I had an amazing omakase experience with Chef Yee and the staff at shoshin 68. I ordered the 16 course meal and each bite brought a different flavor profile that gets better and better. The ingredients were fresh and I had great conversations with the chef. Bonus tip - if you book for early dinner 5pm they offer unlimited sake with the meal! Will come back when I visit Manhattan again. Thanks chef read more

The sushi here was awful. It tasted not fresh at all and I almost didn't want to eat any of it. It's omakase but they serve the pieces 3 pieces at a time which was kind of odd. Would not be back. read more

Amazing food, and the best service :) Clint was a lovely server who doted on our every whim!! What an amazing experience. Our favorite was the unagi foie gras handroll, but everything was so delicious. We were amazed at every bite. The $98 premium menu is definitely worth it, if you are questioning your decision. Very, very good-- we are IMPRESSED with quality of the fish! read more

Shoshin 68 is such a gem. We did the 12-course omakase for $68 and every bite was so good. The toro lightly seared with salt was insane, the otoro with caviar was luxe, and I loved the little pickled radishes along the way. The unagi foie gras handroll was crazy decadent and one of my favorite bites of the night. At the end we added the surf and turf with wagyu, uni, and caviar which was just as delicious and over the top as it sounds. The house yuzu sake was delicious and we ended up having a little drink with Chef Eric at the end which made the night even more fun. The pacing was perfect, and the vibe wasn't stuffy at all. Fun for a nice date night or meal with a girlfriend! Honestly one of the best deals in the city. read more

Thanks to the internet, I wandered into Shoshin 68 after nabbing a last minute booking for 5 pm. I was lucky enough to get a spot at the counter right in front of Chef Yee! Little did I know this spot was in the middle of a photo shoot and frequented by an array of clientele including a film composer and producer who walked in all non descript and sat right next to me. We independently went with the 16 course omakase, which was a journey of delicious and savory morsels and flavors. Tonight's menu: Toro tartare caviar Madai Shima Aji Shime Saba Sawara Hirame Chawan Mushi loaded with ikura and laced with wakame Zuke salmon Akami- maguro Chutoro Otoro Uni Hotate Wagyu Truffle Unagi Duck Liver Foie Hand Roll Dessert: Black sesame ice cream which I skipped because I had to revisit the Chutoro and Otoro(!) With complementary pickled radishes and green tea. All in all the meal was wonderful as was the experience and service. It was just what I wanted on a cold chilly night after missing good omakase and I hope to come back! read more

Amazing! I came when they first opened and I absolutely loved it. Probably one of my top omakase experiences so far. It's so cozy and intimate and the service was great. The food itself was wonderful! I thought the omakase feature very unique flavors. Super happy about it and would definitely recommend read more

Food, service and ambiance was great, intimate and good value. My partner and I had fun interacting with the chef and were pleased with the variety of fish and preparation. I only recently discovered this place so I hope more people enjoy what we did! Also bring Labubus because they only have one in their collection and they're looking to expand, say Jesse said it read more

As a Lower Manhattan local, Shoshin 68 has become one of my favorite omakase spots. Chef Yee and his team provide exceptional care and attention, creating a welcoming and personalized experience for every guest. The quality and presentation of each unique piece of nigiri are truly top-tier, every course feels and tastes beautifully executed. Whenever friends ask me for an omakase recommendation, I send them to Shoshin 68 without hesitation. read more

I came here the other day and had a great experience! The staff were super nice and even though we arrived earlier than our reservation time, they accomodated seating us right away. They served us complemntary green tea and pickled radishes. The server was very attentive and filled back up everyones tea. The bathroom was also super nice, fancy, and clean! We got the basic menu set which was 12 courses. For an appetizer we got toro tartare which was flavored so well and came with a crispy chip on top that we were supposed to break and mix into the tartare. Every nigiri piece came with a really big piece of fish. At other omakase places I can usually fit the whole piece easily in my mouth but with these I was really stuffing my mouth. The larger portion of fish on top of each nigiri made the entire meal really filling and I was suprised to actually feel full afterwards. The nigiri tasted pretty fresh and the chef dressed the pieces in really unique, yummy ways. For example, pieces came with toppings like pickled wasabi, turffle nori puree, ponzu radish, and so on. After our meal, the chef gave us all some complemetary crispy salmon on the house which was seasoned well. I also came here to celebrate my birthday and they prepared a little card as well as 2 pieces of vanilla ice cream mochi plus a song on the house which was really nice of them!! Overall, the staff was very friendly and the meal was fresh and filling. Would definately recommend coming here!! read more

A truly remarkable experience! Thanks to Chef Yee, so talented. The most creative sushi I've had in a while. and Clint so attentive and sweet, perfect delicious evening in NY! read more

Chef Yee is THE BEST!!!!! Absolutely love it here and actually think this is the best omakase out there. It's not "just a sushi restaurant" and really has a wonderful menu and flow of set courses that are unique from other omakase spots. I've known the chef since he worked at another omakase spot and was elated when I learned he was opening his own spot and it's even better than I could have imagined. Also after having attended the incredible grand opening, it's only gotten better. He also made me and my group his special salmon and Parmesan off menu piece which blew my mind. IYKYK!!!! The BYOB is also a huge value add (especially as someone who loves wine). Very much a spot for local regulars which shows how well regarded it is, and the team treats everyone so nicely. Definitely sit at the bar - you get the full experience up close and personally. Not sure the deal with the review from the guy who seemed upset about his experience but do not listen to his review - you will love it! Don't even think about going to other omakase spots, this is the one. I absolutely cannot wait to come back! read more

Lots of under $100 omakases opening up across the city and this one is a gem of a find. $68 for 12 courses is such a great deal. We sat at the counter and the chefs were very friendly and service was great. They have a seasonal menu as well. At the moment they don't have a liquor license but they said it's coming soon. The fish is fresh and presentation was clean. If a no frills, just good sushi omakase is what you're looking for, def give this place a try. read more

We made a reservation in advance and arrived at Shoshin68 just as the omakase experience for our time slot began. The space is compact, with one long serving bar and two dining tables, which made the atmosphere feel intimate. We were seated at the bar near the window and served 12 courses of excellent nigiri and hand rolls. Since we booked through Pulsd, we also received unlimited green tea and house-made pickles. Two sushi chefs prepared everything with skill and personality, sharing stories about the restaurant along the way. It's a great spot for a date or a night out with a close friend. read more

Chef Yee was amazing! Fish was so fresh and great atmosphere. Chu toro was the highlight.

I brought my girl here for a date and simply don't understand the positive reviews. The service was abysmal. An hour before we were set to be there, we received a text sitting. It was BYOB, so we had to track down alcohol. When we got there, the chef was drinking *the entire time*. He must have interrupted us at least 6 times to "take a shot" while we were having an intimate conversation. Just asinine. And there was three women next to us that were out of control screaming. Instead of intervening and telling them to calm down, he keep doing shots with them, which made them more belligerent. They started a fight with my date and the staff did nothing about it. The food was force-fed to us every could minutes. They clearly were just trying to get us out of there to get the next party in - all in all, a horrible experience. Go to Blue Ribbon next door - it's phenomenal in comparison. read more

Chef Yee was amazing! Every dish he served was delicious. He was also very personable and made us feel at home. Not only was the food excellent but also a great price of $68 for 12 courses! I'm from LA and you'll never find an Omakase of that caliber anywhere close to that price. If I ever find myself in NYC again I'm definitely paying Chef Yee another visit. read more

Wanted to come in here on a previous date, but it didn't work out for me, so after looking at them online for a while, we came now to celebrate a personal milestone! The omakase was delicious, a lot of different flavors in every bite, and the pickled radish was a great cleanser between courses. It was a friendly and intimate environment - we loved talking to the chef about life and learning a bit more about sushi. Definitely worth the price and will be back! Highly recommend. read more

We're in New York for a business trip and stumbled upon this new spot in Soho, which just opened a week ago. We were absolutely amazed by how incredible the experience was definitely one of the best omakase I've ever had in the city. If you get the chance, definitely give it a try! Each course was a work of art, It truly feels like a hidden gem that won't stay hidden for long. read more

A fantastic, new Omakase spot in SoHo! Especially the perfect fit for any first timers. Chef Yi did a great job personalizing the experience for us and was extremely attentive with our reactions to each bite. Also a huge thank you to Jason, our server, for the warm hospitality and ensuring our sake glasses were never empty! This place is new as they've only had their soft opening, but we came in on a Monday night and all the seats at the bar were booked up. Definitely a fun and elevated ambiance with great music. My favorite part was it did not feel transactional at all - we were welcomed to drink with Chef Yi and continue talking with the other chefs and server. This is my new go-to spot! read more

Was here for dinner about a month ago. A drunken bunch of bridge and tunnel women started a fight with another patron. The chef, who was drinking all night behind the bar (but they don't serve alcohol!?) kept giving them more booze like a moron. Us and another part left early. Food was mediocre and ambiance was worse. read more

This is by far the best new Omakase in New York City! Chef Yee is amazing and so is the whole crew, Eric & Michael & everybody! The pieces are spectacular and it's an amazing price at $68. However I would definitely go with the $98 option to get the full experience. It's also BYOB as well- no expensive drinks or cocktails. The atmosphere is so cool and it's a great spot to bring friends and coworkers. Pictured here is the Wagyu/Uni/Caviar/Truffle "Surf n' Turf" piece, a must try.
