Omakase Room by Shin

Graciously kind service. I never got her name, but she truly made the night memorable. The chef was amazingly fun and cool, bringing a relaxed and chill vibe to the evening. The minimalistic atmosphere perfectly complemented the experience. Every piece of sushi was a hit! Fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully crafted. From start to finish, it was a marvelous adventure. I highly recommend it. For the quality, it’s definitely worth it.

Had a romantic dinner Tuesdays evening. Only seating that evening. This experience was as close as you get to an authentic omekase in Japan, with a twist. Instead of normally adding soy sauce Chef Shin would make a slight variation in the flavour. Little more smokey flavours on some items made it pair well with the sake we had. Sourcing each seafood from around the world it was great to see other countries can offer up this quality. Great resteraunt to have a nice night out!

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.

I love this place. It is small, cozy and very friendly omakase chef Shin. We had a great time enjoying 14 course omakase and chatting with the chef across the counter

At Omakase Room by Shin, I found what I’ve been chasing through countless sushi bars and endless plates of nigiri — a true omakase experience that speaks with clarity and finesse. I've eaten at the greats - fatty bluefin tuna in Japan, Sushi Nakazawa, to Shiro's in Seattle, but this place… this is where the magic happens. Too often, you get an omakase where every fish is drowned under the same uniform glaze, masking the uniqueness of what’s on the plate. Not here. Here, each piece has its own story, its own seasoning that lifts, never drowns. Every slice of fish is a declaration, an announcement of itself. It isn’t just about freshness; it’s about respect. Respect for the fish, the craft, and most importantly, the eater. Each course is its own character, a standalone star, yet somehow, they all play off each other in a beautiful sequence — like a perfectly scripted movie where every scene has a purpose. Some stellar pieces that truly shined through as star dishes - my personal favorites were: the kanpachi, the madai with a hint of yuzu, the scallop, the eel, and the 14 day aged blue fin tuna. Each bite builds on the last, a crescendo that swells with every mouthful until you reach the end, and there it is: the tamago. Fluffy as a cloud, with a hint of sweetness that dances on your tongue, dissolving like a dream — an unexpectedly soft and elegant encore that leaves you wanting more. This isn’t just dinner. It’s a narrative, a celebration, a damn revelation in sushi form. Omakase Room by Shin doesn’t just serve food; it takes you on a journey, one you won’t forget anytime soon.

Absolutely incredible. Beginning with the service here is it top notch. My glass was never empty and I felt as if I could ask for anything freely. The food was beyond what I was expecting. Everything was so flavorful and well prepared. I couldn’t recommend this place more

This was a really great dinner. Chef shins sushi was excellent, his Shari zu was seasoned great, he uses a special dark vinegar that really brings out the favor in his nigiri. The service was amazing, Do took very good care of me and all around as the other guests too. Her sake selections were perfect to pair with some of the fish! The team did an outstanding job! Look forward to going back:)

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 !

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 :)

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

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!
