The chef here is so talented. I followed him here from Ito and he never disappoints. Each piece of fish is of the utmost quality and literally melts in your mouth. I'm salivating just thinking of the experience I had. The ambience is cozy and laid back, not one of those places where you feel awkward if you have to sneeze. Bathroom is super chic with Chanel perfume offered if you need a quick spritz. Service was top notch and everyone was so attentive. My glass was never empty. All the staff here are so friendly and make you feel truly welcome.
Run to this place! You will not be disappointed! Will definitely come back soon.
I recently dined at Shota and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The quality of the rice was simply unparalleled, perfectly seasoned and textured. The selection of fish showcased the chef's dedication to sourcing the freshest ingredients, each piece melting in my mouth with a burst of flavor. The soy sauce elevated every bite, enhancing the natural taste without overpowering it.
The attentive and knowledgeable service made the evening even more enjoyable, with the chef explaining each dish and creating a personalized journey through the meal. This establishment truly deserves five stars for its outstanding rice, fish, soy sauce, and impeccable service.
What truly impressed me was the attention to detail beyond the dining area. The cleanliness of the restroom reflected the establishment's commitment to excellence. The thoughtful design and luxurious touches, like the presence of Chanel perfume, elevated the ambiance to a whole new level. This restaurant is a rare gem that excels not only in its cuisine but also in creating a complete and extraordinary dining journey!
This gem is about to be brooklyn's best sushi spot. They recently just opened but the experience felt like a well oiled machine, seamless and delightful. The ambience is sleek and elevated with beautiful attention to detail. Chef Cheng serves an 18 course omakase journey filled with indulgent and fresh flavors. The ingredients really stood out as the star of the show. you can taste the difference in their carefully sourced rice and fish. The fish we tried were flown in from Toyosu fish market in Japan. I think their rice and uni was also sourced from Japan. The ingredients were just so fresh and we enjoyed getting to watch the chef prepare fresh wasabi and ginger right before us. i even got a chance to torch my own wagyu! We ended our meal with wagyu and toro, my favorite. All in all, such an incredible experience. The staff was lovely, vibrant and so fun. Will be back soon!
Absolutely incredible!! I rarely leave reviews but this place deserves 10 stars. The staff is SO FRIENDLY which I rarely find in other omakase spots. The food is incredibly fresh and perfectly curated. Every bite is like a touch of heaven. They also have the best sake I've ever had. Williamsburg has very few sushi spots worth going to, and I'm so excited to no longer need to cross the bridge when I'm craving high-grade sushi. Welcome to the neighborhood!!!
One of the best bites of salmon I've had, a remarkably buttery appetizer from a very very strong addition to NYC's ever growing sushi scene. Omakase for $175 includes 18 courses at the new Shota in Williamsburg. Opening this week by Chef Cheng who comes from Tribeca favorite Ito, it's now Brooklyn's best sushi restaurant
An outstanding omakase experience! Chef Cheng and Chef Nikki described each piece of the 18 course meal and focused on making sure we enjoyed our dining experience. Shota easily serves the best sushi in Williamsburg. Highly recommended!
We had a great experience!! The menu was amazing. The restaurant was beautiful. The service felt genuine and inviting. And the music was on point. Thank you, Chef Nikki! Definitely recommend!
This is a 10/10 omakase experience. It was truly a pleasure to be served such high quality fish and rice. The chef was knowledgeable and welcoming from start to finish. We will certainly be back!
Great service and friendly staff. The chef is very kind and interesting. The food was amazing and fresh. Absolutely loved the appetizers.
Probably the best and most thoughtful Omakases I’ve been to in awhile. Got to try two different rices while being explained what goes into each one.
Explained each fish thoughtfully and carefully to the point where they tailor the experience based on some simple questions to understand preference on fishes.
Amazing experience and will come again without hesitation.
