Omakase Room by Shin

This was my first ever experience at an Omakase Restaurant and I fell in LOVE! The service was absolutely amazing. Every single item was carved to perfection and there were a ton of variety in all of them. The ambiance inside is beautiful, the wooden panels gave it a modern artistic feel. This is the perfect date spot!

TLDR: Omakase Room by Shin is quite unassuming but if you're more into traditional omakase, worth a visit. Very unique shari and some nice signature items.Surprised not one person has reviewed this spot but let's break the ice baby. Very unexpected meal but we enjoyed our omakase here very much. They occupy the space that was Kaiseki Room by Yamada. This is a restaurant from The Group. Grand Boucherie, Omakase Room by Mitsu, etc. It's a long very serene bar with lots of wood. For $175, it's a 14-course omakase. While the amount may not seem like much, the pieces are filling and we definitely didn't need extras - although I did get some.The first appetizer was grilled Hokkaido scallop, olive oil and a dab of yuzu kosho. Nice texture, kind of like pen shell but not as chewey. The yuzu kosho went well with the olive oil with the citrusy bit of spice.The second was a chawanmushi with Hokkaido uni. What was interesting is the uni was partially cooked giving it an interesting bouncy like texture to contrast with an incredibly fluffy egg custard.Then your nigiri progression starts. I won't bore you with all the details but the standouts..Madai. Nice firm white fish, a dusting of sudachi zest and such a nice pairing with his shari. His shari is very dark but not quite as sour/salty as you'd think. Good texture and mouth feel.Hagashi toro. This is a very premium cut of toro, typically taken from the top of the tail or the base of the belly. There is a lot of labor taken to remove all the sinew to just leave luscious fatty tuna. This with the shari was absolutely wonderful.Hagashi toro with iburigakko temaki. I thought the nigiri was good but the temaki was even better. The same cut but mixed with iburigakko, pickled and smoked takuan or radish. That crunch and smokiness went perfect to make this a very special hand roll.Hokkaido uni temaki. Not common for you to get something like this but it is packed full and with so much nutty umami flavor.Definitely will be back. Chef was very hospitable and great to chat with. He's been in the game a long time and it shows in his craft. If you've been on the fence, give it a try.

The 14 tasting course, service and vibes of this place was amazing! The chef was super kind and conversational. The sushi was so fresh and the pairings were very much balanced. Loved the experience here and would definitely recommend!

The 14-courses exceeded expectations! The menu had a lot of variety and Shin provided exceptional service. He was very attentive and engaging. Loved it, recommend this experience to all !

Absolutely amazing experience! Chef Shin is great chef and his food is beyond amazing. Place is stunning. I look forward to go back.

Shin was fantastic! Not only is he an amazing chef, but he's also incredibly personable and explained each course in detail, which really enhanced our experience. We were celebrating a birthday, and they gave us some wine on the house. The place is very clean and has a nice ambiance. Great service and great fish. Definitely recommend :)

All good things to say. The food was delicious and creative, and Chef Shin made the whole experience so enjoyable. I would recommend to anyone!
