Yes. I think the cheapest visit was about $110 +tax&tip, about 1.5 years ago.
It was very good, i liked the different textures, nice crispy nori, creamy toro and crunchy pickles. I prefer it to the blue crab hand roll.
Thanks @PorkyBelly. Sounds great.
In all our visits, we’ve never been offered the Negitoro Handroll. I’ll try and request it next time.
Love this report @Chowseeker1999. I’m continually amazed at how much information you get. Do they tell you as they’re serving? Or do you ask? Or is it possible that you know?

[/quote]You ate a hand roll .
Thanks @TheCookie.
We ask the chef. And as they get to know us, they just start telling us as each course comes out, knowing we appreciate the info.
Great. You have such a good memory then.
Porky how much was whole bill for you?
and number of pieces ?
It was $172 before tax and tip. I had 32 pieces.
That’s actually not too bad. What does that equate to time wise, 2 hours? Or do you slam it out Jiro style - 30 minutes.

[/quote]True. When I saw they don’t list prices on their website I figured it was one of those “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it” type establishments. But that seems pretty reasonable for those incredible selections.
Yes I’m a hypocrite. I just talked price .
Hi @TheCookie,
No no, it’s fine to ask about that. As I mentioned earlier our Omakase dinners usually run between $125 - $175, depending on seasonal items and add-ons. You can also mention to the server when you make the reservation that you’d like to keep the price within a certain range and they’ll accommodate.
They also have a great lunch special if you’re not a glutton like me: $23 for 7 pieces or $40 for 12, each option includes a hand roll and miso soup. Great way to whet your appetite. Warning: it’ll be hard to go any where else after eating at Shunji.
Great suggestion @PorkyBelly! Yah Shunji’s Lunch Special is a nice way to sample some of the great sushi offerings for cheap.
I’ve never ever left Shunji’s satisfied after their $40 lunch special. Always leave hungry.
One time, i did indulge myself and ordered some additional items after the lunch special and left with a $100 lunch bill. Oops.
You’re great. Thanks!
That seems pretty sweet. [quote=“PorkyBelly, post:47, topic:4422”]

It was a nice leisurely 2 hours, nothing like the bang bang I had at Jiro.
how quick and how much was Jiro
