69 Leonard Street, or Shion 69 Leonard, is a Michelin-starred sushi restaurant in New York City, located in Tribeca, serving traditional Edo-mae style sushi. The first sushi-ya, or sushi chef, was Eiji Ichimura from Sushi Ichimura in 2017, followed by Derek Wilcox, and then Shion Uino, with the name changed to Shion after he became the sushi-ya.[1] However, Shion left the restaurant in late December, 2025, and the name has been switched back. The current status of the restaurant is in limbo as they experienced a fire in early December 2025, and it has since been closed for reservations.[2] As of 2025, the restaurant costs $480 a person, including a mandatory 20% tip, making it also one of the most expensive sushi spots in the city, behind only Yoshino, Sushi Sho, and Masa.
