Shoji at 69 Leonard Street

Liked it! Only 12 seats. The reservation was not so difficult but you need to make sure you get it. Soup and octopus and dessert can improve a bit better. Otherwise it was great. I would like to come back for another try. Atmosphere and staff were very nice and friendly.

Reservations definitely required. Serene ambience with chef's full attention. Great anecdotes. Loved the uni, rose sea bass and the octopus. Those were the highlights for me. Not a huge fan of his rice as the entire meal leaned a bit too salty for my palate. The dessert was outstanding, coconut gratin and some brown sugar like jelly with a sesame toasted pineapple over chocolate. Loved the plating.

I guess there’re two occasions where I would leave comments: pretty good, or bad. This is a tasting menu that actually has nothing sparkles or clicking in terms of the course. Was also rushing around the end. It’s okay if I only paid 150 for the course but if it’s 300, I guess I’m expecting more, instead of a plain okay.

Great experience. Hospitality at its finest. Space is nice and quaint. Great pacing of meal with excellent selection of fish for the sushi and sashimi aspects.
