Tremendous sushi making. The rice and fish are well balanced, the flavors were amazing. The selection for the omakase was varied and interesting. The grunt fish, barracuda, golden eyed snapper, Tasmanian trout, uni, and the wagyu were stand outs. The sake selection was great as well, with a wide selection.

An Omakase style sushi taste testing is a unique experience. You are leaving it up to the chef to pick out what you should eat. They serve one piece at a time. they wait for you to eat it and swallow it before they serve the next piece. so it doesn’t interfere with the taste of the last one. It comes with a hefty price but it’s something you have to try sometime in your life. The place had a nice atmosphere and it was small. the chef and the waitress was giving me some recommendations that taste amazing. They were awesome and extremely friendly.

On the pricier side but it was definitely worth it. Everything was delicious and fresh. We dined in the private room which is at basement level and unfortunately the heater wasn’t working so it was a little cold but, despite that, I still enjoyed my experience and would come back! Also, 2 people I was with got the beverage pairing (it’s not just sake) and they were very pleasantly surprised with the amount they got for the price. The omakase course ended with some very delicious ice cream and I couldn’t resist asking for a second serving of it (which they gave to me on the house!!). Overall I’d recommend it if you are looking for a high quality and unique omakase experience.

Came here for my birthday with friends. The best sushi I have ever had! Try omakase! Definitely worth the hype. Everything tasted fresh and looked amazing! I love everything from the ambiance, menu, and service. Everything I had was executed perfectly and tasted even better! Definitely worth a trip if you’re thinking about it! Will be back indefinitely!

Food was excellent. However, something that concerned me was the waitress who was not wearing her mask properly. It was always below her nose and at times she had pulled it down completely when she was within the sushi counter. Definitely needs work for service and professional given the current Covid situation. The sushi chefs and other servers did wear their mask properly so I was a tad bit confused on why they would not tell her to.

This was my first omakase experience, and I admit that I was hesitant because of the price ($228 pp). Shuko was worth every penny and then some.

Had my first omakase experience and it was mind-blowing! The dishes were like works of art, and the chef’s passion made it even better.

The food was delicious and we had a great time, outside of the noisy and argumentative couple on table next to us. Will probably select seats in front or the chef’s next time. Otherwise everything was great. The food, the atmosphere, the staff. It was all very good.

Shuko is a pricey restaurant, but is worth every penny. Sitting at the counter is a great experience. Watching the chef make every course of the omakase in front of you is awesome. Would recommend for special occasions and to go a least once.
