replying to u/thefutureisinthepast: What didn’t you like about Yoshino? I remember feeling like that after going to 715 Sushi in LA. I never want to experience that again.
“But Shota at $195 pp is just a steal. Pieces you don't get elsewhere and chef Cheng is meticulous with his preparation.”

“Shota in Williamsburg did a pretty incredible rockfish broth, might be similar. The flavor was subtly fishy, a little gingery, very savory, but light.”

in:Lunch omakase recommendations -should we try Mitani?1 pts
replying to u/outofhere29: This was a really helpful comment. Thank you! I will add Shota to the list and likely remove Odo as I'm interested in more sushi. I've been to Nakazawa in DC so would like to try something new. I'm not really concerned about cost and I think under normal circumstances would lean towards Mitani just because it is so novel. It seems like the pairings are an important part of the meal there and I just don't think I will be able to partake at lunch. I'd love to know what's on there reserve pairing list. I'm a huge fan of high end champagne, especially vintage. Having said that, I have also heard great things about Joji and it may be the better option for lunch. Unfortunately, I have separate dinner plans and then heading home in the evening. I've had Yugin on my list since opening too, but it looks like I will have to skip it this time because it's only dinner.
“I think of Shota more as a really good value option (sub-$200) for people looking for a very solid, though not necessarily top-tier, omakase experience. Shota’s sushi rice is honestly among the best I’ve had, but I felt the fish itself wasn’t quite on the same level as some of the other places”

“I personally think Shota is the best option. Noz and Noda are great too but Shota is half the price and wonderful.”
