Our first omakase experience did not disappoint! It was such a good experience to share with my family. Everything was super fresh and prepared for us right in front of our eyes. I like how each party was spaced apart for COVID. I felt extremely comfortable dining in. 100% would recommend this special experience. I would definitely return ! read more

I'll keep it short: The quality of fish here is not worth the price you're paying for. Like another review said, the rice was bad, it kept falling apart. The uni was very bitter and not fresh. Our chef was quiet and didn't interact with us much other than telling us the name of the pieces. The 5 star reviews must be friends. Because I've gone to other omakase like Sushi by M and their quality far outweighed this one's for a similar price. I will not come back and I highly suggest to just make the trip and go to Manhattan for a better quality and experience for about the same price. read more

I hate to give 3 stars but this place was mediocre. I brought my mom here for her first omakase since it's in the neighborhood. As a first experience, she enjoyed it. But I've been to many other omakase restaurants in the city that have way more creative pieces. I will say the fish here was pretty good quality and so was the flavoring. I normally don't love the fishier pieces like mackerel but they made it tasty here. The toro, eel and artic char were actually my favorite. My brother loved the sea bream. The uni was very bitter but for 16 pieces at $75, it's a steal. However, like another review had said, the meal got boring and bland as we went on. The sushi chefs are also not as interactive as most places I've been to. The host was very attentive though. Our chef told us the menu changes weekly depending on what they are supplied so I guess for those that like variety, this is great. I probably will not be coming back but it is conveniently the only omakase in Bensonhurst, so who knows.. maybe I'll cave in my sushi cravings and I hope to see Neta Shari improve. read more

Chef Kevin was amazing and provided an unmatched Omakase experience. I trusted Kevin and he did not disappoint. We did not expect the 16 pieces of sushi to fill us up, but they definitely did. The chef was extremely generous with the fish and did not stuff too much rice. The Hakkaido Uni and Medium Fatty Tuna were our favorite pieces, we even ordered al carte! An upscale reservation based option is exactly what we need in this neighborhood. Take your dates here to impress them 10x! I took my wife here and she was delighted. Why go to Manhattan and pay more for the same experience when you can go to your local Neta Shari and support local businesses. After every piece, we couldn't wait for the next piece. Make sure to eat your piece quick before your date steals it. We also had the opportunity to meet the owners who were very happy to welcome us! Come for the curiosity and stay for the consistent amazing experience. read more

Amazing!!! My husband is very particular about his Omakase and he was blown away! We've had our share of Omakase and this was definitely our favorite. I loved the variety of fish and the dry aging! The staff were so nice and very attentive! Who would have thought you'd find a gem like this in Bensonhurst?? Will definitely be back!! read more

This is a perfect date spot, came here with my boy friend. The sushi is extremely fresh! We were taken care of, staff is super friendly!! I'd definitely come here again. We had the yuzu peach paired with our sushi. The interior design is 10/10. First omakase place to open up in Brooklyn Bensonhurst, I'm so happy we finally have one here. Come bring your mamas, papas, and friends. :) read more

Great hidden gem. 18 course omakase. Good service, fresh fish. A must for any true sushi lover.

Great to see a decently high class sushi dining experience around the area. Host was attentive and Sushi chefs had the menu pretty on point. Hard to beat a $75 omakase for a 16 course experience. Most pieces had amazing taste and definitely will be coming back to experience again. Been to several high end sushi places in New York but for the price and experience, this place definitely is on my list for the bang on the buck+delish quality. Would binge eat lots of the cuts on my own even after the omakase just because I love sushi. Absolutely great treat and addition to the area! read more

Came here end of July and was excited to hear there was an omakase spot in the neighborhood. Chef Kevin provided us with a great experience and carefully explained each piece. The omakase overall was fresh and tasty. We opted for a few extra pieces at the end. A few notes- serving multiple of the same type of fish in a row may have caused some of the flavor profiles to overlap and hard to remember each distinctly (e.g., 2 or 3 types of tuna in a row, 2 types of uni in a row). But overall worth a visit and would come back again! Happy that IG sent me there. read more

Every piece was so delicious. I loved the occasional touch of yuzu and raw garlic flavors. They also give the biggest piece of scallop I've ever been served in omakase sushi. read more

It has only been opening for a few months but I have been 4 times already. It is legit , top quality omakase I find in Manhattan but without the Manhattan prices. Every time has been great but they continue to work on their recipe and get better. During my first visit, some of the flavors overpowered the taste of the fish. However, they have definitely improved that balance and it gets better and better. My favorite piece is always the fatty tuna. The salmon belly, mackerel, and uni are also on the top of my list. In regards to the mackerel, they make it more soft and tender than I ever had it cause it's generally tough and tough when I eat it. Regardless, all the pieces are great. The service is excellent and they take the time to explain each piece. read more

Came here for dinner and for an experience and it definitely did not disappoint. They provide a total of 16 pieces of sushi and it was very good. They made a sushi with Uni, Ikura, and Oyster!!! It was phenomenal! Of course omakase aren't cheap but worth the experience. read more

Great omakase spot here in Brooklyn! Extremely reasonably priced at $75 for 16 pieces. Everything was super fresh and delicious! We enjoyed every piece. There's no truffle shavings or caviar incorporated but honestly it's not necessary when the fish and seasoning are this good. This place is very relaxing; our sushi chef was really friendly and explained every piece to us. As an extra I ordered the "food junkie" hand roll which is not on the menu but was on Instagram: scallop, uni, ikura and toro: do yourself a favor and order it! It was phenomenal!! Will definitely return!! read more

A true high end sushi experience in south Brooklyn. There is no competition, if you want Manhattan quality fish, this is your only option around here. Every piece was special and distinct and notably fresher than your usual local spot . This restaurant focuses on the omakase experience although a la carte is also available. Mostly sushi here, no rolls or sashimi at this time, very focused menu. Very highly recommended read more

My GF and I are always searching for the next omakase spot and when my friend heard of Neta Shari we had to check it out. Mike and our chef Kevin took care of us well. Every piece of nigiri was exquisite and the yuzu white drink was amazing. The O toro, Hokkaido scallops and Hokkaido uni was delicious and what I usually get to compare with other places. The pieces that stood out were the oyster, anago, Akami with the house made soy sauce, cuttlefish, and artic char to name a few, but every other fish was amazing too. We will definitely come back, maybe even once a week. read more

The fact that there's a truly great Omakase in southern Brooklyn is astonishing to someone who grew up here. The price for the quality is amazing as well. The same meal in Manhattan would be double. Big fan. Will be bringing friends with me next time. read more

Out of the 16 pieces, 5 were tuna. Definitely would recommend more variety. The first few pieces were delish (Oyster, Santa Barbara Uni, Hokkaido Scallop, Mackerel, Sea Bream) but after the first half, the flavors felt very similar and it fell flat. Hope they will make changes to their menu and keep 2/3 tuna pieces at most for their omakase. read more

Don't be late because 2/3 of my group showed up and didn't want to serve us and proceeded to charge us $50 a per person for no show. So now we're out $150 and no food. read more

This place is a hidden gem that serves edo style sushi. I have been here twice already and each time it gets better. Each piece of sushi is like an explosion of flavors in my mouth. Both chefs named Kevin are amazing. The price for the type of sushi you get are Manhattan quality. I'm definitely going to be a long time customer. Also the Uni, toro and Hokkaido scallop are a must have. Support your local business. This place needs to stay open to satisfy south brooklyn craving for omakase without having to go to Manhattan. read more

Omakase is delicious and good wherever you go. But I really recommend this place. First of all, the ingredients are so fresh and fresh. The first course, egg soup, was very interesting and delicious.

Neta Shari - 15 course - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Compliments: People are friendly and always check in to see how things going; Environment is decent, it's not too noisy and love how they tinted the windows to keep a little more privacy for customers inside because it's sitting on a rather busy block; in terms of food, I personally love how they cut the Hokkaido scallop, and the smoked mackerel is a good touch, not to mention the murasaki uni, which is super fresh and sweet. Their "neta" are fresh overall, "shari" is good with well balanced rice vinegar ratio and rice temperature is pretty decent as well. Suggested improvements: 4th piece is a bit too garlicky which would affect customers' taste buds for the rest of the course; yuzu on top of the botan ebi added a layer of bitterness which took away part of the sweetness of the shrimp itself, so I personally think serving the shrimp by itself is a better approach; Chuu toro and otoro have texture like akami instead of toros, meaning there's no fattiness, a big sunk on this one as a big chuu toro lover; and lastly, A5 wagyu doesn't have the A5 fattiness, maybe the torch is too hot so it got rid most of the fattiness? Not sure what went wrong on that piece. Fairly speaking, with $75 for 15 pieces, it is a decent course. But there is definitely some space for improvements, I would wait a little and revisit the place in the future. read more

Overall, I think this is a decent spot. I came here for an in person omanske experience and had a pleasant experience. Everything was delicious and had me wanting for more. Thus, I decided to order the party size tray (65 nigiri) to congratulate my boyfriend on getting a new job. However, the quality of the nigiris wasn't as great as my previous in person experience. The nigiris fell apart easily which was frustrating and some pieces tasted slightly bland compared to when I had it in person. Thus, I would recommend the in person experience as you get slightly more variety (they torch some of the nigiri which gives it a nice smokey char flavor. I don't think they do this for the takeout selections) and the consistency of the nigiri is better. The takeout service was okay, looked understaffed and felt like my order was rushed (which might explain the inconsistency with the nirigi quality). read more

For $75 omakase, in Brooklyn, this place is amazing. Let's be honest, any reviews less than 4 means that the reviewer obviously didn't understand the goal of the chef or didn't understand Japanese sushi. Again, I have to repeat that this is an omakase restaurant for $75 dollars. If that doesn't change your mind, please go elsewhere and pay that 300 dollar per person bill. With that said, I've been back multiple times and for me, I'm not only paying for the delicious fish which changes from time to time but for the enjoyment of watching a chef prepare the meal in front of me. I'll stop here to say that benihani is crap compared to sushi chef. Let's be real. Come here. Sit down. Enjoy a beautiful course of Sushi. What more does a person want out of life other than good company and good food? read more

This is a 2.5 stars Omaskase experience. I am taking 2 of my friends to this new Omaskase restaurant in brooklyn since my friend never have an omaskase before. If this is a Japanese restaurant, i would give this a 4.5 star. The service is excellent and the quality of fish is great. The reason why i give it a 2.5 is because lack of communication between the chef and us make this omaskase experience unsatisfied. The only communication that we have with the chef is he told us what fish it is. He never asked us how it tasted and how he prepared the fish. He did not even tell us when the meals is finished. We were just sitting there waiting for him until the server come ask us if we want to order additional pieces. read more

Had a 15 course omakase. I love the steam egg with truffle. Sushi was great except for the red tuna. Personally, it was too fishy.

I been to at least half a dozen different omakase places and this one by far goes straight to the top of my list. First off, you can't beat the price of $75 for omakase in NY. Second, each selection was delicious and I didn't have one piece that I didn't enjoy. Lastly, the vibe was very casual and it felt very comfortable/easy to talk to the chefs. Overall, my boyfriend and I really enjoyed our experience here and it left us wanting to go back right after we left. We'll likely be going back in a couple months bc the food here was so fresh and amazing! read more

Came here with my mom to celebrate and it was both our first omakase experience! My mom speaks Cantonese and very limited English so the chef was super accomadating while explaining each fish, slowing down when saying the names so I could show my mom a picture or translate the names for her. The chef spoke a bit of Canto and was able to explain some of the pieces himself to her and even afford her tea when he saw she wasn't drinking her water much. The server was also super attentive, making sure our glasses were full and even offered us an extra shot of sake after seeing the glass empty. Now on to the food, this 15 course set was such a good deal for $75. I have been researching different omkase spots and this is definetly one of the most worth it for the price. Each piece was very creative but our favorites were the uni pieces - maine and hokkaido. I also loved the seared branzzino piece. My only critque is that the whole experience sort of just ended with the last course (salt water eel) which tasted so-so compared to the rest of the menu. Overall though, a great experience and defeintly deserves more attention from the community! read more

My rating is fairly based on the omakase itself. It was really fresh and I enjoyed the various flavors they offered on the fishes. You can tell the chefs did an amazing job on providing us the service of enjoy. It is a great experience on a friendly omakase budget. As of 7/24/2021, the 16 piece seasonal omakase is priced at $75! Enjoy for everyone reading or considering this spot, well deserve treat at a friendly price! read more

Found this place on Yelp and since my wife and I were celebrating our 3rd year anniversary, we decided to have sushi because why not? I somehow saw this place on Yelp and with the many 5 star reviews, I decided to try it out as it was local. Luckily I was able to get a reservation last minute as well. Anyway, I forgot to ask our chef for his name but he was friendly and awesome. The sushi was amazing and fresh as well. Definitely recommend this place to any local sushi eater out there that like to have omakase. Btw, it was a 16 course omakase and the food was so good, I forgot to take a picture of one. To the chef that took care of my wife and I, thank you for the good meal! read more

We are excited that we no longer have to drive all the way to Manhattan for quality omakase. The environment is simple but well decorated. The service and sushi quality are comparable to some of the pricier restaurants we dine-in before. read more

Omakase?! In South Brooklyn?!?! Awesome find, and a great experience. The chefs are young, but I can't complain. Service was good and I would go back again. Nice, small and intimate environment. read more

Excellent every time I've been there. A true value also. Brooklyn's best kept secret.

Neta Shari was a pretty random discovery for me and my friend while we were searching Yelp for a new sushi spot to try in Bath Beach. We were pretty surprised to see a high-end omakase restaurant open here and decided to book a dinner reservation two hours out on a whim. It turned out to be a fantastic decision! It felt like a private dining experience as we shared our meal with only one other pair. Their omakase is $75 (pre-tax and tip) for 16 courses, and I felt like it's a solid entry-level experience to omakase. My favorites were the bluefin tuna, Hokkaido scallop, Japanese mackerel, and hamachi marinated in house soy sauce. They do substitutions if you have any allergies, and for the final course, I got toro (also a favorite) to replace the saltwater eel. My friend has already been back since we dined there a few weeks ago. I think Neta Shari great option if you're in Brooklyn and don't want to venture into the city for a more upscale sushi experience. The restaurant is still pretty casual, but can be a fun date night place or good time with friends. read more

My boyfriend made a reservation on a Thursday night to celebrate my birthday with me. Our reservation was made a few days in advance. Here, I had my first true omakase experience! Coming in, we saw that this place was just a counter with around 12-13 seats. We had a 7pm reservation and there was only one other couple also having a meal there. Very intimate experience, I would say. We had the omakase experience which came with a Chawanmushi (steamed egg) appetizer and 16 pieces of sushi. We paired it with 2 sparking drinks, one yuzu original and one yuzu peach flavored. The quality of the sushi was excellent and we had very attentive and great service. Each piece of sushi was made in front of us, as we ate our sushi. Personally, I don't eat spicy or uni so I made sure to let them know beforehand. My favorite was the lean tuna and my boyfriend's favorite was the smoked applewood Spanish mackerel. Great experience and great food. I would definitely come again. read more

16 piece omakase for $75 did not disappoint; we definitely got our money's worth! They even gave us a free piece of the Hokkaido uni due to waiting too long for the next piece (which we didn't even mind waiting haha) so in total we received 17 pieces each. :) It was also very easy to make a reservation through their instagram! Would come here again for sure read more

My husband made a reservation for our date night, I was surprised when I heard that there was omakase here in this neighborhood. It is a smaller place, but nice and clean inside. We were greeted with friendly service, they do check for vaccination card and ID which wasn't a problem for us at all. We have tried and experienced other omakase in the city, and I think this place is one of our favorites. The price for omakase is $75 for 16 pieces which I considered is very reasonable. The fish was very fresh, and the quality of the fish was definitely better than your typical sushi places, even better than most omakase places in the city. We ordered the white peach yuzu sparkling drink, it was nice and refreshing, not too sweet. Some of my favorite pieces was the lean tuna, the fatty tuna with truffle salt, the scallop and the uni. Me and my husband loved all the pieces, my husband has a shellfish allergy and they were very accommodating to him. We had such a great experience with the service and the quality of fish that we immediate made another reservation for next month to come back in celebration for my husbands birthday with his friends. FYI, the place is on the smaller side, no tables and just bar seating, I would say about 10-12 people, so reservation is required. This is definitely a treat close to home and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone to try their omakase. read more
