Shoshin 68 is such a gem. We did the 12-course omakase for $68 and every bite was so good. The toro lightly seared with salt was insane, the otoro with caviar was luxe, and I loved the little pickled radishes along the way. The unagi foie gras handroll was crazy decadent and one of my favorite bites of the night. At the end we added the surf and turf with wagyu, uni, and caviar which was just as delicious and over the top as it sounds. The house yuzu sake was delicious and we ended up having a little drink with Chef Eric at the end which made the night even more fun. The pacing was perfect, and the vibe wasn't stuffy at all. Fun for a nice date night or meal with a girlfriend! Honestly one of the best deals in the city.

Food, service and ambiance was great, intimate and good value. My partner and I had fun interacting with the chef and were pleased with the variety of fish and preparation. I only recently discovered this place so I hope more people enjoy what we did! Also bring Labubus because they only have one in their collection and they're looking to expand, say Jesse said it

Amazing! I came when they first opened and I absolutely loved it. Probably one of my top omakase experiences so far. It's so cozy and intimate and the service was great. The food itself was wonderful! I thought the omakase feature very unique flavors. Super happy about it and would definitely recommend

As a Lower Manhattan local, Shoshin 68 has become one of my favorite omakase spots. Chef Yee and his team provide exceptional care and attention, creating a welcoming and personalized experience for every guest. The quality and presentation of each unique piece of nigiri are truly top-tier, every course feels and tastes beautifully executed. Whenever friends ask me for an omakase recommendation, I send them to Shoshin 68 without hesitation.

Food was little too hyped up not like the best. The place was smaller than I thought. I would recommend Bar sitting instead of Tatami room. Overall it was alright.

Labubu decor :) Chef's playground.

People, you don't know what you are missing. This place! Omakase for under $100 in SoHo. 16 course menu where the chef guides you through a special culinary experience. Small and intimate. Recommend coming Halloween night to enjoy the show.

I came here the other day and had a great experience! The staff were super nice and even though we arrived earlier than our reservation time, they accomodated seating us right away. They served us complemntary green tea and pickled radishes. The server was very attentive and filled back up everyones tea. The bathroom was also super nice, fancy, and clean! We got the basic menu set which was 12 courses. For an appetizer we got toro tartare which was flavored so well and came with a crispy chip on top that we were supposed to break and mix into the tartare. Every nigiri piece came with a really big piece of fish. At other omakase places I can usually fit the whole piece easily in my mouth but with these I was really stuffing my mouth. The larger portion of fish on top of each nigiri made the entire meal really filling and I was suprised to actually feel full afterwards. The nigiri tasted pretty fresh and the chef dressed the pieces in really unique, yummy ways. For example, pieces came with toppings like pickled wasabi, turffle nori puree, ponzu radish, and so on. After our meal, the chef gave us all some complemetary crispy salmon on the house which was seasoned well. I also came here to celebrate my birthday and they prepared a little card as well as 2 pieces of vanilla ice cream mochi plus a song on the house which was really nice of them!! Overall, the staff was very friendly and the meal was fresh and filling. Would definately recommend coming here!!

Chef Yee is THE BEST!!!!! Absolutely love it here and actually think this is the best omakase out there. It's not "just a sushi restaurant" and really has a wonderful menu and flow of set courses that are unique from other omakase spots. I've known the chef since he worked at another omakase spot and was elated when I learned he was opening his own spot and it's even better than I could have imagined. Also after having attended the incredible grand opening, it's only gotten better. He also made me and my group his special salmon and Parmesan off menu piece which blew my mind. IYKYK!!!! The BYOB is also a huge value add (especially as someone who loves wine). Very much a spot for local regulars which shows how well regarded it is, and the team treats everyone so nicely. Definitely sit at the bar - you get the full experience up close and personally. Not sure the deal with the review from the guy who seemed upset about his experience but do not listen to his review - you will love it! Don't even think about going to other omakase spots, this is the one. I absolutely cannot wait to come back!

Lots of under $100 omakases opening up across the city and this one is a gem of a find. $68 for 12 courses is such a great deal. We sat at the counter and the chefs were very friendly and service was great. They have a seasonal menu as well. At the moment they don't have a liquor license but they said it's coming soon. The fish is fresh and presentation was clean. If a no frills, just good sushi omakase is what you're looking for, def give this place a try.

We made a reservation in advance and arrived at Shoshin68 just as the omakase experience for our time slot began. The space is compact, with one long serving bar and two dining tables, which made the atmosphere feel intimate. We were seated at the bar near the window and served 12 courses of excellent nigiri and hand rolls. Since we booked through Pulsd, we also received unlimited green tea and house-made pickles. Two sushi chefs prepared everything with skill and personality, sharing stories about the restaurant along the way. It's a great spot for a date or a night out with a close friend.

Chef Yee was amazing! Every dish he served was delicious. He was also very personable and made us feel at home. Not only was the food excellent but also a great price of $68 for 12 courses! I'm from LA and you'll never find an Omakase of that caliber anywhere close to that price. If I ever find myself in NYC again I'm definitely paying Chef Yee another visit.

Kylee H.

Wanted to come in here on a previous date, but it didn't work out for me, so after looking at them online for a while, we came now to celebrate a personal milestone! The omakase was delicious, a lot of different flavors in every bite, and the pickled radish was a great cleanser between courses. It was a friendly and intimate environment - we loved talking to the chef about life and learning a bit more about sushi. Definitely worth the price and will be back! Highly recommend.

We're in New York for a business trip and stumbled upon this new spot in Soho, which just opened a week ago. We were absolutely amazed by how incredible the experience was definitely one of the best omakase I've ever had in the city. If you get the chance, definitely give it a try! Each course was a work of art, It truly feels like a hidden gem that won't stay hidden for long.

Menu as of 10/20/2024!

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

One of my neighborhood favorites, I come here so often just for the combination of service, quality, and taste. My servers are usually Denise and Toshi and they are always on top of their game. I love it here! Will definitely keep coming back, just for their (excellent) service alone. Highly recommend.

They share a takeout menu and it's super easy to order--text what you want to the phone number on the website and pickup in ~20 minutes :). You pay on a handheld and they don't ask for tip for takeout. I love this process and truly wish more sushi restaurants in LA adopt the takeout box. The only one I know of is hefty but also $200 each lol, making Sanyuu's $69 omakase and $78 Everything don, not to mention the $30 giant salmon nigiri set, A STEAL! I enjoyed most of the pieces but I will say I don't like their amaebi or uni at all. I'm not sure what kind of uni is used here but it's the type with a very strong mineral flavor & aftertaste that I don't find enjoyable. We're spoiled by easy access to live spot prawns everywhere and fresh SB uni. Despite this, I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I lived in the city.

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.

Interior was cramped and loud. Really fitting as many tables as they can in the space. I saw others mentioning to make reservations. I went without one and got lucky. There was a table opening 30 minutes out. Would recommend having one, but you can definitely try walking in. First come first serve basis Overall, solid spot for great tasting food. Great for smaller parties of 2, but expect it to be tight with spacing
