Nestled in the East Village, Shinn East offers a cozy omakase experience with expertly crafted sushi, featuring fresh fish and a lively ambiance.
"There’s not a millisecond wasted at Shinn East, an East Village spot with two 12-seat bars. Wait outside for the previous group to clear out, then take your seat quickly and get ready, because they’ll serve your 12 pieces of well-seasoned, flavorful nigiri and a toro hand roll over the course of 55 minutes. It doesn’t feel rushed, but it’ll be over before you know it. As long as you’re ok with eating sushi with the voraciousness of a shop-vac eating sawdust, for $69, Shinn East is a really good option for taking yourself out, or the first stop of a casual date night. They also have a location in Hell’s Kitchen." - neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, hannah albertine, will hartman
"Tick tock goes the clock at Shinn East, an East Village sushi bar with a $69 omakase. You’ll wait outside for the people already eating to finish, feeling like an anxious Black Friday shopper, ready to throw elbows to get to your seat first. The sushi is solid: the rice is warm and well-seasoned, the fish is fresh, and they’ll even pull out the blowtorch, caviar, foie gras, and gold flakes to impress. But they’ll do it quickly, pumping out your 12 pieces of nigiri and a hand roll in about 40 minutes (that’s one piece every 3.1 minutes), with a 10-minute a la carte period at the end. All of this makes Shinn East wonderful for a date with the most important person in your life: you. " - Will Hartman
"A family-run spot known for sushi, other Japanese fare, and a BYOB policy. Opened in December 2008." - Luke Fortney
