An immersive Japanese omakase experience with up to 19 courses [1]. Offers a premium culinary journey, though value is debated against other options [2, 3].
Shogun Omakase provides a curated Japanese dining journey, specializing in traditional omakase with multi-course chef's choice menus [1]. Diners can expect an extensive culinary exploration, with some experiencing up to 19 courses of sushi and delicate Japanese preparations [1]. While generally praised for its quality, some reviewers note that the value proposition can be debated, especially when compared to other omakase options in NYC [2, 3].
Shogun Omakase specializes in traditional multi-course omakase, featuring a variety of sushi, sashimi, and nigiri, with some meals extending to 19 courses [1]. Dishes like crab claws in a buttery broth and grilled eel on rice are noted positively [1]. While the spicy tuna on rice was good, it was not considered elite for the price [1]. Some reviewers found the nigiri selection could be improved, particularly the absence of toro, and suggested other establishments offer better value for similar or lower prices [2, 3]. Unagi is also a recommended option [4].
"The unagi don is a highly recommended dish at Shogun Omakase [4]."
Customers generally find the omakase experience to be high-quality and enjoyable, with specific dishes like crab claws and unagi receiving praise [1, 4]. However, some feel the price point is high for the selection of fish offered, suggesting better value may be found elsewhere [2, 3].
Important Note
Some diners feel that the price point for the omakase experience may not offer the best value compared to other sushi and omakase establishments in New York City [2, 3].
"This restaurant has great omakase and also offers unagi (eel), which is recommended if your partner likes it."
Positive"This user found Shogun Omakase to be solid, particularly suitable for when one is in Midtown for errands, though it wasn't their absolute favorite."
Neutral"This user expressed complete agreement with the previous comment, indicating that they also found Shogun Omakase to be not worth the $68 price point when compared to other options."
Negative"For $68, the commenter believes Shogun Omakase is difficult to justify compared to other high-quality options like Noz Market's box, although Shogun offers more fish and rice. They suggest better value can be found at places like Sushi West 35, Sugarfish, or Kazunori in NYC."
Negative"This commenter found the Shogun Omakase experience to be borderline worth the cost, comparing it to getting a combo with soup and salad for a lower price versus a substantial dinner."
Neutral"The user found the omakase experience to be good with nice portion sizes, but felt the price point was a bit high given the specific fish selections and the inclusion of some less premium items like spicy tuna on rice. They suggested that adding a piece of toro would elevate the experience to a more elite level."
