to be and luckily there are more hits than misses. read more

It may look like your typical Sushi restaurant, but it is anything but that! The menu is large and I would recommend getting miso soup and salad as that is a good addition to anything ordered off the menu. I wandered in with two friends on a Saturday night, and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff! The restaurant was filling up quickly (it was almost 7:30 pm) but we managed to get a table. My friend and I ordered The maki combo as well as the Bento box meal. When our food arrived, our expectations continued to be exceeded. By the end of the meal we were planning our next visit.They really have outstanding service and constantly came to ask us at our table if we needed anything else. This place is perfect for groups or a casual date night. read more

This is a great place!!!! The fish is extremely fresh compared to the others areas locally. I went for their lunch special which happens on weekends too! The interior is small but the food is well made and delicious. I got the chirashi bowl and a spider roll. The price is very good affordable too. I saw many people order the tonkatsu (fried pork) as well which I will try next time! I would definitely recommend this place for a nice Japanese style meal. They offer a variety of Japanese cuisine. I also like how they don't just mix all asian cuisine together. This way what their focus on is delicious. They have good drinks here as well. read more

Decent Japanese resto in great neck area! Sashimi deluxe 4/5 - tasted quite fresh. Nabeyaki udon 4/5 - not salty at all. The broth is clean and light. The noodle tasted like store bought. Shrimp tempura that came with it was alright - fried a little too much for me. I like lightly fried but it's just personal preference. Uni sushi from Cali 2/5 - don't recommend getting. Didn't taste fresh AT ALL. A little bitter overall taste and there were some sand in it as well. Duo intense 4/5 - toro w truffle and shiso was soo good! Can definitely taste the truffle and the overall flavor was phenomenal and surprisedly the taste of both truffle and shiso together goes so well together. Wagyu beef w raw egg and shiso was a little off for me. A little too smokey for my taste. The raw egg didn't help balances the flavor much. Maguro yamakake 3.5/5 - it came w jalapeño and sesame seeds which was a little weird for me because I never been at a Japanese restos in NY that goes with this dish. Super generous with the yamakake but the portion of the maguro was not enough so in the end we had a lot of yamakake. Service was ok. Came to check on us a few time. Maybe refill water next time? Overall, would probably come back but the price here is similar to manhattan. read more

Food is good , kid friendly and love this place .. yummy yummy. The hotel California is a fusion between the basic California roll with the exotic ingredients. The Geso Karaage was the squid tentacles and the sauce was so rich in flavor and had depth. While the squid was tender and juicy. The Yaki Soba was the best for the kids because of the delicious sauce that was smothered on top of the noddles with a sunny side up egg. Overall I definitely recommend this place for any adventurous eaters! This place really does deserve 5 stars. read more
