“Personally, I saw the appeal towards Sushi Sho is with the fact that it is on par with Tabelog Gold level Sushiyas in Japan”

“The okonomi is where you can find all sorts of interesting pieces that you don’t typically see at other sushiya in NYC, either. I ended up spending an extra ~300 per person on top of the base price, but it was well worth it, among the best sushi experiences of my life.”

“Sushi Sho NYC is the most impressive sushi restaurant in NYC and it's not even close.”
H3
“the breadth of things you can get at sho is really unparalleled. It remains the only sushi-ya I've been to in Japan or the States where rice varied mid-meal (different seasoning).”
H3
“The main menu is good not amazing, the extra prices are better but not earth shattering, the real plus here is space and service which to be fair no one else can compete with, but if you were blindfolded the food is just slightly under the others.”
H3
“The atmosphere was stunning and the food was so good.”

“The first time I had their chirashi it blew my mind and was probably my favorite ever. Had it again two weeks ago and it wasn’t nearly as fresh, and the shari was less vinegary and more inconsistent.”

“But damn—was it worth it. It wasn’t even a meal, it was more an extended gastronomic lesson on the finer points of edomae sushi delivered by one of the world’s foremost experts, Chef Nakazawa. I will never forget it and it set a nearly impossible standard for every other meal I will have in my life.”

“Sho is just annoying - the omakase part is rapid and you are starving after. The okonomi are $35 a piece and you would need like 10+ to be full.”

“Sushi Sho without a doubt. I’ve been to many sushi restaurants in my life but this one is something extraordinary. So many memorable dishes: ankimo with watermelon pickle, fermented sea urchin and salmon, hair crab with egg yolk and it goes on and on”

“Very traditional edomae sushi done well 9/10”

“Sho is great but at the end of the day its still omakase”
H2
“Sushi Sho feels 100% worth it, on the other hand.”
H2
“The service and operation was next level compared to Noz and Yoshino (with far more people).”
H2
“sushi sho is on another level entirely unlike most american dining so i think it’s worth their $500 tag for the experience”
H2
“I was skeptical that Sushi Sho would be better than normally priced omakase but the details and uniqueness of the seafood you try is indeed different.”
H2
“yoshino and sho make notably better sushi than ito and sushi ann and ikumi, etc.”
H2
“Sushi Sho — the hamaguri”
H2
“Sushi Sho deservedly at the front of the line”
H2
“Best sushi experience I’ve ever had.”
H2
“I would highly recommend Sushi Sho. Slightly higher price point that LeB but by far the best sushi money can get you outside of Japan.”
H2
“IMO, and I've been to Noz, Yoshino, Sho and other $400+ places, they are only slightly better than something like Nakazawa at $160-$200.”
H2
“Specifically, Sushi Sho and Yoshino are on par with (or in some instances, slightly better than) Tabelog Silver places I've been to.”
H2
“not worth much”
H2
“The quality of the fish isn’t as high as some other shops, but the technique is something else. It’s incredibly impressive cooking.”
H2
“which I think is the best omakase in the city.”
H2
“Sushi Sho is the best omakase in NYC”
H2
“chef Nakazawa moved to the NYC location so now i like this one! Highly recommend!”
H2
“Flawless meal and service. If I went back for the same menu I would honestly just order as much Iwashi as I could have - it’s quite possible the best piece of nigiri I have ever tried.”
H2
“We were also able to write to them in advance to request a seat in front of him, which made the experience quite special.”
H2
“It's one of the best sushi experience in the usa currently, imo.”
H2
“Sho would be my rec if you can get a reservation. Its unlike any other omakase that I’ve been to, has a lights out sake pairing thats reasonably priced (\~$150), and is a very special place”
H2
“We ate there and did the sake tasting. It was amazing.”
H2
“the omakase unto itself does feel like a complete and satisfying experience”
H2
“Best in the city. Best I’ve personally had outside of Japan tbh”
H2
“Also Sushi Sho but that’s a completely different price range lol”
H2
“Yoshino rocks, imo even better than Sho”
H2
“I thought it was incredible. The sake pairing is a relative bargain too. So many great sakes that aren’t available stateside. I haven’t stopped thinking about it.”
H2
“You should get sushi for dinner instead, at either Yoshino or Sushi Sho.”
H2
“For sushi sho I actually felt they overplayed the heritage part with an overly heavy emphasis on age old techniques.”
H2
“If budget is not an issue and you like to eat at a fast pace, Sushi Sho is excellent and a step above others.”
H2
“so many of the dishes are “drinking” dishes - stuff that pairs incredibly well with sake.”
H2
“unconventional textures and flavors for the American palate but amazing technique. the entire dining experience is something unlike any other, even for all the other omakase locations in nyc”
H2
“Sho is the best omakase I’ve ever had even topping ones I’ve done in Japan.”
H2
“super pretty tasty and reasonably priced”
H2
“the vegetarian rolls i’ve had at sho are pretty good”
H2
“Just ate there for my wife's birthday last week :) Absolutely amazing.”
H2
“Sushi Sho (would go over $1k but worth it if you like sushi more than other tastings)”
H2
“Is it worth it? I don't know. But it's the most impressive sushi-ya in NYC.”
