Sushi Lin Park Slope — Restaurant in New York

A Heavenly Omakase Experience at Sushi Lin

I had the pleasure of dining at Sushi Lin recently, and it is an understatement to say that I was blown away by the experience. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere was serene, with tasteful lighting and décor, and the staff were attentive and friendly. However, it was the exceptional omakase experience that truly stole the show.

Omakase, a Japanese dining experience that translates to "I'll leave it up to you," is where the chef creates a personalized multi-course meal showcasing their skill, creativity, and the freshest ingredients available. At Sushi Lin, they have perfected this art form, bringing forth a delightful symphony of flavors, textures, and visual appeal.

The fish served during my omakase experience at Sushi Lin was nothing short of extraordinary. Each piece was selected with care and precision, sourced from the renowned Tsukiji Market in Japan and other top seafood markets around the world. The attention to detail was evident in each bite, as the freshness and flavors of the fish shone through with delicate balance and harmony.

The Lins, who have honed their craft at some of the finest omakase establishments in New York, including Blue Ribbon, Gaijin, and 15 East, have managed to create their own unique signature at Sushi Lin. Their expertise and passion are evident in every dish they present, with each course surpassing the previous one in terms of taste, presentation, and creativity.

What I particularly enjoyed about Sushi Lin's omakase experience was the emphasis on the natural flavors and textures of the fish. Rather than overwhelming the senses with heavy sauces or extravagant garnishes, the Lins allowed the fish to take center stage, highlighting its inherent qualities with subtle, yet thoughtful accompaniments.

The service throughout my dining experience was impeccable. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely interested in ensuring I had the best experience possible. They were more than happy to explain each dish and answer any questions I had about the ingredients or preparation methods.

In conclusion, if you're a fan of sushi and looking for a memorable omakase experience, Sushi Lin is a must-visit. It truly stands out as one of the best places for omakase in the area, with exceptional fish quality, artful presentation, and a warm and inviting atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend Sushi Lin and eagerly anticipate my next visit. This is a dining experience you won't...

I booked a last minute table for my friend's birthday because we love omakase and many places require booking a month in advanced, but Sushi Lin seems relatively lesser known for now. I heard about this place from the nycomakase Instagram page. We've been to Tanoshi and Nakazawa so far but what we loved about Sushi Lin was that although we might say the portions are slightly smaller (thumb length vs index finger length), the flavors are very innovative and unique, particularly the use of their house made soy sauce and truffle. We ordered the sushi/sashimi omakase for $80, which gave us four sashimi dishes (with at least two pieces each) and 8 sushi pieces, ending with one handroll - which was a little too oily for my taste, but for the most part they were all so delicious it was hard to choose a favourite to order extra pieces of. We also ordered the oyster sampler, which could have used a little less sauce, as it was overpowering, but the textures of the oysters were delicious. We would definitely come here again and try the chef's omakase at...

The very wide price range at which sushi can be bought makes sushi restaurants particularly hard to review and compare. Generally speaking of course, you get what you pay for but that being said the very high end of sushi dining that can top at $600 per person is out of reach for most people. For me then the trick becomes to find the rare pearl in the vast middle ground between grocery store sushi and super expensive Omakases.

Sushi Lin is such a place and I'd challenge anyone to find better value than their $26 sushi dinner comprising of nine pieces of sushi and one Maki roll. The sushi is simply delicious, fresh and prepared with obvious skill and care. It will therefore not surprise anyone to read that the two chefs and co-owners are veterans of high end sushi places. Although this might make a future reservation more difficult, I couldn't recommend it any more, it's a true gem.

PS Omakase options priced at $60, $80 and $100 are...
