Sushi Lin SoHo

The omakase at this spot was one of the best I've ever had. We went for the 12-course omakase, and everything was incredibly fresh--the sushi just melted in my mouth. Each dish was better than the last, and I couldn't resist ordering extra pieces like the tuna with truffle, scallop, and my absolute favorite: fatty toro tuna with uni, caviar, and gold flakes.We paired the meal with an amazing cloudy nigori sake. The ambiance was cozy, with limited seating for just 4-6 people, which made the experience feel intimate.Overall, the service was fantastic. The chef was friendly and answered all our questions. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for exceptional omakase at a fair price, and I'll absolutely be coming back!

The service was absolutely terrible. The server had a cold attitude with no smile, yet was very friendly and smiling at the neighboring table. We received zero service--they even helped the other table hang their coats but completely ignored us. No refill water and only once refill the wine, we also had to call for the bill ourselves. I have never experienced such awful service! Food was so so too.

Omakase lunch was very very amazing. I think they only serve omakase here and the restaurant space isn't very large. Everyone sits at the sushi bar. It's quiet and peaceful. The service was very attentive and friendly. The private setting feels intimate and perfect for a date night!

I'm not too sure why this place has high reviews. We were the only diners at 5pm, which was kind of nice, but I do not feel like we got what we paid for. We were starving so we opted for the 17-course which came with 3 appetizers, nigiri, a handroll, and dessert. The quality of the fish was not the best I had in NYC (some were too fishy), and all the pieces of nigiri were not only pretty small, but also covered wayyy too many toppings to mask the underlying flavor of the fish. Some toppings did not complement the fish at all either. I wish they focused more on sourcing the freshest fish than having extra, over the top toppings.Some pieces I did enjoy though were: the salmon appetizer, salmon nigiri with seared tomato (pretty unique, never had a piece like this before), and the golden eye snapper. The dessert was also really delicious -- homemade tofu pudding! Tasted a bit like creme brulee but less sweet and a richer texture.Some pieces I was disappointed by was the toro handroll -- it was rather hard to eat; the nori used was not very fresh and neither was the minced tuna. The otoro was also just decorated in wayyy too many toppings.

Every course was superb. The Lin Special (salmon/charred tomato) was interesting and a real standout. Go for it.

Wow, Sushi Lin was definitely the best omakase I've had in NY during the past trip! The restaurant is gorgeous - Spacious, minimalist, and clean. Service was also attentive and friendly.We opted for the 17-piece nigiri because we were hungry and it definitely did not disappoint. For the price, we left feeling full and satisfied. My favorite was definitely the uni toro caviar because it looked so pretty with the gold flakes. It looked and tasted beautiful. The dessert was surprisingly good - Chef said it's a homemade milk pudding. Can't wait to come back!

Most interesting omakase I've had! Some standouts--the king salmon and roasted tomato nigiri, the toast with uni and tuna, the tuna(?) nigiri with mushrooms and shaved truffle. I was watching the chef prepare our courses and everytime I thought he was done, he would add something surprising to it! It was so fun to not know what was coming next as this place has their own take on traditional sushi. I do think some of it is a little unnecessary (caviar and gold flakes is a bit much) but overall it was delicious and a great evening. Would love to come again.

I love trying out different omakase spots. This one had to be one of the best ones I've had thus far. The fish was fresh and the quality was top tier. The service and chef's were great. Would love to come back!

I didn't take any pics of the 17 course meal but I wish I did so I could remember my favorites and order extra pieces of my favorites a la carte next time!Every piece was super fresh and felt a little different so the experience felt exciting with each course. The staff was really friendly and the experience was super intimate (as most omakases are) so we were able to converse with the chefs.There was one piece that was served with a mini bread toast and it was my favorite!

Sushi en fuego!!! We saw Chris Redd on tv and he said he love Sushi Lin and voila... he was not wrong. We enjoyed the 12 course and added a couple pieces and left super happy and full. Loved the space, the service and the confusingly great price point for the quality of ingredients and the fish. Chef Jason served up some tasty beauties. It has been a while since we've had such a wonderful omakase experience.Thank you Sushi Lin and thanks Chris Redd for being hilarious and loving great sushi.
