Master Critic Review

Shuko 8.8
Union Square
A sleek, reservation-only sushi counter where chefs Jimmy Lau and Nick Kim run an omakase that balances classic edomae structure with occasional luxe flourishes. The experience is deliberate and polished, with a tight room that feels like a private club. Expect top-tier fish and a serious special-occasion vibe.
Must-Try Dishes: Chef’s omakase tasting, Toro and uni progression, Caviar add-on bites
Scores:
Value: 7.4 Service: 8.8 Consistency: 8.7 Food Quality: 9.1 Atmosphere: 8.5 Cultural Relevance: 8.2
What makes it special: High-precision omakase in a minimalist, high-luxury setting.
Who should go: Omakase purists and milestone celebrators.
When to visit: Late seating for a more unrushed flow.
What to order: Full omakase, toro add-ons, optional beverage pairing.
Insider tip: Let them know favorite fish in advance—chefs may tailor bites.
