Seafood Omakase in Chinatown With 13 Courses and a Sake Club

Omakase in Chinatown takes a relaxed, homey turn at Shinsen, where a tasting of 13 seafood courses shares the evening with cocktails and music. Tucked in at 44 Bowery, dinner runs about 100 dollars per person, and the staff often stop to chat and remember the names of returning diners.

Beyond the full tasting, the lounge pours happy hour drinks with small bites, and wagyu and eel sit among the menu choices. Tokyo Sake Club, an intimate speakeasy inside the same venue, hosts private events and after-parties. Outdoor seating offers another option on a mild evening.

Shinsen opens Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 4 PM to 2 AM, Saturday from 1 PM to 2 AM, and Sunday from 1 PM to 11 PM, with late hours that suit a second round after dinner.
