Omakase Room by Shin occupies a counter-seating space at 145 W 53rd St in Midtown Manhattan, part of a small group that also operates locations in Chicago and Washington, DC. The Edomae-style sushi omakase runs $175 per person and is served across a roughly two-hour seating, with lunch and dinner service available most days of the week.
The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Sundays. Lunch service runs from noon to 3pm Tuesday through Saturday, while dinner seatings start at 5pm and close at either 9pm (Tuesday-Thursday) or 11pm (Friday-Saturday). A sake pairing is offered alongside the tasting menu, and the English-language menu makes the experience accessible to non-Japanese speakers.
Seating is counter-only, with no private room option, and the dress code is smart casual. Reservations are recommended roughly two weeks in advance, and the booking process is described as moderately difficult, suggesting some planning is needed to secure a seat, particularly for popular time slots. The restaurant accepts credit cards and is not a cash-only operation.
While the venue is not currently Michelin-listed, its focus on Edomae sushi technique and counter-style presentation places it within New York's mid-tier omakase scene. Diners looking for a shorter, moderately priced introduction to sushi omakase in Midtown may find this a practical option, though those seeking multi-hour tasting marathons or extensive pairing menus should confirm specifics directly with the restaurant before booking.
