This is my first time visiting this restaurant. The service is satisfactory, and the sushi is delicious and fresh

price - $118 before tax and tip for a 15 course set food - 5/5 service - 3/5 ambiance - 5/5 i got their 15 course omakase set and the food was amazing! every sushi piece was made with great care and you can really taste the different texture and flavors of each type of fish! it also doesnt taste fishy at all which i really like since other restaurants may have a sushi taste. the service was just okay. the waitresses did check in with us but it only twice compared to the other customers. overall i did not feel the most comfortable because i felt like the service was prioritized at people who looked more sophisticated. if you do not mind the service and only want to go for the food then you should definitely try this place out. if you do care about the service then this may not be the best option for you. other than that, the food, ambiance and vibes were great! read more

Food: The sushi is fresh and overall good, but some of the flavors of certain pieces are not the best, specifically one with a preserved orange peel topping. They offer three different omakase menus as well as pieces you can order a la carte. There are definitely more impressive and better omakase restaurants in New York City. This is the only Omakase restaurant in the Sheepshead Bay area so it's good if you live in the area. Service: Service is excellent. The sushi chef and waitress are very attentive and friendly. They make you feel welcome and tailor your omakase experience to your dietary needs and preferences. Ambiance: The restaurant is not big, but they have five or six tables, which can be put together for a larger groups. They also have about 10 seats at the sushi bar. If you're coming with a larger group, I would make a reservation beforehand. For omakase pricing, I would expect very high quality pieces and better flavors, but this place is very average to me. Overall, I would recommend this place for omakase if you're in Sheepshead Bay, but there are definitely much better omakase restaurants in New York City. I likely won't be returning to this restaurant. read more

Omakase Sushi By Hiro - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

TL;DR: The sushi was lovely. The hospitality, far less so. A birthday reservation was greeted with a public scolding over seating, staff questioning why rice remained after accommodations had already been openly discussed with the chef, and sake was poured twice before being forgotten. Even the purse hook gave way, adhesive tab dangling like the evening's pretense of polish. For all the restaurant's reported quality in staff and food, the lasting flavor was one of being treated as an inconvenience rather than a guest. -------------------------------------------- I came here hopeful: Having been to Sushi Nakazawa on other occasions, I made a birthday reservation at this restaurant, which is noted for ambiance and good sushi, encouraged by the fact that the lead chef hailed from the same. A good omakase place outside of Manhattan can be a rarity. As for the food, the chef's work was indeed beautiful, and we appreciated his willingness to adjust rice portions for one guest. Star pieces of the night were the hotate (scallop), sawara (Spanish mackerel), and dorade with yuzu kosho. A bite with eel and onion was also a bright moment. I did note the appearance of cherry trout; a spring blossom in late September bloom, typically a spring delicacy, not fall. A small detail, but in omakase, details are everything. Unfortunately, everything surrounding that artistry was marred by theater of another kind. On our arrival, our party of three was received as though we had committed a social crime. The hostess loudly questioned our reservation (originally for two) and staged a performance of accommodating our third party member and moving a chair, even though an open seat was plainly visible at the omakase bar, and no other parties arrived (having been seated at around 8:45, we were among the last guests of the night's final bar seating). One expects subtlety in Japanese omakase dining; what we received was spectacle. Throughout the evening, staff seemed intent on amplifying discomfort. After the chef graciously accommodated less rice for our additional person (my mom), waitstaff still returned to publicly inquire why rice remained, as though her dietary needs required committee approval. Sake was poured initially and once more with ceremony, then was abandoned entirely, leaving us to serve ourselves. Even the decor conspired: the purse hook detached mid-meal, and my purse fell to the ground. I tried to replace it, only to find the hook had vanished, so my purse lived on the back of my chair for the remainder of service. I discovered the hook much later where it'd fallen into my bag, adhesive tab exposed where screws should have been. A fitting metaphor, perhaps, for the experience. Yes, our party was late by about ten minutes and yes, an extra seat was requested - both of which we acknowledged, an apology was offered, and we asked if we could be accommodated, and it was made to seem that we would be. These things can happen - perhaps we should have left, but stayed in hopes of enjoying ourselves. Hospitality is measured not by the presence of imperfections, but in the grace with which they are handled. On that count, the evening fell short. For a restaurant with so many glowing reviews, it is striking to leave with the impression that our presence was an inconvenience rather than a welcome. It certainly was a memorable evening, though for all the wrong reasons. Sushi by Hiro, let me know if you'd like your hook back- I'm happy to send it by post. read more

A friend of a friend of a friend said that this was one of the better spots for Omakase in Brooklyn. I already have another spot that I absolutely love and I'm fairly loyal to. I finally decided to give this place a shot and a hurricane must have come through because I was BLOWN AWAY. A lot of Omakase spots serve fresh fish with a bit of minimalism, opting for a little bit of sauce to accentuate the flavors of the fish. That is always welcome, but when you're paying Omakase prices, you want to be consistently wowed. Few and far are there omakase spots that an entire menu that is WOW. The chefs have put a lot of effort and trial and error into their menu and it shows. Other places have amazing presentation but mediocre or mild tasting pieces. Omakase Sushi by Hiro has presentation and flavor. I was very surprised and will definitely revisit. The only downside I will note is that when walk-ins are seated with those who make reservations, the pacing is thrown off. It leaves the customer wondering which piece is theirs and left me drooling when I was a piece that was not yet mine. read more

Pretty solid omakase spot but not sure if I would come back anytime soon. I've been to about 10 different omakase spots in NYC and I'd say this falls in the middle of the scale of my favorite to least liked. There were a couple of pieces that really stood out to me like the otoro w/ caviar, the DIY sashimi tartar with toast, Spanish mackerel (I think this is seasonal), and uni squid. I'm taking a star off for a few things. First, there were 2-3 pieces that both my partner and I found very unappetizing, like nothing we've had before in other omakase courses. One piece, for example, had literally no taste while garnished with some powdery/flaky substance which just made everything taste weirder.. wish I could remember what the exact name of it was, but it looked like a white fish of sorts. Anyways, we felt that those pieces were not worth it as we didn't enjoy them. Another issue is that they serve the courses on the slower end, so if you don't enjoy being rushed and stuffing yourself with back to back pieces then this would be a good option for you. I believe each reservation is about 1.5 hr from start to finish for the 15 course whereas most places give you only 1 hr. The downside to this is that we waited extremely long for each piece to come out, note that there was only 6 people total when we were dining in... and because each piece took a little while in between, we were feeling very hungry still by the end of our meal. The good thing about omakase by hiro is that they have dine in tables so you don't have to select from only an omakase menu but an a la carte option as well. If I were to go back, I'd consider getting this option instead as I can choose all of my pieces! read more

I have to say, the majority of omakases offered in Brooklyn is not only limited, but most of them are also pretty generic. So I was extremely delighted to find this gem of a place with amazingly constructed and extremely flavorful courses! We opted for the 15 course omakase for about 100ish per person and we were not disappointed. Below are my favorites: Toro uni hand roll - you can see how beautifully constructed the hand roll is based on the picture. The toro was incredibly fresh and smooth, whereas the Hokkaido uni was creamy and sweet! The little condiments they added to it also adds a bit of sweetness and tanginess that complimented the overall hand roll perfectly. This roll by itself is about 23 dollars if you order it as an add on and you definitely pay for the quality of it! Sea eel truffle - incredibly aesthetically pleasing and flavorful, with a hint of smokiness that compliments the truffle they infuse into it! It's cooked so it adds a new and exciting twist to the rest of the majority of raw fish selection! Toro with caviar - incredibly rich and fatty, as toro should be. It was very fresh and it melts in your mouth beautifully! Wagyu & foie gras - the unique combination was definitely flavorful, but I felt this piece had too much going on, since it is also accompanied by some crunchy leeks and onion chips I believe? Overall I think this would be even better if the wagyu was just a tad bit thicker so you can taste more of the wagyu! Now my personal favorite - tuna tartare with quail egg and caviar - this dish was so fun to eat and looked so beautiful! It came with a syringe of soy sauce that you carefully insert into the quail egg and mix well before you pour the combination onto the tartare! You then spread it onto the perfectly toasted bread and all the flavors just compliment one another perfectly! Trust me, you will LOVE everything about this course, from its visual presentation to its heavenly entrance into your mouth! Overall, our experience was incredibly surprising! I have never been WOW'd by an omakase in Brooklyn and this was such a pleasant surprise!! The staff were all so sweet and friendly, and the chefs were so professional in their preparation and even spent time asking for feedback to better their already pretty perfect omakase experience. I love this place and I definitely cannot wait to come back with my wife. This is one of my favorite omakase restaurants, hands down! Please give this place a try and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I had! Thank you so much for reading and good luck!! read more

Went here for wife's birthday, didn't really expect much being that it was 1 stop away from where I live by the Q train. Arrived early but was able to sit at the bar, chefs and waitress greeted us. We ordered and then the magic started happening. Each piece of sushi was delicious and the flavors that Hiro was able to develop were all amazing. Each bite more delicious as the omakase progressed. The meal is filling and the meal goes fast if you want it to. We were hungry and it was like 5-10 each course giving you time to chat and have a sip of sake. Overall amazing food and the staff is super hospitable. Hidden gem in sheepshead, if you enjoy omakase sushi you should stop by and check them out. Want to come back with my father. read more

Omakase for the first time should be an exciting opportunity to look forward to. Although, it it can expensive, everyone has got to have Omakase once in their lifetimes. This was my once in a lifetime. I have always been in love with Japanese food, especially sushi. Omakase Sushi by Hiro reconfirmed that joy and also sparked my interest for Omakase. This was a relatively fast dining experience, it took less than an hour to consume Set B (13 exquisite pieces). The service was fast and the hosts/servers were always ready to refill water and take care whatever needs we had. Again, Omakase for the first time, you always have high expectations because of how expensive it is. Set B was $115 if I remember correctly. A lot of people say that's a great price for a 13 piece course. Each piece was prepared elegantly quick but each bite was filled was so much flavor and juice. The experience ended just as fast as each bite was consumed. This experience has made me yearn for more Omakase adventures. read more

If you are looking for a good omakase in Brooklyn, Omakase Sushi by Hiro is the place. Reservation was easily made through Yelp and we were the first ones in the restaurant on a Saturday and a lot more people arrived shortly after. They have 3 omakase options ($78 for 11 courses, $98 for 13 courses and $118 for 25 courses). We chose the 13 courses one (course B). Course B consisted of 2 appetizers, 10 pieces of sushi and one handroll. When I read "1 black caviar, 2 truffle and 1 uni", I was expecting those components to be the highlight of the sushi piece. Uni is usually my favorite part of an omakase and was expecting a bigger piece of uni. Instead, it was tuna with a tiny piece of uni on top. We liked how each appetizer and piece had different textures and toppings. As for the handroll, this was the highlight of the meal. It was a toro uni handroll and it was loaded! Definitely the best part. Overall, good place for omakase in Brooklyn. read more

I hate to sound like a broken record because multiple reviewers have said the same, but here we go ---- WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. This is not a knock on Sheepshead Bay considering I lived here for many years, but my wife and I were quite surprised to find a legitimately excellent Omakase restaurant outside of NYC in the boroughs. Considering Sheepshead Bay is overrun by inexpensive (formerly 50% off) sushi restaurants, it came as a surprise that Omakase Sushi By Hiro opened in the neighborhood. With that said ... no complaints that they did! Onto the experience of dining here itself. Since it seemed they had endless reservations leading up to our dinner here, we figured we could arrive a bit earlier for our 6:30pm reservation on the Wednesday evening of our dinner, but to no avail. This tiny restaurant was PACKED. We requested for a table at the bar and every seat was taken. On top of it, every table behind those seats were jammed too! The first thought that came to my head was that the word was out on this restaurant for a while. Anyhow, we came back for our reservation at the time we were slated to sit down, but we weren't seated until about 15 minutes after it. From the moment we stepped in, we weren't sure what to expect since this wasn't your usual NYC Omakase, but boy oh boy, it was quite the awesome meal worth every single penny! We went for the 15 course meal, which was $108 (and very reasonably priced), but like I said, WORTH ... EVERY ... SINGLE ... PENNY. If you can splurge a little, I highly recommend going all out to try everything. I can't comment on every piece of sushi because I would just say they all were amazingly fresh and delicious, but the experience put it over the top. The chefs were chatty and made sure to interact with us throughout the meal. Despite the fact that it was extremely loud inside, courtesy of a rambunctious party of 20 middle-age people behind us yelling like drunk teenagers, the chefs did their best to describe to us each piece of sushi we were being served. And it was very, very busy due to the large party also ordering from the Omakase menu, so the 2 chefs were working on double time, but they were pleasant throughout and in no way seemed flustered. We loved every second we were inside. Of course, we wish the large party was a bit quieter and we would guess on most evenings it wouldn't be that loud inside, but, nevertheless, we had a fantastic time celebrating our wedding anniversary and wouldn't change a thing about the experience or food. read more

Came here for an anniversary date. They have three options for omakase - 11 pieces for $78, 13 pieces for $98, and 15 pieces for $118. The staff was extremely attentive and very kind. I always had a full cup of green tea since they were constantly refilling it. They also do a great job of working around your preferences and any allergies you may have. Seating is a bit peculiar with bar seating and also table seating. We sat at the bar for our omakase experience. I'm not so sure how table seating would work here. The cuts of fish they provide are great and really fresh. They also do a great job of clearly explaining each piece and its components. However, I do believe they may overdo it sometimes with certain garnishes or seasoning. Sometimes simple is better and there were some pieces that I felt were overly salty or way too acidic. The same goes for the wasabi amount. Some cuts were just not fatty enough for the massive amount of wasabi given. Additionally, I also wished they could have seasoned their rice more. On the brighter side, this place definitely has the potential to be great. There were some pieces that I loved and they nailed perfectly. Honestly, they have good cuts of fish but they just need to learn how to respect the fish more. The highlight of our experience was the hospitality and friendliness of the staff. Part of a good omakase experience is having good conversation, which they nailed. read more

The first 3 pieces started questionable. Like they were good but not wow. Shortly after however, we were freaking wowed. The pacing is excellent about 10 mins apart but you wouldn't feel it so much if you had good company. The chefs r non-assuming (it's not a boogie spot but a hidden neighborhood gem) and worked tirelessly - there's 2 of them switching off to accommodate the 4 or 6 bar seatings for dinner. We saw how intricately, delicately each course was assembled and boy did the taste delivered. Musts: the eel spoon concoction, the truffle piece, the amazeball uni quail egg injectable ensemble, the baby yellowtail w shiso lemongrassy oil, the chutoro so good, the shrimp baked piece, the frigging finale handroll. We shared the yuzu sake that was sweet tangy deliciousness where we r immediately ordering a case. $118 for 15 pieces w free green tea ice cream. Incredible must try. Put aside 2 hours- you're welcome. read more

$68 for an 11 piece omakase experience: It's more expensive than the Sushi on Jones experience ($58 for 12 pieces) and the 11 piece doesn't include wagyu or uni, but it does have caviar and truffle in two of the pieces. I would realistically give them a 3.5 star review if Yelp allowed this. The pros: - The location works for me - It's not tooooo expensive - The sushi bar perfectly seated my 7-party - Most of the party who were new to omakase enjoyed the experience - the chefs do try to explain which piece they are serving you - there were four "courses" that I enjoyed. The first dish, the piece with the caviar, the truffle piece, and the handroll - the host was very accommodating and engaged with us quite a bit. If you're sitting towards the door, you probably won't get as good of an experience as if you're sitting inside though. The cons: - The pieces were honestly smaller than normal. I agree with one of the reviews before - the sushi piece with the tomato paste was really weird - I kept wondering if there was free tea here. I really wanted some tea but host was quite far and idk one of those situations where you just didn't feel like asking - maybe one or two pieces had overwhelming amount of wasabi - there were some table seating in the restaurant. Sort of awkward Overall, based on the 11 piece meal, I wasn't blown away and this isn't necessarily worth the trek. If you need omakase options and you live nearby, then yes def come otherwise there are many other options in manhattan and park slope. Given it's convenient for me and it was a pretty decent experience, I will come back to try the more expensive omakase. read more

Medium sized Omakase bar. One of the few places that serves omakase at tables too. We dined in on a Friday night. They were able to seat us immediately at 9:30. Three omakase options of 11, 13, or 15 plates plus lots of options for add ons. Nice variety of pieces. A bit more approachable too. Service was very attentive. Fair selection of sakes with a couple unfiltered options. read more

The gf and I both got the 13 piece menu which was perfect with the additional of few hand rolls to end the meal. Everything was served fresh. Made from the chef table to our plates. We washed it all down with the house hot sake which was smooth and not too dry. My overall favorite had to be the toro and caviar piece. I love my some o-toro! Other notable ones was the scallops and the spicy scallop hand roll (extra) and the uni (soo creamy)! Loved the cubed ginger pieces instead of the traditional slices. Overall a great dining experience. He chef and host were great. Note: Although it was a 13 piece menu (plus a few extra we ordered on the side) I only uploaded the favs and must try. read more

Great place! Next to our house has great omakase friendly staff! Chef changes the menu every few weeks.

Best omakase in Brooklyn. My favorite spot. Perfect time between courses and good sake selection

Leaning more towards 3.5-3-75. I have mixed feelings about this place. While I think the sushi wasn't bad, the order of the courses was a bit odd. Usually the lighter flavored fishes are served first with the heavier fishes served in the later courses. This put me off a bit since I felt like the heavier fishes (i.e. toro) affected the taste buds when eating the lighter courses. With that being said, while I have mixed feelings, my partner really enjoyed this place and said he would go back. Just goes to show everyone has their own perceptions and reviews may not necessarily dictate your own experience. If you're considering on trying this place out, go and see for yourself! read more

Made reservations for 4 on a Sunday night. There are bar seats and table seating. Prior to our arrival, they called to let us know that there were no more bar seats and asked if we were ok with sitting at a table. While bar seating would have made the experience more exciting, I was ok with table seating. Sometimes the wait for our sushi piece took a bit longer than we would have liked, but the wait is worth it! Each piece was full of flavor and texture. It is a little pricey, but what good omakase spot isn't? We opted for the 13 course for the additional truffle and uni course. Usually uni is a hit or miss for me. Sometimes it's too fishy for my liking, but the handroll with uni in it was delicious! Wouldn't make this a regular place to visit but the next time I come back, I will opt to sit at the bar. read more

This restaurant is kind of deep in Brooklyn by Sheepshead Bay, but if you live in the area I think it's definitely worth checking out! This restaurant definitely is more about showcasing the freshness and quality of the fish. I like places that meld flavors together better, but there were some real standouts in the set.
