    Loved this place. Great waiter, Tony. He was very accommodating when i asked to replace asparagus with Mango in one of their special rolls. I will definitely be back when in the area.

    There was no one here at 4pm on a Saturday and I was hungry and saw that the menu had a great variety of sushi and fried rice platters of different meats. They got squid fried rice too! Decided to get a sashimi platter dinner, which includes salad and soup. The salad dressing is the bomb and I cleaned it off. The soup was not as salty as I thought it would be. When the platter came out, the sashimi was paired with broccoli, baby corn, and carrots. The sashimi was pretty good though. The vegetables on the side weren't that great and were very raw. Not cooked well. Had to take the fried rice to go because I couldn't finish it.

    Solid sushi spot in Great Neck! It's not a huge space so it's something to be aware of if dining in. However, no issues with the space that they have. I ordered the 1980's (salmon with avocado with tuna and with some more salmon and avocado), Captain Jack (an eel based roll), and Good Call (a crunchy tuna sushi roll). Definitely loved everything I got here!

    Met here for dinner which was midway for both parties to meet up. Sashimi was ok, had fresher quality fish before. The carpaccio had way too much mixed greens under each piece of yellowtail so if you take a slice with the greens you don't taste the fish (yes, you can also eat the yellowtail alone). The appetizers were basic nothing too exciting. On the smaller side, not much decor to make it feel like you're in Japan. Wasn't too crowded the service was slow didn't check in much. Didn't quite give me that authentic Japanese cuisine ambiance feeling.

    Pretty good local Great Neck sushi restaurant. All the sushi & sashimi is prepared fresh and reasonably priced. The restaurant is not big but plenty of elbow room nonetheless. Staff is pleasant and well mannered. Overall a pleasant experience. My only concern for not giving a five star review is their miso soup is on the thin side, meaning lack of miso paste. In addition, the ginger dressing in their house salad is pretty watery. Maybe it was just an isolated incident, but let's see next time.

    Really enjoyed the Yellowtail Scallion and Spicy Tuna Rolls that we got two orders! The rolls are generously filled but the rice and nori are also delicious. The fish is so fresh and every piece melted in our mouths.

    3.25 When you've visited a restaurant several times over the past few years, they must be doing something right. Whether it's the food, service, ambiance, or all of the above, something keeps drawing you back. This is how my wife and I felt about Shoshaku. However, during my last few visits, things have changed. If I had reviewed this place years ago, it would have received a 4.5 rating. Unfortunately, these days, I can only give it a 3.25. On the positive side, the pricing is definitely a highlight here. Their specialty rolls are reasonably priced, with almost all of them under $20 each. Some of the good ones we had this time included the Middle Neck Roll and the Outside the Box. The Geso Karrage (fried squid) and the Chicken Nanban (chicken nuggets) were fried and seasoned well. However, there were several issues this time around. Many of the drinks on their menu were unavailable. I can understand this happening once, but multiple offerings were not readily accessible. The veggie chips served with the Holy Grenade were so stale that they smelled terrible. When we informed the server, she smelled them and immediately apologized. This was an easy call to avoid serving. When they brought out new chips, it was clear they had simply opened a new bag. The Spicy Naruto wasn't spicy at all and seemed poorly rolled, as it immediately unraveled. One of my favorite dishes in the past, the Creamy Mentai Udon, was a bit under-seasoned (perhaps due to a lack of roe), and the poached egg was overcooked. The final straw was that the two servers seemed quite disorganized. When we asked for our check, they appeared to have completely forgotten and we waited about 10 more minutes before we were able to receive our check. I hope Shoshaku addresses some of these issues. It is a cute restaurant, and their food used to be really solid.

    I've tried this place a few times, and it had become my go-to spot for sushi/sashimi. Not owned by Japanese ppl, but their food is actually pretty good. They offer lots of options- including omakase, special rolls, tapas, donburi bowls, noodle & fried rice, and lunch specials. The service is always quick and friendly. My son loves their stuff as well. We usually get the hamachi kama, yellow tail sushi, the hot mama roll is my fave, toro truffle rolls, inari sushi, crispy rice with either spicy tuna or salmon and sashimi combo. Everything tasted fresh & tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. Truly a hidden gem- worth trying them out!

    Shoshaku is a reliable solid sushi place that always delivers regardless of what you order (sushi, sashimi, any of the hot items, etc). On top of that, the service is great too. I'm not sure what her name is, but the lady with the short hair/bangs is so kind and it's clear that there are regulars at this place and rightfully so. If I ever work in this area again, I'll 100% be back.

    Sushi + roll combo ($20). Came with miso soup, salad, and tea.

    Just visited for the second time today while in the area. Solid place, solid food, amazing prices (especially for the lunch special, pictured). While not particularly memorable experiences both times, this is a good place if you're craving sushi and want a place that will do the job, or are looking for a place that's quiet. Service is pretty laid back, so you need to be a little patient (at during weekdays in the middle of the day). Just nudge the staff if you need to pay quicker or have questions. Needless to say, I'd keep this on my list of restaurants to go to when in Great Neck. For what I was expecting and what I got, my review would be closer to 4.5.

    Fantastic food!! One of the best Japanese meals I've ever had. The salads and fish were outstanding, tender and delicious. Delicious appetizers and entrees, the bread was warm and scrumptious. My kids and I devoured everything. Super friendly staff and quick service also.

    I made reservations for my family to have our Mother's Day lunch here at 1pm. We were a few minutes late but seated right away! We noticed around 1:30pm, a lot more people started coming in and before we knew it, all the tables were filled. The restaurant is a lot smaller than I initially thought it would be; I think they can seat ~30 people in the whole restaurant so I could see there being a wait on a busy day We ordered 2 appetizers. The Hamachi Kama was really good, my first time having it! Super crispy, but the fish was still tender inside. A lot of other tables also ordered this. We also got the fried calamari which was okay. Good but a little small. For entrees, we got the Shoshaku Set for 2, one Same Old roll and a Gyudon for my brother since he doesn't eat sashimi. You get a soup AND salad for each entrée (the set and gyudon) so we ended up getting 3 soups and 3 salads, which we shared amongst the 4 of us. The gyudon came out first- very little beef but a lottt of rice. The flavor was good but I don't think I'd get this again. The ratio is very off! Needed probably double the amount of beef and could do with less rice too. The service was a little slower because they were really busy! We finally got our sushi. The set was really good, I didn't have any bad pieces and everything seemed really fresh. For dessert, we opted for the Yuzu cheesecake, green tea tiramisu and green tea crepe cake. I would pass on the desserts next time and go elsewhere. Both green tea desserts were frozen hard in some places making it difficult to eat with our plastic spoons. The yuzu cheesecake was decide but tiny and very subtle in flavor. Would still come back for their set and to try some new things!

We started with an espresso martini, which was excellent--smooth, well-balanced, and a great way to kick off the meal. My husband and I each took a few sips before I remembered to snap a photo--always a good sign. For appetizers, the wasabi rock shrimp and spicy tuna crispy rice were both standouts--fresh, flavorful, and nicely executed with great texture. We also ordered the 10 piece nigiri flight, which was consistently impressive. The fish tasted fresh across the board, with the uni being a highlight--rich, creamy, and exceptionally fresh. The shrimp tempura roll was delicious--crispy and well-balanced. The only dish that didn't quite land for us was the ebi hamachi futomaki. It wasn't bad, just not a favorite for my husband--I only remembered to take a photo when we were nearly finished. From the kitchen, we shared the black cod and sea bass--both outstanding. Tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked--definite highlights of the meal. For dessert, we shared the peach cobbler, which was a great finish. Warm peaches with hints of bourbon and cinnamon, paired with Japanese vanilla ice cream--comforting and well-balanced. Service was warm throughout, and the quality of the food was evident in nearly every dish. While it leans toward the higher end in price, the overall experience fell just shy of a full five stars--but was nevertheless very enjoyable.

The lights are dim, there's live music certain nights, comfy intimate seating and a modern flair. Service was excellent, the waitress was extremely helpful and patient with us. Parking is limited and a task in itself, so plan accordingly.

But what missed the mark for me was the "room for improvement" on a few things. The ramen was decent, broth was not packing enough umami for me. The extra noodle portion was ample. Overall the ramen just lacked that oomph factor but it's a decent noodle soup otherwise. The other item was the poke bowl we ordered. It sounded great on the menu but arrived a bit disappointing. The bowl was only half full and skimpy on the rice and ingredients in general. While it offers so many choices and includes a variety of items in three categories - it doesn't justify the portion. I believe you get more at standard poke place. Now onto my sashimi deluxe. It came with a bowl of rice but not with miso soup. I realized it when I got the bill. Many places have entrees that come with soup or salad (my bad for assuming). Overall food was good so no complaints there. I just wished the proportion was to par. On that note, I've ordered from them many times for home delivery and they are very good with packaging and delivery times. Despite my rating on this visit, it's still a solid spot to dine in.
