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.
Thatâs 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 donât list prices on their website I figured it was one of those âIf you have to ask, you canât afford itâ type establishments. But that seems pretty reasonable for those incredible selections.
Yes Iâm a hypocrite. I just talked price .
Hi @TheCookie,
No no, itâs 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 youâd like to keep the price within a certain range and theyâll accommodate.
They also have a great lunch special if youâre 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: itâll be hard to go any where else after eating at Shunji.
Great suggestion @PorkyBelly! Yah Shunjiâs Lunch Special is a nice way to sample some of the great sushi offerings for cheap.
Iâve never ever left Shunjiâs 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.
Youâre great. Thanks!
That seems pretty sweet. [quote=âPorkyBelly, post:47, topic:4422â]

It was a nice leisurely 2 hours, nothing like the bang bang I had at Jiro.
how quick and how much was Jiro
The man makes a nice subject for a foodocumentary, but I thought his sushi wasnât as ethereal as the film proclaims (way too much saucing on the neta IMHO). The pace of the meal was indeed quick: 45 min. Cost was about USD$300. This was in 2007 (before the film came out), so prices may have gone up since then.
I just checked the time stamps on my pics and from the first piece to the tamago was 28 minutes. It was about 33600 yen per person or 1200 yen per minute.
does that amount to $300 US ?
my god
