Premium Omakase & Sushi. Chef-curated multi-course journey. Highlights include exquisite sushi, sashimi, & unagi.
Embark on a culinary journey at this Japanese establishment, where the chef meticulously crafts a multi-course omakase experience. From delicate sushi and sashimi to expertly prepared grilled eel and other traditional preparations, each dish is a testament to authentic Japanese cuisine. While the omakase is generally well-received, some find the value proposition to be a bit high for the specific fish selections included.
This Japanese restaurant specializes in an authentic omakase experience, featuring a chef's choice multi-course menu. Highlights include sushi, sashimi, and grilled eel (unagi). While many enjoy the crab claws, salmon, tuna, and other nigiri pieces, some patrons feel that for the price, more premium fish like toro should be included, and items like spicy tuna on rice might not meet elite expectations.
"The unagi (eel), particularly the unagi don, is highly recommended and described as a dish to 'dream about'. The crab claws in a buttery broth and salmon/tuna sashimi are also noted as enjoyable parts of the omakase."
Customers generally find the omakase experience to be good with pleasant portion sizes. However, some feel the price point is a bit high considering the specific fish selections and the inclusion of less premium items.
Important Note

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."
